Setup



Hostname/Port

Only for the XnTcp sub library.
The hostname must be a TCP/IP address or a solvable DNS name.


Power on state for accessory commands

The LZV only have a small buffer for stacking accessory commands at power off. It will reply with "Busy" messages if there is no more room for more commands.
Check the position of all switches after power off on a ghost train event in automatic mode before turning power back on.


CTS Flow & LI-USB

The LI-USB manual says to use no hardware handshake, but if buffer overflows are encountered it is recommended to set this to CTS.


Sensor offset

The attribute fboffset="X" allows you to shift the addresses of the sensors up or down.


Startup power state

The default startup power state is off. You can change this behavior by checking this option.


Fastclock

Some XpressNet Command Stations, like OpenDCC, are supporting the fast clock operation.
Check this if Rocrail should send this command every layout minute.


Type

Product Type Remark Tested
Lenz LI101* default RS232 Interface OK
Lenz LI-USB usb USB OK
OpenDCC opendcc USB pending
XnTcp xntcp XpressNet over TCP/IP -
Hornby Elite elite USB OK
Atlas atlas Same implementation as 'default'. -
CtTran cttran Same implementation as 'default'. OK


Sensor adressing

The calculation is done like this:

Rocrail address = ( XpressNet address - 1) *8 + port

ranges: XpressNet address [1..128], port [1..8]

Example

XpressNet address → Rocrail address (from..to)

1 1..8 → 1..8
2 1..8 → 9..16
64 1..8 → 505..512
65 1..8 → 513..520
66 1..8 → 521..528


and so on …


Accessory Decoder Address

You can set up the Address in rocrail style, or what is more cool in PADA Style: http://wiki.rocrail.net/doku.php?id=addressing-en-flat#port_accessory_decoder_address_pada. Then the address of the decoder will match with the address in your LH*.
