The Core Server API contains the Network member, which provides us with the RegisterChannel method. We pass this method a string containing the name we choose for our channel, in this case we'll call our channel "networkapitest". A channel with this exact name will be registered on the Client side. | The Core Server API contains the Network member, which provides us with the <code>RegisterChannel</code> method.

We then register the ProtoContract classes that we'll be using to this channel with the <code>RegisterMessageType</code> method. | We then register the ProtoContract classes that we'll be using to this channel with the <code>RegisterMessageType</code> method. | ||
Finally, we call <code>SetMessageHandler<T></code>, which takes a delegate that will be called every time a ProtoContract of type <code>T</code> is received from a client, in this case <code>NetworkApiTestResponse</code> will be handled by <code>OnClientMessage</code> which we'll declare later. | Finally, we call <code>SetMessageHandler<T></code>, which takes a delegate that will be called every time a <code>ProtoContract</code> of type <code>T</code> is received from a client, in this case <code>NetworkApiTestResponse</code> will be handled by <code>OnClientMessage</code> which we'll declare later. | ||

The server channel gives us the BroadcastPacket method which we'll use to send out a <code>NetworkApiTestMessage</code> instance to all clients listening to the "networkapitest" channel, in this case we send "Hello World!" as the message. | The server channel gives us the <code>BroadcastPacket</code> method which we'll use to send out a <code>NetworkApiTestMessage</code> instance to all clients listening to the "networkapitest" channel, in this case we send "Hello World!" as the message. | ||
