Summary
A Moxie digital signage network consists of a collection of components that communicate with each other via TCP/IP. When a Moxie Player is installed on a display's computer, it also installs a supporting communication service; the Moxie Agent. By design, Moxie Agent is always running so it can respond quickly to any new instructions it receives from the server including remote updates of Moxie Player.
