<hr />
<div>==Overview==<br />
There are two network connections that the throttle must make in order to communicate to your command station: A WiFi connection and a Server connection.<br />
<br />
*WiFi - The WiFi connection is your access point, router, or WiFi device.<br />
<br />
*Server - A server functions as the translator between your throttle and command station. This is often a computer running a JMRI WiThrottle protocol server.<br />
<br />
Tip: Some devices like Digitrax LNWI and MRC WiFi Module function as both the WiFi and the Server simultaneously.<br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting the WiFi connection==<br />
This section will help you troubleshoot your network connection after a “No WiFi found” error. If no WiFi is found, there are a few likely causes:<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' Your router or WiFi network is not turned on or is otherwise in-operational.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' Restart your WiFi device or router, and check for error messages or warning lights.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' I do not see my WiFi name listed in the options to connect.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' The UWT-100 communicates over WiFi via the 2.4 GHz band. If your router is dual-band or 5 GHz band only, you may not be able to see that network. Both battery life and WiFi range are improved when communicating on the 2.4 GHz band. If using a computer interface like JMRI, make sure the computer is connected to the same 2.4 GHz network that the throttle is connected to.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' You have not yet connected to a WiFi network.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' Follow the steps in the Connecting to a WiFi section to establish a connection.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' Your WiFi password was entered incorrectly.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' You will see the “Wrong WiFi Password” prompt. Double-check and re-enter your password.<br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting the Server Connection==<br />
[[File:JMRI WiThrottle Server IP Port.png|alt=JMRI WiThrottle Server window with IP Address and Port Number identified|thumb|JMRI WiThrottle Server window with IP Address and Port Number identified]]<br />
This section will help you troubleshoot your server connection in the event the 'Server not found' prompt is displayed.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' Throttle cannot connect to JMRI WiThrottle server.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' Reboot your computer and command station, open JMRI, and start the WiThrottle server [Top menu: Actions > Start WiThrottle server]. Once complete, select "Try Again" on the throttle. If you are running JMRI on a Windows PC, make sure JMRI is allowed through the Windows Firewall or the throttle will not connect.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' Command station does not respond to throttle input.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' If your throttle is on and appears to be operational, but there is no response from your command station, restart the command station and check your power and data connections.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' The wrong connection mode is selected. <br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' Use the menu option labeled 'Auto-detect LCC/WT' or 'Change LCC/WT Mode' and select the correct connection mode. An asterisk (*) will appear next to the active mode.<br />
<br />
''Tip: Until TCS releases the Command Station, JMRI, LNWI, and all other potential connections communicate via the WiThrottle protocol. If your connection mode is set to "LCC" for the connection to your layout, change this to "WT" for WiThrottle protocol. LCC mode will be directly supported by the TCS Command Station and other LCC devices, and is currently used for throttle firmware updates with the TCS DEPOT software.''<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' mDNS failed to find the WiThrottle server.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' MDNS is a WiFi protocol which is used to automatically load the IP address and Port number of a server connection. mDNS does not work with all WiFI networks and can fail. If you use phone apps, you may be familiar with manually entering the IP address and Port number of your JMRI WiThrottle server. The UWT-100 is also capable of doing this. Select "Set IP address" from the 'Server not found' menu and set the IP address and port number as indicated on your WiThrottle protocol server window in JMRI. After entering the IP address and Port number once, the throttle will retain this information when reconnecting in future sessions.<br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting an LNWI Connection==<br />
<br />
If you are unable to establish a connection with your LNWI device, follow the steps below:<br />
<br />
1. As simple as this sounds, turning the LNWI device off and on again will often solve connection issues.<br />
<br />
2. Ensure that the number of connections to a specific LNWI devoce is not greater than four. LNWI devices have a limit of four connected devices at one time - including phones running apps like WiThrottle and Engine Driver. Turn off or disconnect one of the devices connected to the LNWI and see if the problem disappears.<br />
<br />
3. Check that your saved LNWI device is turned on. In situations where there are multiple LNWI devices in use, the throttle may be configured to connect to one that is not available.</div>Jordanhttps://docs.tcsdcc.com/index.php?title=UWT-100_Connection_Issues/edithistory&diff=4306UWT-100 Connection Issues/edithistory2020-03-16T20:23:23Z<p>Jordan: Moved page from stagingtcsdcc:en:UWT-100 Connection Issues</p>

[[File:UWT-100 Lanyard.jpg|thumb|Correct installation of the wrist lanyard included with the UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle]]<br />
You may find yourself among the many UWT-100 users asking the question: "how do I attach the wrist lanyard to my UWT-100?"<br />
<br />
There is no need to separate the case or remove any screws to install the lanyard. Please follow the steps below. <br />
<br />
===Process===<br />
<br />
#Slide the thin loop completely through one side of the bottom opening until it emerges from the other side.<br />
#Send the entire wrist lanyard back through the thin loop.<br />
#Pull tight to cinch the loop close to the bottom of the throttle.<br />
<br />
<br />Please note: There is a small plastic insert inside the lanyard loop. This piece is essential in keeping the lanyard strap secure within the throttle. Please do not remove this piece - we'd like to eliminate the possibility of any ''vertical derailments'' of your throttle.<br />

<div>If you're using a DCC system on your home our club layout, the chances are good there is an existing method (direct from that manufacturer or otherwise) for connecting it to JMRI for programming purposes. If your system can connect to JMRI, the UWT-100 can be used to control it by way of a JMRI WiThrottle protocol server. <br />

<div>Welcome to the Train Control Systems documentation wiki! We are creating an online TCS knowledge base, hosted on a wiki (similar in format to an online encyclopedia, i.e. Wikipedia). We will be continuously expanding on topics until we have complied a comprehensive knowledge base that is accessible to everyone and always up-to-date. <br />
<br />
This wiki was first launched 3/4/2020. Documenting the TCS UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle is our first project of many. Please check back for more information, and send us suggestions for articles that you would find helpful. <br />
<br />
Thanks! - The TCS Team <br />

