public interface LocoNetInterface
```
LocoNetInterface defines the general connection to a LocoNet layout.
Use this interface to send messages to a LocoNet layout. Classes implementing the LocoNetListener interface can register here to receive incoming LocoNet messages as events.
The jmri.jrmix.loconet.LnTrafficController provides the first implementation of this interface.
How do you locate an implemenation of this interface? That's an interesting question. This is inherently LocoNet specific, so it would be inappropriate to put it in the jmri.InterfaceManager. And Java interfaces can't have static members, so we can't provide an implementation() member. For now, we use a static implementation member in the LnTrafficManager implementation to locate _any_ implementation; this clearly needs to be improved.
LocoNetListener implementations registering for traffic updates cannot assume that messages will be returned in any particular thread. See the LocoNetListener doc for more background.

void addLocoNetListener(int mask,
                        LocoNetListener listener)
```
    Request notification of things happening on the LocoNet.
    The same listener can register multiple times with different masks. (Multiple registrations with a single mask value are equivalent to a single registration) Mask values are defined as class constants. Note that these are bit masks, and should be OR'd, not added, if multiple values are desired.
    The event notification contains the received message as source, not this object, so that we can notify of an incoming message to multiple places and then move on.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mask - The OR of the key values of messages to be reported (to reduce traffic, provide for listeners interested in different things)
    
    listener - Object to be notified of new messages as they arrive.

  - status
```
boolean status()

    Check whether an implementation is operational. Returns true if operational.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if implementation is operational.
  - setSystemConnectionMemo
```
void setSystemConnectionMemo(LocoNetSystemConnectionMemo m)
```
    Set the system connection memo associated with this connection.
    
    Parameters:
    
    m - associated systemConnectionMemo object
  - getSystemConnectionMemo
```
LocoNetSystemConnectionMemo getSystemConnectionMemo()
```
    Get the system connection memo associated with this connection.
    
    Returns:
    
    the associated systemConnectionMemo object
