Make sure the engine program switch is in the program position.

Thomas,

      What engine number are you trying to enter? My Legacy B6 # 5244 would take # 44 but when I tried to select engine # 44 my Cab2 would not except it. I would enter 44 but it would come up as 41. I used 52 instead and everything worked great. It did not matter to me if it was 44 or 52 so I never looked into it further. I have other engines that have double numbers like 11, 22 etc but for some reason my Cab2 hates 44. Go figure.

John,

G.W. Bush 4141.  Cab remote accept 41 but will accept 14, go figure. I guess I’ll go with 14.

Thanks,

Tom

Doesn’t accept 41!

It should not make a difference, but does your Cab2 already have a <ENG 41> in the system? If so, try deleting <ENG 41> and then entering the new 4141 engine. MartyE is probably the guy to give you a better answer, but until he replies that is the only thing I can think of without seeing pictures of the process you are going through. Good luck and let us know what happens, I'm sure will want to know the answer as well.

FWIW, a few years ago I had a similar issue.  I couldn't enter a specific number, any other number worked fine.  I finally fired up the Legacy System Utility (LSU) on my PC and cleared out that address.  That fixed it.  I tried deleting the address from the CAB2, but the only way I got rid of it was with the LSU.

This is a new one on me but...

First off, what version Base and Cab software do you have?

Base Current is 1.6

Cab Current is 1.61

I tried accessing all the addresses listed above and was able to assign and engine and operate from them.  We know your keypad is operational because you can get the combination of 1 and 4 but not 4 and 1. If the software is current, you could reload the base and cab software.

If you have access to a second Cab that might help in diagnosing whether its the Cab or base causing the issue.

Marty, in my case it was something corrupted in the base that prevented me from using that address.  There was no way to clear it from the CAB2, I finally fixed it with the LSU.  This was some time ago, and maybe whatever bit me has been corrected in later versions of the Legacy software.

Time to Upgrade like Marty said.

I was able to use  ID # 14, and that worked. Added the UP 9096 as ID #90.  Now trying to figure out how they work together.  Not a easy process !

As Marty said, bring your software up to date.  When you want to enter an engine with a single digit, enter it with a leading zero (ie 02).  The zero will not display.
