Add further information to Ness Alarm Integration regarding relevant hardware setup #36078
Conversation
Adding a summary of steps that need to be taken when an IP232 module is installed on the alarm panel. While this information is available in other locations (for example the iComms manual) it is disparate and took me a while to put all the pieces together. My hope is this summary points future users in the right directions much quicker.

104-111: Overall documentation changes look good!
The new section effectively addresses the PR's objective by providing clear, concise instructions for hardware setup. The information is well-structured and properly references the official documentation. The suggested formatting and clarity improvements are minor and don't detract from the value of these additions.

Proposed change
Adding a summary of steps that need to be taken when an IP232 module is installed on the alarm panel to ensure it functions with the Ness Alarm Integration. While this information is available in other locations (for example the iComms manual) it is disparate and took me a while to put all the pieces together. My hope is this summary points future users in the right directions much quicker.
