API/C2B Security Computer Requirements

 

         
Windows 10 and later or Windows Server 2016 and later, preferably a clean install of Windows.
NOT the AIM server.
Should be a stand alone PC, server, or virtual machine.
Should be a wired network connection. Wi-Fi can be used but it is less secure and less reliable.
Your ISP must allow port forwarding to your internal network.
The C2B computer requires access to the SQL server. It needs to be on the same network or on a DMZ with access to the SQL service. VPN will likely be annoyingly slow.
You will need to be able to access your router's admin page to set up a port forwarding rule.
A reliable internet connection.
