<h1>Hardware Support: Fleischmann/Roco z21/Z21</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Roco z21/Z21 is a command station with support for LocoNet, R-Bus and XPressNet
|
|
devices and it includes a built in Ethernet port. The Z21 device is also sold under the
|
|
Fleischmann name.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For connecting to the device via the LocoNet or XPressNet interface, please see the
|
|
<a href="../../loconet/Digitrax.shtml">LocoNet</a> and <a href=
|
|
"../../XPressNet/index.shtml">XPressNet</a> connection pages.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This page specifies connecting to the z21/Z21 via the Ethernet port as documented on the
|
|
<a href="https://www.z21.eu/en">Z21 website</a>.</p>

<p>Roco has two devices it sells as the White Z21 and the Black Z21. The White Z21 is also
|
|
sometimes referred to as the z21. Both devices support connections via the Ethernet Port, to
|
|
R-Bus Devices, and to XPressNet devices. The Black Z21 also supports connections via LocoNet
|
|
and Zimo's CAN bus.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Note: The first JMRI release supporting the Lenz LIUSB Ethernet connection was v
|
|
3.11.7.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>To connect your computer to either the z21 or Z21 via Ethernet port, connect your
|
|
z21/Z21 to your computer Network using the supplied Ethernet cable.<br></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Once the device is connected, refer to the device documentation for information on
|
|
setting the IP address. The default IP address is 192.168.0.111. Make note of the IP
|
|
address for use when configuring the device.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Start one of the JMRI-based programs, Then go to the preferences panel. This opens
|
|
automatically the first time a program is run, or you can select it from the "Edit"
|
|
menu.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Select "Roco" from the system manufacturer selection box and "Roco Z21" from the top
|
|
selection box. There are two configuration options available for the LIUSB-Ethernet.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Enter the IP address you saved earlier into the box labeled "IP Address/Host Name"</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Click "Save". You'll be asked if it's OK for the program to quit, click "Yes".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Restart the program.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Open <strong>Preferences ⇒ Defaults</strong>. Check the default connection
|

and correct it as shown. Click "Save".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Restart the program. You should be up and running.</li>

<li>Start one of the JMRI-based programs, Then go to the preferences panel. This opens
|
|
automatically the first time a program is run, or you can select it from the "Edit"

menu.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Select "Roco" from the system manufacturer selection box and "Z21 Simulator" from the

<h2 id="tools">JMRI z21/Z21 Tools</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following tools are available from the menu when this connection is active:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Open Z21 Monitor - This tool allows you to monitor traffic to and from the Z21.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Send Z21 Command</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Z21 Configuration tool - This tool allows you to check and set the Z21 flags related to
|
|
this connection. Flags are set automatically by certain services JMRI starts, such as the
|
|
Z21 XPressNet connection.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to the Z21 specific menu, you will also find the Z21XPressNet menu, which
|
|
contains the same XPressNet tools found on any XPressNet system.</p>
