• CAN-GC1e

RC-CAB is a mobile Android Throttle which directly connects to one of the command stations listed below. RC-CAB therefore can be used as a mobile wireless throttle without computer connection and Rocrail and is well suited for testing purposes.

• Android versions 4 and higher are supported.
• A permanent Code can be requested in exchange of financial support.
• 5 Demo minutes without an installed code.

Supported are

• CBUS using the CAN-GC1e interface.
• LocoNet GCA101 interface. → A multicast (UDP) capable Android device is needed.
• XpressNet using the Ethernet Interface

• Keep alive for loco session and interface.

The network in which the Ethernet Interface is connected to must be extended with a WiFi access point to be able to connect the RC-CAB to it.

Note: The Ethernet Interface must have a valid MAC-Address. Otherwise, some routers or access points may refuse a connection to that device!

Select the desired connection protocol:

• CBUS → TCP/IP
• GCA101 → UDP Multicast
• Xpressnet → TCP/IP
• CS2 → UDP
• RocNet → UDP Multicast

Note: Not all devices are supporting UDP Multicast receive. It does not or only work partly.

Set the IP-Address and Port according the setup of the selected interface.

• GCA101 (UDP Multicast) Fixed on IP 224.0.0.1 and Port 1235
• Xpressnet USB/Ethernet 23151
