Configure MiniBook

MiniBook sends its radio status (and the last-worked callsign) over UDP. You point that output at the Web Dashboard Feeder, and the feeder forwards it to HAM4LIFE. Two things to set: the feeder (which port it listens on) and MiniBook (where it sends).

1 — Feeder: enable the UDP receiver

In the feeder open the UDP Receiver tab and tick Enable UDP receiver. Leave UDP IP at 0.0.0.0 (listens on all interfaces — same-PC and network broadcasts) and set UDP Port to the port you will use for MiniBook (a dedicated port such as 2242 is recommended — see the note below).

Feeder — UDP Receiver tab: enable it, IP `0.0.0.0`, and the UDP port you will send MiniBook to.

2 — MiniBook: add a UDP Radio Status destination

In MiniBook open Preferences → UDP Radio Status and tick Enable UDP Radio Status output. Under Destinations, click Add… and create an entry aimed at the feeder:

Name — anything, e.g. "Web Feeder".
IP address — 127.0.0.1 (feeder on the same PC).
Port — the same port you set in the feeder.

You can keep several destinations and use the On tick to enable or disable each one without deleting it — so a "General" entry can keep feeding other apps while a dedicated entry feeds the Web Dashboard Feeder.

MiniBook UDP Radio Status settings — MiniBook — Preferences → UDP Radio Status: a managed list of destinations (name, IP, port, on/off). The dedicated "Web Feeder" entry points at the feeder's IP/port.

Port must match: the destination port in MiniBook and the UDP Port in the feeder must be the same. Use one dedicated port (e.g. 2242) everywhere — see the port tip on the overview. Then check the feeder's Live Status tab: it should show incoming data.
