Important: A computer on Data Highway Plus cannot address a node on
a remote link such as Data Highway II.

When you use local addressing to address a Data Highway Plus node, you
can only use Addresses 01 through 20 (octal) on the Data Highway Plus
link.

When you use local addressing, you use the LINK, NODE, and USER
fields to specify the node address.

The LINK value is always zero for local commands.
