The number is incremented for each new unit added in the
AutroSafe configuration and carries no information except as
a unique reference.
The UnitId is very important in a situation where a VDR log event is
cross-referenced back into the Fire-Alarm System. The UnitId
information is placed in the indicator/number fields.
A UnitId example: PT12345 is laid out as
...,PT,012,345, ...
