Connecting To JetStream¶
There are several ways to interact with JetStream. The simplest way is to use the Client Application, which is available for download.
You may need to configure other hardware or software depending on your network setup as outlined below.
Local Machine¶
Connecting to the JetStream server from the same machine requires no additional setup. Simply connect to:
- Host/IP:
localhost
Local Network¶
Connecting to the JetStream server from a machine on the same network as the server requires first finding the IP address of the server. This can be done by running the following from a command prompt on the server machine:
- Linux:
ip a - macOS:
ifconfig - Windows:
ipconfig
These commands may list multiple IP address. To check which one applies, you can run ping <ipaddress> from a command prompt on the client machine.
Note that the OS on the server machine may have a firewall that prevents connections. If connections are refused, see Firewalls.
