For Online Users

Optimal access to the internet:

  • Broadband internet access (T1, Cable, xDSL or better connection).
  • A high-speed broadband connection with low latency handles most of the needs of a modern dealership and Microcat EPC. If the connection also supports internet based telephone / video calls, downloading of large files, or hosting the dealership’s website, then a higher grade line might be required. The dealerships’ internet service provider can take into account particular circumstances and advise accordingly.
