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
