The Wiznet cards and most other TCP/Serial adaptors can also be run in client mode. Meaning they will make a connection to the pre-programmed server address. Use the above mentioned Wiznet Configurator to setup the serial port settings the same as in the Connect Via TCP example, but in this case set the networking options to connect as a Client. You will also have to enter the IP address of your XTension machine and the port that you are running your server on.

Even though the popup says TCP Connections, you need to set the connection type in the Wiznet configuration to UDP.
 When running a server, any reasonable number of max sonar devices can connect to the plugin. When a client first connects XTension will look up it’s MAC address and create a new Distance unit for you automatically and use the MAC address as the Address of the unit so that they will all be unique. In this way you can support multiple devices with a single interface instance.
