3Com 3CRWX120695A - Hardware Requirements for 3 WXM Monitoring Service; Software Requirements

20 CHAPTER 1: INSTALLING 3WXM
Hardware
Requirements for
3WXM Monitoring
Service
Table 4 shows the minimum and recommended requirements to run the
3WXM monitoring service.
Table 5 contains general recommended guidelines for hardware
requirements and memory allocation based on the number of radios and
WX switches your server will support. A larger number of WX switches
implies more connections and data processing, and consequently, more
CPU is required. A larger number of radios implies more data (including
client sessions) which requires more RAM and storage.
Software
Requirements
3WXM client and 3WXM monitoring services are each supported on the
following operating systems:
■ Microsoft Windows Server 2003
■ Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later
■ Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4
