Step 1: Enter your credentials in the EventCMS
- Go to 'Config' and click 'Timer Setup'.
- Scroll to “Timing & Scoring Configuration”
- Enter an username and password.
Step 2: Create an TCP/IP Exporter
- Start Timing & Scoring
- Click “Add Exporter” button
- Click “TCP/IP Exporter”
Step 3: Configure TCP/IP Exporter
- Click the small Gear icon to open the “Plug-In Settings for TCP/IP Exporter” window
- Enter “mmt-events-liveserver.cloudapp.net” in the IP-address / Hostname field
- Keep 3097 in the ports field
- Ensure “Auto reconnect” and “Export markers” are both checked
- Enter the given credentials in Username and password fields
- Click Ok to save
Step 4: Ensure Exporter is connected to timelines
a) In the main screen, click the TCP/IP exporter so it’s highlighted and check all the checkmarks
b) Also ensure that the location names (marked in green below) match exactly with the timeline names in the race setup
Step 5: Verify connection
- Click Live! and go to 'Live Timelines'
- Check status
- Click Diagnose T&S connection
