Re: [foxboro] Conectivity between nodes

Andreas,

There's no reason this can't be an operator workstation, doesn't have to 
be completely dedicated to CSA.  Configure this as an AW, but don't 
purchase engineering tools or license for hosting.

To really save money, configure as an AP -- don't even buy the 
visualization license.
