[LCC] N1MM+ Distributed Wide Area Networking (notes from W5WZ)

[w5wz at w5wz.com]

There is an excellent diagram at this page for network setup:
http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-index.php?page=Network+Status+Window

=======================







For this example below, assume there will be three distributed LAN 
(local area networks) of computers running the same version of N1MM+, 
and all computers at each location will be configured for the same 
contest, category, and power settings.  We had this worked out in theory 
prior to the July 2017 IARU HF Contest where LCc was running NU1AW/5.  
However, we didn't get this worked out with enough lead time to be 
confident to avoid problems during the contest.

**Note**  The Real World IP must be STATIC
