MTH WIFI, LIONEL SERIAL 2 ,LEGACY MODULEE SETUP ISSUES, PLS HELP!!!!

There is no internet access using the MTH network. Internet is only available from the MTH app if you connect everything through your home network. Sorry, but that's about all I know for the Wifi stuff, I don't use it. Maybe someone that's using all the Wifi stuff for both systems will be along to assist.

Thank you very much for the reply as I hope it will help me trying to understand what is going on.

Best Jerry 

You are welcome. If you just want to get things going, my setup is pretty simple, but no wifi. This is pretty basic and since I don't know how far along you are with either system, just disregard the following paragraph if you already have things up and running as described below.

I had DCS first so my layout is wired for DCS per Barry's book. The layout is powered through the TIU channels to the tracks, I added Legacy by just connecting the Legacy base signal wire to all commons on the TIU outputs and it was up and running. I don't have any cables (like the MTH 50-1032) connecting the two systems together. I have to run MTH with the MTH system and Legacy/TMCC with the Legacy system. I can't run Legacy/TMCC with the DCS system, but that's just how I wanted it set up for my own use. This might at least get you up and going to gain some experience running things. Then you can add the wifi stuff maybe a piece at a time or something like that as you learn more about each system.

Hello all,

I recently purchased the complete MTH WiFi, lionel serial 2 complete setup from Legacy station. I am trying to set it up and I cannot get a Wi-Fi connection? When I turn on I get the the unit lights blinking and a constant blinking purple tiu light? 

 

 

The TIU light should become solid, not blinking, after a few long moments. It does take some time.

Is there a light inside the TIU on solid? Is the TIU receiving power when you are trying this? How does it get power?

I don't have the Lionel side of this hooked up so I don't know anything about their serial connector box.

I would suggest getting the TIU working without the Legacy connected first. Unplug the serial connection.

That is just a guess from someone who doesn't have it though. I have TMCC and have issues but I'm running 2 rail. I have to keep them totally separate.

I might also suggest just hooking up the TIU to a single short test track to get things going. You could add stuff and see where there's an issue.

I'm thinking the whole set-up might be tougher to trouble shoot all connected at once.

Thank you very much guys. I think you are right relative to maybe getting things going a little at a time. I did have MTH running fine before I tried adding this setup. The red light is on on the tiu. I just would like to be able to talk sit to somebody that has the setup.

Again, much thanks, Jerry 

Did you install the DCS app on your phone or tablet? when you connect to the MTH network and run the app do you get any errors?

I installed the app on my Android Samsung tablet. I can't even get it to ask me for a password?
