Network Operating System
PC-Topp can use any type of network environment supported by Windows but requires a Windows Domain or Active Directory.
Network Clients
We recommend Windows 7 or Windows Vista for the PC-Topp Workstations and the PC-Topp Machine Terminal.
Network Hardware
Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet should be used wherever possible, as PC-Topp uses the network quite intensively. For all new installations, both the network adapters and the cabling should be ready for Gigabit Ethernet or at least for 100 MBit/s Fast Ethernet.

The longer distances on the shop floor are easier to master with Fiber Optic links. The most cost-effective solution is to put a separate Gigabit (or 100 MBit/s) network switch in a central position in the plant, and to link it to the switch in the office.
Printers
We recommend printers from Hewlett Packard which offers a wide range of models for high and lower volume printing; other manufacturers' printers may also be compatible.
Printers attached to workstations are not recommended; they should be connected directly to the network.
