Laptop Preparation

Prepare Your Laptop

Before your Technical setup meeting, make sure your laptop is ready to run the local OpenField console software.

1. Check your system specifications
   Confirm that your laptop meets the minimum hardware and software requirements.

2. Adjust your network and firewall settings
   Ensure your firewall and network configurations allow OpenField programs to connect.

   • If your laptop is managed by your IT department, contact them to confirm that OpenField traffic is permitted.
     See Network and Firewall Configuration for detailed instructions.

   • For organisations with stricter security controls, antivirus policies, application allowlisting, or managed-device restrictions, review the OpenField Console Security, Exceptions and IT Policies - Overview and Recommended Setup guide before your setup session.

3. Allow TeamViewer access
   Support will connect to your laptop via TeamViewer during setup.

   • Remove any IT restrictions that could block installation.

   • Make sure TeamViewer access is enabled for the Support team.
     See TeamViewer Setup and Access for steps.
