LXR*TEST 6.1 System Requirements

LXR*TEST System Requirements/Recommendations:
  • Windows 2000, XP
  • 64 megs RAM minimum, dependent on OS*
  • CD drive
  • 50 megs available hard disk space for program installation plus additional space for file storage
  • Pentium 2 - 200 mHz or faster CPU, dependent on OS*
  • Video resolution of 800x600 or higher
  • Internet connection (for updating program components)
*Please refer to Microsoft's required/recommended system specifications for your specific operating system.

* Refer to Microsoft's required/recommended system specifications for your specific Windows 32-bit operating system. NOTE: LXR*TEST software (including Web Server Extensions and Student LAN client) currently are NOT SUPPORTED under the Windows 64-bit operating system editions.

Network Requirements:

LXR*TEST 6.1 is a true network-compatible product.  If you want to use LXR*TEST 6.0 in a network client/server environment, you must install on a Microsoft network (either 2000 or 2003).  Novell networks are unsupported; thin client systems are also unsupported. You should refer to the following technical note on installing LXR*TEST 6.1 in a Microsoft client/server environment.



Student LAN Client System Requirements/Recommendations:

Same as for the core LXR*TEST software.

Guidelines for Installation and Use:

The Student LAN Client software must be installed on each client (workstation) machine from where a student will take a LAN-based LXR*TEST exam.

Web Server Extension System Requirements/Recommendations:

Refer to Microsoft's required/recommended system specifications for a 2000 or 2003 web server.

Network Requirements:

In order to administer Web-based LXR*TEST exams, you will need a Windows-based server (either 2000 or 2003) with Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, or later version, software installed, prior to installing the LXR*TEST Web Server Extension software on such server.  Click here for guidelines on getting your web server ready for web-based testing. You should refer to the following technical note on configuring file sharing and permissions prior to web-test administration.



SQL Server Requirement:

LXR*TEST 6.1 incorporates Microsoft JET engine database technology (LXR*TEST databases are Microsoft Access databases) which is intended for use by small workgroups. Online LAN or web testing requires scalability in support of concurrent access of the online testing databases by examinees. LXR*TEST achieves the necessary scalability by using upsized SQL databases and it’s therefore assumed that your online testing architecture will include Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or 2005. Online testing environments that do not utilize SQL Server are prone to problems and cannot be supported by LXR.

All LXR*TEST databases can easily be upsized to SQL using Microsoft Access.

Please refer to Microsoft's required/recommended system specifications for a SQL server.
You should refer to the following technical note on upsizing an LXR*TEST 6.1 (Access) database to SQL Server format.
