-English version will probably follow german version - see german version for up-to-date information... 
- 
-===== Introduction ===== 
- 
-My layout is modular gauge O. I use only DCC. 
- 
----- 
- 
-===== actual test equipment ===== 
- 
-  * Command stations 
-    * Intellibox 1 
-    * Lenz LZV100 
-    * Roco MultiZentralePRO 
- 
-  * Throttles 
-    * 2 on Intellibox 1 (integrated) 
-    * 1 Multimaus (cable) 
-    * 1 Fremo Fred (cable) 
-    * 3 MultimausPRO (ZigBEE) 
-    * 2 Manhart Funky (DECT) 
-    * 1 iPod (WLAN) 
-    * 1 Android Mobile (WLAN, Samsung Galaxy S3mini) 
-    * optional 3 Roco Maus 1 (cable) (not really vital :-)) 
- 
-  * Accessories 
-    * XnTCP Ethernet-Xpressnet Interface 
-    * Lenz LI-USB USB-Xpressnet-Interface 
-    * RR-Ciruits Locobuffer-USB USB-LoconetInterface 
-    * old PC 
-    * WLAN-Router 
-    * Blücher GBM16XN occupancy detector (with RailCom) 
- 
-So my "Personal Command Station" is named AGR-1 and is a Rocrail PC (1)! My goal is to connect and //USE// all my equipment. 
- 
-As of today, everthing IS working, but still not together :-( 
- 
-===== personal restrictions ===== 
- 
-  * I only want to use F0 up to F12 on my mobiles - more Fs on the Locos is wonderful, but I don't want to run them manually - they shound work/sound whenever apropriate automatically initiated by Rocrail! 
-  * I only want to use 28 speed steps 
-  * I don't want to use USB interfaces further 
-    * for Xpressnet I prefer XnTCP (present) over LI-USB (//still// present) or serial RS232 
-    * for Loconet I prefer GCA101 LocoNet-TCP/IP ([[mgv101-en]], not present yet) over RR-Circuits Locobuffer-USB (present) 
- 
-===== my function key settings ===== 
- 
-  * Fn, F0 front lights (toggle) 
-  * F1 back lights (toggle) 
-  * F2 decouple (momentary) 
-  * F3 motor sound (toggle) 
-  * F4 whistle (momentary) 
-  * F5 slow motion (toggle) 
-  * F6 interior light (?) (toggle) 
-  * F7 ringing (momentary) 
-  * F8 yet undefined 
-  * F9 Köf 2: sound: "Vorsicht! Weg vom Gleis!" (mometary) 
-  * F10 unused 
-  * F11 unused 
-  * F12 unused 
- 
- 
-Locos have more functions - I don't want to use them on my throttles, they should be activated by Rocrail. Later more, when the time comes... 
- 
-===== test arrangement, first step: Loconet ===== 
- 
-  * Hardware: 
-    * Intellibox 1  
-    * Interface LocoBuffer-USB 
-    * Manhart Funky connected with Loconet 
-    * Rocrail installation as usual 
-    * track connected to Intellibox  
- 
-  * Funktions: 
-    * with screenthrottle loco control works and F0 to F8 
-      * changes with screenthrottel is displayed on IB and Funky 
-    * with IB the functions F0 to F8 work (IB restriction) 
-      * changes with IB are transmitted an displayd on screenthrottle an Funky 
-    * with the Funky Loco control an F0 to F12 work to track 
-      * F0 to F8 are transmitted to IB an screenthrottle 
- 
-  * Specialties: 
-    * F4 (momentary): works on Funky as expected - whistles as long as key is pressed! If I press F4 on IB, I can hear only a short whithle - it is switches off again immediately! When pressing F4 on screenthrottle, nothing happes - when releasing F4 is is shortly activated! 
-    * F9 (I can nor choose wheter momentary or toggle in the IB): works on Funky! I can toggle on screenthrottle. Does not work on IB, but is transmitted by IB to the Tracks! Wherever I press F9 it will NOT be transmitted to all other throttles! Rocrail seems to stay uninformed! 
- 
-Conclusion: 
-  * works pretty well! Regarding Funky: nearly perfect! 
- 
-===== Arrangement, second step: WLAN ===== 
- 
-===== Arrangement, third step: Xpressnet ===== 
- 
-===== Does it work alltogether? ===== 
- 
-No. Not yet. 
- 
- 
-===== ===== 
-(1) What is a "Rocrail PC"? 
-  * Every Computer running the Rocrail Server Software will do. This icludes an OpenWRT Router, a RaspBerry or Arduino. Should be as fast as possible for best Rocrail performance. My current Rocrail PC is a Desktop Pentium 4 2,6GHz with 760MB Ram and Windows XP.
