this is probably for industrial control system where commands are routed over ethernet to an array of theese little gizmos from a centralized server. for running factories, nuclear reactors, things of that nature :D
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
