The address table consists of the following elements (refer to column 
headings in Table 38):
Use Domain at Index: This number represents a pointer or reference 
to a table entry in the Domain table. For Trane devices, the value at 
index (or row) 0 will be a decimal 17.
Group Number or Subnet Address field: The function varies 
depending on the binding type. For group bindings, the group number 
is stored here. For subnet/node bindings, the subnet address is stored 
here.
Group Member at Node Address field: This varies depending on the 
binding type. The group member specifies a unique number for each 
member of a group binding.
Group Size field: This specifies the total number of members in the 
group binding.
The address table in Table 38 shows a subnet/node binding at index 0, 
which lists a device at DSN 17-1-8 as the destination. And it shows that 
the device is the second member of Group 1, which has a total of three 
members.

Designing bindings
On a LonWorks job, binding connections should be designed and 
documented just like wiring connections are designed and documented on 
shop drawings. Follow these rules, limits, and the methodology provided 
when designing bindings:
Binding rules and limits
1.
Bindings can be made only between NVs that have the same network 
variable type (SNVT or UNVT).
For example, nvoSpaceTemp is of type SNVT_temp_p and nviSpaceT-
emp is also of type SNVT_temp_p, so these two variables can be 
bound. Rover takes care of matching network variable types for you, 
but during design, this fundamental rule should be kept in mind.
2.
Unique subnet/node binding types consume an address table entry on 
the sending device only.
