End of Line Resistor: Termination is only needed when running at
bus at very high speed over long distances.
The speed of the bus and the cable distance determine whether
termination is needed. It is meant to balance the bus to minimize
the ringing that may be caused by fast signals and the inductance
of the cabling.
At 9600 baud, termination will have little or no effect on the bus.
