Ethernet and Internet Connectivity
TCP/IP is the transport layer for the Ethernet LAN on which the STB NIP 2311
Advantys STB island resides. This network architecture enables communications
with a wide range of Ethernet TCP/IP control products, such as Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs), industrial computers, motion controllers, host computers, and
operator control stations.