<hr />
<div>== General Information ==<br />
Layout Command Control® or "LCC" is an emerging NMRA standard that provides for a supplementary system to control all non-locomotive layout functions. Signals, layout sounds, and passenger car lighting are several examples of functions that are controlled via LCC. <br />
<br />
While Digital Command Control or "DCC" has grown in popularity, the capacity of the DCC command bus has remained the same. Users are finding that significant delays can occur between when a command is issued and when it reaches its decoder. This delay can cause problems and operational incidents that could be easily avoided with a larger capacity bus, which is where LCC comes in. Routing all the non-locomotive commands through the LCC bus allows the DCC bus to traffic locomotive commands quickly.<br />
<br />
The LCC bus is "bi-directional" meaning that LCC devices (nodes) on the bus can both receive commands and reply to them, which opens up the possibility of many new features for LCC-equipped layouts.<br />
<br />
=== '''Development''' ===<br />
A group known as OpenLCB has been developing and overseeing the creation and adoption of Layout Command Control. You can find the details of their work, process, organization and even how to participate on their development process at their website located at: https://openlcb.org/.<br />
<br />
[https://www.nmra.org/sites/default/files/standards/lcc_faq_handout.pdf LCC Frequently Asked Questions Handout]<br />
<br />
==LCC Products from TCS==<br />
===UWT-100===<br />
The [[UWT-100]] Universal WiFi Throttle from TCS was designed to communicate with LCC networks via WiFi, in addition to communication via the WiThrottle protocol.<br />
<br />
===Command Station===<br />
TCS is currently developing a command station that provides hardwire LCC bus connections. This will be the first commercially-available LCC command station and works directly with the currently-available UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle. <br />
<br />
Layout Command Control (LCC) and RailCom+ support enables consistent bi-directional communication between your locomotives and peripheral devices. The TCS command station also includes out-of-the-box wired support for NCE, including wireless systems. Built-in mounting holes and compact design means the TCS command station can be inconspicuously attached to any layout or dispatchers board. The TCS command station is intended for use with Z, TT, N, HO, and O scales (narrow gauge variants included).<br />
<br />
'''Features:'''<br />
<br />
*Separate outputs for mainline and programming tracks<br />
*Short circuit detection<br />
*5 Ampere peak output<br />
*One RJ-11 bus for wired throttles or peripherals<br />
*One RailCom+ detector<br />
*One dual RJ45 header for LCC communication<br />
<br />
Add-on boosters will be available for larger layouts and clubs that require additional power; however, the TCS command station may also be used with other manufacturers’ boosters through an LCC adapter.<br />
<br />
===Mini-Throttle===<br />
A compact throttle is also in development as part of the TCS command system. The Mini Throttle does not compromise on the features offered in its larger counterpart, but comes with a streamlined package and a smaller price tag. This straightforward unit will be club-focused and perfect for operations.<br />
<br />
'''Versions'''<br />
<br />
The mini-throttle will be available in two versions: one featuring an analogue potentiometer and another with a digital rotary encoder.</div>Jordanhttps://docs.tcsdcc.com/index.php?title=Layout_Command_Control_(LCC)/edithistory&diff=4291Layout Command Control (LCC)/edithistory2020-03-10T19:10:09Z<p>Jordan: Moved page from stagingtcsdcc:en:Layout Command Control (LCC)</p>

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Universal WiFi Throttle]]<br />
It is common for operators to create and disband Multiple Unit “MU” consists during operating sessions. The [[UWT-100]] features a simple method for quickly creating and managing consists that is completely self-contained in the throttle. This method is known as “in-throttle” consisting which operates independently of the command station. In-throttle consisting can be used in conjunction with or independently of decoder-based “advanced” consists.<br />
<br />
The UWT-100 consisting system is capable of controlling the speed, direction, and functions for all locomotives within a consist. The UWT-100 can also select JMRI-created and managed consists.<br />
<br />
==In-Cab Control==<br />
Our consisting system features “in-cab control” which allows the user to select the lead locomotive of the consist, effectively putting you “in the cab” as an operator.<br />
<br />
When operating with a consist, the ''Enter'' button on the UWT-100 can be used to quickly page through consist members and select the lead unit, or active cab. The locomotive chosen as the lead unit can be sent functions that are not sent to the full consist. This can be done using options in the "Consist Functions" menu below.<br />
<br />
==Managing Consists==<br />
<br />
When a consist is created, the current cab address will become the first member of that consist. The following options in the “Consisting” menu can be used to manage consists.<br />
<br />
'''Add Loco To Consist''' - Enter the address of the locomotive to be added, or select from a list. Pressing the Enter button changes the direction of the locomotive being added to the consist.<br />
<br />
'''View Current Consist''' - Shows all members of current consist and their direction within the consist. Selecting a locomotive from the consist provides options to switch to that cab, remove that member, or change direction.<br />
<br />
'''Clear Current Consist''' - Disbands the consist, returning all locomotives to independent operation.<br />
<br />
'''Consist Functions''' - Determines what functions are assigned to the consist or to the selected cab.<br />
<br />
==Function Routing==<br />
Locomotives in prototypical consists exhibit different behaviors depending on their function in the consist. The lead unit will need to use headlights and horns, while trailing units likely will not have operational horns, lights, etc. This behavior can be emulated using In-Throttle Consisting on the UWT-100.<br />
<br />
While operating with an active consist, access the "Consisting" menu and select "Consist Functions." Each function in the list has the option of being sent to the entire consist, or just to the current cab. Users can quickly toggle these options by selecting a function from the list, selecting "Function Routing," and choosing "Send to All Locos" or "Send to Current Cab."<br />
<br />
An asterisk (*) will be shown next to the currently selected option.</div>Jordanhttps://docs.tcsdcc.com/index.php?title=In-Throttle_Consisting/edithistory&diff=4289In-Throttle Consisting/edithistory2020-03-10T18:48:58Z<p>Jordan: Moved page from stagingtcsdcc:en:In-Throttle Consisting</p>

