Introduction

The University of New HampshireEs InterOperability Laboratory AUNHIOLB is an instit'tion $esi%ne$ to improve

the interoperability of stan$ar$s base$ pro$'"ts by provi$in% an environment where a pro$'"t "an be teste$ a%ainst

Test 'etup

The set'p se"tion $es"ribes in $etail the "onfi%'ration of the test environment an$ in"l'$es a blo"# $ia%ram for

the test )mall "han%es in the "onfi%'ration sho'l$ be in"l'$e$ in the test pro"e$'re
