The following are the hardware and software requirements for using Mobile Quote.
Hardware and OS
The Mobile Quote app only works with iPads running iOS 8 or later. We recommend having 1 GB of available memory on your device.
Software
The Mobile Quote 2.0 app only works with SI 2017 Update 3 and above.
Parallels Settings
If you run SI on a server running Parallels on a Mac, you must ensure your networking is set to "Bridged" in the Parallels configuration.
Using shared networking will make the app unable to connect to the Windows virtual.
You can set up bridged networking in the Parallels configuration.
1/ In your system tray, right-click on the Parallels icon.
2/ Select Configure.
3/ In the Configure dialog, choose Hardware.
4/ In the panel on the left of the hardware screen, select Network 1. (it may be named something different on your machine, so look for "Network ..." That should be the one.)
5/ In the main panel next to Type, select the Bridged Network Default Adapter selection.
6/ Restart your Parallels virtual for the settings to take effect.
Networking
You must be able to connect your iPad to your network where the machine running your SI Server resides, using the IP Address of your SI Server.
Your SI Server must be on a network with wireless access so that your iPad can connect to it if you are within your network.
Your wireless network can not be assigned as a "Public network" since this prevents networking between devices.
Set your network location as either "Home network" or "Work network."
If you are using our AWS-hosted solution, you will use WiFi to connect to your SI Server.
Within the network only: In this case, the SI Server can only be connected to other computers on the network. The iPad device must be connected to the network running the SI Server wirelessly.
Via VPN: iPad devices include a VPN client that can be used to make VPN connections. Again, the setup here is very similar to how D-Tools customers currently configure SI to be accessed over VPNs, with the additional step of configuring the VPN or any firewall to allow http traffic on port 9011.
Via HTTP: A new option available in SI is to make the services publicly available via http. In this case, you will need to set up the firewall to allow traffic to the SI Server via http on port 9011. If you have a domain, they can create a subdomain such as mobilequote.mycompany.com for these services. In this case, the Mobile Quote user only needs an active internet connection to connect to SI.
