 Optimisation of the data transmission
With the default setting "normal", a safe and sufficiently fast transmission of digital data
between the mc², the decoders and the feedbacks is guaranteed for many installations.
In the help that opens after clicking on the symbol
what is hidden behind the various terms. Basically, you should always set the default values if
you are not sure what deviating settings will do. In the following cases you should check the
settings and adjust them if necessary:
Use of Motorola decoders
Change the MM signal pause setting if

locomotives with Motorola I decoders do not react to driving and switching commands or
show a bad driving behaviour during driving operation

if function decoders for the Motorola format (e.g. in function models) do not react to digital
commands.
No use of RailCom
In this case, switch off RailCom and NOP. This switches off the RailCom gap and suppresses
the sending of NOP commands, thus increasing the speed of data transmission to the
decoders.
Control of mfx decoders
You must activate m3 (and assign an m3 address to the mfx decoders) to be able to control
them with the m3 format. Note: As soon as the m3 signal is present on the track (e.g. after
accidentally entering a locomotive address > 10,239), mfx vehicle decoders react exclusively
to m3 commands and no longer to MM and/or DCC commands.
If you prefer to control mfx decoders in DCC or MM format, you must deactivate m3.
