• Windows® 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003
• Microsoft® Internet Explorer® v7.0 or later
• 17-inch analog flat panel display
• 2.0GHz Intel processor
• 2GB of RAM
• 80GB hard drive

Network Bandwidth Requirements
The Liebert SiteScan Web server provides dynamic web pages
made of graphic files and JavaScript programs. Bandwidth requirements should be no greater than those of a typical internet
user. Some typical packet sizes are:

Analog Trend
41,940
Graphic (Variable)
72,658
Events
119,548
Download Module
404,291
Logon
455,597
Live Logic Page
2,105,204
To estimate the bandwidth consumed, multiply the number of
simultaneous users by the size of the data type those users will
be viewing.
