<title>Description</title>
<para>&kstars; allows you to configure and control astronomical instruments
such as telescopes and focusers via the INDI protocol.
<command>indiserver</command> is a server that sits between the &kstars;
user interface and the low-level hardware drivers.</para>
<para>The <acronym>INDI</acronym> server is a network server, int hat either
local or remote clients may connect to it to control astronomical
instruments. The <acronym>INDI</acronym> server must be running on the
machine that is physically connected to the astronomical instruments.</para>
<note><para>There is usually no need to run the <acronym>INDI</acronym>
server directly. Using the &kstars; device manager, you can set up
astronomical instruments and start or stop the <acronym>INDI</acronym>
server all from within &kstars;</para></note>
<para>Much more detailed information is available in the &kstars; handbook,
as described below.</para>
<para>&kstars; is a graphical desktop planetarium for &kde;, and forms part
of the &kde; edutainment module.</para>
