Turning on Basic WPA2 Security

Enabling WPA2 security will allow you to prevent unauthorized users from con-

necting to your LocoNet by requiring a simple Passcode that is entered when you 

connect to an LNWI SSID.
To Enable Basic WPA2 Security:

1. 

Power up your LNWI and connect it to an active LocoNet

2. 

Connect a Digitrax throttle to one of the LNWI’s LocoNet connectors

3. 

Press the OPS button on the LNWI. The Green ID and Red OPS indicators 

should start alternating blinking ON.

4. 

Go to SWITCH mode on your Digitrax throttle.

5. 

Set Sw 17=c and Sw 18=c

6. 

Once all switches are configured press the OPS button again, the ID light 

should go back to its normal “heartbeat” operation.

7.  Power the unit off and back on by disconnecting and reconnected the barrel 

plug power connection.

8. 

The LNWI should now show with a secured SSID.  The passcode is 

 

“digitrax1234”

9. 

Repeat this procedure for any additional LNWI units.

beat” operation.

7.  Power the unit off and back on by disconnecting and reconnected the barrel 

plug power connection.
