Switches set to “10” through “FE” hex assign unicast bundles.
Switches set to “01” through “0F” hex assign multicast bundles.
Switch settings “00” and “FF” hex are reserved for special functions.
“FF” hex puts the unit into utility mode for programming and also forces software kill.
“00” hex disables a transmitter, thus preventing network bandwidth consumption when no audio transmission is required.
“00” hex disables a receiver from listening to any bundles.
