Winsock 2.0 Test v4 and v6 (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
The Winsock 2.0 test (v4/v6) verifies that Winsock 2.0 and the transport stacks for IPv4 and IPv6 are present on the target device. The test also assesses the functionality of an Ethernet network driver by performing a simple data transfer.
Test Prerequisites
Your device must meet the following requirements before you run this test.
The following table shows the hardware requirements for the Winsock 2.0 test (v4/v6).
Requirement |
Description |
|---|---|
Network interface card (NIC) |
NIC that is supported by the Ethernet network driver. Test cases 101 and 102 require a NIC. |
The following table shows the software requirements for the Winsock 2.0 test (v4/v6).
Requirement |
Description |
|---|---|
Tux.exe |
Tux test harness, required for executing the test |
Kato.dll |
Kato logging engine, required for logging test data |
Ws2bvt.dll |
Library that contains the test cases |
Subtests
The following table lists the subtests included in this test.
SubTest ID |
Description |
|---|---|
1 |
Verifies the presence of the IPv4 networking stack. |
2 |
Verifies the presence of the IPv6 networking stack. |
101 |
Verifies that a NIC with an IPv4 address is installed and that the network driver for the NIC has a basic level of functionality. |
102 |
Verifies that a NIC with an IPv6 address is installed and that the network driver for the NIC has a basic level of functionality. |
Setting Up the Test
The Windows Embedded Compact-based device must have a NIC card or an Ethernet controller with the proper driver loaded.
Running the Test
The Winsock 2.0 test (v4/v6) executes the tux -o -d ws2bvt command line on default execution. No other command-line parameters are available for this test.
Verifying the Test
Verifies that a NIC with an IPv6 address is installed and that the network driver for the NIC has a basic level of functionality.
Troubleshooting the Test
- For tests 1-2, ensure that the image contains the TCP/IP stack that supports IPv4 and/or IPv6.
- For tests 101-102, ensure that the NIC card and the driver are installed correctly.
