WiFi Setup
Your panel restarts and joins your network.
2. The setup page at 192.168.4.1: pick your network and enter its password.
Once connected, the board shows an 8-character setup code with thetrainticker.com/claim underneath. It uses easy-to-read characters: no zero, O, one, I, or L.
Tap Claim board. Within a few seconds the board switches from the setup code to the next trains from your station.
The board shows the next three trains in turn, each for at least 12 seconds and long enough for its calling points to scroll past. When nothing is due it shows your station, No departures and the clock, and at night (roughly 10pm to 7am) it dims automatically.
The board has four lines, like the departure board on a platform:
On time: leaving as bookedExp 18:40: expected to leave at 18:40Delayed: late, with no new time yetCancelled: not running, with the reason scrolling underneathPrefer to see all three at once? Switch to the list in your dashboard:
Change these anytime from your dashboard:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Station | The station whose departures the board shows |
| Calling at | Only trains that call at a station you choose, such as the one you travel to |
| Platforms | Only trains from the platforms you pick |
| Walk to the station | Hides trains that leave before you'd get there |
| Layout | One train at a time, or a list of the next three |
| What to show | Platform, operator, coaches, calling points, where the train is, notices |
| Colours and clock | Change the colours, and choose a 12 or 24 hour clock |
Brightness: set any level from 5% to 100% in your dashboard. Between 10pm and 7am the board dims to 15%, or stays at your level if you set it lower. A level you set during that time is used until 7am.
TrainTicker network again.If your board is showing one of these, match it here first. All three clear themselves once the problem goes away, so there is usually nothing for you to do.
Check the USB-C cable is firmly plugged into the board and the power socket.
Wait 30 seconds after plugging in, then refresh your WiFi list. The network only appears while the panel is on the WiFi setup screen. If the panel is already connected to a network, press RESET with a pin three times, a few seconds apart, to reset it.
While connected to TrainTicker, go to http://192.168.4.1 in your browser.
Double-check your WiFi password. The panel returns to the setup screen so you can try again. Make sure your router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz network.
Enter it exactly as shown, capital letters and numbers. It never contains zero, O, one, I, or L.
This is normal late at night and at stations with no trains due. If it says this during the day, check the station in your dashboard, and whether a calling-at station, platform or walking time is hiding the trains you expect.
Press inside the small RESET hole on the left edge with a pin to restart it. Your settings stay. If it still shows a WiFi problem, check your router has internet, or press RESET three times and redo WiFi setup.
