RedBox English
4.1. EasyNet interface
You can integrate more than 60 non-central control devices or adapters for devices of other
manufacturers into the digital system via the EasyNet interface on the front side of your RedBox.
Any (RJ 45) Ethernet patch cable (used in Computer networks) will work. Please also read the
manual of your control device or adapter.
You can connect one device or adapter directly to the EasyNet interface of your RedBox. You
need a distributor (Y-distributor for Ethernet patch cables or BusControl) when using more than
one additional device. Exceptions are devices with two EasyNet interfaces, e.g. SniffControl,
XNControl.
The power supply of the RedBox is sufficient to supply four additional devices. When connecting
more devices, you need a BusControl and an additional AC power pack.
EasyControl devices
Please note, that all EasyControl devices must have the same software version as the RedBox to
prevent malfunction of data transfer between the devices.
Other manunfacturer´s digital controls and DECT telephones
Adapters, connected to the EasyNet interface of your RedBox, allow to integrate all Motorola
and/or DCC central units made by other manufacturers, and digital devices for other bus
systems into the digital system, and to use them as external control devices.
Restrictions of digital central units concerning the usable digital formats are overcome, e.g. you
can control vehicle decoders designed for Motorola or mfx format with pure DCC devices. In
case the number of speed levels defined for a decoder in the locomotive data base does not
correspond to the number of speed levels to be set at the device, the RedBox converts the
speed levels internally.
Please note, that with some devices the input options are restricted (e.g. number of switchable
functions, length of locomotive addresses, input of accessory decoder commands).
