Product Support for: Wireless -> LocoNet WiFi Interface (LNWI)

What is an LnWi? The Digitrax LnWi module is a 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11 b/g/n (Wifi) Wireless Access Point type of device that logically bridges access from compatible external throttle APP(s) running on mobile tablet or smart phones onto a Digitrax LocoNet. The LnWi is an independent method for Digitrax users to control locomotives, and can be used at the same time as e.g. Digitrax Duplex or Simplex Wireless, and IR/wired throttles and other Wifi LocoNet access devices on the same system it is wired to. The design goal for the LnWi was to make it very easy for a Digitrax user ...

LNWI Security Considerations: Enabling and Customizing WPA2 Security The LNWI has the option of enabling WPA2 security to require a passcode to connect to the LNWI SSID.  The primary purpose of this passcode is to limit access to the LNWI in a public setting.  This is designed to operate in a similar function to the passcode options for Digitrax Duplex Radio. Using an unsecured connection poses minimal threat to LocoNet access as the LNWI only utilizes a limited number of LocoNet commands.  The LNWI does not have access to programming capabilities or other advanced LocoNet capabilities on your layout.  No ...

  This document outlines the power requirements for Digitrax LocoNet accessories.  To simplify wiring, Digitrax recommends providing individual power supplies for like accessories.  For example a power supply or power buss which only powers the PM42s.  A power supply or power buss used solely to power multiple DS64s.  UR9x and UP5 panels can be daisy chained provided adequate current is provided to properly power all the panels.  Through the use of individual power supplies, the chance of Ground Loops or sneak paths back to ground is minimized.  Using individual power supplies will also make troubleshooting much easier.  Many Digitrax LocoNet ...
