11. TESTING AND VERIFICATION
There are several ways to test your adapter on vxWorks, Linux and Windows
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.
