Use txlocate to physically locate a TX board in a chassis. Use this utility when:
Making board cabling changes
Debugging
Hot swapping a CompactPCI TX board
txlocate blinks the end bracket LEDs of the specified board.
Run txlocate according to the following syntax:
txlocate -b boardnum -h holdtime -p passes
where:
Argument |
Description |
-b boardnum |
Number of the board for which to blink the LEDs. Default is 1. |
-h holdtime |
Number of milliseconds to hold the LEDs on and off for each toggle. Default is 1000 ms. |
-p passes |
Number of times to toggle the LEDs on and off. Default is 3. |
When you run txlocate on a PCI or PCI Express TX board, all end bracket LEDs blink for the specified holdtime and passes. When you run txlocate on a CompactPCI TX board, all end bracket LEDs with the exception of green, yellow, and red status LEDs blink for the specified holdtime and passes.
For example, to blink the LEDs for TX board 1 for one minute, enter the following command:
txlocate -b 1 -p 30
