Net Object
The net object represents the Ethernet interface of your device. This object only specifies various parameters related to the Ethernet interface and is not responsible for sending/transmitting network data. The latter is the job of the sock object.
Here is what you can do with the net object:
• Check if the Network Interface Controller (NIC) IC is functioning properly.
• Check your device's Ethernet MAC address.
• Set the IP-address of the Ethernet Interface.
• Set default gateway IP and the netmask.
• Be notified when the Ethernet cable is plugged or unplugged and check current link status.
• Be notified when data overflow occurs in the NIC.
