Footnotes

1. Internet access allows you to download the latest updates off our web site, receive emails on new updates and promotions, and receive software technical support assistance and training when needed. We strongly recommend high-speed Internet access. Note: We strongly recommend a wired connection for all computers running SalonTouch. High-speed Internet access is required for the hosted SalonTouch platform.

2. A single network switch or router is required if setting up a LAN. The switch should be able to support the number of devices you plan to connect in one store.

3. We strongly recommend you protect your computer from viruses that can destroy data. Two possible products are “Kaspersky Internet Security” by Kaspersky and “AVG Anti-Virus” by Grisoft. We recommend using a program that allows adding software exclusions. We do not recommend Symantec or McAfee anti-virus products because they can slow down the performance of your computer.

4. UPS Battery Backup is a device the computer system plugs into to provide protection against power surges, brown outs and loss of power. These devices can keep your system up running for a period of time even when there is no power
