The device address is the address of the specific device that is designated to receive or
respond to a transmitted command.
When using the KP-10 external keypad, the global address "*" is used to create a string
output response displayed on the external keypad. This KP-10 global address causes the
accessed device to respond, regardless of its specific address.
Do not confuse the KP-10 global address (*) with the global address of zero referred to
in the M&C System Monitor Software User's Guide. The zero global address causes
the accessed device to accept commands without responding.
