<h1>Hardware Support: JMRI Tools for LocoNet®
Devices</h1>
<p>JMRI software provides a variety of tools to support
hardware connected to the LocoNet® bus. These tools
provide a variety of features, such as monitoring status,
reading and writing configuration. Each of the tools provides
a set of features which is appropriate to the type of device
it supports, as summarized in the table below. <a name=
"tools" id="tools"></a></p>
<h2>JMRI LocoNet Tools</h2>Access to the LocoNet Tools is
from the <strong>LocoNet</strong> menu that appears when JMRI
is <a href="Digitrax.shtml#Setup">connected to a
LocoNet®</a>-based DCC system, or to a <a href="StandaloneLocoNet.shtml">
Standalone LocoNet</a>.
<p>In the table below, each tool name is a link to a
tool-specific help page.</p>

The JMRI Roster allows users to configure these devices in
approximately the same way as the standalone tool. The Roster method
has the advantage that the user may save the each individual device's
settings to a unique file on the computer's storage media, and later
read from the computer's storage media for restoring the individual
device's saved settings.</td></tr>
<tr><td><a name="TableNote2" id="TableNote2">Note 2</a></td><td colspan="6">
The JMRI Roster mechanism does not allow configuration of the
turnout numbers which control the DS64 output, and cannot access
in any way the DS64 "Routes".</td></tr>
<tr><td><a name="TableNote3" id="TableNote3">Note 3</a></td><td colspan="6">
Configuring these devices is only possible when the device is
acting as the command station. The specific LocoNet mechanism
used by both the Roster mechanisms and by the "Command Station
Configuration" tool cannot perform configuration operations on these
devices when they are acting in "booster" mode.</td></tr>
<tr><td><a name="TableNote4" id="TableNote4">Note 4</a></td><td colspan="6">
The Roster mechanism can access the various known OpSw settings
for these command stations where the "Configure Command Station" tool
can only access those OpSw settings which were implemented in
previous command stations. The Roster mechanism is strongly
preferred for these command station models.</td></tr>
<tr><td><a name="TableNote5" id="TableNote5">Note 5</a></td><td colspan="6">
Using this tool can have an effect on both the Duplex radio
settings (if one or more UR92 is present on LocoNet) <strong>and</strong>
the some aspects of LNWI configuration (if one or more LNWI is
present on LocoNet). See the <a href="../../../package/jmri/jmrix/loconet/duplexgroup/DuplexGroupTabbedPanel.shtml#LNWISideEffects">
Duplex Group Configuration Tool</a> help page discussion of its
influence on the LNWI settings for more information.</td></tr>
<tr><td><a name="TableNote6" id="TableNote6">Note 6</a></td><td colspan="6">
The Firmware Download tool can only update those devices which
use firmware which is provided in the original firmware format.
Newer Digitrax devices use a different firmware format and require
a different firmware update methodology which is not currently
supported in JMRI.</td></tr>
