Where:

  • Protocol: select the appropriate server protocol (use HTTPS if your server has this feature. Read more about HTTPS here).
  • Host/IP: type the hostname or IP address of your server. Preferably, use the DNS name if your server has this feature (e.g. demo.gpsgate.com) instead of the IP address.
  • Port: the is 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS). Read more about HTTPS here.
  • IIS name: blank by default.
  • Identifier: this is the user identifier, that corresponds to the field Tracker App ID (on the Device page in the user properties in the web UI). This number should be unique for the whole server. You can input it manually, and it should match the one for the user in the desktop application.

Now the Tracker application should be connected:
