=====Introduction=====
RC-CAB is a mobile Android Throttle which directly connects to one of the command stations listed below. RC-CAB therefore can be used as a mobile wireless throttle without computer connection and Rocrail and is well suited for testing purposes.\\
  * Android versions 4 and higher are supported.
  * A permanent Code can be requested in exchange of financial support.
  * 5 Demo minutes without an installed code.

 \\

=====Command Stations=====
Supported are
  * **CBUS** using the __**[[:can-gca1e-en|CAN-GC1e]]**__ interface.
  * **LocoNet** __**[[:mgv101-en|GCA101]]**__ interface. -> A multicast (UDP) capable Android device is needed.
  * **XpressNet** using the Ethernet Interface 
  * Märklin __**[[:cs2:cs2-en|CS2]]**__ (Untested)
  * __**[[:rocnet:rocnetnode-en|RocNet]]**__  -> A multicast (UDP) capable Android device is needed.
  * WIO Multicast -> WIP
 \\

=====Features=====
  * Throttle with 28 functions.
  * Accessory control.
  * Programming CVs.
  * Track power control.
  * Keep alive for loco session and interface.

=====Install=====


=====WiFi Access Point=====
{{ http://drh1.img.digitalriver.com/DRHM/Storefront/Company/ciscoeu/images/product/detail/WRT54GL-1_175x125.jpg}}
The network in which the Ethernet Interface is connected to must be extended with a WiFi access point to be able to connect the RC-CAB to it.\\
> **Note:** The Ethernet Interface must have a valid MAC-Address. Otherwise, some routers or access points may refuse a connection to that device!
 \\

=====Setup=====
{{:rccab:rccab-prefs-en.png?200}}{{:rccab:rccab-prefs2-en.png?200}}\\

====Protocol====
Select the desired connection protocol:
  * CBUS -> TCP/IP
  * GCA101 -> UDP Multicast
  * Xpressnet -> TCP/IP
  * CS2 -> UDP
  * RocNet -> UDP Multicast

> **Note:** Not all devices are supporting UDP Multicast receive. It does not or only work partly.

====Host / Port====
Set the IP-Address and Port according the setup of the selected interface.
  * **[[:can-gca1e-en#ethernet|CBUS CAN-GC1e]]** 
  * **[[:mgv101-en#hostname|GCA101]]** (UDP Multicast) __**Fixed on IP 224.0.0.1 and Port 1235**__
  * **[[:xpressnet-en#hostname_port|Xpressnet USB/Ethernet 23151]]**
  * **[[:rocnet:rocnet-prot-en|RocNet]]** (UDP Multicast) __**Defaults to IP 224.0.0.1 and Port 4321**__

====Bus====
For use in combination with RocNet to select the default RocNetNode ID for mobile decoder commands.\\

====Keep screen on====
The Keep screen on option avoids automatically dimming of the display.\\
====Small Throttle====
Option for large displays to keep the throttle dialog small.\\
====Email / Code====
{{:rccab:rccab-donation.png?100}}\\
To enable the speed slider a **[[:supportkey-en#code_for_rc-cab|Code]]** is needed.\\ 
The email address field is case sensitive, and avoid blanks.\\
This dialog will popup after 5 demo minutes if the slider is touched/moved.\\
> **Note:** In some rare cases the device has to be rebooted to get the code activated... (Samsung ACE 2)\\
