<H3>Special Instructions</H3>
 <p>
 Systems capable of sending HL7v2 messages are required to run at least one connectathon test where you send the messages for that test to your partner through the HL7 Proxy.  If your system supports multiple actor/profile pairs that sends HL7v2 messages, <b>you are only required to run one test using the proxy</b>; however, you are encouraged to use the proxy more than this.  It captures and validates your messages.</p>
 <p>It will be easy to find your messages in the proxy viewer if you start your associated connectathon test (with its unique number in kudu) before you send your messages for the test.</p>
 <p>
 You can find the proxy ports for your HL7 test partners in gazelle under <b>Configurations-->All Configurations</b>
 <p>
 <p>Here is <a href="http://ihewiki.wustl.edu/wiki/index.php/How_to_use_the_HL7_Proxy_during_the_Connectahton">additional information on the HL7 Proxy.</a></p>
 <H3>Description</H3>
 <p>Choose at least one of your regular connectathon tests where you're required to send HL7v2 messages to a test partner.  Send messages to your partner via the HL7 proxy, rather than directly to their system.</p>
 
 <p>You should send at least one V2 message that your system would naturally send. For example:
  <ul>
   <li>ADT System: Send an ADT A04 message</li>
   <li>Order Placer: ORM O01</li>
   <li>Order Filler: Scheduling message that goes to Image Manager, or A08 that goes to Image Manager</li>
  </li>
 </p>
 
 <H3>Evaluation</H3>
 The connectathon monitor will look for evidence of validated messages in kudu under <b>Connectathon-->HL7 Proxy</b>.
