NCE Help Needed

I’m looking for a schematic for hooking up this system that I can wrap my poor addled brain around.

I have a Powercab, SB3a, NCE Interface board, NCE UTP and a 4PDT switch (no partridge in a pear tree yet but I’m willing). I’m looking for a drawing showing hookups, including labeled 2 pair vs 3 pair cables. The NCE site isn’t much help. I’d like to have a switchable programing track and be able to program CVs thru my laptop. So far I’ve got the Powercab and SB3a going but I’m stuck on the next steps.

Thanks

Jerry

Can’t program through the SB3A. You need to use the original PowerCab Panel and power supply, and plug in there like you did before the SB3A to program. You can plug the USB interface intot he other jack on the panel to connect JMRI.

There is an NCE Yahoo Group that you should join. They can give you this detailed type of information.
