What are the system requirements?

TIS-Web can currently be used with the following PC operating systems

• Windows 2000
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home
• Windows Vista

Your PC will also need:

1. 50MB free hard disk space
2. One free USB port for Smart Card Reader
3. One free serial port (only if using Compact Chart Reader for analogue charts)
4. Internet connection – Broadband recommended

What Internet Browsers can I use?

You may use TIS-Web with any version of Microsoft Internet Explorer from version 6.0 or later. No other browser is currently supported.

What settings must I allow in my Browser?

You must have administrator rights or be entitled to install programs so that TIS-Web can create the "VKISCInt" folder on your computer. You can then limit the rights and permissions for this folder by assigning Full control to the System entry and to the relevant TIS-Web Evaluation user only. To do this, right-click on the folder to open the folder's shortcut menu, click on Properties and then click on the Security tab.

The computer will then be protected again against unauthorised access when being restarted or when another user logs on. The "VKISClnt" folder can be accessed without limitations, e.g. to update existing program entries. It is not necessary to share the folder.

To use TIS-Web, ActiveX controls and plug-ins must be enabled for executing and installing on secure websites. To do this, start Microsoft® Internet Explorer. On the Tools menu, click on Internet Options…. On the Security tab, Internet is selected by default. Click on [Custom Level…] and enable the relevant entries for ActiveX controls and plug-ins.
