Test Procedures
6.1
Introduction
The following sections describe several tests that will verify the proper operation of the DA16200/600
and demonstrates its various features.
The tests include:
●
Ping Test
– Verifys the connection between the DA16200/600 and another device
connected to the same AP
●
Throughput Test
– Demonstrates the Wi-Fi performance of the DA16200/600
●
DPM Test
– Demonstrates the various power modes of the DA16200/600
●
Current Test
– Demonstrates the amount of power used when the DA16200/600 is in
various sleep modes.

Ping Test
Ping is a standard application that is used to verify if devices exist on a network.
This test procedure will demonstrate that the DA16200/600 will respond to ping commands while in
DPM mode.
Test Setup
The ping communication test requires an access point (AP) and two stations consisting of a
DA16200 or DA16600 EVK and a laptop. The two stations must be connected to the same sub-
network AP as shown in
The DA16200 must be connected to the AP via WIFI, and the laptop must be connected to the AP
with an Ethernet cable.
After the DA16200/600 is configured it will go directly into DPM Sleep mode (sleep 3) and will only
wake up from sleep mode when unicast packets are received.
In this test, a ping application which runs on the laptop acts as a network peer that sends a unicast
packet to the DA16200/600. This shows that when a DA16200/600 is in DPM Sleep mode, it can
successfully wake up and receive the unicast packets in real-time.
