Wireless Racing, how to install the wireless connection

Post by Martins92 » January 20th, 2021, 6:25 pm

Hi everybody,

I am new to this forum, and i checked whether this question has been posted. I think no in this terms.

I would like to organise races with our friends with four of the concept 2 rowers we have. We have a mix of PM4 and PM5.
But as i read the instuctions to set up for wireless races :
https://www.concept2.com/service/monito ... acing-pm4s
https://www.concept2.com/files/pdf/us/m ... nstrux.pdf

It does not appear when to activate the wireless bluetooth connection between the machines. It jumps directly to "select game", "select race", "create race", "Race Length", etc...So how and when does the wireless connection is established ?

Is it the same procedure with PM5 ?

Thanks for you answers

Once you've created the race on one (master) PM4 or PM5. The same sequence of Games -> Race on the second PM4 or PM5 has a new option of "find race".

The other way to run races is to wire all the PM4s & PM5s to a laptop with a USB hub and run the venue racing software on that laptop.

If you want to row across the internets get a copy of RowPro and a single user licence for each PM4 or PM5.

Ok, thanks so much for the quick answer :D

Does that mean that the wireless connection is established automatically in the background ?
