Appendix A.2.1. Sim4100_Card Keyword
The FieldServer will accept any positive integer number including zero; however, not all
values are valid for Simplex devices. Refer to Note (1).
Many commands and output message contain system point ID fields. These fields
reflect the way a 4100 point (local, external, real, pseudo), is referred to.
There are two basic formats allowed, address format <apoint>, and symbolic format
<spoint>.
In the Simplex device the terminal ADDRESS flag is set (DEFAULT) so that <apoint> is
always used in computer messages; otherwise, the symbolic form is used. The
FieldServer cannot work with symbolic (spoint) addresses.

Legend:
<card> 4100 card, pseudos included, See note (1)
