I didn't give the shut down any thought, however I had one that did that, but generally they will recognize most function keys and restart, but like I said, I had one that did that. I think the new QSI decoders use F9 to start and shutdown.
If you still have the long address, it didn't reset. I think you can reset on the main if you can address the locomotive. It should be CV 08 Data 08. Some decoders need the 08 and some respond to just the 8, but I think they all read the 08 form.
When on the programming track you don't need the locomotive address, but some times there is not enough power to encode the chip unless you have a program track booster.
