Technopoly’s software uses a server-based Microsoft® SQL database. It is essential that a central server is used. This type of network will be required to be configured correctly and to be maintained by a qualified system administrator. 

A dedicated server is required to run Technopoly’s software. A Desktop PC can be used to act as a dedicated server where less than 5 users are required but is not recommended. 

Since the software will operate on the server, there is comparatively light network traffic, however, we would recommend a similar specification for a desktop computer as above. 

It is necessary that this server is kept as a dedicated machine and not used for other day to day work. 

This computer should be located in a secure place with adequate ventilation and cooling as it will need to be switched on continuously.

5 Network Requirements

The use of intelligent gigabit switches on the network is highly recommended. It is highly recommended that the entire system is on a domain due to user authentication requirements.

Networks connecting servers and desktop computers provide the vital backbone for correct data transfer and system operation.

It is paramount that your network is set up and configured correctly in order to ensure the software can run at full efficiency.

It is vital that we have access to and the full co-operation of your network administrator and/or IT support company either internally or externally to set up the necessary links between any systems and devices as required.

It is essential that the network is protected by suitable firewalls, virus detection, and defence system and that these are updated daily. It is also essential to have robust backup procedures in place, we advise incremental evening back-ups and a full back-up once a week and monthly.

It is also important that we are notified in advance of any changes being made to your network, network operating system and or linking programs including server upgrades, migrations and replacements are notified to us.

An external static IP address is mandatory for our software to ensure a stable and secure connection. This helps provide uninterrupted access to our web applications, preventing potential connectivity issues that could arise from network changes.

Remote Access Requirements

5.1 Terminal Server Network

If you require remote users to log into the central system, a separate dedicated server will be required. This will run Windows Terminal services or Citrix and may be configured to hold the main system data as well. Terminal services use the server to run separate user desktop sessions.

5.2 Remote Support

Help desk, remote support and training can only be provided if we have a direct connection to your server and selected PCs. Our recommendation is that Windows Remote Desktop or TeamViewer is set up to provide this facility. It is also necessary that routers and firewalls are configured to allow such communication access.

6 Peripheral Requirements

There are a number of peripheral devices which you may wish to attach to your system, for which there is a wide range from which to choose. From our own experience, we can make the following suggestions:

6.1 General Printing

For general system printing, we would strongly recommend using a DeskJet or Laser type printer. This type of printer offers the highest print quality and has is far less likely to give rise to any of the report formatting issues that can arise from using a dot matrix printer in a Windows® environment.

6.2 Bar Code Label Printing

If you want to print labels for your stock, you should consider using a dedicated thermal or thermal transfer label printer. Again, there is a wide range to choose from – we can advise if required.

6.3 Bar Code Readers

If you are using bar code readers, it is important that the appropriate types are chosen to match the application requirements. We can advise on suitable products for both fixed and remote hand-held scanning.

6.4 Keyboards (Credit card sales)

If you want to read in card details when entering a cash or counter sale, then any standard QWERTY keyboard with a built-in card swipe should work perfectly well (teviko Only).
