port number is 8000.
The edit box
Password
is used to protect the PC-CDU server from unauthorized access. The user
can enter in this edit box up to 128 alphanumeric characters.
If the user has selected the checkbox
Log server events
, there will be created a text log file
(
pccdu_server.log
) in
PC-CDU’s working directory. This file will contain all the information that has
been collected during the communication session between the PC-CDU server and PC-CDU client.
New information will be added to the file after another client connects to the PC-CDU server.
If the user wants to view the satellite information and the antenna’s current position in the main
windows, he/she must select the
Display data on server
checkbox. Otherwise no informa-
tion will be displayed in the window.
If the checkbox
DNS lookup
is selected, the file
pccdu_server.log
will contain the IP and DNS ad-
dresses.

port number N, which is greater or equal to 64
К
, the software will implicitly force it to

К
.
