TCP/IP Port Tags

The TCP/IP port tag type enables you to connect your VTS application to a series of hosts, allowing you to send and receive data across a network or over the Internet. TCP/IP port tags can also open a TCP/IP socket to emulate a serial port tag for use with serial-based I/O drivers using TCP/IP-based terminal servers.

A TCP/IP port tag may also be used to accept incoming TCP/IP socket connections if a port number is defined, but a TCP/IP address is not defined (null or invalid), thus allowing drivers to act as slaves on network connections.

The TCP/IP port tag type has the following characteristics:
