Assigning an ID# to your accessory motors and lights If the first AMC is 1 through 4, the second AMC would be 5 through 8.
OTC. 9 through 10
BPC 11 through 16.
Do one device at a time remove and re-install the program jumper.
AMC programming from the Lionel Website.
To operate the accessories connected to the AMC unit, you will need to assign an ID# to the
two LIGHT outputs and the two MOTOR outputs.
Keep in mind the following points:
• The components connected to MOTOR1 and MOTOR2 will share the same odd ID#.
• The components connected LIGHT1 and LIGHT2 will share the same even ID# number,
assigned automatically when you assign the ID# for the first pair (the odd ID#).
1. Remove the RUN/PROGRAM JUMPER on the side of the AMC unit.
Pull the small black connector from the terminal at the side of your AMC unit.
2. Press the ENG button (This may be The (ACC) accessory button ??)on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
3. Select an odd ID# (0-99) and enter it into the CAB-1 Remote Controller
with the numeric keypad. This will be the ID# for the MOTOR outputs.
The even ID# for the LIGHT outputs will be assigned automatically.
4. Press SET on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
When you press SET, the LED on the AMC unit will flash for one second to indicate
that the unit was programmed.
5. Replace the RUN/PROGRAM JUMPER at the side of the AMC unit.

Controlling Operating Track sections
Setting the Operating Track ID#’s
Your OTC unit will automatically assign all of the ID#’s when you assign the first. Keep in
mind that the OTC is capable of controlling up to two sections of Operating Track.
When you assign an ID# to the section of track, the remaining section will automatically be set as the following number.
If you have connected multiple OTC units to control more Operating Track sections, assign
the first unit as ID# 1, the second OTC unit as ID# 3, the third as ID# 5, and so on, increasing.
the ID# by two. This will make the two sections of Operating Track connected to the first OTC
ID#’s 1-2, the two sections of Operating Track connected to the second OTC unit ID#’s 3-4, and
the two sections of Operating Track connected to the third OTC unit numbers 5-6.
The accessories do not have to be wired to the OTC unit to assign numbers to the
terminals.
1. Remove the RUN/PROGRAM JUMPER on the side of the OTC unit.
Pull the small black connector from the terminal at the side of the OTC unit. Refer to Figure 3
for the location of the jumper.
2. Press the ACC button on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
3. Enter the ID# (1, 3, 5, etc.) on the CAB-1 Remote Controller numeric keypad.
Keep in mind that you are essentially assigning only the first ID# of the two sections of
Operating Track wired to the OTC. If you set ID# 1, you have set the two groups of terminals
as numbers 1 and 2.
4. Press SET on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
The L.E.D. illuminates for one second.
5. Replace the RUN/PROGRAM
JUMPER at side of the side of the OTC unit.
BPC programming from the Lionel website.
Setting the BPC to control either four or two blocks of track
E
ach BPC is capable of controlling either two or four blocks of track. Before you assign the
individual ID#s to the blocks of track (the outputs of the BPC), you must tell each BPC
whether two or four blocks will be connected.
• To control two blocks of track per BPC, set the BPC to ID 99.
• To control four blocks of track per BPC, set the BPC to ID 98.
ID 98 is the factory default setting.
1. Remove the jumper from the side of the BPC unit. Refer to Figure 3 on
page 8 for the location of the jumper.
2. Press the ACC button on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
3. Using the numeric keys on the CAB-1 Remote Controller, enter 98 to
control four blocks of track OR enter 99 to control two blocks of track.
4. Press the SET button on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
The L.E.D. illuminates for one second.
5. Replace the jumper on the BPC unit.
At this point, the BPC unit is set to control the proper number of blocks through your TPC(s).
Assigning the accessory ID#'s to the blocks of track
In the previous section, you set the BPC to control either two or four blocks of track.
To do so, you entered either 98 or 99. Those numbers are reserved for setting the
number of outputs, so do not attempt to assign accessory (ACC) ID#’s 98 or 99.
Choose a number from 1 to 97.
Each block of track that is controlled by the BPC has a unique accessory (ACC) ID# that you
may assign. Keep in mind that you only need to assign the first ID# to each BPC, and the
remaining blocks will automatically be assigned the next consecutive ID#'s.
If you are using multiple BPCs, be sure to assign ID#'s that are different from the numbers
assigned to the other BPC.
It is not necessary to have the outputs connected when assigning the accessory
(ACC) numbers.
1. Remove the RUN/PROGRAM jumper on the side of the BPC unit.
You should assign ID#'s to only one BPC at a time. Remove the jumper only from
the BPC that you are setting.
Pull the small black connector out from the terminal at the side of the BPC unit. Refer to
Figure 3 for the location of the jumper.
2. Press the ACC button on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
3. Enter the ID# into the CAB-1 Remote Controller with the numeric keypad.
Keep in mind that you are assigning all of the ID#'s when you enter the
first. For example, if you enter ID# 5 and you have four blocks, the ID#'s
will be 5, 6, 7, and 8.
When assigning ID#'s to the BPC, you only need to assign the first ID#. The
remaining ID#'s are automatically assigned.
• When using two blocks of track (ID 99), ID#'s are automatically assigned in pairs. For
example, if you assign accessory ID# 3, the remaining ID# is 4.
• When using four block of track (ID 98) the three
remaining ID#'s are automatically assigned. For example,
if you assign ID# 5 to the first block, the remaining blocks
will be ID#'s 6, 7, and 8.
4. Press SET on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
The L.E.D. illuminates for one second.
5. Replace the RUN/PROGRAM jumper at the
side of the BPC unit.
