Really appreciate the clear & detailed inputs provided!

Given that mine is a 4¡¯ x 8¡¯ layout, I assume I don¡¯t need to go the LocoNet way. In fact, I don¡¯t know much about LocoNet & have been busy working on the JMRI learning curve, enjoying my multiple trains with Decoder Pro & Panel Pro with SPROG 3!
?
That being said, would be open to advice, if LocoNet makes for an enhanced experience. Also, is LocoNet a must if 2 DS64¡¯s are going to be used (to set the Board ID¡¯s)? Given that I am comfortable with computers and such, which LocoNet product would be best suitable to begin that journey, if I don¡¯t intend using a Digitrax throttle/ command station.

Getting back to configuring the DS64 OpSw settings via JMRI ¨C Does it mean that once it¡¯s in programming mode by pressing the hardware OPS button on it, then on Decoder Pro turnout control screen, I need to key in 115:12 in the address box (in case I want to program the OpSw12) and then click on ¡°Thrown¡± or ¡°Close¡± to change that parameter??
?
Does my LocoNet non-availability limitation also mean that the OpSw settings status cannot be read back & hence I will never know the actual OpSw values on the DS64?
?
Thanks & regards,
