Configuring Your Server

Engine Driver can connect to a number of supported WiThrottle Protocol and Native DCC-EX Protocol servers including:

• JMRI

  • Using WiThrottle Protocol, or

  • Using Native DCC-EX Protocol

• DCC-EX EX-CommandStation

  • Using WiThrottle Protocol, or

  • Using Native DCC-EX Protocol

• MRC Prodigy WiFi

• Digitrax LnWi

• WifiTrax (for NCE)

JMRI

• Check your preferences/settings to insure you allow or disallow the control features desired.

• If you’ve defined your turnouts/points and routes in a panel file, make sure to specify ‘user names’ for those you’d like to see listed on your throttle.

• You can also ‘filter’ the turnouts shown using the WiThrottle->Filter Controls option in the WiThrottle window.

• Entering roster entries, and defining routes and turnouts on the server will all make your Engine Driver throttle more powerful and easier to use (though not required).

• Engine Driver will show additional info if the JMRI Web Server is started (such as roster details and icon images).

• To use the Native DCC-EX Protocol with JMRI you must Load DCC== over TCP Server in the ‘DCC-EX’ menu in JMRI, then connect Engine Driver to the additional server that is presented.
