1. 6 1 GENERAL Navi Harbour software has a capability to record audio information synchronously with other VTS information To ensure the audio information recording capability the system includes Audio Information Server which digitises compresses and transfers audio information to the VTS Server for its re recording and playback Audio Information Server is a computer operating under the control of Windows 2000 with dedicated hardware and software installed in it The number of processed audio channels is determined by the system needs and depending on the type of dedicated hardware in use is selected from the range of 2 to 16 6 2 COMPUTER AND OS REQUIREMENTS 6 2 1 AUdio Information Server Computer For the Audio Information Server it is necessary to prepare a computer meeting the requirements set forth in this paragraph install Microsoft Windows 2000 English or Russian version SP 2 on it For the Audio Information Server to operate normally the computer should meet the requirements specified in the table below Characteristic Minimum requirement Recommended Processor PII 600 MHz PIII 1000 MHz RAM 128Mb 256 Mb Video adapter 4Mb AGP or PCI 8Mb AGP or PCI Hard disk 4Gb CD drive Required Free slots Up to 4xPCI or 4xISA depending on the digitising card type and number of channels Network adapter Ethernet Fast Ethernet Operating system Windows 2000 SP2 English US version Maintenance monitor 15

5. General Information GENERAL INFORMATION The Navi Harbour VTS is normally installed on several computers combined in a network The VTS network is that part of the user network which incorporates e sources of VTS information e g radar processor e users of VTS information e g ODU or remote terminal e subnets used for the VTS data transit if any A high data transmission rate between the VTS network computers is guaranteed if the computers are located in a single physical subnet e g in a local Ethernet network In the context of this chapter we will use the term subnet to denote physical subnet ATTENTION If the VTS network consists of a single physical subnet there is no need for the network planning and you may omit this chapter The Navi Harbour VTS computers can generally be located in different subnets The subnets are connected with each other with slow links e g fibre optic lines or radio links As considerable amounts of information may be passed from the sources to the users it is necessary to optimise transfer of information via slow links i e to prevent duplicate transmission of the same information via slow channels Duplicate data transmission is required where there is more than one user of the same information in the network This problem can be solved by supplementing subnets with proxies for outgoing connections proxies special programs participating in the process of data exch
