+
+=head2 Introduction
+
+A C32 plug-in that provides serial port emulation over a TCP socket. The socket can be configured to either actively connect to its TCP peer, or to passively listen for a connection from the peer.
+
+=head2 Configuration
+
+Configuration of the ports is done via the Central Repository file 102836da.txt. This is expected to contain the following key space:
+
+ Bits	 Supported Values    Meaning
+
+ 31-24	 0                   Port record. Port fields assigned as follows:
+ 23-16   0                   Socket mode (type int, 0 - active, 1 - passive)
+         1                   Protocol family (type int)
+         2                   Protocol (type int)
+         3                   IP address (type string in valid form to be handled by TInetAddr::Input)
+         4                   Port (type int, the port to connect to in active mode or the port to
+                             listen on in passive mode)
+ 15-0    0-65535             C32 unit value
+
+For example:
+
+ # Port 0
+ 0x00000000	int	0		# Active socket.
+ 0x00010000	int	0x0800		# KAfInet.
+ 0x00020000	int	6		# KProtocolInetTcp.
+ 0x00030000	string	127.0.0.1	# IP address.
+ 0x00040000	int	3030		# Port.
+
+ # Port 1
+ 0x00000001	int	0		# Active socket.
+ 0x00010001	int	0x0800		# KAfInet.
+ 0x00020001	int	6		# KProtocolInetTcp.
+ 0x00030001	string	172.16.0.2	# IP address.
+ 0x00040001	int	3030		# Port.
+
+
+Note, the Central Repository file can be written to by any process with C<WriteDeviceData> capability. It is therefore possible to dynamically add new, and alter existing port configurations.
