WFD-31 acts as a WiThrottle Server similar to that provided by JMRI. In other words it responds to connections and commands defined in the WiThrottle protocol, authored by Brett Hoffman, and allows connected devices to select and control trains and accessories. The WiThrottle Server is built into WFD-31 firmware so there is so software set-up required. You can however use JMRI AS WELL as your WFD-31 and drive trains.Direct Wi-Fi Mode allows up to 4 Cabs (Android, IOS or Windows computers/tablets/phones) to connect directly to the WFD-31 device's access point. WPA2-PSK security is optional in this mode using your own password.Home-net Mode allows the WFD-31 device to connect automatically to your home router on power-up. This enables approximately to 6 to 7 Cabs to communicate with the device and control trains. In this case operation may be limited by the Wi-Fi capabilities of your router and the rest of the Wi-Fi and DCC system as well as the number of locomotives under control of each cab.The Loco Roster feature allows up to 16 rostered locomotives each with up to 29 named function keys. The function names are specific to each loco. On 3rd-party smartphone apps or TCS UWT-100, locos may be selected either from the roster OR by typing the DCC address. Once your roster is full, you may drive extra locos by using their DCC Address, but they will not have the named function key feature.The Accessory List feature allows up to 32 listed, named accessories with your specific accessory address. On 3rd-party smartphone apps, the state of accessories may be changed either by tapping the entry in the list, or by using the accessory address. You may operate more than 32 accessories by using the accessory address for extra accessories. Only two-state accessories such as turnouts may be operated. The display of accessories is determined by the features of the 3rd-party app such as Engine Driver or WiThrottle.
