If you put in a new address you will see the following LCD screen asking if you wish to
make this address the primary address. Only one address can be the primary address –
the long or the short. You cannot have both active at the same time. The decoder will
not allow it.
The long address is displayed next. If you wish to change it type in the new address and
press ENTER. If you wish to keep it unmodified just press ENTER to skip to continue
programming.

NOTES ON ADDRESSES:
The short address is available for use on layouts using short addresses. If the short
address is to be the primary address you should use the last two digits of the loco
number. Short addresses range from 1 to 127.
For the long address, any number from 0 through 9999 can be used. You need to
distinguish long addresses from short when assigning an address below 128 by entering
a zero as the first character.
Example: short address = 64
long address (below 128) = 064
We recommend that if a long address is used, leave the short address at 3. This has two
advantages. One, if the long address is forgotten, the short address is always 3. Two,
advanced consist addresses share the same 1 to 127 address range available to the
short addresses. Using the same address for an Advanced Consist and another existing
loco will cause unpredictable results.
SETTING UP BASIC DECODER CONFIGURATION (CV29)
This option will setup various decoder configuration parameters. There are six of these
parameters squeezed into one CV. Press 1 if you want to set these parameters. Any
other key will skip to Motor Control Setup.
