Network Connections
The ETHERNET jack allows Real-Time Data (RTD) to be sent over a local area network and
connection to the Daktronics Pro Swimming software (version 3�0+) and Hy-Tek MEET
MANAGER (version 5�0+).
Connect a Cat5 Ethernet cable between the ETHERNET jack on the OmniSport 2000
console (Figure 29) and a network hub (Figure 30).
Connect a Cat5 Ethernet cable between the network hub (Figure 31) and the Daktronics
Pro Swimming software, Hy-Tek MEET MANAGER software, and/or Daktronics matrix
display control computer (Figure 32). Connect as many computers as the network hub
supports.
Data is sent using UDP protocol as a broadcast packet. The OmniSport 2000 currently
operates using a static IP address. The default address and subnet mask are used with
Daktronics control system networks. If the console is going to operate on a network other
than for a Daktronics control system, an assigned IP address must be obtained and set
in the console. The subnet mask must also be set appropriately for the network. Consult
the facility’s network administrator, and refer to the Setup Network Menu sections of this
manual to change the settings as needed.
Note: Older versions of the console (shipped prior to June 2013) do not have the
ETHERNET jack. If using one of these older consoles, any references in this manual
about the Ethernet jack and network setup may be disregarded. To upgrade,
please contact Daktronics.
