Following up on a previous thread about 'distributed' computing power...

Win 10 Acerpc (4.17.3) talking to a Win 10 NUC (4.16). The NUC is directly connected to the DCS240 and has the layout in a Layout Editor panel for dispatching (works fine). Using a Panel Editor panel on the Acer (client) to display train positions (block occupancy) for the 'audience' on the big screen. At the start of a session the Acer panel updates synchronously as trains move across the layout. About 5 minutes in the server on the NUC shows no client connected and the Panel Editor panel does not update. There seems to be no way to 'kick' the JMRI instance on the Acer to get it to update? As in it requires a restart of PanelPro and reloading the Panel to get the current state. Acer does not go into sleep mode. Server is continously running on the NUC. I cannot get the Loconet server option to work at all.

One of the comments from Bob Jacobsen was that there is really no concept of distribution with Loconet. So one solution would be to put a Locobuffer on the Acer, but where it needs to be is along a strand of UP5's on the 'unprotected' side of a LNRP.

So the second more esoteric question is what is the JMRI instance to Loconet? Probably not a command station as there can be only one - smart throttle, something non-standard...?

Other suggestions?
