Internet To achieve proper operation through internet, FXPlus must be installed in a network which complies with the following network connection specifications: Access for TCP packets in address ipdata.inforex.gr (IPs: from 95.0.13.101 to 95.0.13.110) on ports 80 or 443 or 8000 (for data streaming) Access for TCP packets in address data.inforex.gr (IPs: 95.0.13.100 and 95.0.13.131) on ports 80 or 443 or 8000 (for historical data retrieval) The application requires approximately 40Kbps (mean values) for every connection and it has been checked for normal operation even with PSTN lines. www.inforex.gr 56 Server \ Client communication Communication between server \ client is done by using modern Ethernet networks (without excluding the use of other network types, after proper configuration). FXPlus server is transmitting data by using UDP, IP or Multicast packets and protocols according to customer needs. Database files exist in both server and clients to minimize the use of bandwidth in the network and the application requires at least 3GB free space in the hard disk drive for the symbols’ historical data, either we have server installation or client installation. We can save the database to a different Hard Disk or folder on the same PC. The computer user executing the application must have full rights in the installed folder without the need of configuring any other user rights in other folders. The versatility of FXPlus server \ client connection is capable of creating installations with great potential of expansion according to the customer’s needs (we can have FXPlus servers operating as proxies giving data feed). That means, if we have many branch offices we can have FXPlus server in every office, which will receive data from the main server and serving this data locally to users. With such configuration we achieve a significant reduce in total bandwidth. UDP transmission supports of up to 50 clients per server as the Multicast transmission literally supports an unlimited number of terminals, as long as the correct setup has been made in the network. www.inforex.gr 57 FXPlus Specifications for Individual Users System Requirements In the text below, we give the specifications we need to have for the normal and continuous operation of FXPlus. FXPlus can be installed in a variety of Windows operating systems (Windows 2000 Pro SP4, Windows XP SP2 or newer, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 32bit or 64bit). Computer / CPU Standalone installation Minimum Requirements: Intel Pentium 4 2.0GHz or newer (or AMD CPU with similar capabilities) Suggested Requirements: Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.0GHz or newer (or AMD CPU with similar capabilities) Operating System* Windows 2000 Pro SP4 Windows XP SP2 or newer - (32bit-64bit) Windows Vista - (32bit-64bit) Windows 7 - (32bit-64bit) Windows 8 - (32bit-64bit) Memory Standalone installation Minimum Requirements: 512 Megabyte RAM or more Suggested Requirements: 1 Gigabyte RAM or more www.inforex.gr 58 Drive CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive (in case installation is done through drive) or available USB port Display Super VGA monitor (800 x 600) or higher resolution with 256 colors or more Satellite For a working installation through satellite, we must have a satellite dish with a diameter between 80cm to 1m, which should point to satellite Eutelsat W3 7o East. The system works in a unidirectional way, capable of receiving and not transmitting data. All satellite installations are accompanied with a satellite receiver DVB (USB connection or PCI according to computer configuration) which will be installed by our expert technicians. Internet To achieve proper operation through internet, we must comply with the following specifications: Access for TCP packets in address ipdata.inforex.gr (IPs: from 95.0.13.101 to 95.0.13.110) on ports 80 or 443 or 8000 (for data streaming) Access for TCP packets in address data.inforex.gr (IPs: 95.0.13.100 and 95.0.13.131) on ports 80 or 443 or 8000 (for historical data retrieval) The application has been checked for normal operation even with PSTN lines, but we achieve the best efficiency by using ADSL lines www.inforex.gr 59 For more information please contact us 44 Kolokotroni, Athens, 105 60 Tel: +30 210 325 55 11 Fax: +30 210 325 55 15 www.inforex.gr www.inforex.gr 60 www.inforex.gr 61
