3.3 Software and Hardware Requirements
Every Fluidmesh unit can be configured through a web-based interface. To perform
the web-based configuration you need a PC with a web-browser, an Ethernet LAN
interface and a crossover Ethernet cable.
Suggested hardware
Cat5 Crossover Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors
PC computer with the following characteristics:
−
Windows XP or Windows 2000.
In this manual, we are assuming
you are using Windows XP and every instruction or screenshot is based
on this assumption. Likely, a Fluidmesh can be configured also using
other OS, such as Linux or older version of Windows. However, we
have not tested these other OS with Fluidmesh products.
−
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.
Likely, a Fluidmesh
can be configured
also using other browsers such as older versions of Internet Explorer,
Firefox or Safari but these browsers have not been tested. In this
manual, we assume that you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
−
Wired Ethernet Network Card.
−
Hardware requirements in terms of CPU, RAM, hard drive allowing
proper operations of Windows XP and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.
