Using the Windmill Client

Once the Windmill Client is successfully installed, you can use the program to install and/or update DataSplice and other software packages on the mobile device.

While Windmill should automatically detect and notify you of updated packages, you can manually run Windmill at any time to check for further updates, download new packages, or repair existing ones. If an update to Windmill itself is available, it will appear in the update list and can be installed in the same way as any other package. To manually launch the Windmill Client, tap Start > Programs. Then select the Windmill Client icon Windmill Client Icon .

Set Server

If you have just finished installing the Windmill Client for the first time, you will immediately be taken to the Set Server screen. If you manually launched the Windmill Client, tap File > Set Server to get to this screen. Here, you will be prompted to enter your server address, Windmill group, and password in the corresponding fields. Windmill uses this authentication information to provide you with access to the specific software packages that you need. The Server Address field should automatically be filled in with the correct address of http://windmill.datasplice.com/Windmill. You will need to enter your appropriate Windmill group and password information. If you do not know this information, please contact us at datasplice@datasplice.com.
