Specific System Requirements

Macintosh installations require:

  • MacOS X or MacOS X Server 10.4 or newer
  • 512 MBytes of RAM
  • 50 MBytes of disk space (at minimum)is required; 1 GByte or more will allow historical data storage
  • InterMapper RemoteAccess application automatically selects the proper Java VM.

Windows installations require:

  • Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows Server 2008 (IPv6 support requires Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008)
  • 512 MBytes RAM
  • 1 GHz Pentium and 512 MBytes of RAM will work well for at least 500 devices. Larger installations will benefit from a faster processor and/or more RAM.
