5. HPT SOFTWARE FUNCTIONALITY

The DOS-based HPT software runs on the USB host unit under test; it communicates with the HPT

box via the USB host controller on the motherboard. For each USB port, the software program
checks for proper operation in both full- and low-speed modes. When all tests are successful, the
software declares the USB host to be functional; any failures are reported on the computer
display screen, and saved on the hard disk as a text file.

Initially, the test program attempts to determine (using the PCI protocol) whether or not the system

under test is equipped with a USB Host Controller; if such a controller is not found, the program
aborts with an explanatory error message.

5.1 Host Test Initialization

Once a USB host controller is identified, the HPT application proceeds to:

1. send a command to reset the USB Host Controller;

2. find the HPT test device connected to the USB port(s) under test (If not found, the

program alerts the user—there may be a setup problem—and fails the test.);
