Running the Two-Card Network Card Miniport Driver Test (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The tested card should be connected to an isolated network with no other network traffic. The test can run on a network segment with traffic but the test is likely to interfere with other network traffic.
The following procedure shows how to configure the target device and development workstation for the test**, after having built a run-time image with support for the network cards that you want to test**.
Note
Do not use the Vmini network interface with this test. Running the test over the Vmini interface disables the KITL connection between the development workstation and the Windows Embedded CE–based device.
To run the Two-Card Network Card Miniport Driver Test
Boot the target device, and then verify that the network cards are operational.
On the target device, start the Clientside.exe application.
On the development workstation, open the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Test Kit (CETK) window. After the target device connects, find the Two-Card Network Card Miniport Driver Test entry in the CETK window and edit the associated command line by specifying the device names of the network interfaces.
For example, for a PCI NE2000 card and a Xircom CE2 PCMCIA card, type -c "-t PCI\NE20001 -s XIRCOMCE21" at the end of the command line. The entire command line reads tux -o -d ndt_2c -c "-t PCI\NE20001 -s XIRCOMCE21".
Note
To determine the device names of the network interfaces, run the test without parameters. The log file generated by the test shows the device names of all network interfaces recognized by the system.
Start tests for the target device.
You can run the two-card test in a scenario that includes two target devices. In such a scenario, each target device has one network card for testing and one network card for support. The network cards for testing are connected to an isolated test network.
After setting up the hardware, In the CETK window on the development workstation, edit the command line for the Two-Card Network Card Miniport Driver Test entry. Specify the name of the network card for support in the form Card_name@IP_address. For example, for a PCI NE2000 card and a supporting Xircom CE2 PCMCIA card with IP address 1.2.3.4, type -c "-t PCI\NE20001 -s XIRCOMCE21@1.2.3.4" at the end of the command line. The entire command line reads tux -o -d ndt_2c -c "-t PCI\NE20001 -s XIRCOMCE21@1.2.3.4".
