|
UPS |
(Un-interruptible Power Supply) A UPS is strongly recommended to protect your database as power failures can lead to data corruption and possible loss of data. UPS devices allow the server to shutdown properly and not suddenly. |

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 must be installed before installation. The latest available version of the Microsoft .Net Framework should also be installed. |
|
Microsoft Office |
The Syrinx client is not compatible with 64 bit Office products. These should be uninstalled and replaced with 32 bit Office products before installing the Syrinx client software. Failure to do so may cause installation/functionality issues with the Syrinx client or the 64 bit Office product. |
Server and network setup
It is advisable for your Server, network and any client workstations to be set up by an IT professional (Point of Rental will not be able to do this) in good time before the installation is due to take place, the installation will be cancelled if this isn’t in place by the day of the install.
Mobile apps
The Syrinx mobile Apps (Driver, workshop etc) need to be able to communicate with the server while off-site, therefore a broadband connection with a router that can port forward external requests from the web to an internal web server will be required. The mobile apps are designed to work with internet enabled android/iOS devices which must have a stable 4G/5G connection while off-site. Separate hardware requirements are available for the Syrinx mobile products.
Terminal Services
Syrinx software can run in a terminal services or Citrix environment, but will require additional post installation tasks to function properly. Where you intend to deploy Syrinx in such an environment, please discuss with our team, so that we can supply necessary documentation and/or guidance prior to installation.
This documentation contains recommended settings and processes that allow Syrinx to run in a standard terminal services or Citrix environment. However, where there are additional configurations, management policies, or third party software in use that impacts Syrinx, these are not supported.
Network
Please ensure that all computers have been properly networked and can communicate effectively with the main/server computer prior to the planned installation date. You should also verify that all clients can access shared information on the main/server computer as Syrinx makes use of shared folders for document and log file storage as well as software distribution. Failure to verify that these aspects of your network are functioning properly may result in severe delays during the installation process.
