Programming Accessory Decoders With Cv #513; Selecting Accessory Decoders; Accessory Routes; Setting Accessory Decoder Routes (Cab #1) - MRC Prodigy Advance2 User Manual

Most accessory decoders have their own unique address (CV #513) and
some have multiple outputs (groups of 4). Accessory decoder's and loco
decoder's addresses are different, so they can be operated independently
of each other (even if the address values are the same).
Exception The MRC #AD360 Dispatch Decoder uses a short (1-127) mobile decoder
address. You can treat the MRC #AD360 as a loco decoder and use
accessory functions F1 and F2 to operate it. It is very easy to use and
program. No accessory address mapping is needed.
