This is just your standard vectronics GPS collar. They have a Vhf to find the dogs also. You remove the magnet to turn it on.

Keeping your desk neat and well organised is essential. As is tea.
Pause while I check whether we want network set up or single user set up.
My bets are on network but let& #39;s find out before I plow ahead.

There are 233 pages of instructions that come with this which is...fun. So I& #39;ve mostly been working out what bits are relevant this week.
So a few hours of going round in circles about where best to set up the data storage service.
There are so many options but the one I would like to happen (auto backup to Teams) is not a thing XD
WHY IS IT ON A CD. I want to put the DSS on my work PC but the software is literally on a CD so I need to go and put it in my work computer to do that so can& #39;t do it remotely. Blargh.
Can I wetransfer the CD contents to myself https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">
702 MB. I have hope. Let& #39;s try this.
Meeting interlude.
I& #39;m now re-downloading the software onto my work computer.
Ominously the logo is a crossed out deer. Does this GPS collar...cancel deer?
Also the software is now on my work computer, as you can see this a speedy and easy setup.
Current status: Setting up an SMTP server so it will email me if something goes wrong. Why is this not a default where you can just put your email in and it does it for you *crying*
what even goes in host name. It& #39;d be really good if the instructions gave you worked examples...
This is real life wildlife biology folks I hope you are enjoying it.
The software now keeps timing out and giving me an error message so it& #39;s going super well.
I have restarted the computer, that& #39;ll definitely fix it.
It legit did.
