Seeker - Manage Servers

The Manage Servers dialog can be accessed by clicking on the button located in the upper right corner of the Seeker window. The dialog displays the current DAP and WMS (Web Map Server) server connections and provides tools to add, delete, and disable DAP and WMS servers.

Add a New Server

  1. Depending on the type of server you want to add, click the Add button next to either the DAP Server or WMS Server lists .

  2. Specify the server URL (http://server_name) and click OK.

  3. The new server will be added to the appropriate list of servers.

  4. You can also right click on a server to copy the URL to your clipboard.

In the Search page, the selected DAP server provides a customized browser map and region list, and advanced search values that can be used to narrow results by metadata.

In the Results page, you can select from the list of DAP and WMS servers. When you select a server, the number of results found per server are presented. The results statistics (the number of datasets that match the search criteria) are shown with the results.