<div>JMRI WiThrottle Server window with IP Address and Port Number Information</div>Jordanhttps://docs.tcsdcc.com/index.php?title=Universal_WiFi_Throttle_-_Connection_Issues&diff=4283Universal WiFi Throttle - Connection Issues2020-03-05T15:35:47Z<p>Jordan: Moved page from stagingtcsdcc:en:UWT-100 Connection Issues (history)</p>
<hr />
<div>==Overview==<br />
There are two network connections that the throttle must make in order to communicate to your command station: A WiFi connection and a Server connection.<br />
<br />
*WiFi - The WiFi connection is your access point, router, or WiFi device.<br />
<br />
*Server - A server functions as the translator between your throttle and command station. This is often a computer running a JMRI WiThrottle protocol server.<br />
<br />
Tip: Some devices like Digitrax LNWI and MRC WiFi Module function as both the WiFi and the Server simultaneously.<br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting the WiFi connection==<br />
This section will help you troubleshoot your network connection after a “No WiFi found” error. If no WiFi is found, there are a few likely causes:<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' Your router or WiFi network is not turned on or is otherwise inoperational.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' Restart your WiFi device or router, and check for error messages or warning lights.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' You have not yet connected to a WiFi network.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' Follow the steps in the Connecting to a WiFi section to establish a connection.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' Your WiFi password was entered incorrectly.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' You will see the “Wrong WiFi Password” prompt. Double-check and re-enter your password.<br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting the Server Connection==<br />
[[File:JMRI WiThrottle Server IP Port.png|alt=JMRI WiThrottle Server window with IP Address and Port Number identified|thumb|JMRI WiThrottle Server window with IP Address and Port Number identified]]<br />
This section will help you troubleshoot your server connection in the event the 'Server not found' prompt is displayed.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' Throttle cannot connect to JMRI WiThrottle server.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' Reboot your computer and command station, open JMRI, and start the WiThrottle server [Top menu: Actions > Start WiThrottle server]. Once complete, select "Try Again" on the throttle. If you are running JMRI on a Windows PC, make sure JMRI is allowed through the Windows Firewall or the throttle will not connect.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' Command station does not respond to throttle input.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' If your throttle is on and appears to be operational, but there is no response from your command station, restart the command station and check your power and data connections.<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' The wrong connection mode is selected. <br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' Use the menu option labeled 'Auto-detect LCC/WT' or 'Change LCC/WT Mode' and select the correct connection mode. An asterisk (*) will appear next to the active mode.<br />
<br />
''Tip: Until TCS releases the Command Station, JMRI, LNWI, and all other potential connections communicate via the WiThrottle protocol. If your connection mode is set to "LCC" for the connection to your layout, change this to "WT" for WiThrottle protocol. LCC mode will be directly supported by the TCS Command Station and other LCC devices, and is currently used for throttle firmware updates with the TCS DEPOT software.''<br />
<br />
'''Problem:''' mDNS failed to find the WiThrottle server.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:''' MDNS is a WiFi protocol which is used to automatically load the IP address and Port number of a server connection. mDNS does not work with all WiFI networks and can fail. If you use phone apps, you may be familiar with manually entering the IP address and Port number of your JMRI WiThrottle server. The UWT-100 is also capable of doing this. Select "Set IP address" from the 'Server not found' menu and set the IP address and port number as indicated on your WiThrottle protocol server window in JMRI. After entering the IP address and Port number once, the throttle will retain this information when reconnecting in future sessions.<br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting an LNWI Connection==<br />
<br />
If you are unable to establish a connection with your LNWI device, follow the steps below:<br />
<br />
1. As simple as this sounds, turning the LNWI device off and on again will often solve connection issues.<br />
<br />
2. Ensure that the number of connections to a specific LNWI devoce is not greater than four. LNWI devices have a limit of four connected devices at one time - including phones running apps like WiThrottle and Engine Driver. Turn off or disconnect one of the devices connected to the LNWI and see if the problem disappears.<br />
<br />
3. Check that your saved LNWI device is turned on. In situations where there are multiple LNWI devices in use, the throttle may be configured to connect to one that is not available.</div>Jordanhttps://docs.tcsdcc.com/index.php?title=UWT-100_Connection_Issues/edithistory&diff=4282UWT-100 Connection Issues/edithistory2020-03-05T15:35:37Z<p>Jordan: Moved page from stagingtcsdcc:en:UWT-100 Connection Issues</p>

