most common method.

Master Connection MODE options:
• URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other
Internet facility. In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients
attach to it).
• LISTEN sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list).
In this system, the panel acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a "Client".
