To connect to a ComBlock assembly over LAN, programming is simple:
The application has to connect to the COM-5002/5003 over TCP-IP using conventional TCP-IP socket programming.
This can be done in Java, C, C++ , etc.

There are several tricks:

a) programmers should first read the ComBlock API document in order to understand the structure of the text commands:

b) make sure that the commands end with carriage return and linefeed \r\n

c) make sure that successive commands are separated by at least 5 ms so that the ComBlock has time to process 
these commands.

An example in C language is attached.

The ComBlock Control Center java code can be made available, but it may be too confusing (large program).

If you plan to use the USB interface, a driver is available at www.comblock.com  http://www.comblock.com/download/usb20.zip
