+By default, WARPLab will use built-in java routines for performing network I/O. pnet, a custom UDP mex toolbox for matlab, is also supported, but the latest version is required. pnet can offer modestly higher performance than the built-in java routines, but the usage of WARPLab is otherwise identical. If you want to use pnet, please perform the following steps:
  1. Install the updated pnet IP/UDP toolbox for MATLAB
   1. Checkout the source from [source:/PlatformSupport/pnet /PlatformSupport/pnet] (or {{{svn co http://warpproject.org/svn/WARP/PlatformSupport/pnet}}})

     * For other platforms, compile the pnet mex function
   1. Add the pnet folder to your MATLAB path. The pnet folder should contain pnet.m and th pnet.mex binary (i.e. pnet.mexw64)
-  1. Verify pnet is recognized by running {{{pnet('version');}}} on the MATLAB command line. The output should print the version number (currently 2.0.6d)

+  1. Re-run the [wiki:WARPLab7/Reference/Utility#wl_setup 'wl_setup'] function in {{{M_Code_Reference}}}. The final prompt will be to select which type of transport you want to use. If you have added a compatible, compiled pnet to your path, the script will list it as an option you can select. Note: simply re-running 'wl_setup' and selecting java is sufficient for switching back to the built-in java routines. You do not need to explicitly remove pnet from your MATLAB path.
