Important Items to remember when creating shortcuts from your PC/Laptop

1. Access to the server from your PC/Laptop is at the discretion of your IT Department. In most cases, access to the Spindle server over the plant network is only available while you are in the plant and may not be available over any VPN connection to the plant from offsite locations.
2. Most server IP addresses are DHCP also referred to as Dynamic. This means the IP address in the URL entered on the shortcut is subject to change at the discretion of your IT Department.
