The AP20 Proxy software is the wireless bridge between the Dirac Live

software and the AP20

hardware. If a single AP20 is found by the proxy software, the IP address of the AP20 on the

network will be displayed in the upper left corner of the application. If more than one AP20 is

found, the user must choose the target AP20 by selecting from the combo box as shown below in

Figure 2. Once a target AP20 is selected, the application will look like Figure 3.

The AP proxy application can exercise the AP20 hardware to qualify wireless connectivity and the

general health of the system before the Dirac Live

software is invoked. (Testing the system from the

Proxy removes one less layer to be debugged when bringing a system up for the first time.)

Note: the AP20 can receive and act on network commands (NetCmd). The Proxy sends

NetCmds over the wireless link to the AP20. NetCmds can be used to do the following:

a. Send a 15-second noise burst to any channel.

b. Send a continuous noise burst to any channel.
