 +===== Menu Items of an empty block =====
 +Top line in Bold shows Block ID
 +
 +==== Set Locomotive assignment... ====
 +A dialogue is opened and the block can be assigned with a locomotive. For details of this dialogue refer to **[[:mobile-selection-en|Mobile Selection]]**. \\

 +
 +==== Accept BiDi locomotive ====
 +A manually operated, BiDi-capable locomotive is accepted once at the next entry into the block: The locomotive does not trigger a ghost train, but is accepted into the block with its ID.

 +Only active when the block is not currently occupied.
 +
 +==== Put out of operation / Put into operation ====
 +Toggle function that locks or releases the block. In automatic mode, the block is no longer approached. \\
 +The symbol of a locked and empty block has the background colour "grey": {{:blockside:block-gr.png?90}} \\
 +If an already occupied block is set to "out of operation", this status will only be visible after it has become free.
 +
 +  * **Hints:** \\ The context menu of an __occupied__ block only offers "put out of operation". \\ Putting an __occupied__ block "into operation" is __not__ possible, but locomotives/trains can be started. \\ The toggle function "Put out of operation" <> "Put into operation" is only possible with an empty block. \\
