An optical waveguide device production method which ensures that a receptacle structure can be easily and highly accurately produced in a single step, an optical waveguide device produced by the method, and an optical waveguide connection structure to be used for the optical waveguide device. A global data store is synchronized with real-time communication data, such as presence, status, unread messages, and unread notifications, from each applicationprovider. The fuses may be active or passive fuses and are preferably self-resetting, repairable, andor replaceable. A translator serves to effect automatic correlation of data between the ATPG domain and the ATE domain to allow data communication between the tester and the tool.
