You might need the buttons accessible for the CAN models, depending on how they work out the CAN addressing. To address the Jaguars, you theoretically chained them together, then sent an address set command and pressed a button on the Jaguar you wanted to set. In practice, you usually had to individually connect to a Jag to set its address. Or to read its address, for that matter.
I'm hoping the Talon SRX will have a better system for this. I'd be super happy if they decided to go the typical industry route and have a pair of rotary switches for setting the address, so you can set/read-off IDs without power or connectivity. Software addressing is theoretically nice until you have to figure out which devices on your network have conflicting IDs through said malfunctioning network.
EDIT: Found the detailed drawings of the Talon SRX, and there aren't any addressing switches on there at the moment, alas.
