What are the system requirements?

Minimum

These requirements are the minimum requirements for the program to run. Only having the minimum system requirements may cause the program to run at a slower speed & display as unintended.

• 1.3GHz or faster processor
• Microsoft Windows 7
• 2GB of RAM
• 320MB of available hard-disk space
• 1024x768 screen resolution

What are the Network Requirements?

Overview

Order Express is deployed to end users as a ClickOnce application requiring a "Full Trust" security zone. Because the Order Express binaries are not digitally signed, it is unfortunately not possible to set a deployment policy to allow Order Express to be installed independently of other ClickOnce applications. Subsequently, it is suggested (although not currently required) that end-users of Order Express have administrative access of their local machine.

Additional information regarding ClickOnce can be found at the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t71a733d.aspx

In addition to the requirements of the security policy of the local machine, Order Express also has a number of requirements in terms of network connectivity. At its very core, Order Express is an internet application, relying on its ability to synchronize data to and from remote systems to keep both manufacturers and dealers informed throughout the ordering process.

Order Express must be able to access the following ports on remote machines. In the interest of helping network administrators maintain network security during the deployment of Order Express, the information in the list below is granular enough to reliably identify network traffic from Order Express so that it can be allowed.

Hosts And Ports

• Feature: Status Notifications
  • Host: smtp.gmail.com
  • Ports: 25:TCP, 465:TCP, 587:TCP

• Feature: ClickOnce Install/Update, Setup & Admin (Accessed via Web-Browser), Database Synchronization
  • Host: *.evisionservices.com
  • Ports: 80:TCP, 80:UDP, 443:TCP, 443:UDP, 1433:TCP

• Feature: Catalog Install/Update, Image Install/Update
  • Host: s3.amazonaws.com
  • Ports: 80:TCP, 443:TCP

In addition to the above, Order Express must be able to establish/maintain an ongoing connection to a remote SQL Server. While the initial handshake only requires port 1433:TCP to be open, additional ports must be available to complete the handshake process.
