   Yes the comm. protocol dll should also be loaded into the client. There are two ways to start a client from PS:

   • Right before you access Global.CloudStorage or anything that initializes a connection, set TrinityConfig.CurrentRunningMode = RunningMode.Client; -- this is the classical way of setting up a client. Also, if you have FanoutSearch, the module has an option to force initialization as a client.
   • A more modern approach is to use the GraphEngine.Client packages. It's still WIP but we're able to do something like TrinityClient client = new TrinityClient("trinity://127.0.0.1:5304"); client.RegisterCommunicationModlue<FanoutSearchModule>(); client.Start(); which is symmetrical with what you do with a server. This will also allow setting up authentication & support for other transports, e.g. grpc.

   Ok, what i managed to do so far is the following.

   1. declared a comm. module by describing in TSL + protocol definitions

   module SimpleServerCommunicationModule
   {
   	protocol AddSimpleNodeProtocol;
   	protocol GetSimpleNodeProtocol;
   }
   

   2. created a simple comm module implementation
   3. Imported the comm. module to a server side like this

       public class SimpleServer
       {
           public void Start()
           {
               TrinityServer srv = new TrinityServer();
               srv.RegisterCommunicationModule<TrinityClientModule>();
               srv.RegisterCommunicationModule<SimpleCommunicationModule.SimpleCommunicationModule>();
               srv.Start();
           }
       }

   4. imported the comm. module to a client side

               TrinityClient cl = new TrinityClient("localhost:5304");
               cl.RegisterCommunicationModule<SimpleCommunicationModule.SimpleCommunicationModule>();
   
               cl.Start();

   So it seems i now able to connect. But is this a correct way? Will it change?

   But i did not try to put any data into the server yet :). Will try soon.
