The address field (xxx) is incremented sequentially from 001 to 256 as polls are transmitted from
the modem to the downstream modem(s). To be added to the modem’s poll list, the device must
respond to a poll after receiving its address. The Acquire function can be canceled by selecting
Abort.

The number field (yyy) indicates the total number of devices that responded to the modem’s polls
thus far. These devices have been acquired for the poll list.

Select Abort or allow the function to complete.
