<h1>Hardware Support: Protrak Grapevine System</h1><a name=
"hardware" id="hardware"></a>
<h2>Supported Hardware</h2>
<h3>Modules</h3>
<ul>
<li>Protrak Grapevine Nodes (1-127)</li>
</ul><a name="limitations" id="limitations"></a>
<h2>Limitations</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fast Clocks are not yet supported. If you have one and
want to test it with JMRI, let us know.</li>
</ul>
<a name="connecting" id="connecting"></a>
<h2>Connecting</h2>
<h3>Settings</h3>
<p>To configure the connection:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open the JMRI "Preferences" under the "Edit" menu</li>
<li>On the Connections tab, select "Protrak" as the System
Manufacturer</li>
<li>As the System Connection select either
<ul>
<li>Grapevine (ProTrak) Layout Bus</li>
<li>Grapevine Simulator</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Click "Save" & restart</li>
</ul>
<p>Before you can access a Grapevine Node in JMRI, you have
to define it to the program. You can do this either from the
<a href=
"../../../package/apps/TabbedPreferences.shtml">Preferences
window</a> (under Edit in the main menu, click "Configure Nodes")
or using the <a href=
"../../../package/jmri/jmrix/grapevine/nodeconfig/NodeConfigFrame.shtml">
Configure Nodes</a> tool in the <strong>Grapevine</strong>
menu.</p>
<p>Grapevine Systems Names start with a system letter of "G".
After that, there's a <a href=
"../../doc/Technical/Names.shtml#type">type letter</a>, then
a node number and a pin number.<br>
Naming and input/output connectors are described on a
<a href="Names.shtml">separate page</a>.
