System information

Master Installation

the Master can operate over any type of network, including dial-up, Ethernet, token ring,

and FDDI, provided that the network supports the TCP/IP, UDP/IP, IPX or SSL protocols.

The following conditions apply:

 IP is a general-purpose protocol supported on a wide variety of networks and servers.

To enable communication using TCP or UDP over IP, you must enable the Microsoft

TCP/IP Protocol (or you can use another WinSock 2 compliant IP stack).

 IPX provides access to Novell NetWare servers. To enable communication using IPX,

it is not necessary for any computer to be logged into a NetWare server, nor is it

necessary to run a NetWare client. To enable communication using IPX, you must have

the Microsoft NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport (included with the operating

system).

 The SSL protocol runs above TCP/IP and below higher-level protocols such as HTTP

or IMAP. Using TCP/IP on behalf of the higher-level protocols allows an SSL-enabled

server to authenticate itself to an SSL-enabled client, and both machines to establish an

encrypted connection.

 The UDP, TCP and SSL transports fully support IPv4 and IPv6 addressing.
