Installing the 

Prime Optical

 client and server on the same workstation consumes server resources and could degrade 

performance. We strongly recommend that you install the 

Prime Optical

 client on a workstation separate from the 

Prime Optical

 server.

1. If you plan to run multiple Prime Optical client sessions on a single client workstation, add 512 MB of RAM and a 240 MHz CPU for each 

additional Prime Optical client.

2. Memory requirements are for Prime Optical client software only. For cross-launched applications such as Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) or 

Cisco Edge Craft (CEC), see the CTC or CEC documentation.

3. Disk space requirements are for Prime Optical and CEC client software only.

4. If you are installing Prime Optical with Prime Central, DNS must be enabled on the machine where Prime Optical is installed. If the machine cannot 

resolve hostnames into IP addresses through DNS, Prime Optical registration will fail.
