The BDL168 settings are set as follows. There are more option switches than are published in the BDL168 manual; Stefan Trachsler's excellent "LocoNet-Checker " program finds them all and can edit them.
| sw1=t | direct home wiring. |
| sw3=c | reverse railsync polarity for transponding detect (not important with no transponding) |
| sw5=t | transponding NOT enabled |
| sw9=c | Do NOT show "occupied" when track power is off |
| sw10=t | detector 16=normal detection |
| sw11=c | do not allow to become LocoNet master |
| sw12=c | do not allow to terminate LocoNet |
| sw13=t | 5s power up delay |
| sw19=t | normal sense threshold |
| sw25=t | 16 LEDs show occupancy (we don't use them though) |
| sw26=t | LEDs would be driven by DCC (not relevant) |
| sw33=t | OPS read detect is enabled (not relevant) |
| sw36=c | ignore GPON message |
| sw37=t | standard OFF timing |
| sw38=c | Extra long release delay for sensors (prevents "chattering") |
| sw39=t | verbose mode not enabled (I don't know what this is) |
| sw40=t | don't reset factory defaults |
| sw42=c | respond to first "interrogate" request |
| sw43=t | don't disable filter for transponding (not relevant to us) |
| sw44=t | don't select extra transponding filter (not relevant to us) |
| sw45=t | send transponding messages at GPOFF (not relevant to us) |
When viewed in the LocoNet-Checker Module configuration window, a check box is ticked for that option being CLOSED. It is unticked for THROWN.
