Remote Lightweight Client
A remote lightweight client is an OpenLNS CT 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 OpenLNS CT 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.
