Joe -
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and instructive reply.  Currently, we are only trying to figure out, with one switch, how to make it work, figuring if we do that, then we wire in the others.

We do have a separate transformer that can provide the electrical output. 

So, if we wire the switch to the transformer, how do we operate the switch? Should the directional button on the black switch control box do it? Or turning the transformer off and on?

I understand that you are saying that no matter what, there is no DCC component in the switch and the Dynamis cannot control the switch.  The Dynamis instruction manual certainly has instructions that lead you to believe that it will (pg 15, pg 20).  If not the Dynamis, what type of remote control does work?  Does "remote control" in this situation mean wired, not wireless?  Using the switch buttons or transformer to send the signal?

Thanks for your help - at least we have an important answer to part of our question.

We are in the midst of trying to set up EZ Track Turnouts for operation by the E-Z Command Dynamis system for our N-gauge layout.  As an example, one of the turnouts is Item # 44876.

We have successfully programmed 2 different locomotives to run on the system, but we can't figure out how to get the E-Z Turnout and the Dynamis to recognize each other so that we can operate the switches.  Until now, they are mounted but the wires have not been connected to anything.  To be able to control these switches remotely, we are trying to use the Dynamis system but without success. 

We tried two different ways to power the switch by 1) wiring to the low-voltage transformer we use to light the buildings or 2) directly to the track but don't know how to tell if the switch itself is powered even if it is plugged into the track.

So, we have 2 questions:
1)   How to test a switch to see if it will work if it does have power?  (we have only used manual switching)
2)   How to know that any one switch is sending a signal to the Dynamis?

In looking through the forums here and elsewhere, there are references to a "set button between the ties" or a program button that you press once or twice and (sooner or later) (some little light somewhere on the turnout?) you'll see that your programming is successful.  (Some of these suggestions may have been in an HO forum.)

There certainly doesn't seem to be any little button anywhere in between ties or anywhere along the track; the only parts I can find are the slider along the track to move the switch manually, as well as the slider under the points that allows them to move manually.

Then there is the black box into which the switch is wired - it has a sliding button on the cover.  But moving this button from one side to another doesn't do anything whether the black box is wired to the track or a separate transformer.  The track is alive – an engine on an adjacent track reacts appropriately to the Dynamis. 

How can we be sure that the switch 1) has power? And 2) is sending a signal to the Dynamis so that we can give it an address? 

Is the switch supposed to be sending a signal to a certain address?  (like all locomotives start out at 03)?  If so, what is that address?  Or should it just show up when we have the Dynamis hooked up correctly and the switch is powered, and, if so, how would we know that?
