The following recommended and minimum hardware requirements and recommendations apply to all computers running Intelligent Retail Connect.
Recommended (these are not the minimum specifications but what we would suggest in order to maximise the performance of Connect)
- An i3 processor or equivalent
- 4GB RAM
- Windows 7, 8 or 10
- At least 50GB of free hard drive space
Minimum
- Dual Core Processor
- 2GB RAM
- Windows 7, 8 or 10
- At least 50GB of free hard drive space.
Broadband
- A 1 MB upload speed is recommended for synchronisation.
Notes
- Any hardware that exceeds these specifications will help to futureproof your machine.
- Maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels supported. Connect does not currently support 4K resolutions. Whilst Connect will still work on a 4K monitor, most icons and text will appear very small. There are features within the Windows operating system that allow you to increase icon and text sizes, however these are not supported by Connect and we cannot guarantee Connect will appear as designed.
- If you are planning on using the PC as a Till with existing peripheral devices that use a serial connection, such as some models of receipt printers, Chip and Pin devices etc. then a desktop may preferable to a laptop as serial ports are not commonly found on laptops.
Most serial peripheral devices do have an updated USB counterpart, if you are looking to change these devices please visit www.eposaccessories.co.uk or call 08456 800 126 and we may be able to assist in providing new devices.
