3.Socket interface support

This is a standard communications technique used on engineering workstations and similar computers. Transmission between user programs on the T2N and host machines is possible using the socket interface. There are eight sockets on an Ethernet Port and the transmission protocol (TCP/IP or UDP/IP) can be specified for each socket.

TCP/IP: Transmission control protocol/Internet protocol

UDP/IP: User datagram protocol/Internet protocol
