                                   Note:

  A total of 253 node address settings are available. The switches are a
  binary representation of the decimal memory addresses. SW1/8 is the
  Most Significant Bit and switch SW1/1 is the Least Significant Bit. The
  switches have the following decimal values: SW1/8=128, SW1/7=64,
  SW1/6=32, SW1/5=16, SW1/4=8, SW1/3=4, SW1/2=2, SW1/1=1. Turn off the
  switches and add the values of the switches to obtain the correct node
  address. (Off=1, On=0)

  Addresses 0, 254 and 255 are reserved and should not be used.
