Yes. If your SpeedLane Pro features the Ethernet option, you may plug the RJ45 connector directly into the Windows PC Ethernet RJ45 connector to connect via Ethernet.
Follow the steps below:
- Ensure you have the latest version of the Houston Radar Stats Analyzer Pro software installed on your Windows PC (sorry, Mac is not supported).
- Power up the SpeedLane Pro. Wait about 45 seconds for the unit to boot up and auto configure an IP address.
- Plug in the RJ45 connector at the end of the SpeedLane Pro cable to the RJ45 connector on the PC. Ensure Link light comes on. Activity light may not flash.
- Launch the Houston Radar Stats Analyzer pro by clicking on the shortcut on your desktop (look for our company ‘swirl’ icon on your desktop)
- Click on “Connect to Radar” button. Wait for the window to pop up.
- Pull down the “Connect to Radar On…” pull down menu. You should have a “Localnetwork:<speedlane unique name here>” entry.
- Click on connect to radar. You will get a “Radar Found” message. Click ok on the two pop-up boxes. You are connected.
