Machine requirements

HW/SW CONFIGURATION

The minimum hardware and software required to launch the course are:

  • Reliable HIGH-SPEED INTERNET connection (min 200 kbps up and down)
  • Windows 2000 or XP or Vista
  • Computer with soundcard
  • Headset or computer speakers
  • Internet Explorer 5.01 or later, or Firefox 1.0 or later

Network Speed Test

Please test your network internet access speed using the following URL, or a similar site:

http://speedtest.atlanta.ibm.com

For example, a speed test against the Atlanta, USA 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 how fast your network internet access would be approximately. 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.
