<h1>Hardware Setup Support: Terminal Server Connection</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>A <strong>Terminal Server</strong> is a box that connects one or more serial ports to a
|
|
network so they can be accessed from a remote computer. JMRI running on a computer with a
|
|
network connection can connect to an EasyDCC or NCE Command Station or C/MRI nodes via one of
|
|
these. This allows you to put the computer and layout as far apart as you'd like.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>This capability was originally created for david zuhn, who has a <a href=
|
|
"https://stpaulterminal.org/software/jmri/lantronix.html">web page</a> describing in detail
|
|
how he set it up for EasyDCC.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The NCE and C/MRI set up processes are similar.</p>
|
|

|
|
To make this work, you have to configure both JMRI and the Terminal Server, and make the
|
|
appropriate connections.
|
|
<h3>Settings</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To configure JMRI:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Select the "Connections" tab in the "Preferences" from the "Edit" menu</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Select "Easy DCC" as the System Manufacturer</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Select "EasyDCC over terminal server" as the System Connection</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Enter the IP address and TCP/UDP Port number corresponding to the serial port on
|
|
the terminal server</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Click "Save" & quit the program</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Configure the Terminal Server to connect to the command station: 9600 baud, no parity,
|
|
8 bits.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Wiring</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Connect a serial cable from the Terminal Server to the Command Station. Depending on
|
|
the type of the Terminal Server, this might require that you wire a custom cable to get the
|
|
right connectors. Note that you want the "Transmit data" wire on one end to connect to the
|
|
"Receive data" on the other. Do this for both directions, and also include a ground
|
|
wire.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Make the network connections needed.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Start JMRI. If everything is OK, the application will start and tell you on the splash
|
|
screen it's properly connected.</p>
