Setting Up the CH+ Tester
2
Computer Requirements for a Station or Network Server
If you plan on using a Networked Server:
Accessing test data from a network is a nice way to make sure that all the stations on the
production floor use the same test information. The requirements for a network server are the
same as a workstation with the exception that the server must use either 2000 or 2003
Windows Server software. The computer that runs the network database should be dedicated
to running the database software. The network database server should not be used as a
workstation.
