Network Switches
Depending upon the number of ProSmart Touchscreen consoles to be networked,
you will need one or more network switches. Each console requires its own connec-
tion port at a network switch.
Switches come in a variety of sizes (4 ports, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, and so on). Standard
19-inch commercial grade racks typically house 24-port or 48-port switches, but
they can accommodate other standard rack mountable switches of any capacity. We
recommend that you allow extra rack space or extra connection ports in your in-
stalled network switches, to accommodate equipment you may add in the future.
Contact your IT Administrator for more information.

Internet Connectivity Recommendation
WOODWAY recommends at least 2 Mbps minimum for each networked cardio unit
to maintain a good level of product performance.
Dedicated bandwidth is recommended to ensure that ProSmart software runs effi-
ciently at your facility. We highly recommend installing a separate dedicated Inter-
net line if possible.
NOTE
The download data rate will grow as you add ProSmart Touchscreen consoles
to your facility.
