<h1>Configure LocoNet ID Tool</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>What is LocoNet ID?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "LocoNet ID" is a number which is used by throttles and UR90, UR90X, UR91, UR92, and UR92CE
|
|
devices when a throttle is operating in a tetherless mode using infrared or simplex radio
|
|
communications. When receiving infrared signals, the UR90, UR90X, UR91, UR92 and UR92CE will only pay attention
|
|
to throttles which are using the same LocoNet ID number. When receiving simplex radio
|
|
signals, the UR91 will only pay attention to throttles which are using the same LocoNet ID
|
|
number.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The LocoNet ID number is intended to allow multiple Digitrax layouts to operate
|
|
independently when in close proximity. In this case, each each layout must use a different
|
|
LocoNet ID number.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If there are no other Digitrax layouts in close proximity, then there is no need to change
|
|
the LocoNet ID number.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When there is more than one UR9x device installed, it is important that all UR9x devices
|
|
use the same LocoNet ID number.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When there are no UR9x devices installed, this tool does not perform any useful
|
|
function.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Using the LocoNet ID Tool</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The LocoNet ID Tool may be used to read and to change the LocoNet ID number.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Use the "Query" button to read the current LocoNet ID number. If a UR9x device responds to
|
|
the query, the reported LocoNet ID number will be updated in the tool.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To change the LocoNet ID number, use the pull-down box to select the desired LocoNet ID
|
|
number, then use the "Set" button to write the LocoNet ID number to the UR9x devices.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After changing the LocoNet ID number, all throttles capable of tetherless operation must
|
|
be un-plugged then plugged in to LocoNet so that they will accept the new LocoNet ID number.
|
|
<em>Failure to acquire this updated LocoNet ID number on a throttle will prevent the throttle
|
|
from communicating with the UR9x device via infrared and/or Simplex radio</em>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Note</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>For the purposes of this discussion, the UR92CE is equivalent to the UR92. For clarity,
|
|
this discussion only shows the term "UR92".</p>
