Client Network Requirements

Siebel clients require:

• Siebel Web Client (Customer) applications such as Siebel Sales, Siebel Service, and so on, should use a 56kbps modem or better to the Web servers fronting the Siebel applications. If lower-bandwidth modems are used, the application will be functional, but performance degradation can be expected. This will be the case with any Web site users access.
• Siebel Web Client (Employee) applications should use a LAN or WAN connection to the Web servers fronting the Siebel applications. The connection needs to support the HTTP protocol.
• Siebel Mobile Web Client (Employee) applications should use a TCP/IP connection to the Siebel Servers it synchronizes with. The Siebel Server is specified on the CFG file local to the Siebel Mobile Web Client.
• Siebel Tools Client should use either a TCP/IP LAN or WAN for the connections to the DBMS hosting the Siebel data and repository. Further, the connection should also have access to the Web servers hosting the Siebel test environment.
