The following is a list of recommendations for the host machine that runs the Wireless Protocol Suite application and connects Frontline hardware: X240, X240i, X500, X500e, and X700.
For optimal performance, the software should be run on a recent generation computer. However, the software should also operate on machines that are below the minimum requirements specified here, at the cost of slower performance provided the memory, storage, and display requirements are satisfied.
Operating System:
-
Windows 10 & 11 with latest Service Pack.
-
macOS 14 (Sonoma)
-
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Processor:
-
Core i5 processor at 2.7 GHz
-
Apple M1 (8-core CPU)
-
WPS support is unavailable on Intel-based Mac computers.
-
Memory (RAM):
-
This software application may use up to 4 GB of RAM in the host machine. For improved performance of the software, it is recommended that 8 GB of RAM be installed on the host machine.
Non-volatile Storage (SDD or Hard Disk):
-
600 MB is required for installing the Frontline Analyzer software on the host machine.
-
At least 20 GB of additional storage space is needed for operation of the software application and for storing recorded data in files. Note that large captures can require multiple gigabytes and can quickly fill your available storage space.
Display:
-
To take full advantage of the rich visualization and analysis of Wireless Protocol Suite application, it is recommended that the display be set to at least 1050 lines of vertical resolution with at least 24-bit color depth.
-
The minimum requirement for the display is a resolution of 1024x768 with at least 16-bit color depth.
