SLIM21 software
is a multi-user system, which works on the network
of computers.SLIM21 database resides on a centralized
computer and gets updated from other computers as
per the access rights assigned to different users.
Therefore for the smooth functioning of the system
the physical network needs to be of high quality.
Some of the networking standards which should be followed
for SLIM21 to work properly are as follows:
-
Each user should be located
within 100 meters of the repeater.
-
Network cables should be straight
(no bends, twists and hanging), and running through
proper ducting. The chances of signal attenuation
are very high if these are not straight and taut.
-
Crimping can be done in 2 ways
- One to One Parallel or Cross Over. Both the
methods if done correctly (not loose Crimping)
is okay for safe functioning of SLIM21.
-
Electrical wires should be separate
from network cables, and not running in close
proximity; if they are too close it results in
signal distortion and subsequent data corruption.
-
The Hub and Ethernet cards should
be 10/100 MBPS and of standard make such as D-Link,
LAN bit or Intel.
-
For a network of more than 10
computers, the use of Switch in place of a Hub,
will increase the speed of operation
-
High quality cables and connectors
need to be used - (eg - UTP CAT V of standard
make - Lucent / IBM etc)
-
Proper earthling must be ensured
- where the neutral and earth should not have
more than 3 volt difference.
-
UPS for all the computers is
highly recommended
