Yes it just reports on IP, working condition, etc.....only on request by the network engineer from the main utility. In other words connection is by "handshake" - only one client can connect at a time (no threading is required in order to accept multiple connections). Yes you configure each client with the server ip but i guess you should be able to change the ip depending on the network it runs on. thanks for your posts thus far. Im happy to clarify more please. I'd be glad with something that works simply; not fossy.
PS. The network eng specifies which machine to connect to since all machine will be listening for connection.
