Before installing XScreen, you must think about which machine or machines will be your Masters and which will be Buddys. If you are running the NX/iQ6 in single-show mode, you need a single Master machine. If you are running the NX/iQ6 in a dual-show mode, you will need two Master machines, one for each show.
All other machines must be installed as Buddys and these will connect to the relevant Master in order to share information for that show. The Master machine runs the database that stores past call information and the Buddys get access to that information from the Master. For this reason, the Master machine needs to always be running PhoneBOX in order to allow the Buddys to connect to it. Running the main Control Room / Studio machine as the Master is the usual arrangement.
To illustrate the point, here are a couple of typical scenarios. Firstly, the diagram below shows a system running in single-show mode with a couple of call screeners.
