UDP (Datagram) → UDP/Datagram Overview

The UDP/Datagram method lets you exchange UPD network packets with another computer. While most UDP based internet services like DNS or DHCP use binary formats which are not suitable for use with ZOC, there are other applications, which may make it necessary for ZOC to send or receive such packages, e.g. an upd-logger or an UDP short-message service.

To establish another IP address as a counterpart for UDP, use ZOC's Quick Connect function or create a host directory entry and provide the IP address of the other endpoint in the Connect to field, e.g. 192.168.1.10.

After you click Connect ZOC will wait for UDP packets from that address and print their contents on the screen. The port number on which ZOC does listen for these packets is configured in ZOC' UDP-Options.

Characters that you type will be sent to the other party as individual UDP packets.
