Requirements

To implement Dynalab's NX Server Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition, the following requirements must be satisfied:

NX Testers:

• Each NX Tester must be equipped with a Communications Board
• Each NX Tester must be equipped with firmware version 2.0.73 or later.

Host Server Computer:

The NX Server is a software application implemented using Microsoft Active Server Pages.NET™(ASP.NET). It is hosted in a Microsoft Internet Information Services™ (IIS) environment. The following requirements apply to the host server computer on which NX Server will be installed.

• The NX Server application can be hosted on any computer running a Microsoft operating system that can run IIS 5.1™ or later. This currently includes Windows 2000 Professional™ (SP4), Windows 2000 Server™ (SP4), and Windows Server 2003™.
  
• The host server must have Microsoft Internet Information Service™ (IIS), version 5.1 or later installed and properly configured.
  
• For the NX Server Enterprise Edition only, the host server must have Microsoft SQL Server 2000™ or SQL Server 2005™ installed.

Clients:
Users interact with the Server via their web browser. The NX Server has been tested with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6™ (IE6).

Network:

• A TCP/IP network is required as the communications infrastructure
• A 10 Base-T or 100 Base-T Ethernet connection to the network is required for each NX Tester.
• The network must support Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
• The network must be configured to allow TCP port 80 communications in both directions between the host server computer and all networked testers. TCP port 80 communications are also required between any workstations whose users need to interact with the server.
• The network must permit the host server computer to broadcast on UDP port 54295 to all networked NX Testers.
