Setting up the Kramer Audio Matrix Part 1

I managed to pick up a 16x16 audio matrix switcher (VS-2216) from ebay for pretty cheap. But now we need a way of controlling it! It has a RS232 interface which should be pretty simple to interface with. The protocol for all (as far as I am aware) Kramer products
