GlobalMaster v 2 3 4 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS In order for your multimedia classroom to work correctly when you are using GlobalMaster technology you need only possess an internal network that works properly in your classroom and of course you also need the computers you want to connect through the network 4 1 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS The switch should support the 802 1P QoS protocol especially designed for traffic in multimedia data broadcasting with high layer 2 performance For optimal functionality we recommend that the switch speed is 10 100 1000 Mbps even though a speed of 10 100 Mbps is acceptable Any other switch including wireless devices may not guarantee that the system functions correctly If the switch is manageable it may need an additional internal configuration that will have to be carried out by the centre s computer technician Any software that limits or reduces the computers resources or any other application that filters or blocks communication through the network and prevents Optimas from functioning at 100 will be the centre s responsibility Go to Index 45 User Guide GlobalMaster v 2 3 4 2 CLIENT COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS As we have mentioned throughout this manual when you are using GlobalMaster in your classroom the teacher s computer is seen as another client the same as the students computers therefore the requirements for both students and teacher s computers are the same In
