* — The new value is applied after restart.
** — Broadcast slave ID 0 can be used to assign a new ID to device with unknown ID. When addressing by ID 0 the device shall be the only Modbus instrument in the network.
The device will not respond to Master command when addressed by ID 0.
*** — This value is dynamic and not kept in EEPROM after restart
