I get the screen like your?first one below only it's not a Preference screen:? see my first screen photo on the left below.??
You're right....I also got?the Massoth 123 reading when I tried?to get JMRI to read a "new loco" when using a simple Soundtraxx sound car decoder on the programming track.
So, I just went to my train area, turned on my computer and?found the Windows help under?the Preference window.? Some of the?"Defaults" were on "Internal"and not all in Loconet as you show.??I have removed them all and placed them in LocoNet....IT NOW WORKS!?? Marc, you're a genius...ha, ha.? Thank you for finding out my problems.? I can now control on and off with my DCS50 and tested the CV's to make sure I could get the correct reading...OK.? I was also advised to remove the PTB100 as Soundtraxx recommends not using it for the Tsunami 2's and the Econami (which I use a lot).
What I don't know is how my computer got to this weird point to begin with.? I installed 4.10 about a month ago, but just started using it again last week in my modular club meeting.? We could not get a simple Sound Car to work and this is why.??
Thanks too to Dave and Gerry and everyone else who answered me with my requests.? Hope I can return the favors someday.
Have a good weekend guys and thanks.??

Yes I saw that information in your post.
The error reading the program track is because the Command Station is NOT reading the program track but going "INTERNAL"? and throwing you
it's default decoder ' Massoth 123...? It will do that when the PReferences are on a "Simulator" or the DEFAULTS are pointing to "INTERNAL"?
I am very surprised to see this pop up with a Locobuffer-USB...? (which I also have).
So your PREFERENCES show what ??
Defaults :
If I force PREFERENCES, DEFAULTS for the Service Programmer on to INTERNAL,? this is what I get :?

Hi Marc,
I don't have the PR3 installed nor as part of my setup.? What I have is shown below:
+ Computer make and model - HP Compaq 6220

+ JMRI version installed - 4.10
? + if you just upgraded, from which version - 4.9?(I think)
+ JAVA version installed - 1.8
+ Interface device (if any)
+ DCC system in use - Digitrax DCS50?

+ Any other DCC devices in use - Soundtraxx PTB-100 / Locobuffer - USB 2.0
+ Com port in use (if any) - COM5??
+ Baud Rate settings (if known) N/A
Up until now, my system worked fine for 3+ years and I was able to turn?the?"ON"?or?"OFF"?button on?JMRI using my DCS50 power and throttle?connection (using the Loconet), which has a "power" on/off button.? But now when I go into JMRI, the On/Off screen?shows "Unknown", and I am not able to keep?"internal" off and "Loconet" on.? Also, when I?enter?"new loco" and put an existing Soundtraxx decoder on the program track,?it reads a whole different decoder that is unknown to me.? It should read Soundtraxx instead.?
Any ideas??

John,
Seeing a report of an error where Loconet / Internal conflict without
the Digitrax PR3 present is surprising.? This Loconet versus Internal
is seen quite often when the Digitrax PR3 is selected as the interface,
and worse when selected as Standalone Programmer.
I am running JMRI 4.11.3 as well with both a Locobuffer-USB and the
Digitrax PR3 and the only time I encounter the Internal/Loconet mish-mash
is with the PR3.? One tell tale symptom? is a continually appearing
window that DEFAULTS are set wrong when we view Preferences.
So can you check your preferences and confirm the PR3 is not selected.
