ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955 Admin Console as a device is added, in order to
identify one device to the system. 1 to 1,024.
MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon
adding devices, the system will automatically assign the next available number.
Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify
one component or sequence from another in row and column style. Since logical and local
numbers are not necessarily unique or consecutive; and the permission grids are displayed as
consecutive, unique numbers; MPU955 Admin Console generates these ID numbers.
