<h1>Hardware Support: Fleischmann/Roco z21/Z21</h1>
<p>The Roco z21/Z21 is a command station with support for
LocoNet, R-Bus and XPressNet devices and it includes a built
in Ethernet port. The device is also sold under the
Fleischmann name.</p>
<p>For connection to the device via the Loconet or XPressNet
interface, please see the <a href=
"../../loconet/">LocoNet</a> and <a href=
"../../XPressNet/">XPressNet</a> connection pages.</p>
<p>This page specifies connection to the z21/Z21 via the
Ethernet port as documented on the <a href=
"http://www.z21.eu/en/Downloads">Z21 website</a>)</p>

<h2>Supported Hardware</h2>
<p>Roco has two devices it sells as the White Z21 and
the Black Z21. The White Z21 is also sometimes referred to as
the z21. Both devices support connections via the Ethernet
Port, to R-Bus Devices, and to XPressNet devices. The Black
Z21 also supports connections via LocoNet and Zimo's CAN
bus.</p>
<a name="Limitations" id="Limitations"></a>
<h2>Limitations</h2>
<div class="list">
<dl>
<dt class="left">JMRI</dt>
<dd class="first">
<p>JMRI Currently supports the Z21 XPressNet over
Ethernet implementation. JMRI also provides support for
configuring connection flags and the Z21 RailCom
interface.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="left">White Z21</dt>
<dd>
<p>The White z21 does not provide access to the LocoNet
interface.</p>
<p>The White z21 does not include a seperate
programming track output. It is unclear as to whether
or not reading decoder values in service mode is
possible.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="left">Black Z21</dt>
<dd>
<p>There are no known limitations of the Black Z21 at
this time.</p>

<h2>Connecting</h2><a name="RocoZ21Ethernet" id=
"RocoZ21Ethernet"></a>
<h3>Connecting to the Roco z21 or Z21 via the Ethernet
connection</h3><b>Note: The first JMRI release supporting the
Lenz LIUSB Ethernet connection was v 3.11.7.</b>
<ol>
<li>To connect your computer to either the z21 or Z21 via
Ethernet port, connect your z21/Z21 to your computer
Network using the supplied Ethernet cable.<br></li>
<li>Once the device is connected, refer to the device
documentation for information on setting the IP address.
The default IP address is 192.168.0.111. Make note of the
IP address for use when configuring the device.</li>
<li>Start one of the JMRI-based programs, Then go to the
preferences panel. This opens automatically the first time
a program is run, or you can select it from the "Edit"
menu.</li>
<li>Select "Roco" from the system manufacturer selection
box and "Roco Z21" from the top selection box. There are
two configuration options available for the
LIUSB-Ethernet.</li>
<li>Enter the IP address you saved earlier into the box
labeled "IP Address/Host Name"</li>
<li>Click "Save". You'll be asked if it's OK for the
program to quit, click "Yes".</li>
<li>Restart the program. You should be up and running.</li>
</ol>

<h3>Connecting to the Roco Z21 Simulator</h3>
<ol>
<li>Start one of the JMRI-based programs, Then go to the
preferences panel. This opens automatically the first time
a program is run, or you can select it from the "Edit"
menu.</li>
<li>Select "Roco" from the system manufacturer selection
box and "Z21 Simulator" from the system connection
selection box. There are no additional configuration steps
required to use the Z21 Simulator.</li>
<li>Click "Save". You'll be asked if it's OK for the
program to quit, click "Yes".</li>
<li>Restart the program. You should be up and running.</li>

<h2>JMRI z21/Z21 Tools</h2>
<p>The following tools are available from the menu when this
connection is active:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open Z21 Monitor - This tool allows you to monitor
traffic to and from the Z21.</li>
<li>Send Z21 Command</li>
<li>Z21 Configuration tool - This tool allows you to check
and set the Z21 flags related to this connection. Flags are
set automatically by certain services JMRI starts, such as
the Z21 XPressNet connection.</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition to the Z21 specific menu, you will also find
the Z21XPressNet menu, which contains the same XPressNet
tools found on any XPressNet system.</p>
