Additional requirements

 
Firewall settings

Even though ports 210 or 2100 are used by most of the z39.50 servers, the z39.50 protocol doesn’t specify which port has to be used for the TCP/IP connections, so in order to access a wider range of servers ports 210 and >= 1024 should be opened for the outgoing requests.

 
An external SMTP server should be accessible, or it should be installed on each VAM SIE server, to allow email notification.

 
Bandwidth

The bandwidth specified above is the minimum required for the system to work properly. In the future a wider bandwidth could be needed.
