Problem: Command station does not respond to throttle input.
Solution: If your throttle is on and appears to be operational, but there
is no response from your command station, restart the command station
and check your power and data connections.
Problem: The wrong connection mode is selected.
Solution: Use the menu option labeled “Auto-detect LCC/WT” or
“Change LCC/WT Mode” and select the correct connection mode. An
asterisk (*) will appear next to the active mode.
At this time JMRI, LNWI, and all other potential connections communicate via
the “WiThrottle protocol.” If your connection mode is set to “LCC” for the connec-
tion to your layout, change this to “WT” for WiThrottle protocol. LCC mode will be
available in the future and is also used for throttle rmware updates.
Problem: mDNS failed to nd the WiThrottle Server.
Solution: mDNS is a WiFi protocol which is used to automatically load
the IP address and Port number of a server connection. mDNS does not
work with all WiFi networks and can fail. If you use phone apps, you may
be familiar with manually entering the IP and Port number of your JMRI
WiThrottle Server. The UWT-100 is also capable of doing this. Select
“Set IP Address” from the Server not found menu and set the IP address
and Port number as indicated on your WiThrottle server window in JMRI.
After entering the IP and Port number once, the throttle will retain this
information when reconnecting in the future.
Troubleshooting an LNWI connection
If you are unable to establish a connection with your LNWI device, follow
the steps below:
1. As simple as it sounds, turning the LNWI device off and on again will
often solve connection issues.
2. Ensure that the number of connections to a specic LNWI device
is not greater than four. LNWI devices have a limit of four connected
devices at one time - including phones running apps like WiThrottle and
EngineDriver. Turn off or disconnect one of the devices connected to the
LNWI and see if the problem disappears.
3. Check that your saved LNWI device is turned on. In situations where
there are multiple LNWI devices in use, the throttle may be congured to
connect to one that is not available.
