Prerequisites

• A desktop PC running MS Windows 7 or higher
  
• Approximately 20 MB of free disk space
  
• .NET Framework 4.6.1 pre-installed
  
• TCP / IP connectivity to the Guardian Database Server
  
• Administrator rights are required as the application writes to the registry
• In the case of the Central Surveillance application:
  
• the chosen PC must be within the same VLAN as the bedside portals
  
• because the role of the central surveillance PC is to monitor ward activity (and act as a broadcast relay for the portals and web server) it is recommended that the PC is restricted for use purely as a central station
  
• it is desirable to place a shortcut to the central surveillance.exe in the start up folder, so that the application automatically starts on reboot
  
• the desired printer’s drivers must be installed on the chosen PC, and that printer set as the default 
  

Optional

• A standalone USB fingerprint reader may be desired for client PCs that will be used on a frequent basis. Please contact K2MS for further details.
