UWT-100 Connection Issues

Overview

There are two network connections that the throttle must make in order to communicate to your command station: A WiFi connection and a Server connection.

• WiFi - The WiFi connection is your access point, router, or WiFi device.

• Server - A server functions as the translator between your throttle and command station. This is often a computer running a JMRI WiThrottle protocol server.

Tip: Some devices like Digitrax LNWI and MRC WiFi Module function as both the WiFi and the Server simultaneously.

Troubleshooting the WiFi connection

This section will help you troubleshoot your network connection after a “No WiFi found” error. If no WiFi is found, there are a few likely causes:

Problem: Your router or WiFi network is not turned on or is otherwise inoperational.

Solution: Restart your WiFi device or router, and check for error messages or warning lights.

Problem: You have not yet connected to a WiFi network.

Solution: Follow the steps in the Connecting to a WiFi section to establish a connection.

Problem: Your WiFi password was entered incorrectly.

Solution: You will see the “Wrong WiFi Password” prompt. Double-check and re-enter your password.
