Don,
To amplify a little bit on what Bob has just said. The nature of LCC is that there will be no conflicts created by connecting the two systems to each other to make it into one. Because it is a peer-peer network, that extends to running multiple computers such as a Windows or Mac machine for one purpose and Linux on a Pi for experimenting or some other purpose. All messages will show up at any node that wants to use them. For example just as soon as you get some experimental Arduino talking to LCC, its functionality will be available to your 'main' system. You could build a JMRI CTC panel on one machine and do your CDI configuration with the other. The system can support both functions simultaneously on the same network bus.
If your wiring doesn't allow you to loop one network into the other easily, then use a Repeater to join the two segments. If your concern is power isolation, then place the Repeater between two Power Points. That will allow you to power down one segment without disturbing the other.
Dick :)

If messages are to show up on both, why are you trying to keep them separate? Is there some other isolation you¡¯d like to enforce?
You could write a script to listen for frames on one interface and send them to the other, and vice-versa. JMRI also has the start of work on an internal hub that¡¯s meant to combine connections but (1) it was meant for network connections, not wired ones; I¡¯m not sure whether that makes a difference and (2) as far as I know it was never completed. It might be easier for somebody to finish that than to write a new script.

I am also trying two different LCC/Openlcb buss's. The main one is RR-CIRKTS cards. The second is for testing with Raspberry PIs and Arduinos.
I would like an event to show up on both busses.
