MMC ID
You can set an MMC ID for the 788. This ID can be
used to distinguish it from other units in the control
chain, and to receive messages which are intended
only for it.
Alternatively, you can select a “universal” mode
which means that the 788 will respond to all MMC
commands received over the system.
