Remote Lightweight Client

A remote lightweight client is an IzoT Commissioning Tool computer that communicates with the
OpenLNS Server (running on a separate computer) via TCP/IP. As a remote lightweight client, the
network management, monitoring, and controlling tasks performed by IzoT Commissioning Tool are
all routed through the OpenLNS Server. This means that all network variable reads and writes are
routed through the OpenLNS Server, which can create bottlenecks in the OpenLNS Server if multiple
remote lightweight clients are monitoring and control multiple data points simultaneously. A remote
lightweight client can connect to the network without an IP-852 router.
