Locked Using Digikeijs DR5000 with a Macintosh Computer


 

Is it possible to use JRMI by connect my Mac to the DR5000 with a USB cable or CAD5 cable? ?The instruction I found are to use the wifi network but then I can not use the z21 App on my phone.
Thank you


 

You should be able to make a network connection (i.e. Cat5 Ethernet cable) from your Mac. See



But I haven¡¯t done it myself.

Thanks Bob
I tried the Ethernet connection but I have the same problem as with wifi. ?I can not use the z21app as the setting on the DR5000 are different. ?I will have have to figure out how to use the USB I guess. John


 

I managed to get JRMI on a Macintosh working with the DR5000 with your help and another?post. ?

After making sure I had the correct drivers from??I connect the?Macintosh directly?to the ?DR 5000 to the using a USB cable.

I set the DecoderPro preferences as follows

New Connection LocoNet
System Manufacturer?Digitrax
System connection Loconet LocoBuffer-USB
Serial Port cu.usbmodem411
Command station type DSC100 (Chief)
Connection Prefix L
Connection name Loconet

I did not adjust the additional settings.

To programme decoders, I set the Program Type to Direct Byte in the Roster window

It works very well now. ?I can use all the features now. ?
the z21?app on my phone works, a wired Roco throttle works via XpressNet, and DecoderPro works via a USB Cable. All at the same time.

Thanks for your help
