4. Operation with the mControl
The prerequisite for using the mControl in the EasyControl digital control is software version
V2.0.0 or higher for all connected devices (MasterControl, RedBox, mc² and other external
EasyControl control devices or adapters). If this is not the case, the mControl does not work
or does not work correctly. If necessary, carry out a software update for your the components
of the EasyControl digital system.
Sending switching and control commands
Enter the switching and control commands for the (vehicle and accessory) decoders according
to the operating instructions of the Märklin** devices. You can also control DCC decoders, as
the commands are not sent directly from the Märklin** devices but from the EasyControl
central unit to the decoders. It is also possible to control vehicle decoders that are set to 27,
28 or 128 speed levels.
