To change to an 8 address stack, change OPSW11 to closed.

10.0 Locomotive Direction Control
Move the
Direction Control Lever
to
FOrWarD
or
reverSe
to change the
direction of the loco address running on the throttle. To determine the direction
of a loco that is not moving, simply look at the position of the lever. You can
move the lever quickly past the
BraKe
position with no adverse effects
.
If you change direction while a loco is moving it will slow down to 0 speed
and then speed up to the commanded speed according to the decoder’s pro-
grammed CV values for deceleration and acceleration.
11.0 Shutting Down the System
When you are finished with your session, you should shut down the DCS51 by
turning off power to the system.

“Po”
followed by
two characters, the
Po
means power off, the two characters indicate which
software version is installed in the unit. The display will automatically
revert to showing the last loco address selected on the throttle but since
track power is now off, it will not run the layout until you turn on track
power again.
3. Unplug the PS314 power supply from the wall outlet.
When power is restored to the DCS51, it will “wake up” with all of the settings
as they were left when powered down. The power to the command station can
be left on all the time if desired.
