[UIDn]
n= Unit ID number. It could be any number from 1 to 9.
This command sets the unit ID number. A total of up to 10 unit ID’s can be assigned to HOMERUN modules, using ASCII code, for individual control of each unit. Additional units can be controlled using hex codes.
If n=1, the switcher listens to all commands. If n=0, the switcher does not listen to any command.
Table 3 provides the relation between the Unit ID number and the LED’s on the back panel of the unit. In other words, once an ID number is assigned to any module through an

When independent switching of various modules is required first issue the [UID1] command to make all modules respond to common commands. Then issue different [UIDn] commands to each group of switchers to communicate with particular modules. The [UIDn] command only should be issued once prior to communicating with the individual modules.
[UIDnE]
n = Unit ID number 2 to 9
This command selects the exclusive switcher level to control. The level is controlled based on the Unit ID
