Dehaardt Blackbox (2018+)

Dehaardt Blackbox (2018+)

This article will show you how to set up the Dehaardt Black Box timing decoder software side. This version of the Dehaardt timing system does not need a moxa or any extra files to download. 

NOTE: Make sure that the Black box is powered on via the POE (OUT), Ethernet to ethernet port (IN)

- Run IP Scan on server

- Enter IP address in Browser

Requirements before continuing

• Dehaardt Blackbox on network
  • Blackbox defaults to 192.168.1.50
  • It is on DHCP by default so this will change with the network

1. Open up an internet browser on Clubspeed Server
2. Type Blackbox's IP in Browser (Should look like the image below)
3. Click on Setup
   • Change Mode to Static IP
   • Set IP to the available IP address 
   • Match the rest of the network settings to those of the Clubspeed server
4. Scroll down to Xtra.Network
   • Change Mode to Timing Host
   • Enabled Tracks A B C D
   • Then Click Submit 
5. Navigate to System Tools on left
   • RESET Black Box
   • Navigate to new IP in browser
6. All setting should look like below (Network may vary)
7. Add the BlackBox's IP to the dbo.TimerControls Table in SQL 

1. If they have multiple tracks, they will need multiple Blackboxes, and thus have different IPs to enter in the TimerControls table. 
2. New change - the SN ## on the sector beacon needs to match the loopID in the timercontrols table
   • Ex: if you are setting up a track 2 that is using loopid 2 in the timercontrol table, the SN ## on the sector beacon needs to be SN 02

1. Change the port to 23
2. Change the Protocol to xtraTimerControl
3. Change the Options to {"OverRideLoopID":null,"AdditionalLoopsIds":[1]}
4. These option settings are based on what the sector beacon is saying on the front of it
5. Tracks may use multiple sector beacons, 1 for start-finish, one for assignment loop, one for pit entrance, etc. 
   1. Below is how the option should be set per sector beacon
   2. Sn 01 = {"OverRideLoopID":null,"AdditionalLoopsIds":[1]}
   3. Sn 02 = {"OverRideLoopID":2,"AdditionalLoopsIds":[2]}
   4. Sn 03 = {"OverRideLoopID":3,"AdditionalLoopsIds":[3]}
6. 
7. Open the Tracks table
8. Ensure the correct loopID is set for the mainloopid and assignmentloopid. 
9. Restart Main Engine
10. Open the Logs database. 
11. You should see "Connected to XtraTimer control at 192.168.10.50:8888"(Ip will be whatever you set it up to)    
    1. You will also see Ping and Pong Received messages
    2. Pinging XtraTiming decoder at 10.1.10.50:8888
    3. Pong Received for XtraTiming decoder at 10.1.10.50:8888
    4. Once a kart crosses the loop you will get a message like the below
    5. #680064:3 /S628051:232 +A +B +C +D -R \LAP1,15,1014728813,482854,645,48
    6. #680064:3 /S628051:232 +A +B +C +D -R \LAP1,15,1014728813,482854,645,48
12. The transponder number of the kart is listed within the log. S628051:232 <Bold = #
