Unit Address and Loop Back
To allow multiple units to be controlled from a single CPU port, the RS232 control interface is designed to allow "daisy chaining"
up to 15 units. By setting the appropriate RS232 dip switches, each unit can be given a unique address (1-15). Then the unit will
only respond to commands on the bus if its address is embedded in the command. Use the table below to set the unit address.

Note: In order to connect multiple KEEMUX units together a Matrix-Y-1 cable must be used. (See Fig. 15.) See Fig. 16 for
the pinout of the Matrix-Y-1 cable. The Matrix-Y-1 cable is available from Network Technologies Inc.
