Jay,
Like I mentioned in the other post, just don¡¯t click on the ¡°Boosters¡± tab and you should be fine to program the as they are. The LNWI won¡¯t cause any issues.

Re: Configuring DR5033 (booster)

Re: Configuring DR5033 (booster)
Are there any other loconet devices e.g DR5013, DR5088RC, etc that have been programmed with similar addresses?
All LocoNet IDs need to be unique across the entire LocoNet

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.

Re: USB Opto-Isolator Converter
If you are using the DR5088RC with a network connected command station e.g. Z21 then the opto-isolators are not required for single modules, they would be required to connect multiple DR5088RC to the

The DR5088RC unit has a warning about not plugging a USB cable into the unit unless you disconnect the DCC power first. Most other modules do not have this warning.

Re: DR5000 not recognizing loco on programming track
Hello Andi
What voltage have you got set on the power supply? If 19 or over the program track does not work. This is a safety function built in. Put lower voltage and it will work.

IMHO there are quite a few options that should be set differently on the DR5033 to make it more user friendly ¡®out of the box¡¯ - you may recall the issues about trying to stop it forwarding

I had two boosters and the DR5013! No wonder I was pulling my hair out! Out of interest why do they ship them with auto reverse switched on I wonder. If I¡¯d realised earlier I¡¯d have saved a

Glad to hear you got it going!
Yes, it is important to turn off the Auto Reversing in the DR5033 unless you actually need it.? And if you do need it, make sure any adjoining power districts
