The following outlines hardware and software requirements needed for installing the sync host and POS Terminals.

Software Requirements

Supported Operating Systems

Windows 2000 Professional
Volanté-certified Linux option
Windows 7 Professional (Volante V5, build 1272 and higher)
Windows 8 Professional (Volante V5, build 1272 and higher)
Windows 10

Server Requirements:

Windows 2008 R2
Windows 2016

NOTES:

Home versions of OSes are NOT recommended due to certain system limitations.
Windows 2000, 2003, 2008 Server can be used for the Synch Host, at the user’s discretion, but it is NOT required for optimal performance.
Volanté will also work on Windows Home Professional; however this is not a recommended operating system for advanced 3rd-party functions.

Hardware Requirements

POS Terminals (Minimum Requirements)

Intel Celeron 1 GHz
1 GB RAM
16Mb AGP Video
20GB IDE Hard Drive
10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN
NOTE: System requirements for the Synch Host will vary slightly depending on the size of the installation. This is where the consolidated database will reside. For larger installations, more memory or hard drive space will be required.

POS Synch Host (Minimum Requirements)

Intel Pentium 4 @ 1.6GHz
2GB RAM (5 stations or less)
16MB AGP Video
40GB IDE Hard Drive
10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN

NOTES:

For the latest operating systems, additional RAM, Hard Drive specs, and CPU will improve performance.
For installations requiring more than three stations, 2 GB of RAM is recommended. Be sure to consider the chosen operating system in the system requirements.

Additional Software and Services

During installation, Volante V7 makes use of the following:

Java 1.8
Sybase 11
.NET Framework 3.5 and 4
Telnet Client

Remote Software Solutions

For remote site installation:

We recommend the following remote access software to assist and remote administration and associated system requirements.

RAdmin
Logmein for the Synch Host
RealVNC for the POS terminals
Team Viewer

NOTE: For other programs installed on the server terminal, or when using 3rd-party applications it is recommended to increase the hardware requirements for best performance.

Specialized Hardware Requirement for COM Port Expansion Cards.

Volanté has only one specific specialized hardware requirement for COM Port Expansion Cards: dealers should use cards made by Lava Computers.
Additionally, these cards MUST have the “XR” chipset. These cards can be obtained from Tesoro Technologies.
Other cards may cause the system to freeze on printing. This is due to how these cards handle serial printers. It is possible to use other cards, but Volanté does NOT recommend or support them.
