  • Reliable HIGH-SPEED INTERNET connection (min 200 kbps up and down)

Network Speed Test

User: clp

Pass: ibmeduc

For example, a speed test against the server with a slow connection of 140 Kbps download and 28 Kbps upload took 14 minutes to load a 30min recording before the video began. Extrapolate from this result to estimate approximately how fast your network internet access would be. High-speed broadband internet access is the recommended configuration for this course.

Keyboard Configuration

If you use a different character keyboard, you may experience errors when entering passwords. If possible, change your language/country settings for your keyboard to USA, which allows you to enter characters as in a QWERTY keyboard.
