## Connecting

### Settings

To configure the connection:

#### ESU/EcoS via network

- Open the JMRI "Preferences" under the "Edit" menu (or the PanelPro menu on OS X)
- Select "ESU" as the System Manufacturer
- Select "ECoS via network" as the System Connection
- Enter the IP address for your DR5000 unit
- You may optionally change the connection name to "Digikeijs"
- Leave the port number at 15471
- Click "Save" & restart

#### Digitrax/LocoNet

Providing that the Digikeijs DR5000 unit has been configured to use "LocoNet over TCP/IP LBServer" protocol (Firmware version 1.3.0 when writing this documentation)

- Open the JMRI "Preferences" under the "Edit" menu (or the PanelPro menu on OS X)
- Select Digitrax as the System Manufacturer
- Select "LocoNet over TCP" as the System Connection
- Enter the IP address for your DR5000 unit
- Select whatever as Command station type (DCS210 Evolution Command Station)
- Under Additional Connection settings, set port to 5550 if you use an original Digikeijs DR5000. Set port to 1234 if you use a YaMoRC Command Station or a Digikeijs DR5000 with YaMoRC Upgrade 9401.

#### Via USB

First, make sure your computer has the correct USB drivers installed.

Then, set the JMRI connection preferences to:

- System Manufacturer: Digitrax
- System connection: LocoNet LocoBuffer-USB
- Serial Port: (as needed for your USB connection)
- Command station type DSC100 (Chief)

Turnout, Sensor, Signal and Throttle support is available for a JMRI-connected DR5000 unit.

### Throttles

### Sensors

The S88 bus on the DR5000 (whether in use or not) is configured by default to think it has one 16-channel input device connected. The S88 and LocoNet busses apparently share addresses. Whenever an input from LS0 to LS15 goes HIGH on LocoNet, the S88 bus says 'NOPE'. The resulting LOW signal is in turn broadcast onto the LocoNet bus. Set the number of connected S88 units to zero in the (Windows) configuration application. (thanks to Steve R. Jan. 2018)

The Digikeijs DR4088LN and DR50018RC decoders can report occupancy state via LocoNet.
The DR5088RC handles RailCom and is configurable via LNCV programming.

### Turnouts

The Digikeijs DR4018 decoder can drive turnouts with several protocols.
The DR4024 can drive 4 servos.
Both are configurable in DecoderPro as a roster entry at address 9999.

### Signals

The Digikeijs DR4018 decoder can be configured for signaling using DecoderPro.
To configure the signal Masts, use the Matrix Signal Mast driver.
The Add Mast settings are:
