Accept TCP/IP
In conjunction with RS232 serial communication, TCP/IP allows the
user to remotely operate the Mantis by sending operation commands
through a network or locally using an external PC or show controller,
see External Control Commands on page 131).
Accept UDP
Enable or disable the User Datagram Protocol. As with Accept TCP/IP
caution is necessary in using this protocol.
For security reasons, “Accept TCP/IP” is factory defaulted to “No”.
Be aware that if you decide to use this feature over a large network
(namely the Internet), the potential for outside intervention
(hacking) is greatly increased because there is literally no security
(protection) on this port. Enabling this option will open port 2180.
