RaceLyx serves its screens from the timing PC. Any TV, tablet or phone on the same network can open them in a browser: the full scoreboard, results, heats, walk-up registration or driver check-in.
Before you start
- Devices on the same Wi-Fi or wired network as the timing PC.

Tips
- The default port is 8080. If another program has it, RaceLyx moves up to 8081 and tells you the new address.
- A server you started comes back by itself at the next launch until you press Stop server.
- Each row's Open button opens the screen on this PC to check it.
Troubleshooting
- A tablet cannot load the address.
- Check it is on the same network, then allow RaceLyx through Windows Firewall.
- The address changed to 8081.
- Another program was using 8080. Copy the new address to your screens and OBS.
