Local Area Network (LAN) Deployment Hardware Requirements There are a number of requirements that exist no matter how many users will be accessing SuccessWare®21. The individual workstation requirements are the same regardless of the number of users. Server hardware requirements are dependant upon the number of users who will be accessing SuccessWare®21.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS REGARDLESS OF NUMBER OF USERS

TCP/IP is the primary protocol.
Network Cards are required to be set in a non-hibernation mode, or non-power management mode.
A minimum 100 Mbps network switch is required (cannot use a hub).
IPX/SPX or NetBeUI should not be installed on any of the workstations unless absolutely required to run legacy applications. If they must be present, then protocol bindings MUST be configured
