G4 Server and G4 Tools
To supplement the Technical Specifications document, the following table lists the system requirements for the SafeCom G4 Server and G4 Tools.
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| OS |
When using Windows Server 2016 (either as a G4 Server or for the Print Client), ensure that the following Windows updates are installed in this order:
|
| Virtualization software | VMware and Microsoft Virtual Server are supported if they meet the requirements for your operating system. |
| RAM | 4 GB RAM or more |
| Storage | 4 GB or more disk space |
| Database |
In a SafeCom multiserver installation, the SQL primary server must run Microsoft SQL Server 2019, 2017, 2016 SP2. It must be licensed and installed (including replication option). SQL Server 2019 Express is bundled in the G4 Server installer for standalone installations and for secondary server installations in multiserver scenarios. When using G4 Server with an external SQL database, on the secondary servers, SQL Server 2014 Express (bundled with G4 Server 520*10 and 10.520.11) and above are supported. Microsoft SQL is quite memory intensive and basically the more memory the better. 16 GB RAM is a good start. |
| Network protocol | TCP/IP protocol installed and configured. |
| Network names | Ensure that the computer names in the SafeCom environment are shorter than 16 characters, to avoid connection issues due to NetBIOS limitations. |
| ICMP | Ensure that ICMP traffic is allowed between SafeCom components (SafeCom G4 server, Device Servers, Print Client, devices using various SafeCom Go implementations). |
| Cryptography | Capability for SHA-2 code signing. For details, visit the Microsoft Security Response Center. |
| License | SafeCom license key code. The SafeCom server and the SafeCom printers on Windows Server 2019 and 2016 are cluster-aware (and require a SafeCom Cluster Server license). |
