Ethernet Card (optional)
100/1000 auto-sensing network card
A NIC or Network Interface Card is a circuit board or chip, which allows the computer to
communicate to other computers on a Network. If you eventually plan on having more than one
computer using Boatslip Manager, this is a must. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND WIRELESS
technology. The reason for this is due to the many variables that can affect wireless signal
strength. Loosing connectivity while connected to a database can cause corruption which is why
it is not promoted.
Report Printer
Laser Printers Are Recommended Over Inkjet Printers.
- Brother laser printers are recommended
- All-in-One Inkjet Printers are NOT recommended. All-In-One printers that Fax, Scan, Copy and Print have complex drivers that somertimes give unpredirectable results and are NOT recommended. It is also not a cost effective solution in a business environment.
SAAS Customers!!! (Software As A Service)
We enforce certain printers in order to control system stability on our servers. Please communicate with our Support Team before purchasing printing hardware.
