7.5.3 LNet

The L-Net connection is not currently active at time of printing. This may be
turned on with a future update.

7.5.4 ECoSBoost wired to ECoSlink bus interface

If you need more power to run your layout we recommend to connect an
ESU ECoSBoost 50010 (4A option) resp. 50011 (8A option): These boosters
can generate all RailCom® feedback features. Wiring these devices is quite
easy. Simply hook up the bus cable provided with one of the ECoSlink Con-
nect sockets. You will find more information about our ECoSBoost boosters
in the user manual for the boosters.
7.5.5 Power Supply
Once the rest of the cables and track wires are connected the supplied Va-
riable 15V-21V Power Supplied can be plugged in. Just insert the 5.5mm
terminal of the power supply into the socket on the back of the CabControl
ICU (socket "PWR"). The CabControl will start automatically and setup a
local Wi-Fi network, to connect with the Mobile Control II.
If no LAN-wire is connected and WPS is not activated, the Cab-
Control will create a local wireless network exclusively for the
Mobile Control II. An internet connection is not available in this
configuration. (See 7.5.2 Above)
The voltage on the Included Power Supply is variable and should
be adjusted before Track Power is turned on. If this is turned too
high and your lighting resistance is not enough to cover the volta-
ge, Bulbs can be blown. Also some decoders cannot handle high-
er voltages. Please check to be sure your equipment is compatible
with the Voltage you chose. ESU is not responsible for damage
caused by incorrect track voltage settings.

7.5.6 CabControl Power up

Once the Power Supply is connected to your CabControl system the power
cycle will begin.

1. The Power Status LED will light up green and stay steady.
2. Shortly after a second green LED (track status) and a Blue LED (WiFi connec-
tion) will blink briefly on and off.
3. The cooling fan will start briefly as a test.
4. The green track status LED will now start blinking on and off repeatedly
until the Track Power is turned on by the Mobile Control II Throttle once it
is connected to the ICU.

8. Switching on the Mobile Control II

Press and hold the power button until an icon appears on the screen. The
very first switch-on may take up to two minutes until Android has started
and updated all system settings. Please consider the following when working
with the mobile Control II:
• In order to save energy the display is turned off automatically after one
minute of inactivity just like a mobile phone.
• In this case simply press the power button for a short time (less than one
second) in order to activate the device once again.
• Even when the display appears dark, the throttle is still active and con-
sumes energy. The battery will probably be discharged after one day in
"Stand by" and the device will shut down automatically.
• At the end of an operating session we recommend to shut down the Mo-
bile Control by pressing and holding the power button (while the display is
active) until the switch-off menu appears. If you now select "Turning-off"
and confirm the query, then the device will shut down permanently.

9.1. Handling Android

Although handling Android has been designed very intuitively and since the
Mobile Control II is to be handled, by and large, like a mobile phone we think
a few basic tips are in order.
