Add a server

If the IXIA TEXTML Server that you need to access does not appear in the TEXTML Administration view, add it so you can connect to it.

  1. Open the TEXTML Administration perspective by clicking the TEXTML Administration shortcut on the tool bar. If the shortcut is not displayed, follow these steps:
    1. Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other
    2. Click TEXTML Administration.
    3. Click Open.
  2. In the TEXTML Administration view, click the Add Server icon: Add server icon.
    The Add Server dialog appears.

  3. In the Server field, type the name of the server where you installed the IXIA TEXTML Server component.
  4. In the Port, type the port number for the IXIA TEXTML Server instance.
    The default port number is 2500 (or 2551 if you are using SSL). Each IXIA TEXTML Server instance installed on the same server must have a unique port number.
  5. If you use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption for communications, select the Use Secure Connection checkbox. Otherwise, clear the checkbox.
    Do not select the Use Secure Connection option unless you have previously set up security certificates and a private key. SSL port, certificate paths and other details are configured through the TextmlServerCfg.xml file.
    Note: the Version option indicates the TEXTML Server version.
  6. Click OK.
The server appears in the TEXTML Administration view.
