System sketch of how the different units are connected to the eScoreNet and the shooting range network.

To access the eHub the first time, you need to connect your tablet or PC to the eScoreNet.

eScoreNet is the closed network for the eScore system only, securely connecting eScore equipment together.

eScoreNet is available by wired and WiFi connection.

Wired connection

You need to connect to one of the spare ports in the switch located in the "power cabinet with eHub". Connected devices will get an IP-address from the eScoreNet.

The switch is located inside the "power cabinet with eHub" (red rectangle).

Wireless connection (WiFi)

You need to connect to the firing line wireless network with SSID KTS_FL_XX, where XX is system number, e.g. KTS_FL_01. Connected devices will get an IP-address from the eScoreNet.

The username and password is printed on a label on the monitor antenna.

Enter 10.10.0.1 in your favorite internet browser to get access to the eHub user interface.


If the eHub is connected to your local club network trough the WAN port in the eHub cabinet, you can access the eHub by entering the host IP-address of the eHub.

Shooting range network

We reccomend that you connect to the eHub trough your local shooting range network, so that that you also get access to internet and printers. 

Now that you already are connected to the internal eScoreNet, you can get the host IP-address by expanding the question below.

Access to the eHub trough the local shooting range network

Your PC or tablet, and eHub needs to be connected to the local shooting range network

Enter the host IP-address of the eHub into your favorite web browser:

The local address is provided by the router on the local shooting range network, and will vary from range to range.

Remember to reserve the eHub host IP-address

As IP-addresses provided by the router(DHCP) most probably will change over time, for instance after a reboot, it is advised  to reserve the given IP-address. Please contact your range IT admin to help you with this.

Connected units

All units are automatically identified by the system. But for eScore to know how many targets, antennas and shooter monitors that belongs to the range, we need to register them.

By doing this we know how many units to expect, and the system will immediately tell if not all units are powered on or there is an issue with one of the units. The range status is available by the eStatus page.

How to register connected units

First, you need to access the eHub user interface. And then go to "Settings" page.

Click or tap "configure connected units" to expand.Normally all targets has been pre-configured with correct target numbers, so all you need to do is scroll down to "REGISTER CURRENT UNITS" and click the button. All these units will be registered to belong to this range. When checking for status, it will expect these units to be powered on and working, if not you will get warnings or alarms.

Assign

It is possible to change or alter the pre-configure lane number if needed.

Decision Tree

In Settings->"Configure connected units", it is possible to register connected units and assign lane numbers to targets.

Unregistered units

For unregistered units, you need to click or tap the plus icon to add the target to the registered units. We will suggest the default value that has been pre-configured, but it is possible to re-assign to another lane number.
