Tcpip Module ini settings
The TCP/IP network plugin stores its settings in the tcpip.ini file in the plugins home folder. The file contains the [server] section, which contains the network settings for the Server Module, and the [client] section containing the Administrator Module settings. The default INI file included in the program installation contains the following settings:

[Server]
Port = 4000
NoDelay = 1
[Client]
Host = localhost
Port = 4000
NoDelay = 1

·The Host option defines the default TCP/IP address the Administrator Module will suggest to the user when creating a new connection in the Available Connections dialog and default security settings. This INI file option can be written in one of the following forms: host_address -Default TCP/IP address in dotted or literal notation. Only non-secure incoming connections are allowed if this option is written in this form.host_address;secureavail - Default TCP/IP address in dotted or literal notation, followed by the secureavail reserved word. This form instructs the Administrator Module to use a secure connection if it is supported by the server and a non-secure connection otherwise.host_address;secureonly - Default TCP/IP address in dotted or literal notation, followed by the secureonly reserved word. This form instructs the Administrator Module to use only a secure connection when connecting to the remote server  
·The Port option specifies the default value for the TCP/IP port that will be suggested to the user when editing the network settings.  
·The NoDelay option defines whether the TCP/IP network plugin will use the Tcp Nagle algorithm or not. The Nagle algorithm performs more effective tcp packet filling, but slows down network response time. Setting this option to one helps a network application get a faster response from the remote end but can increase network traffic. It is recommended that this option should be set to one ("Do not use Nagle algorithm") except for the slower networks (e.g. modem connection).
