Network Architecture

Version 2 of the network architecture identifies devices using their unique computer ID's rather than the channel they are configured to use. This allows using only 5 channels for the whole system, which are common across all the configured devices. The default channels are shown in the diagram above. On multiplayer servers, it is highly encouraged (and necessary if there is more than one system) to not use the default channels, as having two systems on the same network will cause undesirable behavior, such as devices linking to the wrong system.

If you need help beyond this wiki, open a support discussion or ask on Discord! If you prefer videos, they can be found on my YouTube channel.
