2) Node No. setting
If more than one Reader/Writer is connected to a single host, each
Reader/Writer needs an ID number so that the host can discriminate one
Reader/Writer from another. Such an ID number is called node number.
Each Reader/Writer must be assigned a unique node number. Each
command or response includes the node number of the Reader/Writer.
Communications will not be possible if the node number is wrong.
The setting can be saved by executing the setting write command.
Use the node number setting command (NM) to set a node number.

：Communications through COM2 are possible regardless of the node
number setting.
3) Terminal resistance setting
This setting is necessary when COM1 is used as RS-485.
If more than one Reader/Writer is connected to a single host, terminal
resistance must be turned on for both the host and the Reader/Writer
connected to either end of the host in order to ensure stable operation.
The setting can be saved by executing the setting write command.
Use the terminal resistance setting command (TM) to set the terminal
resistance.
