To connect to the SpectorSoft Update Server:
The Primary Server is able to provide software updates. Communication with the SpectorSoft Update Server begins when you click the Updates button on the Primary Server Administration Window. The Primary Server computer connects to the Internet IP Address defined by the domain "u2a1376gf-43ty-245c.com." Access to this domain address must not be blocked by a network firewall.

There are three possible ways to connect to the Update Server.
Direct Connection - Use IP port 16771 to connect to the SpectorSoft server for updates.
Proxy Connection - Access the Internet via a network web proxy server (HTML). You must specify the address and port for communication.
Proxy Address - Enter the Proxy server IP address or name.
Proxy IP Port - Enter the Port used to communicate with the proxy server.
HTTP Connection - Connect to SpectorSoft via HTTP port 80. This is the default configuration. If your network has a proxy server or a firewall that filters non-standard HTTP traffic, you may need to configure one of the other options provided
To obtain the Primary Server Version:
The currently installed version of the Primary Server is displayed at the bottom of the Primary Server Properties panel.
