+The heart of the system is the Rocrail server and it's configuration file rocrail.ini.
+It is possible to edit the rocrail.ini by hand using the [[http://rocrail.net/doc/rocrail-wrappers/wrapper-en-index.html|wrapper documentation]], but it is much more
+comfortable using the "Rocrail Properties" dialog found in the Rocgui.
+With the **Rocrail Properties** dialog you can configure the rocrail server to meet your hard- and software.
+But first of all we have to start the rocrail server and connect to it with the Rocgui.
+=====Starting the Rocrail Server=====
+After installing the Rocrail setup or package, you can find the Rocrail shortcuts under Programs when running Windows or as
+Desktop icons when running Linux.
+Just start the server by clicking "Rocrail". It starts running in a console window writing many log lines which should not bother you.
+You can minimize the window if it annoys you.
+=====Starting the Rocrail Client=====
+Now it is time to start the Rocview by selecting the "Rocrview" shortcut.
+If everything is OK it connects to the Rocrail server and displays the Demo Layout.
+=====Select your language=====
+{{lang.png}}
+The Rocgui must be restarted after selecting a language.
+=====Configure the Server=====
+From the Mainmenu select **File->Rocrail Properties...**
+The Tabs:
+) **General**
+You do not have to change things here unless you want to use a layout file other than "plan.xml".
+(see: "Upload a plan file to the Server")
+) **Trace**
+Skip this one; only needed if you have problems and want to send an extended trace to rocrail.net.
+) **Service**
+Only needed if you want to activate the service for the [[WebClient]],
+or if you want a faster clock.
+) **Automatic**
+Leave it as it is; fine tuning for automatic mode.
+) **Controller**
+This tab is the most important one which configures the connection between the Rocrail Server and your Digital Controller like IntelliBox.
+Here you can add and delete controllers. Just select a controller from the list and push the properties button to configure the controller.
