SOLO 2
For an optimal speed of your AiM device(s) we recommend not to allow the Internet
on the same network and to set the WLAN in the same way.
You can of course allow the Internet access on your network but this would degrade
the communication.
This slightly slower speed can be suitable for your needs but you can also have a
second Wi-Fi connection using an additional hardware (NIC).
This configuration would provide an optimal speed of the data network of your AiM
device(s) and at the same time would provide an internet connectivity with the
second NIC.
8.4 The Internet connectivity
It can occur that MyChron5 is correctly connected to Race Studio 3 via Wi-Fi but the
user interface does not show it. This may be because Wi-Fi port setting is set with a
static IP.
To switch it to dynamic (DHCP):
n
open “Network and sharing centre” in the WindowsTM research engine
n
right click on the Wi-Fi connection and a panel shows up
n
select “Properties” option
n
double click on “Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”
n
verify that option “Obtain an IP address” is active
For further information refer to FAQ section, Wi-Fi of www.aim-sportline.com.
8.5 Connection issues
The parameters for the device network configuration in this example are:
n
Wireless network name: network_1
It means that the WLAN network name is “network_1.” A PC has to be authenticated
in this network to interact with any AiM device of this network.
n
Gateway address: 192.168.0.1
primary DNS server: 0.0.0.0
secondary DNS server: 0.0.0.0
(These settings prevent Internet connectivity on this WLAN.)
n
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248
Enable DHCP server: yes
DHCP IP address range: 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.6
These settings enable a DHCP server running on this WLAN and provide an IP address
in a 2-6 range. This means that this network allows 5 network hosts.
The number of devices on a WLAN network depends on the subnet mask.
Here below you see typical examples of network masks and IP addresses range.
The configuration in bold is the one we suggest (if a greater number of devices is not
needed), being the one that makes it easier and quicker for Race Studio 3 the
identification of the devices in the network.
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
255.255.255.128
255.255.255.192
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.240
255.255.255.248
IP address range:
192.168.0.1 – 254
192.168.0.1 – 126
192.168.0.1 – 62
192.168.0.1 – 30
192.168.0.1 – 14
192.168.0.1 – 6
