Nodes
General
In ABC Config Tool, a node represents a single device on the network. While the gateway doesn’t fea-
ture a scanlist in the traditional sense, all nodes, and their transactions, will be processed in the order
they have been defined in the ABC Config Tool.
The maximum number of nodes that can be created in the ABC Config Tool is 31.
