WHOS-IN Pro - Admin Help
System Requirements:
SERVER:
Windows compatible network server capable of supporting UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path names such as:
Win95, 98, ME, 2000, NT, XP, 2003 Server, Vista, Novell 4.x and others. (Check your server is capable)
Approximately 15Mb hard disk space.
NOTE: No applications actually 'run' on the server (unless the server also happens to be a shared PC on a
peer-to-peer network).
WORKSTATIONS:
Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista.
Win95 and Win98 may also run *IF* Office/Access 2000 *OR* the MS Jet 8 Service Pack has been installed.
LAN Card / Network connection.
Pentium 100 or greater preferred.
1024x768 screen resolution (recommended)
NOTE: Under normal circumstances NO files are copied to the workstations. Only an Icon (linking to the
user.exe file on the server) is required on the workstations.
REMOTE SERVERS:
Same as server above, but also including HIGH SPEED (Megabits per second) WAN (Wide Area Network) connection.
(Microwave or Optical Fiber preferred)
NOT RECOMMENDED:
WAN (Wide Area Network) connections using ISDN or slow DSL.
RAS (Remote Access Server) dialup connections using a MODEM.
NOTE: The data transmission speed for both ISDN (64 and 128k) and modems is too slow for acceptable response
times due to the amount of data transmitted.
Peer-to-peer Network Limitations:
Windows XP is no longer recommended as a peer-to-peer server for WHOS-IN due to the simultaneous connection limit
(20 users for XP SP1 and 10 users for XP Service Pack 2).
Our recommendation, is to run an OLD PC with Win98 as your WHOS-IN server, which bypasses the XP limitations.
