The scoreboard stopped showing FinishLynx data. What do I do?
Keep timing. The scoreboard is a display only: FinishLynx captures and times without it. Fix the board between races.
FinishLynx captures and times without the scoreboard, so run the events and read results from the screen or printouts, then fix the board between races.
A board that shows nothing is usually the wrong scoreboard script, communication settings or COM port in the Scoreboard options, or a bad connection. Check the scoreboard scripts library for your display's script and settings, and Scoreboards in the manual for the setup.

- Can I send data to my scoreboard over the Ethernet network? — Yes, with every display. The built-in Network COM Port feature adds Network (connect), (listen) and (UDP) to the serial port lists; a SeriaLynx converts Ethernet to serial for boards with a serial input.
- Why isn't SeriaLynx sending data to the display board, or receiving data from a wind gauge? — Check every wire is secure, that you can ping the SeriaLynx (and the Access Point first if it's wireless), and that the Scoreboard or Wind options in FinishLynx have its IP address and port.
