class EthernetClientInterface():
    """ This class provides an interface to a client ethernet socket. This class allows the user to send data over the ethernet port in a synchronous or asynchronous manner.

    Note: In synchronous mode, the user will use SendAndWait to wait for the response. In asynchronous mode, the user will assign a handler function to ReceiveData event handler. Then responses and unsolicited messages will be sent to the users receive data handler.

    Arguments:
     Hostname (string) - DNS Name of the connection. Can be IP Address
     IPPort (int) - IP port number of the connection
     (optional) Protocol  (string) - Value for either 'TCP', 'UDP', or 'SSH'
     (optional) ServicePort  (int) - Sets the port on which to listen for response data, UDP only, zero means listen on port OS assigns
     (optional) Credentials  (tuple) - Username and password for SSH connection.

    Parameters:
    Credentials - Returns (tuple, bool) - Username and password for SSH connection.

        >Note:
        > returns tuple: ('username', 'password') if provided otherwise None.
        > only applies when protocol 'SSH' is used.
    Hostname - Returns (string) - server Host name
    IPAddress - Returns (string) - server IP Address
    IPPort - Returns (int) - IP port number of the connection
    Protocol - Returns (string) - Value for either ’TCP’, ’UDP’, 'SSH' connection.
    ServicePort - Returns (int) - the port on which the socket is listening for response data

    Events:
    Connected - (Event) Triggers when socket connection is established.
    Disconnected - (Event) Triggers when the socket connection is broken
    ReceiveData - (Event) Receive Data event handler used for asynchronous transactions. The callback takes two arguments. The first one is the EthernetClientInterface instance triggering the event and the second one is a bytes string.
        >Note:
        > The maximum amount of data per ReceiveData event that will be passed into the handler is 1024 bytes. For payloads greater than 1024 bytes, multiple events will be triggered.
        > When UDP protocol is used, the data will be truncated to 1024 bytes.
