Changing the LNWI Password On Protected WIFI

The default password (on LNWI networks with WPA2 enabled) is "digitrax1234". To customize your LNWI passcode perform the following: 

  1. Enter Option Switch mode on the LNWI. (Connect a Digitrax throttle to one of the LNWI’s Loconet connectors, press the OPS buttom. The Green ID and Red OPS indicators should start alternating blinking ON).
  2. Set OpSw 17 = closed.
  3. Set OpSw 18 = thrown.
  4. Exit option switch mode.
  5. Use DigiGroupSetup to set the password key as XXXX where XXXX is a 4digit numerical code of your choice or use a Duplex Radio Super Throttle and a UR92 to set the password key to XXXX.  For UR92/DT602 combinations follow the directions in your throttle's utility menu or UR92/93 manual to change the passcode setting.
  6. All active connections will close, and you will need to reconnected to the LNWI.
  7. The LNWI network should now show up as a secured connection, the WPA2 password is “digitraxXXXX” where the XXXX equals the number you set in step 5.

Note: If OpSw 18 = closed the passcode will always be “digitrax1234” regardless of customized settings.  Customized passcodes are stored until they are changed, OpSW 18 = c simply forces the LNWI to use “digitrax1234”. If key is set to 0000 WPA2 security will not be active.
