L300/L230/L130 User Manual

System Requirements

The minimum recommended system specifications for a vSpace installation can be very minimal. The host PC may only need 1-2 GB of memory, a 2.4 GHz single-core processor, and less than 100 MB of free hard drive space to run a few users. However the number of users, intended application suite and overall performance expectation will ultimately determine how powerful a computer must be in order to deliver the desired multi- user experience.

Note: It is not advised to use a notebook PC as the host. Notebooks use power-saving features and technologies different than a typical desktop PC. This may cause power management and memory incompatibilities.

*For the L-Series access terminal, the maximum number of users is 30. The number of users a customer's installation will support depends upon the host's configuration and performance expectations of the customer. Performance results are highly dependent upon the individual host hardware, memory, video card, applications being used, OS and network conditions within any LAN/WAN. Host requirements will vary, please test your multi-user environment before deployment. For more information on supporting multiple simultaneous multimedia streams see the document "Configuring an L300 Multiuser Environment".

**CPU recommendations are generation of processor or equivalent

Note: This table is only a guideline; actual use may vary based on system utilization.
