+Communication in LocoNet® and most LocoNet devices is done via one single wire.\\
 This wire is carrying between 10 and 15 Volts, and will be short circuited to ground when communication is taking place.\\
 Some available products feed this 10-15 V via a simple resistor.\\

 There is a technical more important reason to do it this way, but there is no need to go that far in explanation.\\

 That is why GCA units all provide the option to shut off this current source.\\
 When GCA85 or GCA101 or CAN_GCLN is the only main LNet unit, its current source should always be activated.\\
