To test the channels:

• From the Iguana Dashboard, start both of the channels.
• Send a test message to the first channel you created. If the source component for the first channel is LLP Listener, you can use the HL7 Simulator to send a test message through the channel.
• On the Dashboard, watch the Last Activity column for both of the channels. When the test message is sent through the first channel, the Last Activity date is updated for it. The converted message, in XML format, is then sent through the first channel, and the Last Activity date is updated for it.
• Check the Dashboard to ensure that no errors have occurred.
• Examine the output file to determine whether it is in the correct HL7 version 3 message format.
