1.8. Where to Go Next

This example is easily expandable to handle multiple TCP connections on a single port. The SSSSimpleSocketServerTask() task could be modified to create separate socket connection instance tasks to handle multiple telnet connections.

There are many uses for an Ethernet connection in an embedded system. A connection to the Internet can allow the addition of many powerful features for any embedded product, such as remote configurability using a web browser, or remote software upgrade for corrections or feature enhancements to a product already in the field.
