Hi,
I'm new in the group. Since one week I have a DR5000. All it's ok connecting through USB. But when I change to network, both? LAN or wifi, the Systems do not answers. If we see to the log window it appears the following message:? Need Lan protocol be set to Dr. Command?
I have verified that:

- java is the correct one 64bits last Windows release
- ip adress (192.168.1.27 in my case) is correct and anwering ping
- COM ports ok (COM4 - Dr. command / COM5 - XpressNet / COM6 - Loconet)
- DR5000 protocol Z21 with wifi and XpressNet with LAN

Well at this point Im stoped :)

Regards from Barcelona

Francesc,

Remember that if the DR5000 can only run 1 protocol via the WiFi or LAN at a time.

If you are running Z21 protocol then the DR5000 will need to be connected to the PC via USB if you want to use the PC App.

The PC App can only be ran wirelessly with the DR Command protocol.?

Other apps like JMRI, RocRail, Etc... can also be ran wirelessly to the PC.??

I hope that answers your question.

Hi, thanks for your reply. It has been very useful to understand how it works. The result of what I have tested is the following one:

?

App DR 5000	?	?	Train Controler	?	App Z21 Wifi
Connect via	Protocol	DS Answer	Digital system	DS Answer	DS Answer
USB	whatever except Z21	Yes	Loconet (com loconet) Lenz D+ / USB (com Xnet)	Yes	No
USB	Z21	Yes	Loconet (com loconet) Lenz D+ / USB (com Xnet)	Yes	Yes
Network LAN (cable RJ45)	XpressNet LAN	No	Loconet (com loconet) Lenz D+ / USB (com Xnet)	Yes	No
Network Wifi (wireless)	XpressNet LAN	No	Lenz D+ / USB (com Xnet)	Yes	No
	Dr. Command	Yes	whatever	No	No
	Z21	No	whatever	No	Yes

?

I think it matches with what you say in your mail.

?

Now I will try with rocrail

Thanks and regards from Barcelona
