This dialog box pops up on application start. You have to choose the connection parameters, necessary to connect to the LoconetOverTcpLoconetOverTcp server.
Type in the name of the host (computer) where the LoconetOverTcpLoconetOverTcp server is running. If you want to use a server that is currently running on your local machine, use the default localhost.
Type in the port number on which the server is listening for connections. A port number is an integer value that identifies a service that a server might provide. I am using 1234 for tests.
With this application you can place locos into the dispatch slot so that they can be acquired by simple throttles like FRED.
In the upper half of the main window, you can select actions:
Click on the manual button to enter a loco address and protocol mode manually.
In the lower half of the main window, you can see the last action that was performed on the dispatch slot. Remember: the dispatch slot is a global resource. It exists only once, so the last action could be done by anybody connected to the same LocoNet:
Last operation can be one of the three following:
Slot # is the LocoNet slot that was subject of dispatching. The normal user can please ignore this info! :-)
Address is the locomotive address.
Age is the time elapsed since the operation. This is inteded to give a feeling about if somebody else is just using the dispatching mechanism.
