English RedBox
 When accelerating a locomotive with a Motorola decoder, only every second speed level
increases the locomotive’s speed.
Possible reason: The locomotive decoder was assigned speed level "27 a" or "27 b", but the
locomotive decoder only supports 14 speed levels. à Change the amount of speed levels in
the locomotive data base.
 In operation mode, locomotives with Motorola I decoders are causing problems: They do not
respond to driving or function commands or have an odd driving behaviour.
Possible reason: The duration of the signal pause is set inaccurately. à Change the duration
of the signal pause.
 The two locomotives in double traction move in opposite directions.
Possible reason: Before establishing a double traction, you did not set the driving direction for
both locomotives. à Repeat the creation of the double traction.
 The points cannot be switched.
Possible reason: The point format is wrong. à Change the points format.
 The RedBox does not respond to software commands of a connected PC.
The connection between MasterControl and PC is bad. à Check your cable. Also check, if the
right COM port is set in the software.
Possible reason (version "V24" only): The baud rate has been set faultily. à Alter the baud
rate.
8.4. Errors occurring during software update
 After the software update, the RedBox won’t start.
Possible reason: You updated using the wrong software file, for instance an update for the
LokControl. à Update again.
 While updating, the progress bar jumps back (often).
This is not an error. The update application checks continuously, if the data transferred is
correct. If this is not the case, it repeats the transfer.
