4 First steps
4.1 Configuration of the network
The timekeeping software of RC-Timing (RCM Ultimate, RCM Professional, RCM
Advanced, RCM Beginners and RCM Kart) is equipped with a Service-Discovery-
Manager, which enables an automatic connection to the clients like RCM Signal,
RCM Voice and all the others.
But first of all, the interface in the timekeeping software has to be enabled. Please
run RCM Ultimate (or another application RCM Signal is cooperating) and go to
Settings/Interfaces. The checkbox “Signal Interface activated” must be activated. If
not, please do it and confirm this change with Save. Depending on the number of
Signal programs you have installed in your network, the number of connections
must be set high enough.
Now you start RCM Signal and the program find the connection automatically,
shown by the hint in the footline „Connected to RCM Signal Interface“.
If this is not the case and in the footline “Connection Timeout!!!” is written,
RCM Signal is not connected to RCM Ultimate. In addition the bar just below
the displayed clocks is colored red. You have to set the IP-address of the server
manually.
Please run again RCM Ultimate (or another application RCM Signal is cooperating)
and go to Settings/Interfaces.
In the left column of the window you mark Signal.
In the right column you now see the Server-IP-Address which must be set in RCM
Signal.
