Each Client will try to connect in a loop until the connection is made. If the
attempt to connect fails, it will wait 100ms and try again. If a connection is lost it
start trying to connect the same as during startup.
The server will disconnect on connection loss or when there is no communication
for a timeout period. It will then begin listening for a connection request from a
Client.
