How SLNet Works

SLNet software runs on a Windows server and allows multiple devices to connect to telnet sessions up to the amount of the SLNet license.

• SLNet seamlessly creates unique connections to your applications by running multiple copies of its SLCon executable that talks directly to your application.
• Mobile devices can receive menus to choose applications or servers.
• SLNet automatically reconnects devices that disconnect when they come back in range.
