Client Network Requirements

Siebel High Interactivity (HI) Client, Siebel Standard Interactivity (SI) Client, and Siebel Tools Client have the following requirements. Contact Siebel Expert Services for information that is more specific to individual implementations.

• Siebel Web Client (SI) 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.
• Siebel Web Client (HI) 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 (HI) should use a TCP/IP connection to the Siebel Server used to synchronize. 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. The connection should also have access to the Web servers that host the Siebel test environment.
