6 Choose the server type as Local Server and click the Connect button to start the session.
The software attempts to start the client and server on the same laptop, in such a way that any data
exchange that happens between the two actually traverses the AP - client link.
NOTE
In this process, under one of its steps the software tries to auto detect the IP of the gateway on the network or the
IP of the AP. Sometimes, when IP addresses are statically configured on the client, or due to some other reason the
detection fails, then you are prompted to enter the IP of the AP.
NOTE
Sometimes, a firewall at the access point or on the gateway can block this transfer, and a local session can fail to
start. In this case you can enforce data transfer by either disabling the problem firewall or by starting a remote AP
Performance Server session.
