SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTENDING A SERIAL PROTOCOL TO CREATE A NETWORK IN A WELL MONITORING ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method for extending a serial protocol to create a network in a well monitoring environment, comprisingdetermining at a receiver node whether a message subnet mask ID in a received message is different from the Node Subnet Mask ID;
- andrejecting the received message if the subnet mask ID in the received message does not match the subnet mask ID for the receiver node.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for extending a serial protocol to create a network in a well monitoring environment, including determining at a receiver node whether a message subnet mask ID in a received message is different from the Node Subnet Mask ID and rejecting the received message if the subnet mask ID in the received message does not match the subnet mask ID for the receiver node. A system for extending a serial protocol to create a network in a well monitoring environment also disclosed. A data structure used by the system and method is also disclosed.

8. A system for extending a serial protocol to create a network in a well monitoring environment, the system comprising:
-
a processor in data communication with a computer readable medium; a computer program embedded in the computer readable medium containing instructions for execution by the processor, the computer program further comprising instructions to determine at a receiver node whether a message subnet mask ID in a received message is different from the Node Subnet Mask ID; and rejecting the received message if the subnet mask ID in the received message does not match the subnet mask ID for the receiver node. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
