FXPlus Specifications for Companies
It is advisable to install server operating systems, especially if a lot of users need to be served and in order to meet high standards of efficiency.
The amount of memory FXPlus consumes under normal conditions is around 100ΜΒ.
Satellite
For a working installation through satellite, we must have a satellite dish with a diameter between 80cm to 1m, which should point to satellite Eutelsat
W3 7o East. The system works in a unidirectional way, capable of receiving and not transmitting data. All satellite installations are accompanied
with a satellite receiver DVB (USB connection) which will be installed by our expert technicians.
Internet
To achieve proper operation through internet, FXPlus must be installed in a network which complies with the following network connection
specifications:

Access for TCP packets in address ipdata.inforex.gr (IPs: from 95.0.13.101 to 95.0.13.110) on ports 80 or 443 or 8000 (for data streaming)

Access for TCP packets in address data.inforex.gr (IPs: 95.0.13.100 and 95.0.13.131) on ports 80 or 443 or 8000 (for historical data retrieval)
The application requires approximately 40Kbps (mean values) for every connection and it has been checked for normal operation even with PSTN lines.

Server \ Client communication
Communication between server \ client is done by using modern Ethernet networks (without excluding the use of other network types, after proper
configuration). FXPlus server is transmitting data by using UDP, IP or Multicast packets and protocols according to customer needs.
Database files exist in both server and clients to minimize the use of bandwidth in the network and the application requires at least 3GB free space in the
hard disk drive for the symbols’ historical data, either we have server installation or client installation. We can save the database to a different Hard Disk
or folder on the same PC.
The computer user executing the application must have full rights in the installed folder without the need of configuring any other user rights in other
folders.
The versatility of FXPlus server \ client connection is capable of creating installations with great potential of expansion according to the customer’s needs
(we can have FXPlus servers operating as proxies giving data feed). That means, if we have many branch offices we can have FXPlus server in every
office, which will receive data from the main server and serving this data locally to users. With such configuration we achieve a significant reduce in total
bandwidth.
UDP transmission supports of up to 50 clients per server as the Multicast transmission literally supports an unlimited number of terminals, as long as the
correct setup has been made in the network.
