An explanation of settings of all command stations supported is beyond the scope of this general introduction. The steps necessary to set up your individual command station are found on the wiki page of the respective command station.
In the standard configuration Rocrail uses the Virtual Command Station. A track-plan with two locomotives, E03 and V200, should appear as shown in the figure below. This virtual layout does not need any connection to a command station or a layout. It is meant as an example to learn about Rocrail's basic functions. The next chapter will explain how to work with the wikidemo-plan. It is intended as an example to learn about the basic functions of Rocrail.
The wikidemo-plan is consisting of four blocks, eight sensors (green circles), two switches (points) and the connecting tracks. The direction tracks (green arrows) are for the orientation of the user only. Switches can be switched by clicking on their symbol. The sensors can be activated by clicking them. They are deactivated by a second click.
On the wikidemo layout each block is equipped with two sensors. Each time the first one, lying in front of the block symbol seen in driving direction is the enter sensor, the second one is called in. The enter sensor informs Rocrail that a locomotive has entered the block, the in sensor is the signal that the loco has now completely moved into the block. It will be explained later on that blocks can also be equipped with only one sensor or with additional sensors.
The elements described in this chapter are necessary for basic train operations. With tracks, switches and signals trains can be operated manually already. Additional elements required for Rocrail's Auto Mode will be described in the next chapter.
In this tutorial a small layout in the style of the wikidemo layout is designed as an example.
In the same way the right gap is filled with a Left Switch, sw2. In addition two curves have to be added and rotated to the correct positions. This will complete the extended wikidemo plan for the moment (Step 14).
Since the ID is already set nothing has to be changed on this tab for the time being. Pressing Help opens the wiki page describing all options. Next, tab Interface is selected:
All other options are of minor importance and can be skipped (they have not been altered by the Router, too). As usual, the Help button opens the wiki page with descriptions of all options available.

The icons' wikilink and alternate text can be overridden by adding the optional parameters link=newlink and alt=othertext. Note that if only the link= parameter is changed then the alt= parameter will change from the default to the new link text. (However, the alt= parameter can be changed without affecting the link target.)
