SpotCollector Online Help Contents
If your PC is connected to a local area network (LAN), you can view the most recent entries in SpotCollector's Spot Database from any other PC on your LAN using a standard web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Opera. SpotCollector's built-in web server is controlled by the settings in the Web Server panel on the Configuration window's Spot Database tab; these settings determine how many Spot Database entries are displayed, and how frequently the display is updated. The automatically-generated web page also includes the most recently-reported WWV solar conditions along the bottom.
If the network name of the PC running SpotCollector is Fido, then the URL http://fido/spots will display the Spot Database in any web browser on your LAN. Alternatively, you can use the network address of the PC running SpotCollector, e.g. http://192.168.1.102/spots .
You can prevent the web server from responding to requests from PCs on your network by unchecking the Web Server Enable box.
