<p class="important">The current JMRI Preferences Help is <a href=
|
|
"../../html/setup/index.shtml#setprefs">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In either PanelPro or DecoderPro, in the main menu bar click on the Edit menu ->
|
|
Preferences... (Windows) or click on Preferences... in the PanelPro application menu (OS X).
|
|
This opens the <strong>Preferences</strong> panel (The panel may open automatically the first
|
|
time you run JMRI®).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <strong>Preferences</strong> panel is split into two panes: on the left side is a list
|
|
of Preference groups that may be set. Clicking on one of the Tabs opens that set of
|
|
Preference options in the right side pane where options may be checked or changed.<br>
|
|
Note: <strong>Remember to click <span class="textbutton">Save</span>
|
|
to finalize your settings and then re-start JMRI to have them take effect.</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To a first time user the most important part to start with is the
|
|
<strong>Connections</strong> Tab, where you describe how your computer will talk to the DCC
|
|
Command Station. You may leave most of the other Tabs at their initial or "default" settings
|
|
until you find a need to change things to suit your fancy.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <strong>Preferences -> Connections</strong> pane provides access to the basic
|
|
configuration information to connect your computer to your DCC system. You may either set up
|
|
JMRI OperationsPro to work as a digital Switch List generator using a "Simulator" Connection
|
|
Type, or take advantage of the full JMRI Suite by connecting JMRI® OperationsPro to your DCC
|
|
layout to actually build and operate trains equipped with DCC decoders and follow them on
|
|
your computer screen.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the following example, the Connections Tab was selected:</p>

<h3><a id="Connections"></a>Connections Pane</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Select the Connections Tab at left to display the Connection options on the right hand
|
|
side (Tabs are configured to the system your selected).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Let's set up JMRI Preferences for the Connection with your Command Station. <span style=
|
|
"align: center;color:gray;">In this example we are using a Digitrax DCS100 Super Chief
|
|
Command Station, (radio) interfaced to the computer via LocoNet, PR3 (in MS100 mode) and USB
|
|
port. We keep our JMRI master roster on the System Drive.</span></p>
