software address. Alternatively a hardware RS485 address of MCX8-BRD
expander can be configured with jumpers and such address has higher priority
than software address.
Note: Each time the hardware RS485 address is modified the device must be
restarted
If jumper is not placed on JP5 contacts then addresses in range 201-215 are set.
