Computer Hardware Requirements


At least 1 Gb of hard disk space plus room for digital photos (if Syrasoft Photo Capture Module purchased) is preferred.  A CPU with a dual core processor with 2.40 GHz or higher is recommended, with no less than 2 Gb RAM for 32-bit operating systems or 4 Gb of RAM for 64-bit operating systems.  Operating systems required are Microsoft Windows 2008 Server Edition (64 & 32 bit), Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (64 & 32 bit), Windows 7 Professional (64 & 32 bit), Windows 7 Enterprise (64 & 32 bit), Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (64 & 32 bit), Windows Vista Business Edition (64 & 32 bit), or Windows XP Professional Edition (32 bit).  Operating systems are not listed in order of preference.  Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6 or higher.  Serial port available for dial up credit card processing only. 

*Syrasoft Automatic Credit Card Processing Package: Dial Up Processing

The internal modems that are currently standard to most computer hardware are not able to slow to the speed of bank networks (1200 baud or less). An external 56K modem with a serial connection is required for detecting the slower baud rate speed of credit card processing.

Syrasoft Automatic Credit Card Processing Package: TCP/IP Processing

If the credit card processing network has TCP/IP processing available and the property office has an Internet Service Provider or DSL line available, credit card processing can be done without the 56K External Modem requirement.

*Syrasoft Interface with Access Control Gate Software:

Access gate control hardware and software, in some cases, requires a Serial Port connection to the computer. Some of the access control manufacturers are compatible with USB/Serial Adaptors. Please check with your access control provider to see if they require a Serial or USB Port connection.  Please check with your access control dealer/manufacturer for their specific requirements.

Printer:

If you need to print large numbers of statements, lengthy contracts, and reports you need a printer that has enough memory or proper settings to handle large print jobs.

Monitor:

A 17 inch monitor is typically standard equipment with new computer hardware. The size screen you have will impact how much of the Bird’s Eye View graphical facility map you can view at one time without having to scroll up, down, left or right. A larger screen, such as a 19 or 22-inch monitor screen would allow you to view more of the map area at one time. The capability to view part or the entire map area at one time is individual preference and does not impact software performance. Screens within Syrasoft are best viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher.

Networking:

Syrasoft Management System software can be run on networked workstations with the purchase of the Syrasoft Networking Module. The Networking Module is included in the Professional Edition or may be purchased as add on software for the Light, Light Professional, or Standard Editions. Network hardware must be in place in order to install the Syrasoft Management Software on networked workstations.

Data Backup Media:

USB Drive, Zip Disks, and CDR or CDRW. Backup files can be emailed to main/home office/laptop locations as regular email attachments, using Syrasoft’s Email Software, and various connectivity options.
