Figure 2: L.Net converter overview
The L.Net converter is wired directly to one of the three ECoS-
link sockets of the command station with the supplied ECoSlink
cable.
Please observe the correct polarity of the cable! Do not force the
plug into the socket!
If you wish to connect more than three L.Net converters or if the
supplied bus cable is too short you must extend the ECoSlink bus
with the aid of the ECoSLink terminal (part number 50099).
Should you use LocoNet™ feedback decoders by Uhlenbrock®,
a connection between the common (ground) socket g) of the
L.Net converter to the common of the track power (ECoS track
output "0" (compare chapters 8.3.1./8.3.2 in the ECoS manual).
Once you have connected the L.Net converter to the ECoS the
status LED b) will light up continuously. As soon as the L.Net con-
verter is ready for operation the power supply of the connected
devices will be turned on and the L.Net Power LED d) lights up.
Whenever there is a data exchange between the connected de-
vices and the L.Net converter the LED e) lights up briefly.

6. Configuration with the command station
After connecting the L.Net converter to the command station the
module will be automatically detected and linked.
When the status LED blinks then the command station did not
recognise the device. For trouble free operation the command
station must have at least ECoS firmware 3.7.0. or higher.
The configuration is done in the set-up menu of the command
station. Each L.Net converter is displayed in the list "Devices con-
nected to ECoSlink" twice since it fulfils two functions.
Figure 3: Devices on ECoSlink
• L.Net Config: This leads to the actual function of the device:
namely controlling locomotives and turnouts and programming
LocoNet™ devices.
• L.Net Detector: Here the feedback modules detected at the L.Net
converter are configured and tested.
We recommend changing these default names once you use two
or more L.Net converters.
