two ways: via network (Ethernet) or serial (COM) port.
Network Setup

ETHERNET jack on the OmniSport 2000 timer as well as another cable running from
the router to the Pro Swimming computer’s network jack.
2. Power on the console, set the name, date, and time, and then select 1-SWIMMING.
3. Start the Pro Swimming software (see Section 6.3).
4. Go to Options > Configure and click on the Comm Ports tab (Figure 70).
5. Click Configure in the Interface Comm Port area.
6. In the window that appears (Figure 71), select UDP/IP as the Type and then click
Apply followed by Finish.
7. Back in the Interface Comm Port area, click Monitor (Figure 93).
 If the computer is receiving data in the top half of the monitor window, the
connection was made properly and the correct communication settings are
configured. Data on the bottom half is being sent by the Pro Swimming software.
 If the computer is not receiving data, ensure a proper connection between the
OmniSport 2000 console, the network router, and the Pro Swimming computer.
