* Background info on programming accessory decoders
According to RailCommunity standard RCN-214, there are two ways of programming DCC
accessory decoders:

Basic is the most common type of programming. Unless otherwise stated in the accessory
decoder instructions, assume that "Basic" is the type of programming used for this decoder.

Extended is mainly used for programming signal decoders. Please check in the manual if
the decoder supports this type of programming.
With many Motorola accessory decoders it is possible to assign them their address by entering
a turnout address from a block of 4. To do this, they must be put into programming mode,
e.g. by attaching a jumper or pressing a button. With the mc² you can directly assign an
address to these Motorola accessory decoders when you connect them to the programming
track.
