Using Platform Manager, you can download to a target device the appropriate Clientside.exe file for the CPU. You can specify whether the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Test Kit (CETK) uses Platform Manager or Winsock to communicate with the target device after Platform Manager downloads Clientside.exe.

Alternately, you can connect the CETK to a target device manually. For information about manually establishing a connection, see Running the CETK Tool without the CETK Client in the Run-Time Image.
