So I have a CS2 60215 with latest software version, I purchased a 60884 kabel and connected that one to the bottom of the CS2 and the other end of cable to the S88 AC 60881. And then a brown cable from the S88 to track to get ground. So then I did find information on next step, but nothing on how I set up the S88 in CS2 I found. So then my questions are: 1) I find info on that the setup described with 0884 and S88 should work and that I then don´t need a L88, correct? 2) What do I have to do next? Do I have to do something in the CS2 or can I start adding blocks to my layout? Sorry for newbee questions. Some links to some pages or videos?

Correct: As per pg 2 of the 60884 users manual Note: FWIW I believe the image on page 4 is wrong! What I think they are trying to convey is that the 60884 cannot be used in reverse with the RJ45 pointing towards the controller (i.e. image should show cable into the right port of the 60881) and the 6 pin flat plug out of the bottom 60880 connector Quote: 2) What do I have to do next? Do I have to do something in the CS2 or can I start adding blocks to my layout? The first recommended step is to create a Layout TrackBoard with sensor dots for the 16 sensor ports. If this is the first S88 connected to the CS2 then addresses will be CS2/1 ... CS2/16 With the layout defined with its 16 dots, you should test the ports (test jumper wire between the grounG/"T" and each port). The white dot on the screen will show yellow when activated. test ALL 16 ports. From this point onward, you may then define Memory routes and identify the appropriate sensor port as the automatic trigger for that route.

Now I connected the first S88 and the first port, and it did work! Thanks so mutch for the help!
