Martin,
Why will a LocoBuffer-USB not work on a 'protected' section of
the LocoNet if that is closer to your panel computer? I thought
that 'protected' and 'unprotected' just has to do with Railsync
power.

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?
Thanks,
