Establishing the Correct Test Environment for Wi-Fi Authentication Tests (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The following table describes the steps that are necessary to create an appropriate test environment for running the Wi-Fi Authentication tests and, thus, validate the Wi-Fi functionality of the device.
Procedure
To set up the test environment
Confirm that you have carefully read the list of all the prerequisites and that all of the hardware and software requirements are met. For more information, see Prerequisites for the Wi-Fi Authentication Tests.
Set up the authorization servers on a computer that is running the Windows Server 2003 operating system.For more information, see How To Set Up Authentication Servers on Windows Server 2003.
Create a private network by connecting the access points and devices being tested to the computer hosting the servers.
Important
To ensure that all devices on your test network have valid and unique IP addresses, the test network must be isolated and private. Make sure that the test network is not connected to the corporate network.
Check to make sure that your private network is properly configured and that the static and dynamic IP addresses are properly assigned. For more information, see Verifying the Test Environment for Wi-Fi Authentication Tests.
After you have confirmed that your text network is set up correctly, you can begin running the Wi-Fi Authentication Test.
