Packet System Testing
Data Tests
To pass Ethernet traffic through the AS4020 system, it will be necessary to transfer data
between a Server connected to the “Traffic” Ethernet port of the AS4020 CT, and a PC
connected to an ST. To test basic functionality, the following throughput speed tests are
performed.
Test Method & Results:
Windows 2000 has a built-in FTP server. This is simple to use, free, and readily available,
therefore ideal for setting up a test system to measure AS4020 performance. However this
must be installed and activated before use. Also, some suitable test files must be added to
the FTP “home directory”, appropriately sized for transferring through the AS4020 system.
The FTP command-line client program (also included with Windows 2000) can be used for
the transfers.
The following tests assume that the FTP server has been set up, test files are available, and
that the method of measuring download speed used is as described in Annex A. The
modulation scheme in use can be found in the “ST Packet Line Classes” section of the
“Global Setup” tree, on the left hand side of the main NetSpan window.
The downloads can be automated into a batch file for ease of use
–
this way the test can be
run simply by double-clicking on the batch file, which is more convenient than downloading
“by hand”.
Equipment Required
2 PC’s with NIC cards enabled.
FTP Software (Windows FTP or use DOS prompt)
Windows 2000 Server Software
Access to the CT over the radio interface from a ST
Setting up FTP Server PC
1. Open the Control Panel (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel);
2.
Open the “Add/Remove Programs” tool;
3.
Click on the “Add/Remove Windows Components” button, found on the left side of the
window;
4.
Select “Internet Information Services (IIS)” and click on the “Details” button;
5. Make sure that the tick boxes are selected for the following subcomponents :
“Common Files”, “File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Server” and “Internet Information
Services Snap-
In”. It is not necessary to install (or uninstall) any other
subcomponents, as they are independent from the FTP Server;
6.
Click “OK” on this dialog box, and then click on the “Next >” button. Installation will
start, and may take a few minutes to complete.
Note: The Installer program will probably need to copy some files from a Windows 2000
Installation CD. If you do not have a CD, it is possible that the installation files will have been
previously copied to the hard drive of the PC. If this is the case, search the hard drive for a
directory called “i386” and Browse to this directory when prompted for a CD by the installer
wizard.If necessary fit NIC card to PC.
