Unit numbers

Unit numbers are used to refer to a audio channel on a SBI. In the ICC protocol unitnumbers are coded using one or two bytes. The bit layout of the variable “unit” parameter is:

Channel on first SBI, one byte like:

  bbbbbccc

and for channels on higher SBIs two bytes like

  00000sss  bbbbbccc

where

  bbbbb is board number 1 – 26
  sss is the SBI number within the board, 0 - 7
  ccc is channel 0 – 7 with one SBI
