SUT Administration Fields

The table below describes the fields used in the General and Meta Data tabs of the System Under Test Administration window...

NOTE: You may choose to display the SUT list by Name/IP Address/Type. Above the SUT list, enter string that will filter the SUTs by matching name, IP Address, or Type.

General

NOTE: SUT Name, IP address and management IP address are mandatory fields.

Field

Description

Values

Default

SUT Name

This field can be used to either look up an SUT or enter the name for a new SUT.

This is the label that is used to identify the SUT in the drop-down lists in the Test Case Settings window.

This name must be unique from all other SUTs defined in the test system.

SUT Names are case-insensitive, for example, you cannot have a SUT named Sut1 and SUT1.

1 — 64 alphanumeric characters, spaces, or symbols

N/A

IP Address

This is the IP address to which the test server will send the test traffic.

Enter a valid SUT IP address or Domain Name for SUT IP. A network mask or prefix length can optionally be appended to the address using bit notation.

NOTE:

Domains, IPv4, and IPv6 addresses allows letters, numbers, and characters such as, -, ., and :
Your entry is validated against standard Java IP address resolution, that is, DNS lookup on the client and standard IP format validation.

0.0.0.0/0 — 32 (IPv4)

0::0/0 — 128(IPv6)

Domain Name

N/A

Type

Use to identify the SUTs in categories by defining role of the SUT and the device type.

Up to 30 letters, numbers or underscores.

GENERIC

Username

A user name that can establish a Connect session with the SUT.

1 — 30 characters (not limited to any specific characters)

N/A

Password

The corresponding password for the Username.

Maximum of 16 characters

N/A

Confirm Password

Used to verify the value entered in Password.

N/A

Management IP Address

The IP address of the SUT that is used for a connection via Connect button.

Management IP has the same rules as the IP Address. You may enter any valid IP address or Domain Name.

When using Domain Names, the name has to be valid on the Client that creates/edits the SUT, on the TAS and the TS for it to work. That is, the Client, TAS, and TS need to access the same DNS Server for Domain Names to work.

0.0.0.0 (IPv4)

0::0 (IPv6)

N/A

SSH Port

Enter the SUT's Management/Admin port.

The default value is 22. Set the value to match the port required to access the SUT using SSH from the TSs.

The Range is 1 to 65535.

Private User Group

Select whether the SUT is "Available to Everyone" (all users) or a specific "User Group".

Additional information about User Groups.

Available to Everyone or a specific User Group

Available to Everyone

IMPORTANT: The Username, Password, and Management IP Address are used by the test server to collect data from the SUT, and by users to telnet or SSH to the SUT. If this information is not correct, test functions that query the SUT cannot operate successfully.

Meta Data

The Meta Data for the SUTs provides a mechanism to store SUT specific Test Case configuration information. On the System Under Test Administration window, select the Meta Data tab to define information associated with the SUT.

The Meta Data is a table of Name-Value pairs that you can define.

Name, Value Columns

You may edit each cell under the Name and Value column and enter any ASCII character.

New Row (Name-Value pair)

Click Add to insert a row.
Enter names and values and press Tab to insert a new row.
Enter information/type into the last row and a new row is automatically inserted.

NOTE: A row with labels <Enter Name> and <Enter Value> is always visible.

Select a row to Delete, Cut, Copy, Paste, move the value pair Up or Down.

NOTE: Delete, Cut, Copy, Paste, Up and Down is available when you select a row. Cut and Copy stores the information on the clipboard and Paste inserts inform from the clipboard to the Meta Data row.

NOTE: Click Save to store information on the TAS.

TIPS:

From within the test case editor, press F5 to display the Meta Data Viewer/Selector window for assistance with completing a test case parameter.

The Meta Data Viewer/Selector window includes Meta Data within the context of the Test Case, that is, Test Server assigned and SUTs being used/selected.

Not all parameters support F5 function.
To fill a parameter value using Meta Data Viewer/Selector window:
Position the cursor in the relevant parameter.
Click F5 to display the Meta Data Viewer/Selector window.
Click the required TS or SUT, then the relevant Name-Value pair applicable to the parameter and click Select (or double click the row), to paste the value into the Test Case parameter.

NOTES:

The selected Name-Value Pair (e.g., associated PHY name and label) is copied to the clipboard when you click Select or you double click.
The selected Name-Value’s Value is pasted into the source field when you click Select button or you double click.
If the field format is different than the value being filled, an error displays. For example, you cannot paste an IP address into an Integer field, and you cannot paste a MAC address into a rate field, and so on.
