The following settings will need to be updated prior to each meet

1. Set LIF folder by going to Options -> Database.  
   • The input and output folder should be the same.  
   • Your Hytek .EVT file for the meet should also point to this folder.  Note the location
2. Run Live Results program on Hytek computer
   • Open MileSplit Live and login
   • Select your meet 
   • Point the FinishLynx directory to the same folder where you put your .EVT file
   • Click "Begin Publishing"

Other helpful tips: 

1. Turn off any firewall settings that might block ports on your timing computer.
2. Be sure to use your IPv4 address for the ethernet adapter used to connect to your FinishLynx computer in step 2. Non of the other ip addresses will work.
3. If you want to show more than 300 rows, check "Paging" in step 5 and set "Size" to 300
4. If the scoreboard isn't working, try changing the Network (UDP) IP address to 255.255.255.255
