# POST settings

Click on “System Configuration”->”POST Client”.

&#x20;On this page you can define the address of the Boomerang server the gateway sends the data to. Select the tickboxes as shown below:&#x20;

The two fields that must be defined are:

* **URL** that points to the server's receiver, which in the example case is <http://www.boomerang3.com/receiver/win>),
* **Period** which defines how often the gateway itself sends its status to the server.

Note that the Period field has nothing to do with how often the node sends its data, this is only to facilitate the communication between the gateway and the server in case the nodes do not transmit data for some reason. This could happen if a node is broken or runs out of batteries, and to be able to link a new node to the gateway, first the gateway must communicate with the server by itself.&#x20;

Recommended setting for this field is 3600 seconds (i.e. 1 hour).

&#x20;Remember to click “Save” button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.boomerang3.com/win-gateway-installation-manual/gateway-configuration/post-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
