Device Web Server (DWS) Requirements

This section describes minimum requirements for the Device Web Server (DWS). All servers are 64-bit unless otherwise stated.

Component Requirements
Operating system
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (Standard and Datacenter)
  • Windows Server 2016 and 2019
Processor
  • Small deployment recommendation: Single dual core desktop CPU -  2 GHz or higher
  • * Large deployment recommendation: XEON or Opteron CPU -  2MB or more 2nd-level cache, with at least 4-core CPUs/cores
Memory
  • Small deployment recommendation: 4 GB of RAM
  • * Large deployment recommendation: At least 16 GB of RAM
Disk space
  • Small deployment recommendation: 10 GB
  • * Large deployment recommendation: At least 100 GB
Software
  • Visual C++ Redist 2015 or later
Web Browsers
  • Internet Explorer 11.0 (or higher)
  • Google Chrome 10.0 (or higher)

* The large deployment server specifications listed above are for when Equitrac is used, and when DWS (as part of ControlSuite 1.1 Fix Pack 2 or higher) is working to its maximum and supporting up to 400 devices per DWS instance. These server specifications are higher than the standard DWS server specifications that are listed above due to the increased load and performance required.
DWS memory requirements cannot be shared with any other component running on the same server.
DWS must be installed on the same machine as DCE when running Xerox ECSP, Fuji-Xerox ECSP or Konica Minolta combined clients.
