Bus
Command Station dependent value. (Selectrix, BiDiB, CBUS, …)
Address
The decoder address which range depends on the decoder type and underlying Command Station.
Interface ID
Only set this to the IID you set in the rocrail.ini if your setup has more than one CS connected.
Protocol
Some command stations do support multiple protocols; Check the user manual for details.
Protocol version
If the Command Station cannot determine the decoder type itself you must specify the version as listed here ddx-en or found in the SRCP description. Most systems do not use this parameter because it is set directly in the CS or it does only support one version.
Decoder steps
Some Command Stations need this value to allow function commands.
