TCP/IP Connection Accepted initiator

When the TCP Listen tool detects a connection, it generates a TcpConnection event. This initiator is designed to detect that connection and start a handler. See TCP/IP tools for more information on using TCP/IP tools. See Introduction to Initiators for more information on using and configuring initiators.
