  2. Wire an endpoint refnum wire to the reference input on the property node.

  3. Right-click the Property terminal of the Network Stream Endpoint Property Node and select Select Property from the shortcut menu to select the property you want to use.
  4. (Optional) Use the Positioning tool to resize the Network Stream Endpoint Property Node to display more than one property simultaneously.

The following figure shows an example of using the Network Stream Endpoint properties.
