* '''Receiving needs no account.''' The receiver, timestamped receiver and control roles accept anonymous connections. Such a client skips steps 1 to 3 and needs only a host and port.
* '''Transmitting needs an account''' with the <code>game.transmit</code> [[SimTX API v24/Permissions|permission]], and a fresh [[SimTX API v24/Game tickets|game ticket]] for every connection.
* '''One TCP connection is one session.''' A client that wants two receivers, or a receiver and a transmitter, opens two connections.
