Minimum hardware requirements

For production use, the computer on which you install or upgrade ATS Configuration Manager should meet or exceed the minimum hardware recommendations.  These recommendations are general.  Actual system needs for ATS Configuration Manager installations can vary based on many factors, including number of users and activity.

The following minimum hardware requirements apply to all computers running ATS Configuration Manager, including physical hardware and virtual machines (VMs):

Processor RAM Free Disk Space
1.4 GHz 64-bit processor Compatible with x64 instruction set 4 GB

4.5 GB (SSD is recommended)

The Setup program uses about 350MB of space.  The application creates log files. The default retention policies limits the total space used for log files not to exceed 4GB.

RAM shown is the minimum recommended for an installation. The installation may function better with more RAM, depending on activity, number of users, and background jobs.

Operating system requirements

The following Microsoft Windows operating systems are supported:

Windows 10

Windows 11

Windows Server 2012 SP1 (Full Server or Server Core)

Windows Server 2012 R2 SP1 (Full Server or Server Core)

Windows Server 2016 (Full Server, Server Core or Nano Server)

Windows Server 2019 (Full Server, Server Core or Nano Server)

Windows Server 2022 (Full Server, Server Core or Nano Server)

Dependencies:

If ATS Configuration Manager is to be run on Windows versions earlier than Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, then it will also require the Visual C++ Redistributable.  This dependency is automatically installed within the .NET Core installer.

The Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 is required to be installated manually if installing .NET Core via the installer script or deploying a self-contained .NET Core application.

For Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 machines, please ensure that the Windows installation is up-to-date and also includes hotfix KB2533623 installed through Windows Update.

Additional requirements

Available ports

ATS Configuration Manager, ATS Start and ATS Security Manager each require an available TCP port in order to access them.  ATS Configuration Manager defaults to port 4200, ATS Start defaults to port 4400 and ATS Security Manager defaults to port 5000.  It is strongly recommend that the ports 4200, 4400 and 5000 are not in use on your system before installing ATS Configuration Manager. 

If those ports are not available alternative ports can be specified during installation.

Local firewall configuration

If you are running a firewall on the computer where you will be installing ATS Configuration Manager, then you will need to open 4200, 4400 and 5000 ports for ATS Configuration Manager traffic. If you override these ports during the installation, then the changed ports should be opened.

Virtual Environments

ATS Configuration Manager  operates in all virtualised environments when they are configured with the proper underlying operating system and minimum hardware requirements. 

Installation directory

By default, ATS Configuration Manager will install on the system drive where Windows is installed and, in most cases, the system drive is C:\. In this case ATS Configuration Manager will be installed into the following directories:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Applied Tech Systems\ATS Configuration Manager

C:\Program Files\Applied Tech Systems\ATS Configuration Manager

Localisation

ATS Configuration Manager is Unicode-enabled and compatible with data stored in any language.

The user interface is in English by default but other language packs can be installed easily.
