Network Connections Widget

This widget handles network connections to OpenIGTLink servers or clients and can e.g. be used to stream video OpenIGTLink Streamer Service .

It can only handle 1 connection at a time. Select if you want this application to behave as a server or a client. Specify the ip and port you want to connect to and selected what kind of OpenIGTLink application you are connecting to. This is important as different application sends different information in the OpenIGTLink packages.
