IMPORTANT NOTE!!!

Power surges, power dips and power failures can damage computer equipment and corrupt databases, if computer equipment is switch off without proper shutdown procedures. Steps must therefore be taken to protect valuable computer hardware and databases by providing constant and regulated power supply as follows:

On each computer and network switch an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) must be installed.

For remote areas where power supply is often interrupted we recommend that a generator 5.5kw with Voltage regulator be installed to supply power to all the UPS points in the network system when power failures occur.

Secure remote access to the Novtel system's form anywhere in the world is easily achieved with Microsoft Terminal Server that ships with Windows server 2003 and 2008 standard edition. Internet connection is the only requirement to setup this powerful remote access feature up.
