Venus 1500 Controlled Display with
FinishLynk via Ethernet
STEP 1: Add the V1500 computer to the network already consisting
of the FinishLynx Computer, EtherLynx camera and Galaxy display.
All components must be in the same subnet/IP Range, and Subnet
mask (255.255.255.0). The recommended addressing scheme is shown
is Figure 7.
Component IP Address
Finish Lynx Capture Computer 1 192.168.0.5
FinishLynx Capture Computer 2 192.168.0.15
Finish Lynx Edit Computer 192.168.0.25
Venus 1500 Computer 192.168.0.50
Track Scoreboards 192.168.0.51 – 192.168.0.54

shown in Figure 8.
STEP 3:
While connected to the sign, verify that Port 1-3 are set up as
follows:
Port 1
