# XpressNet interface configuration
|
|
|
|
This page describes how to configure an XpressNet command station in Traintastic.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
Many command stations can be added using the **setup wizard**, which guides you through the process step by step.
|
|
See [Quick start: Connect to your command station](../../quickstart/command-station.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Supported connection types
|
|
|
|
XpressNet command stations can be connected to Traintastic in two ways:
|
|
|
|
- **Serial (RS-232/USB)** – Direct cable connection, often via a USB-to-Serial adapter.
|
|
Some devices provide presets with predefined baud rate and flow control settings.
|
|
- **Network** – TCP/IP connection over Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
|
|
|
|
## Connection settings
|
|
|
|
Depending on the connection type, the following options are available:
|
|
|
|
### Serial connections
|
|
|
|
- **Serial interface type** – Preset for the connected hardware (e.g., RoSoft S88XPressNetLI).<br>
|
|
This preset sets or limits available baudrate and flow control options.
|
|
- **Device** – Path to the serial device (e.g., `COM3` on Windows or `/dev/ttyUSB0` on Linux).
|
|
- **Baudrate** – Communication speed. Defined by the selected serial interface type.
|
|
- **Flow control** – Hardware/software flow control setting, usually *None* unless the device requires it.
|
|
- **S88 start address** – (RoSoft S88XPressNetLI only) First address for connected S88 feedback modules.
|
|
- **S88 module count** – (RoSoft S88XPressNetLI only) Number of connected S88 feedback modules.
|
|
|
|
### Network connections
|
|
|
|
- **Hostname** – IP address or hostname of the command station.
|
|
- **Port** – TCP port number.
|
|
|
|
## XpressNet settings
|
|
|
|
Additional options for fine-tuning behavior:
|
|
|
|
### Command station preset
|
|
|
|
- **Command station** – Select your command station model.<br>
|
|
This preset automatically adjusts related options to match the station.
|
|
Choosing **Custom** allows you to override and configure all options manually.
|
|
|
|
### Locomotive control
|
|
|
|
- **Use emergency stop locomotive command** – Enable the dedicated XpressNet emergency stop command for locomotives.
|
|
- **Use Roco F13–F20 command** – Enable Roco-specific extended function command for F13–F20.
|
|
|
|
### Accessory control
|
|
|
|
- **Use Roco accessory addressing** – Enable Roco-style accessory addressing (alternative to standard XpressNet addressing).
|
|
|
|
### Debugging
|
|
|
|
- **Debug log RX/TX** – Log all XpressNet traffic (hex + description).
