Setting an Option Switch

This proces can be done using the following methods:

1. Throttle
2. JMRI

Throttle

1. Set the MODE switch to center OP position. The PWR and PROG LEDs will pulse alternately.
2. Connect a LocoNet throttle and select its switch control mode.
3. Select the switch (Option Switch) number, then set T/Thrown or C/closed to modify the OPSW as needed.
4. Return MODE switch to RUN position when complete

JMRI

As the DCS210+ features a USB port, it can be connected directly to a computer running JMRI software.

JMRI can configure a command station and offers two methods. Consult the JMRI help pages for details.
