1. What is PhoneControl?
The PhoneControl is an adapter for connecting a commercial cordless telephone to the digital
model railway controller EasyControl. It allows you to use the telephone´s hand set as external
cordless control device. The adapter is connected to the EasyNet in addition to the central unit
MasterControl.
The PhoneControl receives the control instructions from the cordless telephone and sends them to
the MasterControl which passes on the instructions to the various decoders (locomotive, function,
points or switching decoder) on your layout. The PhoneControl does not allow access to data in
the locomotive database of the MasterControl or changing of the data.
The following cordless telephones do not operate with the PhoneControl:
