NETWORK/BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS (School/District Use Only)
Overview: Internet bandwith needs are based upon the number of users who are taking assessments concurrently from a site. The initial start-up of assessments uses the most bandwidth. Once students are in the middle of an assessment, bandwidth needs decrease. Network quality must be sufficient to avoid packet loss when multiple computers are assessing students. Generally, modern network equipment less than three years old should be adequate.

Internet Connection Requirements
- DSL, Cable, Satellite, or WiFi Broadband internet connection
- Internet connection speeds of 1.5M/256K or higher are recommended, though this requirement may vary based on your overall network needs.
Local Area Network Requirements
- LAN, including routers, switches, and network cards, should be 100mBit or greater
- All labs using the assessments must be on switches, not hubs
- Chaining a switch into a single port of another switch is not advised unless both switches have 100mBit capacity and are running at full duplex.
- Any old or unusual network configurations may cause network collisions and result in packet loss. This will make the assessment seem as if it is freezing, when actually packet loss is preventing the data from reaching the computer running the assessment.
