AxLink Channels

Each AXLink device contains 255 channels numbered 1-255. The AxLink Channels for the thermostat
are defined in the table below. The Type column indicates who initiates the channel change. The Master

Master of state changes through channels with type FDBK. Some channels can be used for both CMD
and FDBK.
