Creating Installation/Update Command Blocks
Installation or update information for an ESP serial hub is delimited using the terms ESP and END.
The opening delimiter is ESP on a line by itself - this identifies the start of an installation block for
a hub. The next command must be TYPE, which indicates the ESP hub model. You may then
specify commands such as address information, logical port assignments and feature enabling/
disabling. The closing delimiter for an ESP hub installation block must be END on a line by itself.
