host the session ID is assigned to. Each host has a default six digit session ID that is located
on the bottom of the host.
You can also create your own Session ID. The Session ID must be unique because if you
have other hosts in the same building, the remotes will become confused on which host
they should send the information to. If you are using a fixed set, Session IDs only need to
be entered in once. If you switch hosts or use remotes from another set, you will need to
