At least 14"; Tube: At least 17".)

Dual Monitors: If you are using Windows dual-monitor

feature, the one on the

right

-hand side must be

connected/set-up as monitor

Mouse / Pointing-Device

A mouse (or other type of pointing-device) that

is equipped with a scroll-wheel is

recommended. This simplifies scrolling within

forms and in the on-line help.

Hard Drive

Hard drive with at least 150 Mb of free space

while Windows is running (i.e., in addition to

Windows' swap-file requirements).

Note: With larger / busier systems, additional hard

drive space will be necessary. (This is unlikely to affect

your PC specifications, though, since the smallest hard-

drives available today are in the multi-gigabyte range.)

Software Media / other Drives

CD-ROM drive, double-speed (2X) or higher.

Communications Ports (Serial / USB)

One free serial

port

(

COMx

) is required for

each direct panel connection (and external

modem), in addition to any serial ports used by

a mouse, or other devices. If your software

came with a USB-style 'activation key', one

USB

port will be needed as well (AFx Director

server

PC, if applicable).

Notes:

Resources for serial ports cannot be 'shared'.

In a multi-PC (client-server) system, panel connections

can be spread across the available workstations as

desired.

The activation key works with the provided license-

manager software to manage software licensing and

maximum system capacities.

Modems (for remotely managed panels)

Modems that support a connection speed of

38,400 baud are required (e.g., V90

compliant). It is best to use the same brand at

the PC and panel(s). A US Robotics Sportster

56K modem is recommended.

The LASAT Safire 560™ Voice Modem has also been

tested, and can be used if desired. Exception: This

modem cannot be used in conjunction with the Bell 103

(300 baud) support which is built into the panels. Bell

103 connections require a USR Sportster 56K modem

at the PC.

Modems for panels must support a standard serial

connection. As well, these modems must support

"Auto-Answer", and a connection speed of "38,400

baud"—either through physical switches, or

programmable in 'Flash' memory that is not affected by

power failure.

Where panels are to dial into the MONITOR AFx

Director system to transmit activity messages, each

panel requires its own dedicated modem. Otherwise,

up to 30 panels can be connected together (via RS485)

to share a single modem.

Notes: Modems require a direct/analogue telephone

line. Our testing was done using a US Robotics

Sportster 56K modem. We provide details on how to

set up this model of modem. Other brands and models

may require more detailed knowledge of modem

configuration.

To Allow Setting up Panel Modem(s):

Modems to be

used with system panels need to be temporarily

connected to a computer to enter some 'power-up'

settings (as described under "Panel Modem Setup

Requirements" in a following section). This requires a

PC with a free serial port, plus a suitable modem cable.

If the PC has a "serial" mouse, a second port will be

needed for the temporary modem connection.

Printer and Parallel Printer Port

For printing reports, you can use any printer

supported by your version of Windows

(capable of printing at a suitable speed under

MS Windows).

Note:

The parallel port is also required (AFx Director

server PC, if applicable) if your software requires a

parallel-style 'activation key' (e.g.,

≤

V3.2

software).

(The activation key works with the provided license-

manager software to manage software licensing and

maximum system capacities.)

System Panels

Main panels must have an up-to-date main

board and 'EPROM' chip to be compatible with

this software. Existing/older panels must be

upgraded or replaced.

Tip:

For details, refer to the

instructions provided with your panel upgrade kits.

For the Photo-Badging Option

The photo-badging option supports these

devices:

Video capture device: This feature works with

any video or frame-grabber board and

supported camera, or any video capture device

that is compliant with the "TWAIN" or "Wintab"

standard.

Writing Tablet: Any writing tablet that works

with your version of Windows can be used to

capture signatures. Signatures can also be
