+README for TestIndirectData
+Author/Contact: Jan Hauer <hauer@tkn.tu-berlin.de>
+
+Description:
+
+In this application one node takes the role of a PAN coordinator in a
+nonbeacon-enabled 802.15.4 PAN, every 3 seconds it sends a packet to a device
+using indirect transmission (i.e. the packet is buffered until it is polled by
+the device). A second node acts as the device, it switches to the pre-defined
+channel and polls the coordinator every 1 second for outstanding indirect
+transmissions.
+
+Criteria for a successful test:
+
+Assuming one coordinator and one device has been installed, the coordinator
+should briefly flash LED1 every 3 seconds. The device should briefly flash 
+LED2 every 1 second. 
+
+
+Tools: NONE
+
+Usage: 
+
+1. Install the coordinator:
+
+    $ cd coordinator; make <platform> install
+
+2. Install one (or more) devices:
+
+    $ cd device; make <platform> install
+
+You can change some of the configuration parameters in app_profile.h
+
+Known bugs/limitations:
+
+- Many TinyOS 2 platforms do not have a clock that satisfies the
+  precision/accuracy requirements of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard (e.g. 
+  62.500 Hz, +-40 ppm in the 2.4 GHz band); in this case the MAC timing 
+  is not standard compliant
