20 CHAPTER 1: INSTALLING 3WXMHardwareRequirements for3WXM MonitoringServiceTable 4 shows the minimum and recommended requirements to run the3WXM monitoring service.Table 5 contains general recommended guidelines for hardwarerequirements and memory allocation based on the number of radios andWX switches your server will support. A larger number of WX switchesimplies more connections and data processing, and consequently, moreCPU is required. A larger number of radios implies more data (includingclient sessions) which requires more RAM and storage.SoftwareRequirements3WXM client and 3WXM monitoring services are each supported on thefollowing operating systems:■ Microsoft Windows Server 2003■ Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later■ Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4Table 4 Hardware Requirements for Running 3WXM Monitoring ServiceMinimum RecommendedProcessor Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz orequivalentIntel Pentium 4 3.6 GHz orequivalentRAM 1 GB 2 GBHard drive spaceavailable1 GB 2 GBMonitor resolution 1024x768 pixels, 24-bitcolor1600x1200 pixels, 32-bitcolorCD-ROM drive CD-ROM or equivalent CD-ROMTable 5 Recommended Server Hardware AllocationNumber ofRadios 1-25 WX Switches 25-50 WX Switches 50+ WX Switches1 – 1000 2.4 MHz P4500 MB RAM1 G HD3.0 GHz P4500 MB RAM1 GB HD3.6 GHz Xeon1 GB RAM1 GB HD1 – 2000 2.4 MHz P41000 MB RAM2 G HD2.8 MHz P41000 MB RAM2 GB HD3.2 MHz Xeon2 GB RAM2 GB HD
