Connect the PC

Set up the PC's Ethernet adapter so VTrackToolkit can reach the launch monitor. Setup → Network often finds it on its own; do this when it does not.

1. 1

   Use a Direct Cable

   Connect the launch monitor straight to a 1 Gbps Ethernet port on the PC, with no switch, router or hub in between. Turn off Wi-Fi and VPN while playing.

2. 2

   Set the IP Address

   In Windows, open View network connections → the launch monitor's Ethernet → Properties → Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) → Properties. Enter IP address 172.16.1.100 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

3. 3

   Change the Advanced Settings

   On the same Ethernet, open Properties → Configure → Advanced. Set Jumbo Packet to 9014 Bytes, and Receive Buffers and Transmit Buffers to Maximum.

4. 4

   Allow Firewall Access

   The first time VTrackToolkit starts, Windows asks to add the firewall rule it needs to talk to the sensor (“Network Command Shell”, verified publisher Microsoft Windows). Click Yes. It asks again the first time after each update; click Yes again.

5. 5

   Check the Connection

   In VTrackToolkit open Setup → Network. The adapter should show Connected at 1.0 Gbps, with “Sensor is connected.” under the list.

Link speed stuck at 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps? Try the supplied CAT6 cable, then another port or adapter with Speed & Duplex set to Auto Negotiation. If it stays below 1 Gbps, the launch monitor's Ethernet port may be faulty.
