INFO: The mute-, lock-, and crosspoint states are stored in the
matrix, all other I/O board-related settings are stored by I/O board
series. (An I/O board and its variants with Audio add-on mean the
I/O board series.) E.g. if an MX-TPS-IB had been installed previously
in a matrix and an MX-TPS-IB-A board was installed later, the
previous settings would be applied to the board.
