SCOM Protocol

Foreword

The Lauer SCOM Protocol is designed for remote control of Beijer Electronics
MT230 Nautic Monitor over different kind of interfaces. It is based on the SCOM
Protocol, which allows easy replacement of existing units. Besides the standard com-
mand set, the Lauer SCOM Protocol includes a rich set of special purpose commands
for extended remote controlling options. The SCOM Protocol is extended with these
special features, without affecting the compatibility.

Some of the major extensions are:

• Ethernet support by encapsulating the SCOM protocol within UDP packets.

• Special purpose command set available with the new SCOM command “LAU”.

• Extended address field functionality, which enables monitor grouping, allowing a

total count of 240 monitors in a network (15 groups, 16 monitors in each group).
