Install BBT software

Contact us to get the installation file BBTinstaller.exe, if you don't have it already.
Start the installer by double-clicking it. It will update itself if needed
Follow the simple steps to complete the installation

Note: It is a requirement that you have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 on your computer. This is normally handled by Windows itself and is most likely not something you have to worry about.

Install a database server

Note: This step can be skipped if you only need to connect to other timing servers than your own computer.

You need to install a database server to store all the information in. Currently BBT only supports MySQL server, which is free software.Remember the administrator (root) password you selected during installation.

If you already have MySQL installed, you can skip this step.

Configuring BBT

Note: This step can be skipped if you only need to connect to other timing servers than your own computer.

Enter license key

Under the “License” menu in the right side, you need to enter your license key. The key will be provided to you by us. Each key can be bound to a limited number of computers, depending on your license conditions.

A valid license key has this format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX

Configure database

When the MySQL server is installed, we need to tell BBT how to connect to it and get it ready for us. We do this from the 'Database' menu.

You may choose to let BBT configure everything for you, and create a new empty database (recommended). In this case choose “create a new empty database”.

Enter the username and password you chose during the MySQL installation. When you click next, BBT will set up a new fresh database for you.

For the best experience, you should enter a MySQL user that has access to creating new databases. If you just installed MySQL using this guide, this will already be the case for the default user.

Optional: Firewall rules

If you want to reach the timing computer from other computers on the network, you might want to open the ports to allow incoming connections to the server.

You can do this using “Windows Firewall with Advanced settings” from the Windows start-menu, and add an inbound rule on the following TCP ports:

TCP port 18498: Used for server-client communication
TCP port 80: Used for the built-in web interface (speaker screens etc.)
