Restrictions
By itself, the Mobile Station WLAN is not sufficient to control a model
railroad. The 60117 WLAN Receiver Box with a 60114/60116 Track Box, or a
Central Station 2 or Central Station 3, which is operated in a suitable
network (with available WLAN), are absolutely required.
About These Instructions
These instructions refer to Software Version 4.0.0.1.
The Mobile Station WLAN is provided at regular intervals with updates. These
updates can also change the range of functions for the device. The differences
of newer software versions to the one described here will however be slight.
Accordingly, new instructions are not generated for each software version.
In the interest of clarity, we will dispense here with explaining all points
down to the last step. Rather, we will show only how the points are found and
called up.
Disposal
Notes about environment protection: Products identified with a trashcan with
an „X“ through it may not be disposed of at the end of their useful life with
the normal household trash. Rather, they must be taken to a collection point
for the recycling of electrical and electronic devices. The symbol on the
product, the operating instructions, or the packaging indicates this. The
materials in these products are reusable according to their identification.
Help us protect the environment and preserve resources, and take this device
free of charge to the appropriate recycling locations/dealers. The
organization responsible for trash separation or your specialty dealer can
answer questions about this.

-> search for the next letter. -
When the connection is completely set up, the Mobile Station WLAN searches for a suitable Central Station and connects to it
-
When the Mobile Station WLAN finds several Central Stations, it offers you a selection menu, which you can use to select the desired Central Station.
The settings that are found are stored in the Mobile Station WLAN. When both the selected WLAN and the selected Central Station are available when the Mobile Station WLAN is turned on, they do not have to be set up again.
Main Device and Expansion Device
When several locomotive controllers are connected at the same time to a model
railroad, it is obligatory that one device be the main device. This means that
all other devices are incorporated as expansion units.
Setup, recognition, and programming are done only through the main device. The
expansion device takes on all locomotives from the main device. The assignment
of main and expansion devices is done as follows.
(Lower serial number)
If the MS WLAN is operated in addition to several Central Stations, you can
set under „MSW Settings
– Select Main Controller“ which of the connected
Central Stations is to be the main controller.
Operation
Important Note:
When the model railroad is in operation, it cannot determine whether the
Mobile Station WLAN is always connected. If the connection breaks, or if the
Mobile Station WLAN shuts off (for example due to run down batteries), the
operation on the layout continues. The STOP button on the Mobile Station WLAN
is then also not functional.
Power On
Turn the Mobile Station WLAN on by pressing on the STOP button (> 1 second).
Power Off
There are various ways to turn the Mobile Station WLAN off:
– Press the STOP button (> 8 seconds)
– Press the buttons (> 5 seconds)
– Press the buttons (> 5 seconds)
Idle Mode
After several minutes without being operated the Mobile Station WLAN goes to a
dormant mode to preserve the batteries. It can be „woken up“ again by pressing
a button. The time until the dormant mode ends can be set in the menu „MSW
Settings – Preserving Power“.
The idle mode can be activated directly at any time by turning the Mobile
Station WLAN upside down. The duration until this shutting off takes place can
be set in the menu „MSW Settings – Shutoff Time“.
Configuration
When the Mobile Station WLAN is not connected to a WLAN, it provides a WLAN on
its own. Using this WLAN, you can access the Mobile Station from a PC or a
Smartphone.

Setting up a Locomotive
Locomotives must be set up in the Mobile Station
WLAN in order to be able to control them. Locomotives, which have been set up,
are displayed in the locomotive list.
You can select among locomotives displayed in the locomotive list by using
SHIFT + the control knob. Up to 40 locomotives can be set up in the locomotive
list. Additional locomotives overwrite the respective oldest one already set
up.
There are several ways to set up locomotives. These are described as follows.
Registering an mfx Locomotive
Place the locomotive (with mfx decoder) on the track.
The locomotive registers itself on its own after a short time. The newly
registered locomotive is displayed, added to the locomotive list, and it is
immediately ready to run.
Recognizing a Locomotive
The Mobile Station WLAN can find a locomotive (fx (MM) or DCC) standing on the
track and recognize it.
To do this, only this one locomotive may be standing on the track.
Also, mfx locomotives, which are not automatically registered, can be
registered by recognizing the locomotive.
Searching for an open storage location:
If a locomotive has not been recognized several times, then check to make sure that there is clean contact between the locomotive and the track.
Setting up a Locomotive from the Database
The Mobile Station WLAN has a database from which a locomotive can be
selected. The settings for the locomotive must then however be the same as
when the locomotive came from the factory.
Searching for an open storage location:
Setting up a Locomotive Manually
Locomotives not in the database can be set up manually. When doing this,
various things must be specified, for example, the address. The various points
are queried when setting up the locomotive.
Searching for an open storage location:
Running or Changing a Locomotive
Locomotive Functions
The respective current locomotive (shown in the display) can be controlled
using the control knob.
Changing the direction of travel is done by pressing on the control knob.
Functions for the locomotive can be activated using the function buttons.
These buttons can be occupied by more than one function in order to enable
more than 8 functions. The additional functions occupying a button are
accessed in combination with the SHIFT button.
Configuring or Removing a Locomotive
Various individual settings on the locomotive decoder or in the Mobile Station
WLAN can be programmed in this menu. They are:
– Name
– Address
– Symbol (for display in the Mobile Station)
– Functions
– Maximum and minimum speed
– Acceleration (Acc) and braking delay (Dec)
– Volume and sound functions (Vol)
– Number of speed levels (only DCC)
– Programming individual CVs (only DCC)
– Removing a locomotive (from the locomotive list)
– Resetting a locomotive (resetting the decoder)
Not all settings are possible on each decoder. For example, on a decoder with
coding switches the address can only be changed on the coding switches.
Please also note here the instructions for the locomotive or the decoder in
question. During programming, the locomotive can still be controlled using the
control knob so that the changed settings can be checked immediately.
Note: Only the locomotive in question can be standing on the track for programming of a locomotive decoder. Other locomotives must be removed.
Solenoid Items
Solenoid items can be switched in the Keyboard.
Solenoid items do not need to be set up. They can be switched immediately
using the address.
Turning Protocols On/Off
The protocols for switching solenoid items are independent of the protocols
for running a locomotive.
Switching Solenoid Items
320 addresses (MM or DCC) are displayed with standard symbols for solenoid
items.
When the Mobile Station is connected to a Central Station, the solenoid items
are displayed with the symbols used there (exceptions: turntable and color
light signals. Color light signals are shown as semaphore signals, the
turntable with the standard symbols for solenoid items).
The last locomotive called up will continue to be displayed on the lower edge
of the display. You can
Changing to the Keyboard:
Tip:
When you press the button and hold it pressed down, you can browse faster
through the Keyboard.
Web-Interface
When the Mobile Station WLAN is not connected to a router or the 60117 WLAN
Box, you can access the Mobile Station from a PC (with WLAN) or a Smartphone.
Address: 192.168.1.1
or: msw.local
Several settings can be done on the device in the user interface shown in the
browser. Among other things, a previously downloaded update for the Mobile
Station WLAN can also be recorded here.
Even if the WLAN mobile station is connected to a router or a WLAN receiver
box 60117, the web interface can be accessed. To do this, the current address
must first be read in the WLAN settings of the WLAN mobile station under
„Display WLAN“. The device used to access the web interface must be on the
same network as the WLAN mobile station.
