If there are slaves for which the node address is not set (i.e., for which the present value is 0) or if there is more than one slave with the same node address (indicated by ), change the set values of the slave addresses, and then click the Write Button. (If the correct node addresses are set for all of the slaves, click the Cancel Button.)
