1.0 Doors.NET Recommended PC Configuration

This article provides recommended PC hardware requirements to ensure acceptable
software system operation in standard and advanced access control applications using
Doors.NET.

Access control applications with large numbers of controllers and/or cardholders should
always consider upgrading from the minimum recommendation. Operating System
compatibility is listed in section 2.

Note: PC capability, cost, and accessibility is constantly changing. This document
provides Keri's recommendations, but is subject to change as PC hardware changes.

2.0 Operating System Compatibility Table

If you do not know the type of microprocessor/operating system your PC uses, you can find this information by running Microsoft’s System Information utility. This utility is a part of your operating system. The microprocessor type is found under System Summary > System Type. Your System Type will be listed as either "x64-based PC" for 64-bit
microprocessors or "x86-based PC" for 32-bit microprocessors.

The following table lists Windows operating systems that are compatible with
Doors.NET series 4 and above:

Doors.NET Series 4 onwards Software Notes:

• Doors.NET series 4 and above software is not compatible with Aimetis Symphony and Panasonic Video as these systems are dependent upon an older version of Microsoft .NET Framework software. This is likely true for other, older video systems as well.
  
  

• Keri has ended support for ASSA Wi-Fi/PoE locking products.
  
  

• The new Visual Doors client is installed with series 4 and above. It is not available for use with older versions of Doors.NET.
  
  

• Windows XP is capped at Doors.NET v3.5.1.21 as it is no longer supported by Microsoft.

3.0 Doors.NET Operating System Compatibility Table
(up to v3.5.1.22 SP1)

Important Note:

Doors.NET Series 3 software is no longer in development as it uses an out-of-date version of Microsoft's .NET Framework. Keri strongly recommends you update your PC hardware and operating system to stay current with Microsoft system requirements to be capable of running the current Doors.NET Series 6 software.
