Note on OS updates: We suggest turning OFF all Automatic Update programs that may update an OS version. This is suggested in order to prevent updating to an OS that might not yet be supported by AV/4D.
Hardware
| CPU | Memory | Screen Resolution | |
|---|---|---|---|
| AV Server | Quad-core processor (or more) | 16GB RAM | n/a |
| AV Client | Dual-core processor | 8GB RAM | 1280 x 1024 |
Windows Energy Saving Settings: The default settings for Windows Server or Windows desktop computers are optimized for saving energy. While this is usually the best setting for desktop usage, "High performance" servers could produce up to twice the speed than "Balanced."
Network: AcctVantage operates on a Local Area Network (LAN) using TCP/IP protocols. If all users are on the same LAN, then dynamic IP address assignment is acceptable. It is recommended that all LAN connections be routed through switches rather than hubs and that “daisy-chaining” of switches and/or hubs be avoided.
