Match the communications specifications of the E5@C and the host. When using a 1:N connection,
set the same communications specifications in all of the Units. Each Communications Unit must
have a unique unit number.
This section explains how to set the E5@C's communications specifications. For details on the host,
refer to the user's manual provided with the host.
