• Gets the list of operational motes in the network

• Performs the OTAP function

It connects to:

• The SmartMesh IP VManager

You can run the VMgr_OTAPCommunicator.py application:

• By double-clicking on its source files at /vmanager_apps/VMgr_OTAPCommunicator.py (may require additional steps on non-windows OSes)

• By launching it in a console window (to override default options)
  
  
  

VMgr_OTAPCommunicator.py takes the following options:

where

     --verbose: Prints verbose messages to the screen

     --host: enter the IP address of the VManager instance

    --mote: List of mote(s) (separated by spaces) to be OTAPed

     --delay: interpacket delay. The default is 1 second
