The controller network can be Ethernet TCP/IP, dial-up TCP/IP, 4120 token ring or any combination of the three. The type of network selected for a particular controller depends upon customer requirements, distance limitations, and existing network infrastructure.

iSecure operates in a Microsoft Windows™ Domain environment. The server utilizes Windows 2000 Server and the workstations run Windows 2000 Professional. iSecure uses SQL Server 7, Microsoft's enterprise client/server databases solution. It is designed to operate efficiently and effectively in both local and wide area networks.

The iSecure Server can be configured as a domain controller or member server. Workstations can be members of the server's domain or may be members of other domains as long as the appropriate trust relationships are created. If the iSecure Server is a member server, it can be a member of a Windows 2000 domain or a Windows NT domain. iSecure has no requirement for Active Directory. It simply utilizes the domain account mechanism of the domain server.

TCP/IP addresses can be assigned dynamically on iSecure Workstations; however, the server requires a static address if the system utilizes Ethernet or dial-up ISCs. The ISCs identify the iSecure Server by address; therefore, the server's TCP/IP address cannot change without also changing the host address at each ISC.
