System Requirements
The following information details the system requirements for running the various components of the DataSplice Mobile Integration Suite.
Supported Operating Systems
The DataSplice Mobile Integration Suite supports the following operating systems:
- Microsoft Windows NT 4 (Workstation or Server) with service pack 6a
- Microsoft Windows 2000 (Professional, Server, or Advanced Server) with the latest Windows service pack and critical updates available from the Microsoft web site
- Microsoft Windows XP (Home or Professional)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family
- Microsoft Terminal Server - DataSplice can be installed on Microsoft Terminal Server, but it may require significant effort to properly install the Microsoft XML parser
Hardware Requirements
Although the hardware required to run the DataSplice Mobile Integration Suite effectively is highly dependent on the number of client connections it needs to support, the following specifications are applicable to most implementations:
- 500 MHz processor (1 GHz recommended)
- 256 MB RAM (512 MB recommended)
- 200 MB of available hard disk storage (500 MB recommended)
Additional Required Components
The following additional software components are also required for correct operation of the DataSplice Mobile Integration Suite:
- Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 or newer
- Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.6 or newer
- Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) version 4.0 or newer
- Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.01 or newer
- Microsoft ActiveSync version 3.6 or newer if manually installing the DataSplice Remote Client on mobile devices
Mobile Device Requirements
To effectively run the DataSplice Remote Client application on a mobile device, the following requirements must be met.
Supported Operating Systems
The mobile device must be running one of the following operating systems for the DataSplice Remote Client to be installed correctly:
- Pocket PC
- Pocket PC 2000
- Pocket PC 2002
- Pocket PC 2003 (a.k.a. Windows Mobile)
- Windows CE 2.11 or newer
- Windows CE .NET
Hardware Considerations
The hardware requirements of the mobile device can vary considerably, depending on whether the DataSplice Remote Client will be used in online or offline mode. In particular, storage space becomes more of an issue when the DataSplice Remote Client is being used in offline mode, as session data is being cached onto the device, rather than being stored on the DataSplice Server as it would be in online mode. The use of non-volatile storage media, such as an SD card, is recommended so data can persist if the mobile device is reset. The following specifications can be used as a good general guideline:
- 300 MHz ARM processor
- 32 MB ROM
- 64 MB RAM
- 32 MB capacity storage card if non-volatile storage is desired (64 MB recommended)
Networking
The DataSplice Mobile Integration Suite can be used in wireless networks or in regular Ethernet-based networks. In addition, the DataSplice Server can be accessed directly through an ActiveSync connection. The following network capabilities must be enabled and accessible for the DataSplice Mobile Integration Suite to function correctly:
- Port 4100 (or other port if other than default)
- TCP/IP
