<h1>Hardware Setup Support: Terminal Server Connection</h1>
<p>A <strong>Terminal Server</strong> is a box that connects
one or more serial ports to a network so they can be accessed
from a remote computer. JMRI running on a computer with a
network connection can connect to an EasyDCC or NCE Command
Station or C/MRI nodes via one of these. This allows you to
put the computer and layout as far apart as you'd like.

<h2>Supported Hardware</h2>
<p>This capability was originally created for david zuhn, who
has a <a href=
"http://stpaulterminal.org/software/jmri/lantronix.html">web
page</a> describing in detail how he set it up for
EasyDCC.</p>
<p>The NCE and C/MRI set up processes are
similar.</p><a name="connecting" id="connecting"></a>
<h2>Connecting</h2>To make this work, you have to configure
both JMRI and the Terminal Server, and make the appropriate
connections.
<h3>Settings</h3>
<ul>
<li>To configure JMRI:
<ul>
<li>Select the "Connections" tab in the "Preferences"
from the "Edit" menu</li>
<li>Select "Easy DCC" as the System Manufacturer</li>
<li>Select "EasyDCC over terminal server" as the System
Connection</li>
<li>Enter the IP address and TCP/UDP Port number
corresponding to the serial port on the terminal
server</li>
<li>Click "Save" & quit the program</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Configure the Terminal Server to connect to the command
station: 9600 baud, no parity, 8 bits.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Wiring</h3>
<ul>
<li>Connect a serial cable from the Terminal Server to the
Command Station. Depending on the type of the Terminal
Server, this might require that you wire a custom cable to
get the right connectors. Note that you want the "Transmit
data" wire on one end to connect to the "Receive data" on
the other. Do this for both directions, and also include a
ground wire.</li>
<li>Make the network connections needed.</li>
</ul>
<p>Start JMRI. If everything is OK, the application will
start and tell you on the splash screen it's properly
connected.</p>
