9. New event to control any xLobby system on the network by sending any command by Event Group, Event Name. To send commands remotely the xLobby machine to be controlled must have the web server started and running. Start xnet under F2 on all machines to be controlled. On the control xLobby machine create a new event by using the webserver command under commands / xLobby, then enter a server ip address, password, event group name, event name. Next create a button and add the event, you can now control 1 or more xLobby machines on your network any way you want.
