Running the Two-Card Network Card Miniport Driver Test

  • Article

The following procedure shows how to configure the target device and development workstation for the test.

To run the Two-Card Network Card Miniport Driver Test

  1. Build an OS image with support for the network cards that you want to test.

  2. Boot the target device, and then verify that the network cards are operational.

  3. On the target device, start the Clientside.exe application.

  4. On the development workstation, open the Windows CE .NET Test Kit window. After the target device connects, find the NDIS Communications Test entry in the Windows CE .NET Test Kit 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. Do not use the Vmini network interface with this test. The Vmini interface disables your KITL connection to the Windows CE–based device.

  5. 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 Windows CE .NET Test Kit window on the development workstation, edit the command line for the NDIS Communications 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".
