Login to the Flarmradar server (Login)

The Flarmradar server has a built-in account named 'admin' and with the default password 'flarm-radar'. This account is used to bootstrap the enitre server configuration and up the personal user accounts. It is strongly advised to lock the default admin account or change it's password

Managing user accounts

Navigate to Admin -> Masterdata and select the tab 'Users' to disply the user management screen. Initially, there is only the admin account available but you are free to create your own user accounts. The only restriction is that the UID (the login name) must differ for each account.

The Flarmradar server distincts the following distinct authorization levels:

• Locked: Account is locked out, cannot log in
• Login: Account can login to the server, see Flarm-ID's and alike
• Admin: Login and administration privileges

The user managment screen allows to

• create new users
• change user passwords
• change server authorizations

Existing fields can be changed by clicking the corresponding field and enter the new value, save the value with [Enter]. It is not possible to the UID of an account.

Managing Flarmradar Client Stations

Navigate to Admin -> Masterdata and select the tab 'Stations' to display a list of client stations. Initally, there is only the built-in station with key 'demo' available but you are free to create any number of client stations on your private server. The only restriction is that the key must be unique for each station.

Just enter a chosen client key and press enter to define a new client station. The fields 'Name' and 'ICAO' are later displayed in the menu list for this new station. Select the checkbox 'Active' to activate the station on the server side and then refresh the webpage in your browser. The station should now appear under the menu item 'Station'.

The same key as specified on this screen must be configured in the configuration file of the client. The client sends this key as part of every data package, the server ignores data from clients with unknown keys.

The meanings of the other fields are as follows:

• Runways (e.g. '06,24'): A comma separated list of runway directions. The server will try to determine the correct runways for departures and landings
• Elevation (e.g. '416'): Elevation of the runway (in AMSL)
• Antenna Level (e.g. '3'): Antenna level (in meters)
• Sensor Radius (e.g. '1500'): Departures and landings outside that radius are ignored
• Map Zoom (e.g. '13'): As the name says, values 11 .. 15 are reasonable
• Map Center(e.g. '300'): Used to position the map center
• Trace: Write the received data to the server log file if selected

Congratulations, you have now a configured Flarmradar server... and now you probably want to set up the Flarmradar client to see live data, right?
