      'nameidx'      :string (RO)

      'idx'      :integer (RO)
         The unique database index (in the zone) for this unit.
         This provides a smart alternative to check for zoneidx
         and nameidx. Thus if (u1.idx == u2.idx) then
         (u1.nameidx == u2.nameidx) and (u1.zoneidx == u2.zoneidx).
         Be warned, this value change between each reboot, so do not
         count on it for purposes of saving.
      'zone'         :string (RO)
