Selecting a LoggerNet Server

The Log into LoggerNet Server dialog box comes up automatically the first time LNDB is run, once the LNDB Service is installed and started. It can be opened at any time from the File > Select LoggerNet Server menu item or by double-clicking on the LN Connection Status Label on the Status Bar.

This dialog box allows you to specify the computer running the LoggerNet server to which LNDB should connect. The dialog box has the following fields:

Server Address - This is the TCP/IP address of the computer running the LoggerNet server to which you are trying to connect. This must be the valid name of an existing computer or a TCP/IP address (in the form ###.###.###.### for an IPv4 address or [####:####:####:####:####:####:####:####] for an IPv6 address). If the software server resides on the same computer as the client, you can simply type in LocalHost for the server name.

NOTE:

Note that if you have used a command line argument to change LoggerNet’s default port number, you must specify this alternate port number when entering the Server Address (e.g., LocalHost:6700 or 192.168.7.123:6700).

Username - Your username on the LoggerNet server.

Password - Your password for the LoggerNet server.

The User Name and Password fields are required only if your server administrator has set up security on your LoggerNet server.

Each time you start the client, you will be prompted to enter this information. However, you can save the login information by selecting the Remember username and password check box, or you can select the Automatically login to this server check box to skip this window and use the information from the last session.

NOTE:

All information must be saved for the LNDB Engine. The Remember username and password check box and the Automatically login to this server check box apply only to the LNDB Manager.

If you are connecting to a remote LoggerNet server, the LoggerNet server must have Remote Connections enabled (Tools > Options > Allow Remote Connections) in order for LNDB to be able to connect to the server.
