2. Requirements
2.1. Network Requirements
The X-Oneclient workstation and the X-One server hardware need to be connected by a 1
Gbps link. This link can go through a switch or a direct connection.
Type of Link
The type of link to use depends on the distance between the client and server:
• When the distance between the client and the server hardware is smaller than 80m, a
standard Cat 6 network cable is enough.
• When the distance is greater than 80, the connection must go over a fiber link.
This can be achieved by extending the Cat 6 cable with fiber media converters, or by
ordering the SFP+ Fiber option on the client and/or the server.
2.2. Other Technical Requirements
Recommendations When Working with Extenders
It can happen that extenders are used for the screen, keyboard, mouse and BEPlay.
The USB extenders used for the keyboard and mouse must support HID devices (USB
HID class).
The USB extenders used for the touch screen(s) and BEPlay must be USB 2.0 extenders.
It is important to respect the manufacturer’s recommendation in terms of distances
between the machine and USB device and grade of cable.
Recommendations When Working with Two Screens
When working with 2 screens, both screens must be:
• the same resolution;
• either 2 touch screens or 2 non-touch screens.
