5. Nodes
5.1 General
In ACM, a node represents a single device on the network. Although the gateway does not feature a scan
list in the traditional sense, all nodes and their transactions will be processed in the order they were de-
fined in ACM.
The maximum number of nodes that can be created in ACM is 31.
