The purpose of the Keypad Unit ID # is to enable specific keypads to be addressed via RS-232 communications.Thus you could have a keypad in the Kitchen send a special B&K IR command to the CT Receiver, then the CT would in turn send a spe- cific RS-232 message to each room’s keypad instructing each one to turn off the local TV in that room.

FF|255 is the default and cannot be deactivated.This is very useful, since the CT Receiver keypad status messages are sent with the FF|255 prefix.Thus, you can set a keypad’s ID# to enable RS-232 Macros to be sent to a specific key- pad, but the keypad will still respond to the normal keypad status messages sent by the receiver whenever a zone...