Engineered to work with most current DCC systems, and increase adoption and use of LCC, this throttle relies on the robust and universal standard of WiFi communication and leaves outdated control systems behind. The UWT-100 can be conveniently updated over WiFi, meaning you'll always have access to the newest features and your handheld won't quickly pass out of date.<br />
<br />
==Getting Started==<br />
<br />
===Installing Batteries===<br />
The UWT-100 is powered using two “AA” batteries. Many battery chemistries can be used, including Alkaline, NiCd, NiMH, and Lithium. The two AA batteries must be installed into the battery holder in the correct orientation in order to power up the throttle. The required polarity of the batteries is indicated within the battery holder. To ensure the battery door is properly secured, press down firmly until you hear a “click.” Once two “AA” batteries have been installed, press and hold any button for 3 seconds to turn on the UWT-100. Once the unit is on, press button 2 to complete the startup process.<br />
<br />
''Tip: Pressing button 7 at this time will startup the throttle in bootloader mode. Pressing any other button besides 2 or 7 will cancel the startup and power the unit down.''<br />
<br />
===First-Time Setup===<br />
When you turn on the throttle for the first time, you will be guided through a quick first-time setup process. This setup process will enable you to establish an initial WiFi connection. If you would prefer not to use the guide, you may press “Skip.” Otherwise, press “Next” until a scan for WiFi networks is initiated. Once the scan is complete, the throttle will display a list of available WiFi networks. Select your desired network from the list and enter the password if necessary. For help with entering text for your password, please refer to the “Text Entry” section of this guide.<br />
<br />
''Tip: Digitrax LNWI devices start with a standard prefix. Find “Dtx1-LnServer_(...)” in your network list to connect to your LNWI.''<br />
<br />
Once a successful WiFi connection is made, the main Drive Window will appear and you may begin to operate with your UWT-100. Please refer to the “Connection Issues” section of this guide if you experience issues establishing a WiFi or Server connection.<br />
<br />
===Adding a WiFi Network===<br />
Once you have successfully connected to a WiFi network, the UWT-100 will attempt to connect to it’s last known WiFi network on startup. If you are in a new location or no known WiFi networks are present in your location, the throttle will display a “No WiFi Found” screen. In order to connect to a new WiFi network, select option 2 “Add New WiFi” which will call up a list of methods for adding a new WiFi connection.<br />
<br />
It is recommended that you use Option 1 “Scan for WiFi” to find your WiFi network - this may be a WiFi router connected to your JMRI, an LNWI, or other device. Once the scan is complete, the throttle will display a list of available WiFi networks. Select your desired network from the list and enter the password if necessary.<br />
<br />
If multiple connection modes are available on your network, you will be prompted to choose your desired connection mode from a list. You may change your connection mode at any time from the “Network Options” menu. Once a successful WiFi connection is made, the main Drive Window will appear and you may continue to operate with your UWT-100.<br />
<br />
===Connecting to a DCC System===<br />
The UWT-100 can be used with many existing DCC systems. Consult our [[UWT-100 DCC System Compatibility|DCC System Compatibility Guide]] to learn how to connect your UWT-100 to any DCC system.<br />
<br />
===Connection Issues===<br />
There are two network connections the throttle must make in order to communicate to your command station: a WiFi connection and a Server connection.<br />
<br />
Please refer to the [[UWT-100 Connection Issues]] section for solutions to common issues.<br />
<br />
==Using the UWT-100==<br />
This section is dedicated to instructions and information on using the UWT-100 throttle.<br />
<br />
===Power On / Off===<br />
To turn on the UWT-100, press and hold any button on the keypad for 3 seconds, followed by button 2 to power up the throttle. If you would like to access the bootloader mode for firmware updating, press button 7 instead of 2. When powered up, the throttle will display the main Drive Window - your dashboard for locomotive operations.<br />
<br />
You may choose to shut down the throttle at any time via the Main Menu. To do so, enter the Menu and select option 9 "Power Off." If left idle, the throttle will shut down on its own after a user configurable amount of time (in minutes).<br />
<br />
===Menu Navigation===<br />
The Menu button will open the UWT-100 Main Menu. There are functions and options in the menu that can customize your user experience and are helpful for throttle operations. Navigating the main menu can be performed in a variety of ways. Rotating the scroll wheel will navigate up or down through the menu items one at a time. The current menu item will be highlighted. Use of the single chevron buttons will also shift the cursor one item at a time, and use of the double chevron buttons will move the page up or down one full screen at a time.<br />
<br />
Each menu option corresponds to a numeric keypad button. Pressing the corresponding button will immediately select that numbered menu option, even if that menu option is not visible onscreen. If you choose to scroll for a menu option, press the Enter or Select button. If you would like to know what a menu option does, first consult the Help Text.<br />
<br />
===The “Help” Button===<br />
The Universal WiFi Throttle contains information that explains most menu options and operations. To access these tips, you may press the Help button at any time to access the help text for the currently highlighted menu option. Help text is also available in menus by using the button and which is labeled “Help” on-screen.<br />
<br />
A scroll bar will appear on the right side of the screen if more text is available. Scroll up or down to see additional text by using the thumbwheel or the chevron keys. The single chevron keys will navigate one line at a time, and the double chevron keys will navigate one full screen. Pressing the Help button on the Drive Window will bring up the “Function Help” screen. This screen displays all available function buttons, what they do, and their status (on/off). This feature will only display named functions for each function number if the throttle is connected to a JMRI WiThrottle server and has a roster entry whose functions have been defined in [Your locomotive] > Labels and Media > Function Labels.<br />
<br />
===Programmable Buttons===<br />
There are eight buttons on the UWT-100 that can be assigned operations by the user. These buttons can be customized to perform an operation different than their default assignment. The top four buttons, directly below the screen, will always identify their action with an on-screen description. If the description is blank, no action is assigned to that button. You can access button configuration options via the “Throttle Settings” menu. The programmable buttons will adjust based on the configuration in your throttle, command station, and selected locomotive’s roster entry. If you are connected to a server which does not communicate function data such as a LNWI, the buttons will return to their defaults or not display names. When connected to JMRI, the throttle will display the name/number of your locomotive and functions based on your JMRI roster entry. The programmable buttons will display and operate based on the function names as established in your roster entry under [Your locomotive] > Labels and Media > Function Labels.<br />
<br />
===Text Entry===<br />
The UWT-100 has a text entry interface that is used to fill out text-based fields such as WiFi passwords. Whenever the throttle requires text input, it will display the text entry interface. Within the text entry interface, the thumbwheel adjusts the position of the highlighted character. Rotate the thumbwheel to move the cursor to the first character you want to enter, then use the button to ‘Add’ that character. If you make a mistake, you can delete a character using the Backspace button. You may navigate through your entered text using the single up and down chevron buttons.<br />
<br />
The double up and down chevron buttons move the cursor up or down one whole line at a time. These buttons also advance the cursor to other pages of characters. To quickly switch between uppercase and lowercase letters, use the Shift key. Letters and special characters can all be entered with the text entry interface. Numbers do not display within the text entry screen and can be entered directly with the throttle keypad When you have finished entering text, press Save or Enter.<br />
<br />
==Operations==<br />
The Drive Window provides an overview of your currently selected locomotive and other important status indicators. When no locomotive is selected, an “E” will be displayed in the top left corner which stands for “Empty”. If you had previously acquired a locomotive address prior to powering down, the throttle will attempt to re-acquire it. In order to operate a locomotive, use the Select Locomotive button. The single dot button defaults to the quick recall function which will swap between the two most recently used addresses/names.<br />
[[File:UWT-100 Drive Window.jpg|thumb|UWT-100 Drive Window with locomotive "LV 162" selected.]]<br />
<br />
===Select A Locomotive===<br />
Press the [locomotive] button on the keypad to access the locomotive selection screen. Users are given two options for selecting a locomotive.<br />
1. Enter the cab number manually using the numerical keypad.<br />
2. If the throttle is connected to JMRI, all locomotive IDs (names or numbers) will be automatically loaded from the JMRI roster list.<br />
If you have a long roster, you can start entering the address to filter your available options. Use the scroll wheel or chevrons to navigate to the desired locomotive, then press the Enter button to select it and return to the drive window. To assume control of a different locomotive, press the locomotive button on the keypad again.<br />
<br />
Digitrax users: If you would like to relinquish control of your currently selected address, enter the Menu and select “Operations” followed by either the “Release” or “Dispatch” options. Once a locomotive address has been released, it will become the first option available in the recall list.<br />
<br />
===Using Loco Functions===<br />
Pressing the numerical buttons on the keypad will operate the function assigned to that number on your locomotive. When a function is turned on, the function number will be displayed on the screen. To select higher function numbers than 9, press the Shift button. The new function page selected will “persist.” You must press the shift button again in order to continue through function pages. This was designed to allow for easy repeated operation of higher-number functions. On the left side of the screen, a small “1” or “2” will indicate that you are controlling higher functions: 1 for F10 - F19, or 2 for F20 - F28.<br />
<br />
===Reverse Direction===<br />
The direction of the locomotive is indicated by the arrow displayed under the cab number. The upward-facing arrow indicates the unit will travel in its forward direction, and the downward-facing arrow indicates it will travel in reverse. Users may change the direction of the unit by using the Reverse Direction button directly below the thumbwheel.<br />
<br />
===Change Speed===<br />
To adjust the speed of the active locomotive, roll the thumbwheel toward the screen to increase speed, and away to decrease the speed. The single chevron buttons will increase or decrease the speed by 1 step. The double chevron buttons will increase or decrease the speed in larger steps, which are configurable in the “Drive Settings” menu. These buttons are also programmable and can be assigned other functions by the user via the “Change Buttons” menu. Refer to the Programmable Buttons section in this guide for more information. The throttle will always display 128 speed step mode but can still control locomotives operating in 28 or 14 speed step mode.<br />
<br />
===Emergency Stop===<br />
The UWT-100 has a unique 3-Stage Emergency Stop function. Some stages will not be supported on certain DCC systems. Stage 1 is supported under all DCC systems that communicate via the WiThrottle Protocol. LCC supports all 3 stages.<br />
<br />
'''Stage 1:''' Press the E-Stop button once to bring your current locomotive to a stop.<br />
<br />
'''Stage 2:''' Quickly press the E-Stop button again to stop all of the locomotives on the layout.<br />
<br />
'''Stage 3:''' Quickly press the E-Stop button a third time to turn layout power off completely.<br />
<br />
When E-Stop is initially pressed, a small countdown timer will appear in the drive window. Pressing the E-Stop button again before the timer runs out will escalate the E-Stop to the next stage. To release any of these stages of E-Stop, wait until the countdown has finished and press the E-STOP button again. E-Stop stages can be disabled in the “E-Stop Settings” menu.<br />
<br />
==Consisting==<br />
Creating and disbanding Multiple Unit, or “MU” consists may be necessary during your operating sessions. The UWT-100 has a simple method for quickly creating and managing consists that is completely contained within the throttle. This consisting method is known as [[In-Throttle Consisting]], which operates independently of the command station.<br />
<br />
==Yard Mode==<br />
[[Yard Mode]] is a special operations mode of the UWT-100 that is suited especially for switching movements.<br />
<br />
==Throttle Reset==<br />
If for any reason the throttle encounters a problem that it cannot recover from, the LED flashlight blinks a diagnostic code, which may be helpful to TCS support. If you encounter this condition, it can be cleared by removing and reinserting the batteries. In the event that removing the batteries from the UWT-100 does not solve the problem, a factory reset may be performed. Navigate to Menu > Settings > Factory Reset.<br />
<br />
Performing a factory reset will erase all network profiles, user settings, and throttle settings. After performing a factory reset, you will need to re-enter your WiFi connection information as outlined in the section “First-Time Setup.”</div>Jordanhttps://docs.tcsdcc.com/index.php?title=UWT-100_Main_Menu&diff=4278UWT-100 Main Menu2020-03-04T21:49:42Z<p>Jordan: Moved page from stagingtcsdcc:en:UWT-100 Main Menu (history)</p>

