IzoT Commissioning Tool Client Types
The IzoT Commissioning Tool client type determines the location of IzoT Commissioning Tool in
relation to the OpenLNS server. IzoT Commissioning Tool supports three client types: local client,
remote full client, and remote lightweight client.
Local Client
A local client is an IzoT Commissioning Tool computer that is also running OpenLNS Server. In this
configuration, a local network interface is attached to the OpenLNS Server computer, and IzoT
Commissioning Tool uses the local network interface to communicate directly with the physical
network. The following figure demonstrates how IzoT Commissioning Tool connects to the physical
network when it is running as local client.
