LAN Client to Server Latency Specification

It is important to follow the required latency specifications for ProVision. The pof the ProVision system is affected by the latency

erformancebetween the Client and the Server. In a

system with multiple Clients, high latency between the Server and a single Client will

ormaaffect the perf nce of all clients, both LAN and WAN based.Latency in msec Notes

Recommended tency for anyon Server.

10 This is the recommended minimum laProVision Client connection to the ProVisi

Maximum 20 This is the maximum latency for any ProVision Clienteeding this valueconnection to the ProVision Server. Exc

will result in poor performance.

It is probable that the latency specification may be exceeded when a PV LAN client isly (e.g., VPN or WAN connection). When this is the case, a PV WAN client