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Universal WiFi Throttle]]<br />
It is common for operators to create and disband Multiple Unit “MU” consists during operating sessions. The [[UWT-100]] features a simple method for quickly creating and managing consists that is completely self-contained in the throttle. This method is known as “in-throttle” consisting which operates independently of the command station. In-throttle consisting can be used in conjunction with or independently of decoder-based “advanced” consists.<br />
<br />
The UWT-100 consisting system is capable of controlling the speed, direction, and functions for all locomotives within a consist. The UWT-100 can also select JMRI-created and managed consists.<br />
<br />
Our consisting system features “in-cab control” which allows the user to select the lead locomotive of the consist, effectively putting you “in the cab” as an operator. The Enter button can be used to quickly page through consist members and select the active cab.<br />
<br />
===Managing Consists===<br />
<br />
When a consist is created, the current cab address will become the first member of that consist. The following options in the “Consisting” menu can be used to manage consists.<br />
<br />
'''Add Loco To Consist''' - Enter the address of the locomotive to be added, or select from a list. Pressing the Enter button changes the direction of the locomotive being added to the consist.<br />
<br />
'''View Current Consist''' - Shows all members of current consist and their direction within the consist. Selecting a locomotive from the consist provides options to switch to that cab, remove that member, or change direction.<br />
<br />
'''Clear Current Consist''' - Disbands the consist, returning all locomotives to independent operation.<br />
<br />
'''Consist Functions''' - Determines what functions are assigned to the consist or to the selected cab.</div>Jordanhttps://docs.tcsdcc.com/index.php?title=Yard_Mode&diff=4276Yard Mode2020-03-04T21:48:38Z<p>Jordan: Moved page from stagingtcsdcc:en:Yard Mode (history)</p>

