Richard, Yup, all that works. In the instructions it is suggested
it might be easier pre program before installation. We have about
ten programmed using the NCE cab. Getting the normal and reverse
to match up requires changing CV284 (if I remember correctly !)
which i was going to try and do using D.P. Rick

Perhaps I
misunderstand your question but if you want to set a dcc address
for the Smail my understanding is it is programmed in a similar
way to a light-It decoder.
There is a program button on the SMAIl. Press it and on my
Powercab there is an Accy button. Just after the program button
is pressed you would have 1 minute to press accy, and a number
that you want to set as a dcc address.
Here are he instructions from their web site.
THE SMAILTM COMES ALREADY SET UP WITH THE MOST POPULAR CV
SETTINGS FOR NORMAL USE. THE SMAILTM CANNOT BE PROGRAMMED ON
YOUR PROGRAMMING TRACK. IT IS ALWAYS PROGRAMMED WHILE CONNECTED
TO THE MAINLINE DCC TRACK POWER.
Procedure for
programming Accessory CVs with an NCE or other system providing
Accessory OPs Mode Programming:
1) Press the
[PROG/ESC] button on your cab.
2) Press [7] to go
to the Program Accessories menu.
3) Press [ENTER] to
access the menu.
4) Follow the menus
to program the desired CVs.
Procedure for
programming accessory CVs with a Digitrax, Lenz, MRC or other
system that DOES NOT support Accessory OPs Mode Programming:
1) Press the
programming button on the SMAILTM to enter programming mode.
2) Use your DCC
system to use locomotive OPs mode programming to the desired CV.
3) The SMAIL will
accept locomotive OPs programming commands at any locomotive
address while the LED is flashing.
4) The LED will
stop flashing after 60 seconds or when an OPs CV programming
command is received.
5) Repeat the
process for each CV you wish to program.
THE SMAILTM WILL
ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROGRAMMING OF EACH CV BY ???EXERCISING??? THE
SWITCH MACHINE (MOVING IT FROM ITS CURRENT
POSITION TO
APPROXIMATELY THE HALF WAY POINT THEN RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL
POSITION) AND LIGHTING THE LED. ONE EXCEPTION IS THE PROGRAMMING
OF CV556 WHICH WILL ONLY BRIEFLY FLASH THE LED.
