<h1>Hardware Support: Protrak Grapevine System</h1>

<h3>Modules</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Protrak Grapevine Nodes (1-127)</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h2 id="limitations">Limitations</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Fast Clocks are not yet supported. If you have one and want to test it with JMRI, let
|
|
us know.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="connecting">Connecting</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Settings</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>To configure the connection:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Open the JMRI "Preferences" under the "Edit" menu</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>On the Connections tab, select "Protrak" as the System Manufacturer</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>As the System Connection select either
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Grapevine (ProTrak) Layout Bus</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Grapevine Simulator</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Click "Save" & restart</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before you can access a Grapevine Node in JMRI, you have to define it to the program. You
|
|
can do this either from the <a href=
|
|
"../../../package/apps/TabbedPreferences.shtml">Preferences window</a> (under Edit in the
|
|
main menu, click "Configure Nodes") or using the <a href=
|
|
"../../../package/jmri/jmrix/grapevine/nodeconfig/NodeConfigFrame.shtml">Configure Nodes</a>
|
|
tool in the <strong>Grapevine</strong> menu.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Grapevine Systems Names start with a system letter of "G", optionally followed by an
|
|
integer to form a unique System Prefix. After the prefix, there's a <a href=
|
|
"../../doc/Technical/Names.shtml#type">type letter</a>, then a node number and a pin
|
|
number.<br>
|
|
Naming and input/output connectors are described on a <a href="Names.shtml">separate
|
|
page</a>. <img src="images/GrapevineConfig.png" width="340" height="160" class="floatRight"
|
|
alt="Grapevine Configuration Option"></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If desired, check "Additional Conection Settings" and select an option for
|
|
"Auto-initialize" to have Simulator generate automatic replies from node inputs/outputs:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|

|
|
<li>All possible</li>
