J.C.,

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you want to use 1234 as an address, you just put 1234 into CV 17 & 18. You also have to change CV 29 to 22 or 26. That's it. You don't need to do anything else. Since you mentioned a Digitrax decoder, I assume you are using their decoder and their system. Digitrax makes it easy to program a "long address", especially with their newer DT300 and DT400 throttles. Just consult their manuals for the specific steps.
