   - The LAN Bridge shares a maximum of 25 simultaneous connections across any defined slots. Each TCP Client counts as 1 connection, whilst each incoming connection to TCP Server slots counts as another connection.   - The LAN Bridge shares a maximum of 25 simultaneous connections across any defined slots.

 After the changes are saved and the LAN Bridge has been reset, the last step is to change the configuration on your TCP Clients (iPads, etc) to communicate to the LAN Bridge instead of directly to the target device.\\ After the changes are saved and the LAN Bridge has been reset, the last step is to change the configuration on your TCP Clients (iPads, etc) to communicate to the LAN Bridge instead of directly to the target device.\\
 In this example, the iPads would be changed to communicate to the IP of the LAN Bridge on TCP port 10004. In this example, the iPads would be changed to communicate to the IP of the LAN Bridge on TCP port 10004.

 +Now you can have multiple devices connecting and communicating with a single TCP Server at once, bypassing and single connection limitations of the target device.
