MTH Electric Trains DCS WiFi Quick Start

Imagine having control over your model railroad from any iOS or Android phone or tablet. How much more convenient would operating your model railroad be with the same device you use throughout your daily life? The large, bright full-color screens found on today's smart phones and tablets are perfect for accessing the DCS features found inside your Proto-Sound 2.0 and 3.0 locomotives. Better yet, the expanded range and speed of wifi ensures that your trains respond to DCS commands faster and more reliably than ever before. The M.T.H. Electric Trains DCS Digital Command System can now be controlled by your smart phone or tablet when the DCS TIU Track Interface Unit is connected to a WIU WiFi Interface Unit. Control of the railroad can be accessed with an unlimited number of smart devices or the DCS handheld remote, all at the same time. The DCS Explorer is an all-in-one unit that combines a smaller version of the TIU and WIU into a one-track device that can control up to three different locomotives at the same time. The DCS Explorer can be powered by any AC or DC power supply (like the Z-1000 brick) and plugs right into a track lockon. Once connected, access the Explorer with your smartphone or tablet's wifi connection then use the FREE DCS App (available from Google Play or Apple's App Store) to control up to three Proto-Sound 2.0 or later locomotives. Setup is simple and quick and the Explorer, like the WIU, can be configured as a stand-alone unit or easily combined into an existing home wifi network. This video guides the viewer through the download and installation of the app onto your smart device, connection to the WIU or DCS Explorer from your phone or tablet and basic operation of the railroad using the App.
