Towfish - Edgetech 2000-CSS User Manual

6-8
The SockBlast application is used to test network throughput between the towfish and the topside
computer. This application is normally kept in C:\EdgeTech\Utilities folder on the topside unit, and
D:\EdgeTech\Utilities folder on the towfish.
Two copies must be run one on each computer. One serves as the client (topside) and the other as the
server (towfish). Since the client connects to the server, the Create Client (topside) address must be the
TCP/IP address of the server (towfish) machine, which is 192.9.0.99. The towfish Create Server address
should be 0.0.0.0.
After pressing the Create buttons to start the server and clients on their respective machines, the two
applications hook up, then the Client count on the towfish should increment from 0 to 1 and the Server
count on the topside should increment to 1 as well. This indicates that there is one connection between
the two applications
Check the Server Send Data box on the towfish. A performance in MB/second will be displayed. This
should be more than 0.35Mbyte/s.
