 [attachment:Flarmradar_GS6.png The concept] of the client is quite simple, as it acts similar as a regular 3rd party product. While these are mostly hardware devices, our client is a piece of software that reads the Data Port from any regular FLARM device (RS232) and streams the data (via the HTTP protocol) to the Flarmradar Server. Since data streaming does not require much computing power, a mini-computer like the [http://www.raspberrypi.org Raspberry PI] is sufficient. This is a credit-card sized computer that is able to run a Linux operating system (Raspbian) at negligible cost (50$ or so). For standalone installations with a local Flarmradar-Server, the client can be installed alternatively on the same computer where the Flarmradar-Server is installed.

 Follow our [wiki:construction_guide Construction Guide] to build up a Flarmradar Ground Station. Our [wiki:FAQ FAQ] might also have answers to questions that come up while installing and launching a Flarmradar Ground Station.
 
 While the Construction Guide shows the most convenient setup, [wiki:construction_manual more specialized configurations] (WLAN, Battery powered stations, low-budget implementations, etc.) are also possible. But this is more for people that are not afraid of burning their own fingers when working with the soldering iron.

 === The Flarm-Radar Server ===
 
-... needs some writing.
+The server analyzes the data stream from the client and detects specific events, like starts or landings. Note that the server only stores the derived events in its local database, not the entire dataastream. It offers a REST interface that allows accounting systems to retrieve the data.
