RACE RESULT Decoders can be connected via ethernet cable directly to your computer or to any local network. The decoder has two ethernet ports located on the main panel, either of these can be used to connect to your computer or network.
When connecting a decoder via a local network you will need to run the RACE RESULT Web Server on your computer in order to connect through RACE RESULT 14.
Note that many laptops do not offer an ethernet port as standard so it may be necessary to use a USB-Ethernet dongle if you plan to connect directly to your computer.
When connecting to a network every device will be assigned an IP address, this is a unique identifier for each device. If your network contains a router then normally this will automatically assign IP addresses, otherwise, it may be necessary to manually assign IP addresses, particularly if you are connecting directly to your computer.
For more information on network configuration see the Networking Guide
By default, the system will use a static IP assignment To manually change the IP address on the decoder, open the Menu and navigate to the network settings.
You can change the IP configuration to automatic by changing the value for Use DHCP for Ethernet to Yes, or select the manual ethernet configuration.
