Adding a WMS Server in MapInfo Professional
16
Before you can access a WMS server, you must first add it to the list of available servers.
To add a WMS server:
1. On the Options menu, select Preferences > Web Services.
2. In the Web Services Preferences dialog box, select the WMS tab.
3. Click Servers to open the WMS Servers List dialog box.
4. Click Add to open the WMS Server Information dialog box.
In the WMS Server Information dialog box you can add the new web server address and description
in the fields provided.
5. Enter the WMS server's URL in the Server URL field.
Click Test URL to ensure that MapInfo Professional can locate the server.
Click Get Description to get the server-provided description, or enter your own description.
6. If you know that the connect times, send times, or receive times for this server are particularly long
or unusually short, you may want to override the default values for this server.
To establish specific overrides for this server, select the Override Default Values check box and
enter new values, as appropriate, in the following fields:
Field
Connect Timeout
Send Timeout
Receive Timeout
Description
Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) allowed to establish an Internet
connection request to a Web Map server. If the request takes longer than
this value, a timeout occurs. The default connect timeout is 60 seconds.
Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) allowed to send an Internet request
to a Web Map server. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout
occurs. The default send timeout is 60 seconds.
Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) allowed to begin to receive a response
from a request from a Web Map server. The download can take longer
than the timeout, but the response has to occur within the timeout setting.
The default receive timeout is 300 seconds.
7. If you want to limit the amount of time it takes to retrieve a map or if your map does not require a
great deal of detail, you may want to override the standard number of pixels that are retrieved.
