Anthony James Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hello I have just received a Z21, connected it all up and can run trains, but that is all, no turnouts etc. So next onto TC, it asks for an IP address after the Z21 which I put in but no response, which IP is it looking for? do I need to nominate a COM port at all? I am using the Z21 just to run trains, and the old Lenz system to do the feedback etc Regards Anthony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpendle Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Sounds like the PC which you are using for TrainController isn't talking to the Z21. Assuming that you have connected your PC with a LAN cable to the Z21 router, then as the Z21's default IP address is 192.168.0.111, that means that the the LAN port on your PC needs to have an IP address in the same range. You need to edit the properties of your PC's LAN port to turn off DHCP and give it a fixed address, such as 192.168.0.100. To test the connection, from a command prompt on the PC, type "ping 192.168.0.111". Regards, John P Edited October 7, 2020 by jpendle Clarity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony James Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hello John EXACTLY that is what was needed, it now works with the standard i p address of 192. 168. 0.111 many thanks. Regards Anthony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
