To answer your questions:
?
1. I assume you verified all the ID's of each Booster before installation.
Yes, I did verify the ID's of each booster by reading back CV0.
2. After installation, did you do a test you could read a CV value on each Booster?
Yes, I also read back CV 3 and CV 11 which I had also set along with CV0.
3. I am thinking you might have duplicated a ID# or one got changed.?
I don't think so - I was very deliberate in setting the ID# in CV0. To verify that I could see all the boosters, in the DR5000 application I clicked on the LocoNet B hotspot and brought up the DR5000 Loconet Properties window.? Then I selected the 'Boosters' tab. The first time I did this, and only the first time, I saw a list of 7 boosters - they were not in numeric order (probably due to the order in which they responded), but they were all there.? Subsequently when I went to the boosters tab, I would see sometimes none, sometimes 1 and sometimes 2 boosters, but never again 7, even after restarting the command station.
?
It would seem logical to me that after giving each DR5033 a unique ID# that you could then continue configuring it from a central command station as long as in the LNCV Programming tab you set the product number to DR5033 and set the Module Address to the number of the DR5033 you wanted to read CVs from or write CVs to.
?
I am wondering if anything about the modules that are configured,? in our case the DR5033s,? ?is stored in the command station, .? I did use our spare DR5000 to configure the DR5033s initially, and then the other DR5000 we plan to use to operate the layout to try to make the CV changes - the DR5000 app was always run from the same Windows laptop.? Nothing in the documentation suggests this is true - I will see if I can do some testing when I am at the club to see if this is true.
?
I am quite certain we will figure this out - either we can or cannot configure CVs from a central spot.? Then we can work with the Digikeijs product team make changes to either software or documentation.
?
Thanks for the fast response.

Thanks.
