Installing WCAT on the Client Computers

The following procedure installs the WCAT client application on the computers that will act as clients in the WCAT tests. You must install the WCAT client application on each computer that will run virtual clients during WCAT tests.

To install WCAT on the client computer

1.From the client computer, use Windows Explorer to connect to the shared directory on the server where WCAT is installed.

2.On the client computer, click Start, select Programs, and click Command Prompt.

3.At the command prompt for drive C, type mkdir\webclient to create a new directory called \Webclient.

4.At the command prompt, type cd webclient to go to the \Webclient directory.

5.At the command prompt, type x:client where x represents the drive on the client computer that is mapped to the server directory. This command extracts the WCAT client files and copies them to client drive x.

6.Type config ControllerName ControllerIP where ControllerName is the name of the computer to run the WCAT controller software and ControllerIP is the IP address of the computer to run the WCAT controller software.

For the WCAT controller name, you can enter a NetBIOS computer name, a fully qualified DNS host name, or an IP address as shown in the following example:

config server12 111.111.111.111

The config command records the name and IP address of the controller computer in a batch file (Stcrler.bat) for later reference. If the config command is successful, the following message appears at the command prompt

Setting controller name to “ControllerName” Setting controller IP address to “ControllerIP

where ControllerName is the computer name and ControllerIP is the IP address you specified with the config command.
