Settings, licence and admin mode

What is set on the station, the licence and admin mode. The Settings tab only appears in admin mode.

Station settings

  • Station name (“Poste 2”): the one the timekeeper sees in FINISH.
  • FINISH address: empty, MAPPING finds it by itself through its announcement on the network.
  • Finished races: show them or not in the Races tab.

Admin mode, Settings tab. Invented data.
  1. This station: its name (seen in FINISH) and the address of FINISH (empty: found on the network).
  2. Admin mode: the delay before it closes by itself, a new password typed twice.
  3. Distribution: automatic return, raced races in the list.
  4. “Close admin mode”: back to distribution mode.

Automatic return

Ticked: at the end of a race, its transponders that have not come back become “to return” (orange frame). Unticked: an ended race keeps its ghosts, a finished race no longer shows them.

The licence

MAPPING is free, but each station has its licence: a MAP-… token, ordered at $0 on the pricing page of the website, or provided by your federation (it is included in the competition kit). Without a valid licence, MAPPING does not connect to FINISH.

  1. Open HelpLicence…, or the Activate… button of the orange banner.
  2. Paste the token under Subscription by token, then Activate. The station needs Internet at that moment.
  3. Afterwards, the licence renews by itself when the station has Internet. To change stations: Release this computer on the old one, then activate the token on the new one.

Admin mode

By default, MAPPING is in distribution mode: the volunteer only sees the distribution, the races or the athletes on the track. The Admin mode button asks for the password provided by your federation or club; it opens the Boards and Settings tabs.

  • Close admin mode returns to distribution mode; admin mode also closes by itself after the Close by itself after (minutes without activity) delay.
  • In Settings, Change the password (the new one, twice). The password is kept on this station as a salted hash, never in clear text.
