Over the menu item "Z21 Zentrale Starten" you can activate the emulation of a Z21 central unit in the PC version of the CTC-App. The CTC-App not only reacts to commands arriving via the Z21-WiFi protocol, but also reports whenever a loco passes a balise (occupied report).
This provides all the functionality needed to connect CTC with model railway control software such as iTrain . We would be happy to demonstrate how iTrain can be connected to CTC at our trade fair booth.
How loco and turnout addresses as well as loco functions are assigned can be found in the previous chapter "Z21 Handregler nutzen".
