Once the protocol being used has been set, the keyboard does not require any further
addressing.
Each PTZ controlled camera connected to the system should be addressed with a
unique PTZ ID.
Typically: Camera 1 = 001, Camera 2 = 002, Camera 3 = 003, etc.
Each Symphony DVR included in the system should be addressed with a unique ID.
Typically: DVR 1 = 101, DVR 2 = 102, DVR 3 = 103 etc.
