by GlobalVet.3.5” Floppy Disk Drives are NOT required by GlobalVet
support but may be a good idea for PC Troubleshooting. If Cash
Drawers or Lab Machines are necessary for your operation, at
least one serial port is required (per peripheral)
-
Site feature using Terminal Services will
require the use of TCP/IP network ready printers or TCP/IP Print
Server devices. GlobalVet technical Support does not provide
support for Microsoft Products. Setup of Terminal Services is
the sole responsibility of the installing technician or the
clinic that chooses to use Terminal Services. Depending on the
number of sites connecting to the server will determine how
much RAM needs to be installed. Please consult a reputable Certified
Terminal Server technician in your area. When
using Server 2003 editions be sure to setup your DNS Service
correctly. Failure to do so will cause SEVERE performance loss
on your network.
-
Windows® XP Tablet Edition is only recommended
when using Tablet PC’s. DO NOT use Windows® XP Tablet Edition
on a standard desktop workstation.
-
The hospital environment, i.e., wall construction
(such as concrete, brick or steel), X-ray machine, mirrors,
security systems, fluorescent lighting or cordless phones will
affect the way wireless functions. (Any disruption in network
connectivity will produce errors and lock ups in GlobalVet)
Consult your local wireless tech before making the decision
to purchase wireless. Use the contact information below if you
have any additional questions.
-
Unsatisfactory performance may result when
using the hardware configuration from the Minimum Requirements
column.
-
GlobalVet Support recommends Business class
computers and Printers. Both HP and DELL sell these types of
machines. Discount store, home quality and (non-professional)
custom built machines are not recommended. Before making the
decision to buy a custom built machine from a non commercial
company, please ensure they are properly certified and that
they use only the highest quality business class components.
Using home based components is highly discouraged. Purchasing
business class machines will increase reliability, performance
and productivity within your office.
-
Please be aware that there may be issues
with peripheral devices such as scanners, printers, cameras,
etc. not integrating with the GlobalVet program and Windows
98, 98SE and ME. This is due to vendors no longer supporting
their product with the Windows 98 family of Operating Systems.
