Wireless Results
[ Home | Honour Board | Records ]

Wireless results are provided across the Energy Breakthrough site thanks to TRANSURBAN.
This technology produces race standings as vehicles cross the line!
The only hardware required to get onto the data stream is a Windows laptop with a wireless network card.
(someone at your school is likely to have one available for the weekend - Please Note: Wireless Results are provided for Windows-based computers - pre-VISTA)
The network allows teams and spectators to monitor any vehicle's overall position, laps completed and dissect performances according to fastest laps and the time for the last lap just completed.

Race Monitor is the required program and can be downloaded via this link. (728 kb .exe file)
Please note: If you installed this program for the 2006 or 2005 RACV EB - you will not need to download it again.

Installing this program on a laptop with wireless connectivity is all of the software required to receive the wireless data and specific IP addresses will be allocated at the Administration Centre during registration. The network will be publicly available and unencrypted for all users to connect to. Should you require assistance with this, please ask a timing representative during the weekend.

This program typically installs in the C drive: Program Files folder which makes it easier to delete after the event and less likely to affect other programs running on your machine. You may install this software to any location you wish. Note that the installation package does NOT install files to any other location other than the one you select - that is NO FILES are placed in any Windows directory.

Program Instructions:
Once you have run it for the first time, to view the results you need to do the following:
1. Ensure that your laptop has been able to establish a wireless connection to our network.
The connections names will be 'racveb' with a number, depending on your location.
WEP and WPA are disabled for these meetings on our access points.
Please check instructions handed out at registration - if any change is made to the ssid on either track these instructions will advise you of the required ssid name.

2. Under Settings | Communication, select the 'TCP/IP' radio button.
You will need to connect to the IP of the computer which will be advised in the instructions handed out at registration.
The computer name will also depend on which track you wish to receive live results from.
Leave the port setting at 50000.

3. To view the practice times and results, select:
File | 'New result window' | 'Practice results'.

4. This should be sufficient information to get you up and running.
If you have any major dramas with this, see a timing official during the event.

Final results will also be available from this website after the event.
