Hi guys,

I'm going to buy a cs3+ and keep the cs2.

What cable is needed to connect a cs2 to a cs3+, the cs2 both the slave and the cs3+ the master?

I already have 60126 cables for 60125 terminal

Thank you for your reply

Thank you very much maerklinlife

Thank you TEEWolf

Although very essential, I will buy this book when Marklin has the respect to sell his technical books in French.

Francophone clients have always been treated, on the whole, like paying pigs by Marklin and this is not new.

When I lived in my native country, I sometimes went to Germany to the headquarters in Marklin.

Sometimes I would remark to them, like: "You prefer your German customers, which is normal, but you neglect your French-speaking customers far too much while accepting their money. Do you consider us fucking paying pigs?''

I am still waiting for the answer 40 years later

I must admit that efforts have been made, they have been forced to do so to face the globalization of trade, but there is still a long way to go, especially in the technical field where all their publications are in their original language or in English.

Just look at the incredible number of links that TEEWolf provides: almost all of them are in German.

Why????? German pays in euros, a Belgian pays in euros and a Canadian pays in dollars, but more expensive because the euro is strong.

Why can't French-speaking Belgians and French-speaking Canadians have access to technical documents in their own language?

In Canada, it is a crime not to provide access to information in the user's language.

But I've been a Marklinist since I was 12 years old and I'm going to be 65. And I'm a '' chialeux''. So I '' chiale ''. So I buy Marklin and I manage

And..........what is a poor English speaker to do with this, I have been waiting since 1968 to learn of something in ENGLISH to help and further the joy of my
beloved GERMAN TRAINS, but to no avail, everything keeps coming up in different languages for the monosyllabic English speaker on the left coast of USA, hoping to clear a shipment of marklin by ups because the invoice is in German, the TSCA is in GERMAN, and the packing list is in GERMAN, FROM A COMPANY IN GERMANY?c

I am puzzled about one thing regarding the CS2 & CS3(+) connections...

CS2 can be connected to CS1 over WiFi...
CS3 can be connected to CS3+ over WiFi...

Why cannot CS2 & CS3 be connected over WiFi and share the CAN-bus signals that way, why do I need a cable ???

Well I'll go out on a limb here and say that the French book market isn't large enough to warrant a French language translation of the book. These days an English translation typically covers most of the world.

That said, there are French model rail supply companies that refuse to even let us Americans into their store, so I'm not loosing any sleep over the poor French. ( I'm looking at you http://www.la-boutique-du-maquettiste.fr/ with your "You can not access our shop from your country. We apologize for the inconvenience." nonsense)

That's what I was saying: "You're not many, sorry for the inconveniences, but we still take your money...and thank you very much''

But like I said, I'm a Marklinist and I manage.

CS2 connects to CS1 over wifi ???

Not in the documentation I have seen. The connection is done over Ethernet hard wired connection. It would be possible to introduce a wifi connection into that hard wired connection, but it wouldn't be directly a wifi connection between them.

I also haven't seen any info about connecting a Cs3 to a CS3+ over wifi.

WiFi (802.11..) is typically used in conjunction with ethernet (802.2..) - so while not technically exclusive, in this context it might as well be.

The CS1<>CS2 connection is TCPIP (XML) not a UDP "can bus over ethernet" variant.
This implementation has no railsync and is one of the reasons you cannot (should not) use the two devices on the same "track" of a layout layout - i.e. a train/loco should not short between the two boosters

That said the CS2.exe can operate with either - but of course this is only a "throttle" without a booster of its own.

The CS3<>CS3 is supposed to have a enternet connection for the purposes of more efficiently sharing configuration data (e.g. layout diagram and meta data).
Operationally the hardwired 60123 cable is still needed for track level stuff - the booster within the slave device.

But in Shwabian, it would say "Koi Löklie" or something, right?

Should have something for Scotland ...Nae Lok Ataw
