<h1>Hardware Support: JMRI Tools for LocoNet® Devices</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>JMRI software provides a variety of tools to support hardware connected to the LocoNet®
|
|
bus. These tools provide a variety of features, such as monitoring status, reading and
|
|
writing configuration. Each of the tools provides a set of features which is appropriate to
|
|
the type of device it supports, as summarized in the table below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="tools">JMRI LocoNet Tools</h2>
|
|
<p>Access to the LocoNet Tools is from the <strong>LocoNet</strong> menu that appears when JMRI
|
|
is <a href="Digitrax.shtml#Setup">connected to a LocoNet®</a>-based DCC system, or to a
|
|
<a href="StandaloneLocoNet.shtml">Standalone LocoNet</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the table below, each tool name is a link to its tool-specific help page.</p>

The JMRI Roster allows users to configure these devices in approximately
|
|
the same way as the standalone tool. The Roster method has the advantage that the user
|
|
may save each individual device's settings to a unique file on the computer's storage
|
|
media, and later read from the computer's storage media for restoring the individual
|
|
device's saved settings.</dd>

<dt>

<a id="TableNote2">Note 2</a>

<dd>The JMRI Roster mechanism does not allow configuration of the turnout
|
|
numbers which control the DS64 output, and cannot access in any way the DS64
|
|
"Routes".</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>
|
|
<a id="TableNote3">Note 3</a>
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>Configuring these devices is only possible when the device is acting as
|
|
the command station. The specific LocoNet mechanism used by both the Roster mechanisms
|
|
and by the "Command Station Configuration" tool cannot perform configuration operations
|
|
on these devices when they are acting in "booster" mode.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>
|
|
<a id="TableNote4">Note 4</a>
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>The Roster mechanism can access the various known OpSw settings for these
|
|
command stations where the "Configure Command Station" tool can only access those OpSw
|
|
settings which were implemented in previous command stations. The Roster mechanism is
|
|
strongly preferred for these command station models.</dd>

Using this tool can have an effect on both the Duplex radio settings (if one or more
|
|
UR92 is present on LocoNet) <strong>and</strong> some aspects of LNWI configuration
|
|
(if one or more LNWI is present on LocoNet). See the <a href=
|
|
"../../../package/jmri/jmrix/loconet/duplexgroup/DuplexGroupTabbedPanel.shtml#LNWISideEffects">
|
|
Duplex Group Configuration Tool</a> help page discussion of its influence on the LNWI
|
|
settings for more information.

<dd>The Firmware Download tool can only update those devices which use
|
|
firmware which is provided in the original firmware format. Newer Digitrax devices use a
|
|
different firmware format and require a different firmware update methodology which is
|
|
not currently supported in JMRI.</dd>
