Typical System Topology
The typical system topology includes:
- One server machine running one or more instances of the Frontline software application and one instance of the Automation Server, and
- One or more client machines running one or more client applications.
The client application is platform independent. The only requirement for the client application is that it is able to establish a TCP socket connection with the server machine in order to communicate using the valid Frontline Automation Server ASCII protocol described later in this document.
