Don,
You need to start the JMRI web server: PanelPro Tools >> Start JMRI Web Server
The default port for the web server is 12080.
I believe there can be an issue with the Android version, someone else can explain that situation.

I am quite new to JMRI, and newer to using the Raspberry Pi 3B+, so this probably is a "dumb" question (I prefer "ignorant", as that can be cured!)
I've loaded and installed Steve Todd's JMRI software image on my Pi,and VPNed a LE control panel to it. The Pi runs, and displays the panel on a monitor, I've just installed Engine Driver on an Android tablet, and have it connected. A lot is working! So far, so good!
Here's where I get stuck. I'd like to be able to display the control panel on my tablet, too. Not necessarily at the same time, but it would be nice if I could switch between the panel and Engine Driver.
I haven't found the way to display the panel. I tried to find it with my tablet's web browser, while the tablet was connected to the Pi for Engine Driver at 192.168.6.1:12090. Of course, I didn't know what to search for. JMRI and control panel didn't work. The browser says it can't find a connection. What am I doing wrong, or not doing? I thought I might need to load Java and JMRI on my Android tablet, but want confirmation that's necessary, or even possible. I hope I just need to use a different port. Would someone please tell me how to do this?
Also, can more than one tablet or smart phone display the same panel at once? And, if so, can one be panned or zoomed individually, or do all of them change together?
