• Host Link FINS: Always set the unit address of the serial port.
C+3 bits 08 to 15 (Remote destination node address)
• CompoWay/F, Modbus
• With routing tables that treat serial communications path as a network:
00 hex (indicates local PC communications)
• Without routing tables that treat serial communications path as a net-
work: Node address for specifying the actual remote PC
• Host Link FINS
