Bob and Peter:
I hope this makes sense and is useful. If you would like something else let me know.

Test bed, Digitrax  DCS100, DT400, JMRI 2.99. 4, Decoder Soundtraxx 'LL110lc' Address 346 in speed stps 28/128 mode, NCE DCC Packet Analyzer

With OpSw 21, 22 and 23 T, all slots cleared on load of JMRI. On restart of JMRI, after slot information has been read, set the address on a JMRI throttle to 346 displaying speed steps, cause the following. 
Slot monitor show slot 1, E-stop, Address =346, speed=0, Status =128 step, Use=In Use.

Set address in JMRI throttle

Nothing on Loconet monitor.


Conclusion at this point is that when changing the OpSW's JMRI must be restarted. Setting OpSw 21 as C with 22 and 23 T results in 14 step mode.

>From now on when OpSw's are changed I will be restarting JMRI and skipping what happens if I don't.
