If TOPS and 963 are to be run on a single PC a dual core processor is recommended.
2
A built in COM port is required for the GSM modem supplied with 963 SMS.
The use of a dot matrix printer is recommended for alarms. Use of inkjet or laser printers for alarm printing is likely
to cause undesirable results e.g. each line of the alarm on a separate page. A separate printer for graphs and
schematic pages (graphics printer) is recommended. The graphics printer can be connected using a parallel or USB
port. The printer may also be accessed over the office IT network (providing a network card is fitted). This should
be taken into account when specifying the required ports for the PC.

963 will also operate on Windows Vista™ Business4 SP1 and Windows Server 20035 SP2 Standard, and Enterprise
with Internet Explorer version 6 SP1.
5
963 will only operate on 32 bit operating systems.
If installing 963 on a PC that has a full installation of SQL server earlier than SQL Server 2005 it is necessary to
upgrade to SQL Server 2005.
If the 963 is to communicate with devices on a BACnet network TOPS must also be installed. This installation can
be on the same PC as 963, or on a different PC providing communication is possible between the two over Ethernet.
The installation of TOPS is carried out by a step-by-step installation program. Once installed TOPS must be
licensed, and configured, as described in the 963 Engineering Manual (TE200637).
If 963 is to communicate with BACnet devices using TOPS installed on the same PC the PC must be running
Windows XP, or Windows 2003 SP1.
963 Clients
PCs: 963 Clients may be of any configuration providing they are running TCP/IP networking protocol, and have an
Ethernet card, and have a web browser installed. For full graphics capabilities (graphic mode) Internet Explorer v6.0
or greater, or Firefox 2 (recommended Internet Explorer version 6 or greater) and the SUN JAVA runtime
environment J2SE 5.0 or greater is required. The browser must have JAVA script enabled. Other browsers will
provide a text only display (text mode).
PDAs: PDA’s running Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition or greater (text mode only).
Smartphones: Nokia 9210i, and smartphones running Window Mobile 5 or greater (text mode only).
Note that the 963 has not been tested with all devices and Trend cannot guarantee a particular device’s
compatibility with 963 Server.
Popup blocking software must be disabled, or configured to allow popups from the 963 Server.
PC Resources
963 is a real time application; installed PCs must have enough free resources to safely run 963 under peak load
conditions. We cannot guarantee system performance if other 3
rd party software is installed, for example virus
checking software.
