BASIC SETUP
EQUIPMENT
Equipment Required
1. A computer with a 486DX or higher (Pentium or similar) microprocessor. Larger hard drives (2 G or more) will store more
employee data.
2. Windows operating system (Windows NT/2000/XP/7/8).
3. An operable serial communication (comm.) port with the standard +/-12 volt signal levels, (or a USB port with a fully compliant
+/-12V RS232 to USB converter) on the computer. HID/CASI-RUSCO/MOTOROLA/AWID USB proximity readers require a
USB port. The RS232 versions require an additional serial communication port (or USB to RS232 converter). Note that some
laptops may not use the full legal standard +/-12 volt RS232 comm. port signal levels, so they will not work, in which case use
an RS232/USB converter..
4. A LAN network-able system is needed for networking multiple testers. This may be a hard wire or wireless modem. (Static
Solutions is not responsible for the installation or maintenance of the network after the software is installed.)
5. To use e-mail feature, users will need an SMPT email host provider, or a MAPI compliant e-mail program such as Microsoft
Outlook 2000 (without the email security update) Outlook Express, or Windows Live Mail (if using Windows 7 OS). Eudora
(www.eudora.com) also claims to be MAPI compatible.
