• Refer to the Kahuna User Instruction Manual for further details on setting up
the port protocols and tally protocol parameters (see
https://kahuna.snellgroup.com/kahunaclub/kahunacare/docu

).
• Although it is possible to define “user configuration” source names on the
Kahuna switcher, these are not transmitted over the serial tally interface.
The switcher only transmits the “engineering configuration” source names.
