Sending TCP commands to remote computer via trigger or script

We are using VMix to stream our church services to Youtube and Facebook as well as our FM radio station.
The VMix computer and our radio automation computer clocks are synchronized.
Starting the feed to our radio automation machine is no problem.
However, since the service doesn't end at exactly the same time each week, I need a way to do the following:
When an "end credits" input starts (TransitionIn) in VMix, I need the VMix computer to send a command over our local network to a private ip address (our radio automation computer) on a user-defined TCP port that will trigger a process on that machine to play an audio "end credits" CART.
The text string I need to send over TCP is "Cart mF02" (without the quotes).
How can I get VMix to send a text string over TCP in response to a trigger?
Thank you!
Jim

Trigger calls script (ScriptStart), script does TCP send (vb.net)

Could you give me an example of what the vb.net code would look like to accomplish this task: Send the text: Cart mF02 To the IP address: 192.168.128.102 Port: 5233 Thank you!

Try something like this... Code:' Message
Dim message as String = "Cart mF02"
' Client TCP socket
Dim client As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient("192.168.128.102", 5233)
' Get a client stream for reading and writing.
Dim stream As System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream = client.GetStream()
If stream.CanWrite Then
Console.WriteLine("Can write to socket")
' Translate the passed message into ASCII and store it as a Byte array.
Dim data As [Byte]() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message)
' Send the message to the connected TcpServer
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length)
Console.WriteLine("Sent message to socket:")
Console.WriteLine(message)
Else
Console.WriteLine("Sorry. You cannot write to this NetworkStream.")
End If
