VMware Server

Important:

• Avoid sharing this server with other network applications, such as billing software, etc.
• Technical Specifications must be followed with attention and detail for satisfactory onsite performance. Please speak with our IT team before installing an on-premise server.

Required Internet

A connection to the Internet is critical, as it allows you to download Praxis updates from our website. You will also need it for one-on-one training and technical support.

For the e-prescribing module, a static external IP for your server is also needed, so that we may add it to our firewall.

Wireless or wired connection?

Praxis is compatible with both wireless and hardwired internet connections. Wired internet is the best choice for most practices for the following reasons:

• Wireless connections are subject to interference from physical obstructions such as walls, decreasing signal strength and Praxis performance.
• Wireless connections are generally transmitted via an omnidirectional antenna, meaning Praxis data can occasionally be lost.
• Speed differences between wireless and wired are most significant when transferring Praxis data.
• Routers typically run at 54 Mbps, and Praxis requires a 1000Mbps Dual Intel Network Card. The capacity of the Praxis connection may exceed that of your wireless router.
• The further you are from your router, the slower your Praxis speed.
• Wireless encryption - a security necessity - slows down wireless speed and Praxis performance.
