Our Technical Support

Tech support is as important as the reservation system itself. Digital Rez provides tech support in a number of ways. Our online tech support website is located at support.digitalrez.com.

International Support

Note that international clients require Internet access and an email connection in order to benefit our full range of technical support and maintenance offerings. International customers purchasing any new Digital Rez Software product are also entitled to free technical support for 30 days after installation, up to a limit of 5 hours. Clients outside the continental USA and Canada must call Monday to Friday, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and advise the receptionist they are new clients calling from outside North America who require assistance from our technical support team. This will ensure priority service. Note that we are unable to return calls originating outside North America.

System Requirements

ROS2006 can be run standalone or networked. A networked database may increase your hardware requirements to include a dedicated server.

Hardware

Standalone
The minimum hardware requirements to run the ROS2000 program in a standalone environment handling less than 150 units includes:

  • Pentium IV 1.00 GHz processor.
  • 1.0 GB (1024 MB) RAM. (Maximum RAM is recommended)
  • 1 GB of available hard drive space.
If you are handling more than 150 units we recommend the configuration exceed these hardware specifications.

Network
Server

There are several hardware options when using a server to run ROS2006 on a network. A peer-to-peer network consisting of 2 or 3 computers handling less than 150 units can use a low-end network. The minimum requirements for a low-end network server includes:

  • Pentium IV 1.00 GHz processor.
  • 1.0 GB (1024 MB) RAM. (Maximum RAM is recommended)
  • Twisted Pair Network Interface card (10 base T minimum), running TCP/IP protocol.
  • 1 GB of available hard drive space.
A more robust server is recommended. Digital Rez recommends specifications for servers in high use environments on an individual basis.

Clients

The minimum recommended hardware specifications for a low-end network client computer includes:

  • Pentium III 600 MHz; Intel processor.
  • 512 MB RAM. (Maximum RAM is recommended)
  • Twisted Pair Network Interface card (10 base T minimum), running TCP/IP protocol.
  • 500 MB of available hard drive space.
Digital Rez strongly advises the use of active suppression UPS on all systems using ROS2006, such as the APC Back-UPS Pro USB 500.

Servers

Servers can be run under Windows XP Home or Professional or Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003. ROS2006 Enterprise customers also require SQL 7.0 (with latest service pack), SQL 2000, or SBS 2000.
