Railmaster / elink and smd84

[MyRule1]

I have acquired a pre-used smd84 accessory controller to work the points on my new  micro layout. I intend to use railmaster and elink to run this. Despite a number of internet searches I can't find any simple step-by-step instructions to get railmaster to recognise the unit. Under the Hornby instructions imply you should only use the controllers in the preloaded list. I have carried out a factory reset on the smd84.

 

Any help gratefully received.

Just to clarify, are you using solenoid point motors and addresses in the range 1 to 8?  Have you also been using the "Smart" programming functionality?

If the acc decoder is self learning then there is no need to program it in RM as you would a normal acc decoder i.e. allocating address numbers, etc. You simply set it to learning mode and press the associated button on the RM screen for the point and direction you want it to operate. 

Deselect self learning.

Repeat for other points under its control.

If the decoder is listed in the RM pull down the dialogue should point you in the self learn direction.
