The following parameters are set here during first commissioning:
• "HT 8 individual mode" (yes/no)
This is only visible with HT 8, and is used to switch between Auto Mode and Individual
Mode.
You do not have to make settings for an HT 8 in Auto Mode because the name is
generated automatically: ("DIP<n>") MCP address and TCU index are derived from the DIP
setting ("DIP<n>").
