Yes. Beginning with firmware revision 6.03.05, the PNA has built-in Sockets. If you have an older firmware revision, a third party has developed a socket server utility for the PNA (and other products.) Using a socket server makes it much easier to connect to the PNA, but it bypasses all of the security of DCOM. In many cases however, this may not be an issue.
