Software requirements (Windows only)
The Bridgit software client requires Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. However, Internet Explorer doesn’t need to be your default browser. Bridgit software can use a variety of Web browsers to access the Internet, including the following:
- Internet Explorer 5.0 or later
- Netscape 7.0 or later
- Mozilla 1.0 or later
- Opera 7.2 or later
Server
Supported Operating Systems – Windows
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP
- Windows Server 2003
A high-performance server with enough bandwidth can support up to 200 concurrent users when the audio feature is disabled and up to 150 users with the audio feature enabled. Allowing more than the recommended number of users may negatively affect performance. To support more users, we recommend clustering Bridgit software servers.
Maximum 150 concurrent users allowed per server. In addition, each server must meet the following minimum requirements:
- 500 MHz Pentium® III processor
- Windows® 2000, Windows XP or Windows server™ 2003 operating system
- Any Windows network software or Novell® NetWare® 6.0 software
Bridgit software also requires an e-mail program for inviting participants to conferences. Although the Bridgit software client works with a variety of e-mail programs, it has been designed to work best with Microsoft Outlook. If you use a different e-mail program, e-mail invitations might not work correctly.
If you have SMART Board software, make sure you have version 7.1.3 or later. Earlier versions of SMART Board software do not support some of Bridgit software's features, including annotations.
