Yes, it can work.

It was only a small number of releases ago that Instrument Control Toolbox added the ability to act as a TCP Server. Before that, you could use the FEX contribution "tcpudpip" which has had that facility for some time.

Small note on terminology: the system that initiates the connection is called the TCP Client, and the system that is waiting around to be contacted is called the TCP Server.
