SETUP COMMAND STATION
(Shortcut = PROG 5)
This allows the operator to view the Command Station’s version number and set various
system (not decoder) parameters. If you press “28882” at the “SET CMD STATION”
prompt the command station will be reset to all original factory settings.

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
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
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.
