Hi,
I have just received my new LoDi equipment and am setting it up. Rektor and S88-Commander LX show up fine in Propgrammer FX (I needed to change the IP addresses to match my local range), however the Booster does not show up even though it seems to be all connected okay.

Images of FX Programmer Screen and Equipment Setup are attached.

Can you advise what needs to be done to get the Booster to show up?

Many Thanks
David

Hello David

As I see it, the Booster does not receive DC voltage.
I am missing two green LEDs.





The green LED that is on , is the indication that the lodicon bus is connected to the Rektor.
The bus terminator is also in the right place.

Kind Regards
Rupert

Hello David,

seems the red "Bus" LED is off. This means the booster does not receive the bus poll signal from the LoDi-Rektor. The green "DCC" LED is on, showing there is a valid DCC signal.

Might be a broken network cable or some other hardware fault. Just try to use another network cable for the LoDi-Bus. They are all compatible.

Best Regards
Hagen

Thanks for the quick responses.

I have now tried three different Ethernet cables and still the issue persists. I have gone back to the local vendor and asking to investigate.

I am migrating from Digitrax - is it possible to use the S88 Commander / 8-GBMs temporarily with Digitrax controller?

Many Thanks

David

Hi Andreas - yes, from James Hudson at DCC Train Automation. I discussed this with Julian from his team yesterday but we could not find a solution.

Removing the bus terminator does not affect the situation, unfortunately.

The Red bus light does not show on either the Rektor or the Booster. Only the Green DCC light flickers on the booster.

Cheers

Andreas,
Yes, seems that way. Also, as far as I can tell the fan is not operating, which I think is abnormal.

I will be in touch with James tomorrow.

Cheers

David
