 ===== Manual Setup =====
-To set up an OPAC station manually, you will need to "hard-code" the URL with your library's database ID (found here: [[https://pines.georgialibraries.org/ids]]). In your OPAC station's browser, set the URL for the home page to:

-The manual approach requires that you physically set the URL at each of your libraries' OPAC stations. This is the only way for library systems behind a single public IP address to use this feature.

Typically, this will be set to the same ID.)

 The server side file is consulted each time anyone visits http://gapines.org, and if their IP matches a range on our list, they will be redirected to searching that library or system.
