OpenEMR connection to CONNECT gateway

I am trying to interface OpenEMR to a CONNECT gateway in order to execute patient discovery and document retrieval for test patients between remote EHRs in a simulated NwHIN network.
I am new to OpenEMR. Through some investigation, I read that Mirth connect was required. I would like verification of the use of Mirth or if there is another way.

Thanks

yes, the current method is direct, the latest discussion here:

maybe mirth could receive the xdr and translate to an hl7 that could be imported thru the existing hl7 import code?
