Technical Requirements

 

The New Century Instructional System operates on PC compatible hardware in a Local Area Network.  Microsoft Windows operating systems are supported on client and server.  A standalone version is also available for use with a single PC.

 

A typical midrange computer configuration will provide adequate performance.  See the examples below for recommended new hardware configurations.  Please contact us for details @ 1-800-833-6232 ext. 5562.

 

If you are considering a wireless network, be sure that it will be able to run at its highest data rate.  Your network vendor can help in this regard.  Also remember that while it is convenient, a wireless network is slower than one with wires, and cannot support as many computers.
