What is AX1
AX1 Program is a Windows-based PC Program in order to evaluate the performance
of iinChip™, WIZnet’s Hardwired TCP/IP Chip.

AX1 is connected with iinChip™ Evaluation Board(EVB B/D) and TCP/IP Protocol
through Internet. First of all, connected Internet TCP/IP Protocol transmits optional
Packet or Files to iinChip™™ EVB B/D. Secondly, it checks the meeting point between
returned Packet or Files from TCP/IP Protocol and transmitted Packet or Files. Finally,
it measures the transmission and the reception speed

AX1’s functions are like below.

y TCP Protocol Test
y UDP Protocol Test

2. Installation
You can install AX1 through Software CD included in iinChip™ EVB B/D Product
Package or WIZnet ‘s homepage (http://www.wiznet.co.kr)

AX1 Program installation process is like below.

○
1 Execute “AXInstallVX.X.exe”

‘VX.X’ of the file name means the Version of AX1 Program. Until now, the latest
version is 3.1. You can get the latest version from WIZnet’s homepage.

3. How to use
3.1. System Configuration
Let’s look around Test PC installed AX1 Program and system composition of iinChip™
EVB B/D.
Test interface consists of two types like below.
y LAN (Local Area Network) interface
y WAN (Wide Area Network) interface

First of all, LAN interface is build up in the same Segment Network. You can connect
Test PC to iinChip™ EVB B/D as one-to-one directly or indirectly through HUB. In the
case of direct connection, the usage of Cross UTP Cable is essential. If you use HUB,
Direct UTP Cable is needed. <Fig 3.1>is a System composition example in LAN
interface.

<Fig 3.1> System composition example in LAN interface

The same Segment Network in LAN means the Network information between Test PC
and iinChip™ EVB B/D is same. That is to say, if Source IP Address of iinChip™ EVB
B/D is ‘192.168.0.2’, Gateway IP Address is ‘192.168.0.1’ and Subnet Mask Value is
‘255.255.255.0’, the Gateway IP Address of Test PC and Subnet Mask Value should be
same with iinChip™ EVB B/D.
In other words, the Source IP Address of iinChip™ EVB B/D is endowed with
‘192.168.0.2’, Gateway IP Address is settled to the same Segment Network with LAN
through
WAN interface means connected environment through internet in remote area, where
WAN Test PC and iinChip™ EVB B/D are not located in the same Segment Network
<Fig 3.2> is a System composition example in WAN interface.

3.2.3.2. UDP File Loopback

File Loopback to iinChip™ EVB B/D through UDP Channel. UDP Loopback File Test is
a little different from TCP Loopback File Test.

Since TCP Loopback File Test guarantee Data Flow Control, sending File process is
repeated. It is a separate issue and irrelevant to reception success or not. Otherwise,
UDP Loopback File Test does not guarantee Data Flow Control. Therefore, before
completion of sending File Data that iinChip™ EVB B/D received to AX1 (i.e. until
completion of File Data Loopback), the next File Data cannot be transmitted.
