Understanding BPC2 Software Configuration
Your BPC2 software configuration is a single operation that controls four distinct areas:
1. Track Addressing vs. Accessory Addressing
2. The base address/TMCC ID used to control connected track power blocks
3. The optional "restore last relay settings on power-up" mode. When selected, any track
blocks that were powered on when you last shutdown your layout will be automatically
turned on at power-up.
4. Sub-mode setting. The 8 TMCC ID choice is recommended. The 1 TMCC ID sub-mode is
reserved for future use and won't work with a Cab remote.
