What do you need in order to use the Control Centre? Single-user system The minimum requirement to run a single-user version of the Control Centre is a stand-alone computer running Microsoft WindowsTM with a suitable printer and preferably a broadband internet connection. See the recommended minimum specification below.

2-user system If you have just 2 computers running Microsoft WindowsTM, and they are not already networked, you can network them together (provided they both have a network adapter) with a single cross-over network cable without the need for any further equipment. 3-user+ system To network 3 or more computers together you need to connect them using a network switch or hub. Depending on the number of computers you want accessing the Control Centre, you may need a dedicated server network, or a peer-to-peer network may be adequate. Printers Most printers are suitable - certainly any that are Microsoft WindowsTM compatible should function with the Control Centre. The main issues when selecting a printer are the amount of pages you print, speed of printing and whether you want to print in black & white or colour. Internet connection An internet connection is required in order to provide you with remote Technical Support and Training. Broadband (ADSL) is preferable for greater speed, but a dial-up connection will suffice. You do not necessarily need an always-on internet connection to use the Control Centre unless you wish to use either of our add-on products, CCOnline or TSLGateway. Recommended minimum specification Processor Intel Pentium II or equivalent Operating system Microsoft WindowsTM 98, ME, NT4, 2000 or XP (or 2000/2003 Server). We recommend that you keep up to date with the latest available updates from Microsoft. Memory As recommended for your Microsoft WindowsTM version. Hard disk space 10Mb for a client computer, 500Mb for a server or stand-alone computer. Monitor Generally any monitor is suitable, but just be aware that some flat panel monitors and laptop panels do not handle full-screen DOS mode properly.
