Key Concepts
Communicators
Communicators are software components that implement a specific protocol for controlling a family of
devices.
Communicators in iControl Solo are responsible for the discovery process whereby a PC or laptop detects
Miranda devices connected to its serial ports or on the LAN, and initiates services to control these devices.
A communicator is an application that handles the communications between your PC or laptop and
Densité or Imaging series frames on the network. The two types of communicators (Imaging and Densité)
are configurable services in iControl Solo.
