FIXME In 4. correct the link to the "service->User-data page"

The lightning detector is put into operation as follows:

  - Write a short email request to [[mailto:blitzortung@gmx.org|blitzortung@gmx.org]] for a new user account if you do not already have one. You need only one account independently of the number of station you operate and regions you supply.
  - Install the SystemRED firmware on the STM32F4DISCOVERY board as described in Section [[en:hardware:red:operation:fw_installation|Firmware installation]]. The link to the [[en:hardware:firmware:changelog|firmware pages]] can be found in the [[https://tracker.blitzortung.org/firmware/|Compendium]] section of [[http://www.blitzortung.org|www.Blitzortung.org]].
  - Connect the controller to a local area network using DHCP (or static IP 192.168.1.235) and use a web browser to open the web interface of the controller. There you can adjust the lightning detector, see Section [[en:hardware:red:operation:user_interface|User interfaces]]. You find the IP address of the controller at the Display.
  - Assign the station at the Services->User-data page of [[http://www.blitzortung.org|www.Blitzortung.org]] to your user account. That is, insert the Device-ID of your STM32F4DISCOVERY board to the field "Assign a new Station by Device-ID:" and acknowledge by "Save". You will find the 24 digits hexadecimal Device-ID on the webpage of the controller at the Status page in paragraph Controller/CPU paragraph. The station prints this ID also on its LCD, until it is assigned. Do not insert the "-" characters between the 4-digit blocks.
  - Check from time to time that your system is still running and then enjoy your lightning detection.