[[File:Yardmode-drivewindow.jpg|thumb|UWT-100 Drive Window displaying Yard Mode "Y" indicator]]<br />
[[File:Yard Mode in Operations Menu.jpg|thumb|Yard Mode option in Operations menu]]<br />
Yard Mode is a special operations mode of the [[UWT-100]] that is suited especially for switching movements. Yard Mode allows users to quickly and conveniently switch between a slow forward speed, a stopped locomotive, and a slow backward speed without managing individual speed steps. Users may adjust the speed at which their locomotive travels, select between two different speeds for each direction, and quickly stop the locomotive when needed.<br />
[[File:Yard Mode Fast 20.jpg|thumb|UWT-100 Drive Window with fast increment forward set to speed step 20 in Yard Mode]]<br />
To enable or disable Yard Mode, select “Yard Mode” in the “Operations” menu. When you are in Yard Mode, the direction indicator on the Drive Window will show a letter “Y” instead of an arrow. To drive the locomotive forward, press and hold the single or double up chevron button. Your locomotive will drive forward as long as the button is held down. To drive in reverse, press and hold the single or double down chevron button. Releasing the button will return the speed to zero and your locomotive will come to a stop.<br />
<br />
===Latching===<br />
Users may “latch” or lock-in the current direction and speed of their locomotive by quickly double pressing any of the four buttons. This can be useful if an operator needs to operate locomotive functions or drive for a longer distance. The locomotive will maintain speed and direction until any button is pressed again, releasing the latch.<br />
<br />
===Speed Adjustment===<br />
Yard Mode default speeds can be changed during operation. Use the scroll wheel while holding a chevron button or while the locomotive is latched to increase or decrease the speed of the locomotive. Both speeds can be adjusted independently. Your speed adjustments for Yard Mode will be retained until the throttle is powered off.<br />
<br />
The default speed of Yard Mode for the single chevrons is the same as the Fast Increment speed of the throttle, and the double chevrons default to twice that speed. This can be changed in the “Drive Settings” menu.<br />

<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Desktop Engineering Programming and Operations Tool (or, 'DEPOT') software is a suite of programming tools from TCS.<br />
<br />
As you might have gathered from the name, this is a one-stop solution for TCS decoders, throttles, and other trackside devices. Once the DEPOT is downloaded to a user's computer, it can communicate with your layout, throttles, and decoders via WiFi or USB connections, in the same way as JMRI and other model railroad software applications.<br />
<br />
Inside the DEPOT, you'll find specific programming tools for custom sound decoder programming, throttle firmware upgrades, sound downloads, operations tools, and much more. Moving beyond the core components, we will continue to roll out new features as users request them.<br />
<br />
This software suite is designed to expand out and offer additional throttle and decoder tools as they are created.<br />
<br />
===System Requirements===<br />
The DEPOT currently is compatible with Windows systems running Windows 7 or better. Mac and Linux versions are in development and will be released before the first UWT-100 update is available.<br />
<br />
===Version History===<br />
TCS DEPOT v0.1.11 (64.1 MB) | 01/01/2020<br />
<br />
===Download===<br />

<hr />
<div>== Overview ==<br />
There are two network connections that the throttle must make in order to communicate to your command station: A WiFi connection and a Server connection.<br />
<br />
*WiFi - The WiFi connection is your access point, router, or WiFi device.<br />
<br />
*Server - A server functions as the translator between your throttle and command station. This is often a computer running a JMRI WiThrottle protocol server.<br />
<br />
Tip: Some devices like Digitrax LNWI and MRC WiFi Module function as both the WiFi and the Server simultaneously.<br />

