38 Module 123: Protege GX System Architecture | Network Architecture
Network Architecture
The Protege GX Server uses TCP/IP on an Ethernet network to communicate with Protege GX Controllers.
The Server sends configuration changes, control commands, status requests and firmware updates to the
Controllers
LAN
The Server receives events and status updates from the Controllers.
Scalability
The Protege GX system was built with scalability in mind and is suitable for single controller sites right through to
enterprise scale systems that span large geographical areas.
Small Sites / Single Controllers
For smaller sites, consider installing the software on a PC that is also used for other functions, or on a laptop
that is permanently housed in the same cabinet as the controller.
LAN
The example above shows a small system with a single controller and a client and server installation all on a
single PC.
