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.
A SeriaLynx setup has several parts. Before going further, check:
- All wires are connected and secure.
- You can ping the SeriaLynx (if it is wireless, ping the Access Point first, then the SeriaLynx).
- The Scoreboard (or Wind) options in FinishLynx have the correct IP address and port selected.
For the full process, see Port settings in the manual.

- 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.
- FieldLynx fails to receive a wind reading even though the gauge is connected and working. How can I correct this? — If the gauge counts down and reads, check its battery and the USB-to-serial adapter; try the camera's C-Box or serial port instead. If the countdown never starts, check the connections and the Wind options.
- 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.
