Smode Server

Smode server are server known inside a Topology . If they are online, they will be impacted by all Topology project changes.

A smode server represents an instance of Smode running or that will run on a distant machine on the same network. Each smode server are synchronised, so the modifications made on the current Project will be automatically tansmitted to every others smode server.

A smode server can be created in 2 differents ways:
