Code.
The Control port connects to the selected port and remains connected until another code
sequence is issued.
Note:
The Prefix code is sent out the selected port. The Port Select code is not sent out
the selected port because all ports close briefly upon receipt of the Prefix code.
The selected port opens during the Port Select code's stop bit time. All data
following the Port Select code is sent out the selected port including the next
Prefix code.
