Remote Connectivity Requirements
Businesses who wish to have remote locations working within the
ManageMore application in real-time will require remote connectivity third party
software and may need some additional hardware as well. The following
information provided below are recommendations on third party
software that are known to work with ManageMore for remote session
access.
You should also keep in mind:
-
Each product listed below will have its own set of minimum
hardware and software requirements
-
Additional hardware may be necessary when connecting a network of
remote workstations (i.e. modems, routers, etc.).
-
For ideal performance over a remote connection, we strongly recommend a
DSL connection of 256kbps speed or better.
