Running the NDIS Performance Test (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
You must run the NDIS performance test both on the Windows Embedded CE powered device that you want to test and on a supporting desktop computer that the device communicates with.
Important
Do not run this test on the Vmini network interface. It is intended for an installed network card, not a virtual network interface.
To run the NDIS performance test on a desktop computer
Set up the supporting desktop computer to run the NDIS Performance Test.
For more information, see Setting Up the Supporting Desktop Computer for the NDIS Performance Test.
Navigate to the directory that you created that contains the Perf_ndis.dll file, and then run the following command, where
\Device\{GUID} is the bind name of the network interface on the supporting desktop computer:tux -o -d perf_ndis -c "-ndisd -nounbind \Device\{GUID}"
On the supporting desktop computer, the NDIS Performance Test displays its output in the command window.
To run the NDIS performance test on a device
Build a run-time image with support for the network interfaces that you want to test.
Download the run-time image to the device, and then verify that the network interfaces for the device are functional.
Connect the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Test Kit (CETK) to the device.
For information about connecting the CETK to a device, see Connecting the CETK to a Target Device by Using Platform Manager.
Run the NDIS performance test without modifying the command line to determine the device name of the network interface to test. For information about running a single CETK test, see Running CETK Tests.
The log file generated by the test shows the device names of all network interfaces recognized by the device.
In the CETK window, modify the command line for the NDIS performance test to specify the device name of the network interface to test.
For example, to test send throughput for a network interface with the device name PCI\NE20001, specify the following command line:
tux –o –d perf_ndis –c "-mode send –s PCI\NE20001"
Run the NDIS performance test.
