Please excuse my ignorance, but does Comfort by default 'broadcast' events such as alarms via TCP to devices 'listening' on the network?
No, Comfort will not broadcast TCP
Your device must connect to UCM/ETH on the IP address and Port which is configured in DS Manager (for eth02) or )CS manager for ETH03)
This allows the device to "listen" to the messages sent by Comfort when a zone goes open and closed, alarm happen etc as descrbed in the Serial Protocol


You will of course need a UNIVERSAL UCM with Eth03
If the device is meant to communicate using the Comfort protocol, then you must use the UCM/ETHxx.

A Universal UCM must be used when  3rd party device communicates with Comfort using the devices protocol.  The universal UCM can be programmed to send any message or string to another device

In your case, which seems to be software -based, the UCM/Eth03 seems to be more suitable since you should be able to program it to understand the comfort ptotocol
