This device creates a response message only to instruction messages that mention
its station address. A station address is expressed in one byte in a message.
This device returns a response message that includes its own station address.
The station address can be specified by C65 (station address). Note that, if
the station address is set to 0, this device does not respond even if the station
addresses match.
