CICB-Client (C) connects to the CICB-Server (server.exe) and coordinates local banner instances (banner.exe) on the workstation.
The client.exe process communicates with the server over the configured network connection and applies banner settings for each local display. For example, a workstation with four monitors can run four banner instances, with each banner using the settings assigned to that workstation and group context.
IPv4 Reporting
The client periodically reports the operating system's IPv4 address to the server. To avoid incorrect or duplicate readings in environments with virtual NICs or multiple network adapters, administrators may use consistent interface naming and network policy to identify the preferred adapter.
The client automatically filters common virtual-adapter naming patterns such as v-, VMw, vEth, and virtual.
Memory Usage
One client instance is required per workstation. Resource usage depends on deployment configuration, enabled features, and whether the UI is actively open.
