Durell’s Web-Link Module

 

The standard setup described below is for users who want the standard web link module hosted on our own secure web server which can then be linked to from the user’s own website.

 

For non-standard setups, such as using the web link to connect to data collected by pages hosted on a different web server, please contact Durell on 01823-326324
