11. TESTING AND VERIFICATION
There are several ways to test your adapter on vxWorks and Linux platforms. This
section provides suggestions on how you may test and verify your installation. Before
you can proceed with any of the suggested tests, you must have previously configured
your TCP/IP protocols and interfaces on your computer. Please refer to your online help
and User Manuals for your particular system on instructions on setting up your TCP/IP
environment.
ICMP Ping. Ping is a simple verification method and it very useful for verification of
cabling, adapter configuration and system configuration of the TCP/IP protocol
software. You can also specify a “fast ping” and larger message sizes in order to
more effectively test the protocols and adapter interface.
FTP File Transfer. FTP is also an available method for testing your installation. FTP
allows you to test by transferring files of different sizes. Using large file transfers is a
good way to test medium transfer rates through the protocol stack.
HTTP Web Browsing. Is a good means of testing the protocols and interface to the
adapter.
Telnet. Using Telnet you can log into another system and invoke commands to send
a receive data. You can also test multiple connections within a single window by
repetitively Telnet’ing back and forth between multiple systems.
Windows Explorer. In a Windows environment, you can also use the Windows
explorer to access files on other systems within your Workgroup or Domain.
Blaster / blastee can be used to perform TCP throughput tests between VxWorks,
Linux and Windows platforms. These test programs are included on the OEM
developer CD.
Internal loopback: The vxWorks and Linux drivers can be placed into internal
loopback for a full-speed raw driver and controller throughput test. This is very useful
for getting a baseline throughput measurement and also for verifying the robustness
of the controller and driver in your system.
