905 over wan Blank Title 132987

I know that some users in Australia have been using E9 with WAN accelerators which have been very successful.

For us we are using WAN compression and tweak the settings in the client config.

I am vary wary of attempting to install a client machine over the WAN though.  Typically I do it piecemeal.  I run the client installer then grab a copy of the client folder from a machine in the same network and copy it over.

When we first implemented our intention was to use Epicor Web Access for all of our remote sites, but its performance was worse than the rich client over the WAN.

what are others using for users going over a wan?  we have multiple sites and 1 larger user site that seems to have intermittent communication problems, they will either be real slow or sometimes they get the communication layer message client communication failure.  there are roughly 10 - 15 users at the remote site and are connected via dual bonded T1's.  our utilization on the T1's is less than 15% at the times that this is happening.  Just looking to find out if others are having this same problem and how others are connecting remote sites.  thanks

Hi jcrisino,

We've connected across VPN and over wireless for awhile and found that enabling WAN compression makes  a difference in our environment.  If you haven't tried it, then you may want to give that a shot.  You can enable WAN compression by going to \\server\epicor905\utilities and installing the E9 Performance Diagnostic Tool.  Once you get it installed, you can go into Options, set it up, then you can network diagnostics.  You can also check the box to "Use Wan Compression".  It is a neat little tool.


Good luck!


Thanks,

Chris

Not 905 sites but even back on Vantage we found that tweaking settings in the switches, especially at the remote site, could make a huge difference.  I’m no networking or switch expert but the hired in expert found settings that were causing a lot of extra (off WAN) traffic in the LANs.   Every switch is a little different in terms of setup and programming but the principles are pretty much the same.  Might be worthwhile looking at that or hiring someone to examine the setup.

 

As for WAN were anticipating doing terminal services RDP over the VPN between the firewalls between MN and AZ.  This worked very well (granted Vantage 6.1) at the last site I was at because it kept the latency minimal due to being between the TS server and the Vantage server in the same rack with 1GB connection between them.

is this a module that needs to be installed? do you have to restart the server after installing it and is it different than the network compression that is on the user security screens?  Thanks
