Ethernet-based interfaces have the advantage that they do not require any special hardware, with very few exceptions. The interfaces simply operate via the computer's network interface.
You need the relevant license for each interface (except OPC) and activation in the dongle. For most interfaces, you can set up and use up to 64 connections per license. The number of connections can be increased via extension licenses.
