Setting Duplex Group Name:
You can use the DT402D to edit the UR92’s
Duplex Group name to one you choose. This change is optional, and the UR92
factory default will work out of the box with no change. You should have all
UR92s connected to the layout before changing the Duplex Group Name or
they will automatically renegotiate and may change the preferred name to a
default.
1. Connect the DT402D to the front RJ12 jack of any UR92 on the LocoNet.
2. On the DT402D press the
OPTN
key and then the
eDIT
key.
3. The 8 character Duplex Group name will appear in the display center.
4. Use the
R
Throttle knob to change the first character value. It will blink as
it is changed. When the desired character is seen, use the
L
Throttle knob to
move across and select a character to modify.
5. Press the
eNTeR
key to update the current displayed characters as the new
UR92 Duplex Group Name. To skip making any changes, simply press the
eXIT
key.
6. After changing the Duplex Goup Name, your other DT402Ds will need to
rejoin to use this new Group Name.
Note:
As long as Duplex Group Name
is unique, it is generally possible to run dozens of different layouts on the
same channel number in close proximity.
Setting the Duplex Group Channel:
You can use this capability to move the
duplex channel away from signal interference caused by other devices.
1. Connect the DT402D to the front RJ12 jack of any UR92 on LocoNet.
2. On the DT402D press the
OPTN
key and then the
eDIT
key. The Group
channel number (11-26) will now show in the lower left hand side of the
display.
3. Use the
Y / +
key to change to a higher channel in the available range of 11
through 26. The
N / -
key will change to a lower channel.
4. Press the
eNTeR
key to update the currently displayed channel as the new
UR92 channel to be used with the Duplex Group Name.
5. After changing the channel all DT402Ds will have to rejoin to use this new
channel. To skip making any changes, simply press the
eXIT
key.
Note:
If you suspect a Wireless LAN or other device is causing interference
and limiting range, you can change the channel as above, and search
through all available 16 channels to find one that gives the best coverage.
See additional resources at www.digitrax.com. There are additional utilities to
let you scan the layout environment for any signals using the installed
UR92’s as scanners and to easily update your Duplex Group name, channel
and to set up a Password to protect your Group from unauthorized access.
