# Testing the RTSP Proxy

After compiling the RTSP binary file, you'll want to run a few simple tests to ensure that the proxy is working correctly. Use the following procedure as a model, or template, for performing basic functionality testing.

#### To test the basic functionality of the RTSP proxy:

1. In a command window, go to the `ortspproxy_2_0\rtspproxy` directory.

2. Start the RTSP proxy in debug mode:

- In Windows, type `rtspproxy.exe` -d

- In UNIX, type `rtspproxy` -d

1. Open an RTSP client on a different computer.

2. Configure the client computer to use the RTSP proxy you just built by pointing it to the IP address or host name of the computer on which the proxy is running.

3. Play a multimedia clip from your RTSP server.

4. Verify that the clip plays successfully on the client computer.

5. On the computer on which the proxy is installed, look for a message similar to the following:

   `Setup request for url: rtsp://example.com:554/video.rm/streamid=0`

   `Setup response: server session = '573084-2', transport = 'x-real-rdt/udp;client_port=6972;server_port=13138'`

   `Setup request for url: rtsp://example.com:554/video.rm/streamid=1`

   `Setup response: server session = '573084-2', transport = 'x-real-rdt/udp;client_port=6972;server_port=13138'`

   `We are playing!!!`
