Powerlifting Live
Contents
Introduction
Powerlifting Live is a system made to simplify and optimize the organizing of powerlifting competitions. It handles tasks like entering and display of results, timers, document creation and presenting other information to the audience, coaches and lifters.
Installation
System requirements
Powerlifting Live requires Windows XP or later, and 1 GB RAM or more. All major browsers are supported, but Chrome is recommended.
Downloading
Powerlifting Live can be downloaded from [www.powerliftinglive.com]. After running the installation program you might get prompted by the firewall asking for permission. If you want to enable the online functionality or sharing Powerlifting Live over a local network you need to confirm access at this point.
Starting/closing the system
The system is started from the start menu in the folder called Powerlifting Live. The default web browser will open the administration interface. In case you want to use a different web browser, just enter the following address: [1]. To close the system you have to right click on the icon in the system tray down to the right. Press the button "Close Powerlifting Live".
Network setup
Warning: A network setup consisting of multiple cmoputers is recommended only for people who are familiar with setting up local networks.
It is possible to connect multiple computers to the same Powerlifting Live installation by using a Local Area Network, using a wired or wireless router. By doing this you are able to set up more screens, or split up the work of entering data(so you could have a computer in the weighin to enter data directly).
The main computer needs to run the actual Powerlifting Live software, and other computers can connect to this. To do this you need to know the IP address of the computer running the software. The IP address can be located by running the cmd command in the Start Menu, and then running the ipconfig command. This will list information about your network card. Look for the part stating IP Address or IPV4 address. This address will be in a format similar to this: 192.168.0.100. After locating the IP address you need to open the following address on the connected computer(s): http://<ip>:4001/ (for instance http://192.168.0.100:4001/ ). You also need to make sure your firewall is allowing incoming connections for this to work.
