Product overview
ScoreLink+ interfaces directly to your scoreboard controller, decodes the data and allows the data to be accessed locally over a TCP Connection or via Genius Cloud Servers.
The scoreboard connection can be wired or wireless depending on the option ordered. Other equipment on the venue LAN, such as streaming systems, graphics generators and displays - can also use the data.

Installation process
1️⃣Connect the ScoreLink+ to the venue network. This can be done with an Ethernet Cable or a Wi-Fi connection:
| Wi-Fi Connection | Ethernet connection |
|
1. Power on the unit by connecting one end of the included A/C Adapter to a power source, and the other end - to the ScoreLink+ power supply port. The LED indicator will light and after a few seconds will start blinking indicating the boot process has begun. After about 30 seconds the OLED display will display the product version number and the eth0 and wlan0 status.
The password for the Access Point is the HEX number displayed
|
1. Connect ScoreLink+ directly to the venue network via the network port. 2. If the venue port has POE (Power Over Ethernet) available, and the ScoreLink+ has the POE option - the power supply will not be necessary. If the venue’s network does not have POE - please, use the A/C Adapter to power the device. 3. Check page 1 on the OLED Display, make sure the field eth0 shows a valid IP address (i.e., 192.168.1.8). |
2️⃣ Connect ScoreLink+ to the scoreboard controller using the included multi-interface cable. Depending on the hardware available, you would need to connect all the plugs to the controller.
3️⃣ Open a web browser and enter the IP address listed on page 1 of the OLED display for the Ethernet or Wi-Fi connections (i.e., 192.168.1.6).
