# Check if we're running on UNIX - connect to the TCL Server
# which must be running on the chassis
if [isUNIX] {
if [ixConnectToTclServer $host] {

return 1
}
}
# Now connect to the chassis
if [ixConnectToChassis $host] {
ixPuts $::ixErrorInfo
return 1
}
# Get the chassis ID to use in port lists
set chas [ixGetChassisID $host]
set card 1
set port 1
set portList [list [list $chas $card $port]]
# Login before taking ownership
if [ixLogin $username] {
ixPuts $::ixErrorInfo
return 1
}
# Take ownership of the ports we'll use
if [ixTakeOwnership $portList] {
ixPuts $::ixErrorInfo
return 1
}
if {[ixSetPortPacketGroupMode $chas $card $port write] != 0} {
ixPuts "Could not set port $chas:$card:$port to PacketGroup mode"
}
# Let go of the ports that we reserved
ixClearOwnership $portList
# Disconnect from the chassis we're using
