The following screens are available should a need arise to change any of the factory
settings. There is probably no reason to ever change these settings. If you get things
REALLY messed up you can reset the system to original factory settings (see
paragraph above).
NUMBER OF STOP PACKETS (default is 8)
This adjusts how many times a stop command is sent to the Loco. If you have a
large layout or run more than about 40 different locomotives in a session we
recommend setting this to 8. This will automatically purge non-necessary speed 0
commands from being sent to the track increasing system response to throttle
commands.

If set to zero all speed 0 commands will continue to be circulated for every
locomotive that has been controlled (but now is stopped) since the system was last
turned on. Factory default is 8. Press ENTER to skip setting this parameter.
NUMBER OF TEMP PACKETS (default is 4)
This adjusts the number of Function control commands that are sent when a
Function control button is pressed. Factory default is 5. Press ENTER to skip setting
this parameter.
