Notes
-----
First of all, note that per erratum #2030, the offsets in this whole section are wrong, it should begin (I think) at 192.  I shall use the published (incorrect) offset for illuminating this point:

I believe the byte at #237 should be 0x16 and not 0x18.  I suspect this checksum was copy-pasted from a prior instance in the example, where there were three pad bytes added to the data record for #259 (0x103).    In this instance, there is only one pad byte at #255, hence the offset here should be two less (22 or 0x16 and not 24 or 0x18): 

  2 bytes set ID
  2 bytes length
  1 byte option data
 16 bytes checksum data
  1 byte pad (at #255)

 ...totalling 22. Thanks!
