482 Hog 4 Operations Manual
30.1 Software Installation
Hog 4 PC is a free software program that runs Hog 4 OS on Windows based computers and
can be used as an offline editor, backup server, or stand alone controller.
Hog 4 PC system requirements:
Operating System: Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit)
Processor: Dual Core 1.7Ghz or faster
Memory: 2GB minimum
Hard Drive: 5GB of free hard drive space
Since Hog 4 OS makes use of multiple processes communicating via TCP/IP sockets, some
Windows computer configurations may prevent the Hog 4 PC processes from communicating
with each other. Windows firewall, Windows Defender, and aftermarket software security
products may block TCP/IP communications needed to run Hog 4 PC or some of its services.
Please ensure that exceptions for the individual Hog 4 PC processes are enabled.
Not meeting the system requirements, a lack of an enabled network connection, or multiple
active network connections, and/or firewall settings can all result in Hog 4 PC
communication failures. These communication failures typically cause the Splash Screen to
repeatedly display ‘Scanning port 6600’ in its status window or other system errors when
launching Hog 4 PC.
