I'm new to DCC and would like to add left and right turnouts to my layout.  How are they connected and programmed??

I have several DCC turnouts and they are easy to program.    Trouble is my layout is at my place in the country and can't recall exactly from memory how to program them

There are no wires that run from the switch to a transformer all power and control is thru the rails.    I have a Bachmann ez command and address 9 is used for the switches.   You can program up to 9 switches on separate addresses or if you got more you can double up some on the same address.   Programming the switch to a address is done by pressing in on a small tab located on the switch based on the instructions that come with each switch.    It is not hard to do at all.    Wish I could give you more details but like I said, my switch instruction manual is at the lake.

Am sure someone else will be able to walk you thru with more detail.
