The modular architecture of the software package allows its installation on one or more computers, each module having specific functions for each radio station department. So we have the DJ Console - designed for the broadcasting studio; Report & Settings - where you can modify the program settings and generate reports; Edit Record - used by the production department for loading the database; Event - which makes the commercials spots scheduling possible, used by the sells department; Network Controller - which assures the communication via-satellite between the central station and the locals ones; Network Station Server - the Network Controller’s pair, installed in the local station.

All the modules can be installed on one or more machines, each one having specific functions for the department where is installed. One possible configuration with many modules which works in a local area network (LAN) is the following:

You can notice that we have two types of computers: MAINSERVER and STATION. Every radio station must have at least one computer of MAINSERVER type (there may be more than one depending on the volume of data that must be transferred and on the radio station’s size). The other computers are called station and works in the local area network (LAN), using the resources provided by the main computer called from now on MAINSERVER.

In the extended configuration, when it is used to manage a radio station network the Central Station which has the uplink will have installed the module Network Controller, and the local stations will have installed the modules Network Station Server. The way of communication in a Network Controller - Network Station Server is described in the following picture:
