CLIENT BROWSER SUPPORT

MCS in-browser testing solutions are only officially supported by the mainstream
browsers listed below:

 * Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Firefox

Internet Explorer and other less mainstream browsers may still work but are not
officially supported.

VIRTUAL SERVERS

MCS may be run on a virtual server. However a small number of users have
experienced erroneous jitter reports due to an inaccurate timer on a virtual
server. If you are planning to utilize the VoIP test, we recommend an initial
validation of the results by comparing jitter test results from MCS on a
dedicated server and the virtual server.

JAVA REQUIREMENTS

> MyConnection Server (MCS) version 10 or above no longer requires Java to be
> present on any client computer. MCS does require Java on the server platform.
> If installing on Linux then most popular platforms already have the Oracle
> Open JDK installed. Visualware fully supports the Oracle Java Open JDK. MCS
> requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and version 8 or above is
> recommended. Please note other Java versions from Oracle, such as Java SE, may
> require an additional Java support license from Oracle. Please review java.com
> for more information on Oracle license requirements, Java Open JDK and any
> additional license requirements for Java SE releases.
> 
> To validate the Oracle Java version in use:-
> 
>  * Open a command prompt
>  * type java -version and press the enter key
>  * The Oracle JVM version will be reported if present
> 
> It is recommended that you keep the Java VM up to date with Oracle releases.
> Keep in mind that Java is no longer required in the client.

SQL DATABASE API (OPTIONAL)

> MCS includes a proprietary database that automatically logs all test results.
> Use of the API requires a licensed external SQL database:
> 
> > MySQL: Download Connector/J from the MySQL web site.
> > 
> > Microsoft SQL Server: Download the SQL Server JDBC from the Microsoft web
> > site.

PORT REQUIREMENTS

> The default ports for the various MyConnection Server test types are listed
> below. The ports can be changed if needed in the MCS server configuration
> page.
> 
> > MySpeed: TCP, ports 20000, 20001
> > MyVoIP: UDP, ports 20000, 20001, TCP port 5060 (SIP test)
> > MyCapacity: UDP, port 8090
> > MyRoute: ICMP outbound - echo request; ICMP inbound - TTL expired in
> > transit, Echo reply
> > MyFirewall: UDP/TCP, these ports (or port ranges) are set in the 'custom
> > test' option
> 
> MyConnection Server includes a web engine which normally runs on HTTP port 80,
> although it can run on other ports. If MCS is to coexist on a server with IIS
> and you want MCS to run on port 80, see: stop IIS port grab.
