	Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNet. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

	===Locomotive Speed Step ~~mode~~===		===Locomotive 28 Speed Step Mode===
	Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNet device requests 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.
