Does anyone know what the IP address for the ESu Cab Control LAN is?

You looking for the IP address or the router password ? I'm thinking you are probably trying to connect to your wifi and it's asking for the password ? If that IS the case, by default, it should be 123456789.

No, if I want to plug the Cab Control, into my computer, in order to communicate with JMRI, what is the IP address? If it is in the manual, I am having a hard time finding it.

Huh ! Wasn't aware you could even do that. What software are you running that communicates with an ESU throttle ? The only time I've ever plugged my throttle directly into my computer was when I updated them, but I was using ESU's software to do that.

Install angry IP scanner, it will detect and display the IP of any device connected to your computer. angryip.org/ |

Mark,
I think he wants to connect the Cab Control ICU to the computer, not the MC II throttle.
The hardware (MAC) address of the ICU is on a sticker on the bottom but he's looking for an IP address.
I tried to connect my ICU to a second LAN port on my computer but couldn't get it to work with JMRI. As implemented the JMRI connection to the ESU EcoS or Cab Control ICU needs the ESU hardware to be connected to a router first. That's what I ended up doing and it works.

I thought he was trying to plug his handheld into the computer to act as a direct throttle through JMRI. The throttle WILL work with JMRI provided it's talking through a router the host computer running JMRI is connected to. I use my ESU throttle at a couple home layouts that are set up that way - works like a charm. All I need is the password for their assigned router and I'm off and running. Mark. |

Thanks for everyone's replies. Yes, I'm trying to plug the Cab Control into my home network. I will try the angry IP route, next time I have a few minutes.

Ran AngryIP, and it came back with an IP address of 192.168.5.42, for the Cab Control. Now the question becomes, is that a hard coded address, or did it accept an address from the DHCP server? But at least I'm online with JMRI.

But at least I'm online with JMRI. Sounds like it accepted an IP from your DHCP server, you can assign it a fixed IP so it's the same every time. |

It looks that way, my confusion lies in everything that I've read indicates that the Cab Control has a hard coded IP address, but apparently I'm wrong.  |

When it's on the railroad network, it probably does (since it doesn't see a DHCP server). Connecting it to your home LAN causes it to listen and obtain an address. |
