How to use TCP Sender with MLLP Transmission.

Hi,

I am using Mirth Connect 3.1

I have created a sample channel that reads sample hl7 file using file reader and Send it to MLLP sender (Using TCP Sender as Destination).

Under MLLP - There are starting hex & ending hex character.

I have put those as it is.

i.e. Starting Hex - 0x0B

Ending Hex - 0x1C0D.



Inbound & Outbound data types are - HL7 v2.x



The Sample message which I am transmitting is

MSH^~\&199809091533ORU^R01856369D2.2

PID139385000343456

ORC123112312RAD19980909



While running the channel, I am getting error as,



TCP Sender error

This shows the message is not in proper format with starting and ending Hex.

How to manually add those frame characters along with the message to successfully run this channel?

Please Help me on this...





Thanks....
