Networking units
Before coupling units into a network:
Each device must be configured with a unique Unit Identifier (letter A to Z)
however in multi drop systems it could be advised to avoid using letters A-F,
KMN and P as they could appear in the data string.
Unit must be set for half duplex mode (E2 setting) see Para 8.3).
It must be configured to a tri-state polled mode M3 or M4.
