Before you start the SI Client, consider the following:
Review the supported installation environments for SI.
Check out the hardware and software requirements.
Check out the SI Release Notes.
Here are some things you need to know about the SI Client before starting the installation.
The SI Client must be installed on Windows; there is no Mac version of SI.
If using a Mac, you will need to install it on Windows on a virtual machine.
The third-party software you wish to use with SI, like Visio and/or AutoCAD, must be installed before installing the SI Client. If you plan to install the third-party software later, you will need to run the appropriate Drawing Add-Ins Manager to link it with SI.
Firewall Configuration
The SI Installer will automatically add the needed exceptions to your Windows Firewall. If you are using another firewall on your machine or network, you will want to make sure that the following ports are added as exceptions:
Port 9010 - this is the default port that the SI Client uses to connect to your SI Server
Port 1433 TCP
Port 1434 UDP
The following web addresses are important, and you will want to make sure these are allowed through your firewall:
cloud.d-tools.com
files.d-tools.com
downloads.d-tools.com
Installation
