7.4.3 JMRI Based Configuration
The same options as described above are available through the JMRI configuration menu. JMRI
configuration works independently of the WiFi mode if JMRI is connected through the LCC cable. If you
want to connect JMRI through the WiFi interface, use the instructions under Web Server Based
Configuration to determine the IP address of the CS-105. Use this IP address and port number 12021 for
the JMRI Connection Profile.
7.4.4 WPS Based Configuration
If supported by your router, you can press the “WPS” button to attempt an automatic pairing between the
router and command station. See the instructions under “Push Button Configuration Mode” section “WPS”
subsection.
7.4.5 IP address changes
When using the CS-105 in WiFi Client mode, the CS-105 uses an IP address assigned by your WiFi router.
TCS throttles can typically detect the presence of the CS-105, but remember the last IP address for faster
connection. JMRI profiles have to be set up explicitly with the IP address. When your network router
changes the IP address of the CS-105, you might experience unexpected disruptions.
For this reason, it is recommended to set your WiFi router to always assign a fixed (static) IP address to the
command station. Refer to the administrative interface of your WiFi router to do this.
7.5 System Configuration
It is possible to configure all of the settings of the device through a TCS throttle, either wired or wireless, or
through JMRI, also either wired or wireless. The configuration process for the WiFi is described above. In
addition to WiFi configuration, you can also change other settings which are detailed in the sub-sections
below. To access the configuration options for the CS-105 through a TCS throttle, first enter the menu, then
navigate to 8 Settings > 2 DCC System Settings.
You can find a complete flowchart of the menu structure on our website. You can also refer to the help text
for any menu option through the built-in help function of the throttle available by using the [?] button. JMRI
displays the help text for every setting.
7.5.1 User Info Settings
The User Info Settings may be used to change the display name and description of the device as it appears
on a network. You can give your system a friendly name, such as “Joe” and a description, such as “My new
favorite command station”.
