“Simulated” mode is a configurable display mode that works entirely offline.
In “Simulated” mode, your board will display a simulation of train traffic. From the “Simulated mode” tab of the configuration page of your board, you can set how fast trains are moving from station to station and how frequent new trains starts on each train lines. Advanced user can also customize what each line will display in order.
“Live” mode is real-time scheduled display mode that use online data.
In “Live” mode, your board will display the in real-time the scheduled departures and arrival of the trains. This data is based on publicly available data from each service provider, using the GTFS data format.
Just press the black “Mode” button on the board. A yellow LED will show you which mode you’re currently displaying.
Here’s of the error code displayed by the “Error” LED :
- 1 Flash: Connection Timeout. There was an issue connecting to the online services. Check the internet connection.
- 2 Flashes: Connection Refused. The online service explicitly rejected the connection. Check the online service address in the configuration page under the “Live mode” configuration tab.
- 3 Flashes: Too many retries. The board is program to attempt a maximum number of connections
- 4 Flashes: Certificate revoked. The TLS certificates configured with your board were revoked.
- 5 Flashes: Unknown error. Something unexpected happened. Get in touch with support@montrealledmap.ca. We’re curious to find out what is going on!
You can factory reset your board by simply holding the red “Reset” button for more than 10 seconds. Hold it until you see all indicator LED light up at once and release. Your board will reboot with all setting reverted to factory default.
What time is it? Running in “Live” mode use real time schedules. As of now, no mass transit system in the Montréal area run 24/7.
You can also consult our Status page, the number of trips displayed mostly correspond to the number of trains active a given transit line.
Simply type in your browser address bar the IP of the board i.e. http://192.168.0.101
Once connected to your local Wi-Fi, you can find the IP address of your board through your routeur DHCP lease. Look for an entry like “MLM-BOARD-11AA2B”. Consult your router manual to see how to retrieve the address
In a more recent software version, you should be able to access http://mlm-board-11aa2b.local. This address should work on any local network by using the mDNS protocol.
Yes! From the web configuration page, you can set the global brightness by simply moving the slider on the right of the page.
This might happen if the filesystem of the update was corrupted. You can restore the previous filesystem used by sending a POST request to your board address similar to this : http://mlm-board-xxxxxx/system/fs
You can also check which is the current filesystem used by sending a GET request to your board address similar to this : http://mlm-board-xxxxxx/system/fs
