2. What is EasyControl?
EasyControl is a digital control for your model railroad layout, which is assembled from different
components. This modular design principle allows you to adjust it to various demands and
differently sized model railway layouts.
2.1. Components
It consists of at least
 one digital central unit RedBox (available since 09-2016) or MasterControl (available from
2005 to 2016)
 one external booster (not required with RedBox versions "Booster" and "Booster-R")
 one external control device (not required with MasterControl)
In addition to your central unit RedBox or MasterControl you can use more than 60 additional
control devices or adapters in one digital control. The following devices are suitable:
 EasyControl devices (e.g. LokControl, HandControl, HandControl 2)
 digital control devices for bus systems of other manufacturers (e.g. XpressNet)
 PC
 mobile Android terminal devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet)
 DECT-teleohones
 digital central units of other manufacturers for Motorola- and/or DCC-format

2.2. EasyNet
External control devices or adapters and the central units RedBox or MasterControl communicate
via the data bus EasyNet. They can be plugged in or out at any time to the EasyNet, even during
operation (plug and play). As a bus line for the EasyNet patch cables with RJ 45 connectors ar
used.
One additional control device or adapter can be connected directly to the EasyNet interface of
the RedBox or the MasterControl. You need a junction (e.g. wye junction or BusControl), if you
want to connect more than one additional device (as far as the device concerned does not have
two RJ 45 connectors, like SniffControl or PhoneControl).
