 +===== Communication with Remote Variable Servers =====
 +
 +The **ibmanager** program initiates communication with remote variable servers that are defined in the configuration file ([[en:ibmanager:ibmanager-config#<RemoteServers>|<RemoteServers>]]). It uses a TCP network connection, on which the [[en:ibprotocol:start|ibprotocol]] is defined.
 +
 +The **ibmanager** program can handle any number of remote variable servers. The handling of each server begins with issuing the "describe_all" command. This is intended to create variables of the appropriate types. Subsequently, "get_all" commands are sent, interspersed with "set" commands, if there has been a modification of a variable value belonging to a given server either in one of the logics or at the communication interface level.
