- The simulation can run without a DCC command station, while real-layout control uses one.
Field notes
The page divides the system into configuration, simulation, and real operation, with a shared layout connecting the stages. It says the server runs on the user's own computer and can be opened from a PC, tablet, or phone on the local network. The listed simulation options include schedules and automatic circulation; real operation is described as requiring a DCC command station.
