- Protocols: Lenz XpressNet and/or L.NET-TCP/IP;
- Wifi/LAN settings can be changed via a web-interface;
- The WiFi / LAN module can serve as an AP (access point) as well as a router between the DR5000 and WiFi home network (LAN).
Control:
Stop
- Disable Rail output.

DR5000 can save loco settings (speed, direction and functions) when pressing the STOP button, at startup, DR5000 will readback those settings when enabled
RailCom:
-- When used with the DR5088RC you read back POM commands
XpressNet:
-- Added option to set 'Report feedback from' to report Feedback and not Turnout status. Status requests for module >= "Report feedback from" are reported as Feedback, below that Turnouts are reported (as of Lenz spec's)
ext88N
-- Enabled the bi-directional features of the Digikeijs ext88 bus
-- up to 8 'Control Modules' may be defined and connected, preparation for future control modules
-- Configuration page for ext88 Control Modules
LocoNet

USB 2.0
-- Settings are saved before firmware update and restored after firmware update
Control
-- Export- and Import buttons for saving and restoring all DR5000 settings
-- Settings page
* Enable save and restore loco data --> When enabled, pressing STOP button on the DR5000 save the current Loco data, when powering up DR5000 reads back loco data (no connection to PC needed)
* Data grid for entering address step data per address. Only settings which are not equal to default speed steps are saved.
