Protege GX Client Software
The client software is used for the configuration and monitoring of the Protege GX system. The client
communicates with the Server using TCP/IP.
The client software only ever communicates with the Server, never directly with the Controller(s).
Configuration Changes
For configuration changes, the client software makes changes to the Protege GX database.
System Monitoring
For system monitoring, the client software requests information from the server, which in turn retrieves events
from the Protege GX Events database and directly from the Controller(s) as required.
Client Setup
Client software is usually installed on the same machine as the Protege GX Server. This allows the entire system
(including configuration and monitoring) to run on a single PC.
Client software can also be installed on as many other workstations as you like. Licensing only limits the number
of concurrent connections to the server, not the number of PCs with the software installed.
