JMRI YD7001 network communication not working

 

I recently upgraded my DR5000 to YD7001. Upgrade went well, all local features for YD7001 working correctly.

However, I cannot get JMRI to interface with the YD7001 over the network (this worked flawlessly with the DR5000).
JMRI does not show any errors on startup, and appears to make the connection.

Once connected:
  • The track power status is unknown. And does not work to toggle track power.
  • Selecting a loco using JMRI throttle just times out.
  • Trying to read from the programming track times out.

Am able to ping the YD7001 from my JMRI computer, so I do not think it is a low level networking problem.
Also I am able to use the YD7001 configuration software using the network connection.

My connection configuration is shown below. Any insight would be appreciated.

Christian,

On the YD7001 LAN window (first in your post), on the Basic tab you need to enable the LocoNet LBServer. On the Expert tab you need to set the LocoNet LBServer timeout to zero.

In the JMRI configuration for LocoNet connection you need to make sure that the TCP/UDP Port equals what is set on the YD7001 LAN Expert tab window for the LocoNet LBServer.

It is also advisable to ensure that the IP Address for the YD7001 will not change as this is hard coded in your JMRI configuration. There are various ways to do this, i.e. in your router or setting to static in the YD7001 (assuming this is a free address in your network).

Regards,
Bob Gamble

Thanks Bob,

Very helpful. Will reconfigure later today.?
I am hardcoding the address until I get things working, then I will use mDNS.

FYI. Configured the system as described by Bob Gamble below. Worked like a charm.
Thanks again.

On the Expert tab you need to set the LocoNet LBServer timeout to zero

did this also solve your disconnects Bob ??
 

I wanted to wait a day or two to answer, but so far so good. I had one disconnect after the change but wanted to do a cold start just to ensure it wasn't some residual stuff. I did have it stay connected for several hours without any problem.
