caution
- Available internet bandwidth is required.
- In an environment composed of multiple plants accessing SoftExpert Suite remotely, each plant must consider the number of local users; whereas the plant in which SoftExpert Suite installation is located must consider the total number of users from the remote plants.
- For SoftExpert On Demand customers, consider this requirement only in the access source.
The settings required for enabling SoftExpert Suite data compression can be found in the SoftExpert Suite - Installation guide (Linux) or (Windows).
