Previous  Top  Next

In HY-TEK's MEET MANAGER, click Run / Interfaces / HY-WIRE to display the Create / Update HY-WIRE Start Lists window shown below.

Follow these procedures to enable MEET MANAGER to broadcast wireless data for use by Wi-Fi enabled Palm OS's and Wi-Fi enabled Pocket PC's loaded with HY-TEK's HY-WIRE software.

·Check the Activate the HY-WIRE System check box.  
·Change the Data Location to C:\Hy-Wire if it is not already set to that.  
·Start NetExchange and minimize it after confirming that the Event Files and Results Files folders are set to C:\Hy-Wire.  
·If you are starting a new meet, click Purge Files to clear out all previous HY-WIRE data.  
·Select one or more sessions from the Session List and click Create Startup Files. Do not select All Sessions unless it is a small meet. The size of the Start List file cannot be greater than 64K. If it is, MM will not create the Start List and will provide a message to use one session only. Whether the start lists are created or not, you will have the option to create result files for any heats that may have been completed. Please note that events that have alpha-numeric event numbering, such as 14A, will not be sent to HY-WIRE.  
·Provide the Local Computer's IP Address to all HY-WIRE users. In the example below, the IP address is 192.168.0.101. Each HY-WIRE user must select Preferences / Comm in their HY-WIRE software and enter this IP address. Each HY-WIRE user should also enter 1950 for the Port to match the Port Number in NetExchange described below.

NetExchange

NetExchange
is a program that is installed with MEET MANAGER that enables the Wireless Palms and Wireless Pocket PC's to receive the HY-WIRE data.

HY-WIRE Data Location
The default data location for the data files for HY-WIRE is C:\Hy-Wire. If you change this data location, you must also change this shared location for Event Files and Results Files within NetExchange. We recommend that you leave the default directories as C:\Hy-Wire. You must start NetExchange and when you do, the following window below will appear. Ignore the Palm Updates directory and leave the Port Number at 1950. After NetExchange starts, minimize it by clicking the dash at the upper right.

The IP Address will be displayed. After writing down the IP Address, type Exit on the screen and press Enter to get back to the normal windows screen.
