The first server listens on port 5012. When a client connects to this port the server
automatically outputs any messages that have been scheduled using the
‘LBMP_schedule_message’ parameters in the config.txt file. This is the same
behavior as a serial port that has been assigned the LBMP protocol.

See the LBMP ICD (see reference 4) for further details of the LBMP protocol.
The LocataLite will accept up to 16 simultaneous connections on each port. The speed
of the connection is limited by the overall speed of the Ethernet connection. An LBMP
connection over Ethernet will typically be faster than one using a serial port.

LBMP socket sessions do not persist between application restarts or LocataLite reboots.
4.10. Serial Communication
The LocataLite has two serial communications ports; both accessible via a single 5-pin
LEMO connector (see Figure 3). These ports are typically used to connect the
LocataLite to peripherals such as GPS receivers and MET stations; however they may
also be used to access measurement and network data, as well as query and set the
Ethernet configuration.

The config.txt file specifies what protocols are active on each COM port as well as
the data rate for each port. See section Error! Reference source not found. on page

Serial protocols include
NONE
No protocol selected for the port
MET
Used when the port is connected to a meteorological station.
GPS
Used when the port is connected to a GPS timing or survey receiver
LBMP
Used for LBMP query and response covering a range of
measurement and network data
measurement and network data
NMEA
Used for ASCII data output following standard NMEA conventions
