Also what does the sentence below mean (stated as a features of this device):
"Program unique serialized ID numbers into your firmware using Serial Quick Turn Programming (SQTPSM) files."?

4.8.1 SQTP

Serial Quick Turn Programming (SQTP) allows you to program a unique serial number
into each device. This number can be used as an entry code, password or ID number.
Serialization is done by using a series of RETLW (Return Literal W) instructions, with
the serial number bytes as the literal data. To serialize, you must first generate a
serialization file, and then use that file to serialize locations in the device
microcontroller:

1. To generate an SQTP file, select
Programmer>Settings>,
click on the SQTP tab and fill in the dialog.

2. To activate serialization, select
Programmer>Load SQTP File
and choose the file.

3. To program the device, select
Programmer>Program.

Refer to Section 7.5.3 "SQTP Tab" and Section 7.6.1 "Using SQTP" for more
detailed information on SQTP programming. See Section 7.7.1 "Using Hexadecimal
Record Formats" for information on hex record formats.
