This is how it works:

press the [mode] key; now, while the display still shows the next mode which would be activated in absence of further key-presses, press the digit key corresponding to the desired mode. This shall lead to the showing of a message announcing the new mode. (At which point, should you change your mind, you can still press a different digit key, etc.) Depending on whether a particular Intellibox features the memory mode or not (i.e., routes), up to 4 modes are defined. This is how they are numbered: Intellibox with memory mode (routes): 1: keyboard mode 2: memory mode 3: s88 monitor mode 4: programming mode Intellibox without memory mode (routes): 1: keyboard mode 3: s88 monitor mode 4: programming mode The amount of time the mode message stays on the Intellibox display can be controlled through SO #817 in 10 ms units (this SO is also available in older software versions). The default value for SO #817 is 100, i.e. 1 second.

• added new submenu in the main configuration menu: LocoNet Prog.

This submenu is to be used in order to read and program the configuration of LocoNet modules, like, e.g., the Uhlenbrock 63340 and 63350 feedback modules.

• the "search" submenu of the "Programming mode" is now disabled by default. It can be re-enabled by changing the value of SO #836. That is:

SO #836 = 0 (default) -> no "search" submenu SO #836 = 1 -> "search" submenu enabled We adopted this change because unfortunately users keep ‘misusing’ the search submenu in order to read the address also of decoders which can be electronically read (in which case, of course, a direct read - e.g., of CV #1 - is the right (and reliable) way to proceed).

• new SO controlling whether the IB, while reading or writing a long address, also sets Bit #5 of CV #29:

SO #662:

          Bit #0 = 0 -> no Bit #5 set when reading
          Bit #0 = 1 (default) -> Bit #5 is set when reading
          Bit #1 = 0 -> no Bit #5 set when writing
          Bit #1 = 1 (default) -> Bit #5 is set when writing

Furthermore, Bit #2 of SO #662 tells the IB whether to ignore or not any error during writing of Bit #5 of CV #29. Since the SO edit submenu of the main settings menu does not allow bit editing of an SO, these are the possible values of SO #662 along with the corresponding values of Bit #0 and Bit #1:

          SO #662 value:

          0 Bit #2=0, Bit #1=0, Bit #0=0
          1 Bit #2=0, Bit #1=0, Bit #0=1
          2 Bit #2=0, Bit #1=1, Bit #0=0
          3 Bit #2=0, Bit #1=1, Bit #0=1
          4 Bit #2=1, Bit #1=0, Bit #0=0
          5 Bit #2=1, Bit #1=0, Bit #0=1
          6 Bit #2=1, Bit #1=1, Bit #0=0
          7 Bit #2=1, Bit #1=1, Bit #0=1

This SO has been introduced in order to provide a workaround for a bug of some recent Lenz decoders (LE010/011 (only some versions) and LE1024/5): these decoders, when asked to write a bit of a CV do indeed perform the requested bit write albeit without generating any acknowledge - what normally (without changing SO #662 from its default value (3)) impedes long address reading and also makes any long address write terminate with an error (though the address has indeed been written and ‘activated’).

The suggested value for SO #662 in order to apply the workaround is 7.

N.B. for reading or writing an LE1024/5 decoder it may be needed to set SO #455 to the value 63 (the default of that SO being 51).
