If you wish to interface the Digitrax DCS240 command station with a computer running JMRI, there is an excellent support page on the JMRI website
JMRI may be connected to the Digitrax DCS240 in any of a wide variety of ways. Since the DCS240 has a built-in USB interface, it is possible to simply plug a USB cable into the computer and the DCS240, and configure JMRI to suit this connection. It is also possible to use another LocoNet interface device, such as a LocoBuffer-USB, Digitrax PR3 or PR4 to interface a computer to LocoNet, and connect that LocoNet to the DCS240. JMRI does not prefer any one connection method over any other method. Choose one which is suitable for your needs.
