In order to connect TaekoPlan and a scoreboard system like adidas, Budoscore or Daedo 2014/2016, you need to setup a network environment.
This is also required when using the caller and beamer modules.
Network setup:
When using TaekoPlan you have to make the correct network connections. All computers should be connected to a hub/switch. The network addresses should be in the same segment, for instance 192.168.1.xxx (xxx between 1 and 254).
The data directory of the computer on which TaekoPlan is running, needs to be shared as ‘Data’ or any name.
On the individual computers on the jury tables, this share needs to be connected as a drive like ‘X:’. The option ‘Allow network users to change my files’ should be activated.
Please consult a network specialist in case of trouble.
Most common issue is a Firewall that is active. Check the Windows Firewall settings in the Control Panel and take care that it is switched off.
Daedo2014/2016
For this connection you do not need to share a folder. Just take care to have a working network connection.
Switch off firewalls as it is a closed network.
If you do not switch the firewall off, it might block traffic on ports higher than 2000 (used by the Daedo connection).
To be sure that the network connection is working, perform a ping on the scoreboard system to check if the server is reachable.
For that open a CMD box and type:
ping 192.168.x.x (server ip address).
The ping should reply with 4 lines stating the connection is ok.
