Serial Address 

To allow multiple UNIMUXs to be controlled from a single control terminal, the RS232 control interface is designed to allow "daisy 
chaining" up to 15 units.   Each unit must be assigned a unique address.     The unit address for the UNIMUX can be changed by 
pressing 

<E>

 from the System Configuration menu.   With the edit field highlighted,  press the <

Left arrow

> or <

Right 

arrow

> to change the value of the unit address.   The address range is 1-15.     For more on daisy chaining, see page 40.