== Troubleshooting the WiFi connection ==<br />
This section will help you troubleshoot your network connection after a “No WiFi found” error. If no WiFi is found, there are a few likely causes:<br />
<br />
Problem: Your router or WiFi network is not turned on or is otherwise inoperational.<br />
<br />
Solution: Restart your WiFi device or router, and check for error messages or warning lights.<br />
<br />
Problem: You have not yet connected to a WiFi network.<br />
<br />
Solution: Follow the steps in the Connecting to a WiFi section to establish a connection.<br />
<br />
Problem: Your WiFi password was entered incorrectly.<br />
<br />
Solution: You will see the “Wrong WiFi Password” prompt. Double-check and re-enter your password.<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting the Server Connection ==<br />
<br />
This section will help you troubleshoot your server connection in the event the 'Server not found' prompt is displayed.<br />
<br />
Problem: Throttle cannot connect to JMRI WiThrottle server.<br />
<br />
Solution: Reboot your computer and command station, open JMRI, and start the WiThrottle server [Top menu: Actions > Start WiThrottle server]. Once complete, select "Try Again" on the throttle. If you are running JMRI on a Windows PC, make sure JMRI is allowed through the Windows Firewall or the throttle will not connect.<br />
<br />
Problem: Command station does not respond to throttle input.<br />
<br />
Solution: If your throttle is on and appears to be operational, but there is no response from your command station, restart the command station and check your power and data connections.<br />
<br />
Problem: The wrong connection mode is selected. <br />
<br />
Solution: Use the menu option labeled 'Auto-detect LCC/WT' or 'Change LCC/WT Mode' and select the correct connection mode. An asterisk (*) will appear next to the active mode.<br />
<br />
Tip: Until TCS releases the Command Station, JMRI, LNWI, and all other potential connections communicate via the WiThrottle protocol. If your connection mode is set to "LCC" for the connection to your layout, change this to "WT" for WiThrottle protocol. LCC mode will be directly supported by the TCS Command Station and other LCC devices, and is currently used for throttle firmware updates with the TCS DEPOT software.<br />
<br />
Problem: mDNS failed to find the WiThrottle server.<br />
<br />
Solution: MDNS is a WiFi protocol which is used to automatically load the IP address and Port number of a server connection. mDNS does not work with all WiFI networks and can fail. If you use phone apps, you may be familiar with manually entering the IP address and Port number of your JMRI WiThrottle server. The UWT-100 is also capable of doing this. Select "Set IP address" from the 'Server not found' menu and set the IP address and port number as indicated on your WiThrottle protocol server window in JMRI. After entering the IP address and Port number once, the throttle will retain this information when reconnecting in future sessions.<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting an LNWI Connection ==<br />
<br />
If you are unable to establish a connection with your LNWI device, follow the steps below:<br />
<br />
1. As simple as this sounds, turning the LNWI device off and on again will often solve connection issues.<br />
<br />
2. Ensure that the number of connections to a specific LNWI devoce is not greater than four. LNWI devices have a limit of four connected devices at one time - including phones running apps like WiThrottle and Engine Driver. Turn off or disconnect one of the devices connected to the LNWI and see if the problem disappears.<br />
<br />
3. Check that your saved LNWI device is turned on. In situations where there are multiple LNWI devices in use, the throttle may be configured to connect to one that is not available.</div>Jordanhttps://docs.tcsdcc.com/index.php?title=Layout_Command_Control_(LCC)&diff=4273Layout Command Control (LCC)2020-03-04T21:47:15Z<p>Jordan: Moved page from stagingtcsdcc:en:Layout Command Control (LCC) (history)</p>
<hr />
<div>Layout Command Control® or "LCC" is an emerging [[NMRA]] standard that provides for a supplementary system to control all non-locomotive layout functions. Signals, layout sounds, and passenger car lighting are several examples of functions that are controlled via LCC. <br />
<br />
While [[Digital Command Control]] or "DCC" has grown in popularity, the capacity of the DCC command bus has remained the same. Users are finding that significant delays can occur between when a command is issued and when it reaches its decoder. This delay can cause problems and operational incidents that could be easily avoided with a larger capacity bus, which is where LCC comes in. Routing all the non-locomotive commands through the LCC bus allows the DCC bus to traffic locomotive commands quickly.<br />
<br />
The LCC bus is "bi-directional" meaning that LCC devices (nodes) on the bus can both receive commands and reply to them, which opens up the possibility of many new features for LCC-equipped layouts.<br />
<br />
'''Development'''<br />
<br />
A group known as OpenLCB has been developing and overseeing the creation and adoption of Layout Command Control. You can find the details of their work, process, organization and even how to participate on their development process at their website located at: https://openlcb.org/.<br />

== LCC Products from TCS ==<br />
===UWT-100===<br />
The [[UWT-100]] Universal WiFi Throttle from TCS was designed to communicate with LCC networks via WiFi, in addition to communication via the [[WiThrottle protocol]].<br />
<br />
===Command Station===<br />
TCS is currently developing a command station that provides hardwire LCC bus connections. This will be the first commercially-available LCC command station and works directly with the currently-available UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle. </div>Jordanhttps://docs.tcsdcc.com/index.php?title=Universal_WiFi_Throttle_-_DCC_System_Compatibility&diff=4272Universal WiFi Throttle - DCC System Compatibility2020-03-04T21:46:49Z<p>Jordan: Moved page from stagingtcsdcc:en:UWT-100 DCC System Compatibility (history)</p>
<hr />
<div>If you're using a DCC system on your home our club layout, the chances are good there is an existing method (direct from that manufacturer or otherwise) for connecting it to JMRI for programming purposes. If your system can connect to JMRI, the UWT-100 can be used to control it by way of a JMRI WiThrottle protocol server. <br />

The UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle can be connected to NCE DCC systems in a variety of ways. Several options are listed below.<br />
==Connecting to NCE systems==<br />
<br />
===NCE USB Interface===<br />
The NCE USB Interface provides a connection to a computer from your NCE DCC system. This allows users to program and operate from a computer using software.<br />
<br />
[https://www.ncedcc.com/online-store/USB-Interface-for-Power-Cab-p38322160 NCE USB Device Product Page]<br />
<br />
'''Drivers'''<br />
<br />
Non-Windows users may need to install additional drivers for their system to recognize the NCE USB Interface. You can find [https://ncedcc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200590919-USB-Driver-Download-and-Installation-Instructions- download and installation instructions] on the NCE webpage. USB drivers for the NCE Power Cab USB board can be downloaded from [https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx Silicon Labs].<br />
<br />
===PowerHouse Pro===<br />
The NCE PowerHouse Pro has a RS-232 port. Connect that port to your computer by using any off-the-shelf USB to RS-232 cable. Once the PowerHouse Pro connected via USB, start a JMRI WiThrottle server and connect with your UWT-100.<br />
<br />
===WifiTrax WFD-30===<br />
The WFD-30 device from WifiTrax provides true WiFi control of your layout using and existing NCE DCC system. The WFD-30 is NCE CAB Bus-compatible and will work with any NCE Command Station (Power Pro, Smart Booster, Power Cab, etc). The unit acts as a WiThrottle server using the WiThrottle protocol, just like JMRI, with optional loco roster and turnout list.<br />
<br />
There is no need to install JMRI or other third-party WiThrottle protocol client - just connect the WFD-30 to your NCE system, power up your throttle, scan for WiFi, and connect to the WFD-30 device. <br />

