You must ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements outlined. However, we strongly suggest you follow the recommended requirements or greater to ensure performance of your system is suitable to business operations.

The requirements for memory and processors are indicative only, and more RAM or disk space may be required when running Inventory software in conjunction with 3rd Party software.

Important note: Inventory Controller XE software will run on the minimum requirements when no other applications (including virus scanners), other than the operating system, are running.

If you use Inventory Controller XE software and other applications simultaneously, ensure that your system meets at least the recommended requirements.

Network connectivity

If operating on a network, the following areas will impact performance: 
Cabling will impact significantly on the reliability and speed of your software. 
A minimum of UTP Category 5e cabling is required as it offers the best reliability and performance for your practice. 
For local area networks, we recommend investing in 1GBps switches and 1GBps network cards. 
We recommend that only necessary protocols are loaded on both the server and workstation. 
Terminal Server Client access via wireless is not recommended always use a fixed network connection where possible.
Virus Scanning
It is extremely important that your organisation is protected from virus infection. However, it is also important that your virus scanning software does not adversely impact the performance of your network and software. 
Common settings in virus scanners that impact performance;
If a virus scanner is installed on both your server and workstation, and both are set to scan both incoming and outgoing files, you may be scanning each file twice (once at the server end and once at the workstation).
