| + | This page tries to show how the server and client of Rocrail can communicate with each other and how the software can establish a connection to a command station, which in turn is connected to the actual railroad. These connections enables the user to have a layout that can be controlled and operated by a computer. | ||

| + | **//Diagram Notes//:** \\ | ||
| + | #1 Use a Crossover cable when connecting a PC directly to a command station. \\ | ||
| + | #2 Some Command Stations use a RS232 or USB connection to the server. There are USB to RS232 connectors available, if needed: ** [[http://wiki.rocrail.net/doku.php?id=usb-rs232-en|usb rs232]] ** \\ | ||
| + | #3 Use regular Ethernet cables when connecting a PC through a router. \\ | ||
| + | #4 No wireless connection needed, if server and viewer are on the same machine. \\ | ||
| + | #5 If the viewer and the server are on separate machines, then you need to add the IP-address of the server to the viewer software. \\ | ||
| + | #6 Some command stations have an internal booster, others only generate a digital signal that needs to be connected to external booster. \\ | ||
| + | #7 For a comprehensive list of command stations supported by Rocrail, check here: **[[http://wiki.rocrail.net/doku.php?id=controllers-en|Rocrail Command Stations]]** \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | There is a virtual command station included with the Rocrail software, this allows the user to put Rocrail through its paces, without a command station or an actual railroad. \\ | ||
| + | This virtual command station works just like an actual one and most features of Rocrail are supported: **[[http://wiki.rocrail.net/doku.php?id=virtual-automatic-en|Rocrail Virtual Command Station]]** \\ | ||