<br />
===PR4 Interface===<br />
The Digitrax PR4 is a USB to LocoNet Interface with Decoder Programmer. This can be used to establish a connection between your Digitrax system LocoNet and a computer running JMRI.<br />
<br />
From Digitrax: "The PR4 makes decoder programming and interfacing your layout and computer easier than ever. The PR4 seamlessly switches between computer interface and decoder programming modes automatically without having to press any buttons. The PR4 is electrically isolated between USB and LocoNet for added stability and protection. Packaged in a smaller footprint the PR4 offers all the same great features as the PR3 it replaces."<br />
<br />
[https://www.digitrax.com/products/computer-control/pr4/ Link to PR4 Product Page]<br />
<br />
===PR3/PR3XTRA Interface===<br />
The Digitrax PR4 is a USB to LocoNet Interface with Decoder Programmer. Though the PR3 and PR3XTRA devices have been replaced by the PR4 interface from Digitrax, they can still be used to establish a connection between your Digitrax system LocoNet and a computer running JMRI, and are compatible with the UWT-100 for WiFi control.<br />
<br />
From Digitrax: "The PR3 lets SoundFX users download new Project sound files and even reflash the sound decoder's firmware for latest updates. It also acts as a computer interface and LocoNet Translator for your PC. The PR3 is the most economical computer Interface we offer, it has all the functionality of a PR2 and a MS100 combined in one. Finally it functions on the more modern USB 2.0 interface making it easier to connect and more friendly to newer PCs."<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Universal WiFi Throttle]]<br />
[[Category:NCE]]<br />
The UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle can be connected to NCE DCC systems in a variety of ways. Several options are listed below.<br />
==Connecting to NCE systems==<br />
<br />
===NCE USB Interface===<br />
The NCE USB Interface provides a connection to a computer from your NCE DCC system. This allows users to program and operate from a computer using software.<br />
<br />
[https://www.ncedcc.com/online-store/USB-Interface-for-Power-Cab-p38322160 NCE USB Device Product Page]<br />
<br />
'''Drivers'''<br />
<br />
Non-Windows users may need to install additional drivers for their system to recognize the NCE USB Interface. You can find [https://ncedcc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200590919-USB-Driver-Download-and-Installation-Instructions- download and installation instructions] on the NCE webpage. USB drivers for the NCE Power Cab USB board can be downloaded from [https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx Silicon Labs].<br />
<br />
===PowerHouse Pro===<br />
The NCE PowerHouse Pro has a RS-232 port. Connect that port to your computer by using any off-the-shelf USB to RS-232 cable. Once the PowerHouse Pro connected via USB, start a JMRI WiThrottle server and connect with your UWT-100.<br />
<br />
===WifiTrax WFD-30===<br />
The WFD-30 device from WifiTrax provides true WiFi control of your layout using and existing NCE DCC system. The WFD-30 is NCE CAB Bus-compatible and will work with any NCE Command Station (Power Pro, Smart Booster, Power Cab, etc). The unit acts as a WiThrottle server using the WiThrottle protocol, just like JMRI, with optional loco roster and turnout list.<br />
<br />
There is no need to install JMRI or other third-party WiThrottle protocol client - just connect the WFD-30 to your NCE system, power up your throttle, scan for WiFi, and connect to the WFD-30 device. <br />

<hr />
<div>If you're using a DCC system on your home our club layout, the chances are good there is an existing method (direct from that manufacturer or otherwise) for connecting it to JMRI for programming purposes. If your system can connect to JMRI, the UWT-100 can be used to control it by way of a JMRI WiThrottle protocol server. <br />

<hr />
<div>Layout Command Control® or "LCC" is an emerging [[NMRA]] standard that provides for a supplementary system to control all non-locomotive layout functions. Signals, layout sounds, and passenger car lighting are several examples of functions that are controlled via LCC. <br />
<br />
While [[Digital Command Control]] or "DCC" has grown in popularity, the capacity of the DCC command bus has remained the same. Users are finding that significant delays can occur between when a command is issued and when it reaches its decoder. This delay can cause problems and operational incidents that could be easily avoided with a larger capacity bus, which is where LCC comes in. Routing all the non-locomotive commands through the LCC bus allows the DCC bus to traffic locomotive commands quickly.<br />
<br />
The LCC bus is "bi-directional" meaning that LCC devices (nodes) on the bus can both receive commands and reply to them, which opens up the possibility of many new features for LCC-equipped layouts.<br />
<br />
'''Development'''<br />
<br />
A group known as OpenLCB has been developing and overseeing the creation and adoption of Layout Command Control. You can find the details of their work, process, organization and even how to participate on their development process at their website located at: https://openlcb.org/.<br />

== LCC Products from TCS ==<br />
===UWT-100===<br />
The [[UWT-100]] Universal WiFi Throttle from TCS was designed to communicate with LCC networks via WiFi, in addition to communication via the [[WiThrottle protocol]].<br />
<br />
===Command Station===<br />
TCS is currently developing a command station that provides hardwire LCC bus connections. This will be the first commercially-available LCC command station and works directly with the currently-available UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle. <noinclude><br />
