Computer requirements

POS PSIM requires the same computer configuration as Axxon PSIM (base), see Axxon PSIM Software Package. The Administrator’s Guide.

Operating system requirements

POS PSIM requires the same operating system configuration as Axxon PSIM (base), see Axxon PSIM Software Package. The Administrator’s Guide.

Video camera requirements

POS PSIM requires the same video cameras as Axxon PSIM (base), see Axxon PSIM Software Package. The Administrator’s Guide.

POS terminal requirements

We recommend creating no more than 200 POS terminal objects (see The POS terminal object setup procedure) on one computer to ensure fail-free system operation. 

MS SQL software should be installed on the same computer as the POS terminal objects.

Attention!

Creating web reports (see WEB Report System PSIM. User Guide) may take a long time when there are lots of POS terminals and the receipt database storage is big.

Determine required disk space (receipts database size)

Disk space required for storage of receipts database can be calculated by the following formula:

Required disk space, GB = N (pcs.) * K (items/hr) * T (days) * 24 (hrs/day) * 2.4 (KB) / 10242 (KB/GB),

where

N is a number of objects generating events;

K is an average number of items per object per hour. It can be estimated experimentally in operation conditions;

T is an archive depth in days set while system configuration;

2.4 KB is a disk space required for storage of one event.

Example. Let us have 75 objects, each of them processes 1 item in 5 seconds (~720 items per hour). Archive depth is 90 days, 16 hours per day.

Required disk space, GB = 75 (pcs.) * 720 (items/hr) * 90 (days) * 16 (hrs/day) * 2.4 (KB) / (1024*1024) (KB/GB) = 177.98 GB ~ 180 GB
