Ethernet Connected Hardware Tester

Abstract:
As business needs grow, the demand for more efficient, simple and cost
effective testing methods increases. A testing system, for hardware, that
allows many devices to be tested concurrently and uses automated techniques,
is one of these methods. The Ethernet provides one of the best forums for
remote access to end devices. By connecting devices to an Ethernet network,
they can all be tested using the one system. The result is that the intelligence
is centralised and the work distributed throughout the system.
The Ethernet Connected Hardware Tester is a system that allows hardware
to be tested from a remote location, using a PC. The device to be tested
is connected to a PC through the parallel port, which is running the 'server'
program. At a remote location another PC running the 'client' program tests
the hardware based on the user's requests. The Ethernet Connected Hardware
Tester is a prototype of a system that would eventually contain an embedded
server.
