#### **Tracking channel**

Active transponders have to use the same tracking channel as TrackBoxes. Set up with management box, default configuration: channel 1 should be different from channel for timing.&#x20;

#### **Track Box settings - Forwarding**

Set up your Track Boxes for live tracking to directly forward all the Track Pings to RACEMAP: \
Timing » Systems » Track Box Configuration Rules

![Track Box configuration](https://1672210197-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LSRNxaH2Ju9Flr7JhJD%2F-M-tpchxjfGBnlxbl7M6%2F-M-tzEF0tQr7X5QSBmWC%2FtrackBoxConfigRules.png?alt=media\&token=d2395cee-bd2f-4d06-90ee-fbfcba724bb7)

* Channel ID: using Track Boxes for live tracking requires a different channel than for timing system
* Tracking Partner: Racemap

#### **Loop box settings**

Loop box detections are forwarded with the device ID of the connected decoder. That means, Racemap has no information, if the detection is received from loop box or decoder.

* Repeat mode: Detections are forwarded directly and can be used for live visualization.
* Store mode: Detections are forwarded with delay and can not be used for live visualization, but for the replay of the contest.

Loop box detections are forwarded through the exporters with the coordinates of the

* decoder OR
* specific timing point&#x20;

  Use the automatic timing point assignment rules for these detections (based on loop ID and channel ID), if loop and channel ID have been manually defined in Main Window » Timing Points

![Set coordinates for loop boxes, independent from location of connected decoder](https://1672210197-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LSRNxaH2Ju9Flr7JhJD%2F-M-tpchxjfGBnlxbl7M6%2F-M-u-cmzugvZPZmQw3e-%2FLoopBoxes.png?alt=media\&token=6ed28413-373c-4c4c-9725-c62e29a08242)

#### Exporter to forward timing points

The exporters send reads addressed to specific timing points. Forwarding through exporters is the only way to consider decoders for predictive live tracking.&#x20;

Go to **Timing » Settings » Exporters + Tracking**: For each timing point set "Racemap" in the destination field, enter your RACE RESULT customer ID.

Go to **Timing » Chip Timing » Systems**: Click the green play button to start forwarding. Also, for each reader is a box ping sent every 4 min. That way your systems are shown in the [prediction dashboard](https://docs.racemap.com/prediction/dashboard). After the race your can use all recorded reads can be sent to RACEMAP through the play button.
