Client Computer Requirements
To make an incoming call using TalkAnytime, the computer must meet the requirements described in the
table below.
Category Requirement
Operating System Windows 98 or Windows XP
Browser Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
Audio Hardware Microphone & Speaker (in any form)
O.S. Settings Headset or microphone/speaker combo
must be activated and not pre-empted by
any other audio hardware or software.
Browser Settings Popup Blocking must be disabled at least
for the IP address at which the
TalkAnytime unit is operating..
Activex controls must be enabled.
In terms of audio hardware, many combinations are possible. In any event, the computer must have both a
microphone and an audio output device and they must be activated. A headset that includes both a
microphone and a speaker (connected to the appropriate jacks on the computer’s sound card) would meet
this requirement. The computer might have a built-in microphone and built-in or extension speakers and
such a combination would also meet this requirement.
