It's like the ones that are used for selecting scsi address and such. Only that I use a decimal version, that work like a 10-way single pole switch.
So instead of one normalized connection, I have ten to choose from, for each of the two inputs. Of course this will be overridden by inserting patchcords in the jacks on the module.
In the bottom of the case I have two busses with headers for the ten signals. So to connect a module, I simply plug two ribbon cables into the headers. Of course if the output of the module is to appear on the busses, it must be connected too.
