Internet Connection Tips to Run BMS

Internet Connection Tips to Run BMS
BMS requires a continuous connection at a minimum speed in order to perform correctly. It is often not enough to just have a fast connection, although it helps when downloading screens, printing reports, and viewing documents. The connection must also be stable and continuous. Much like a phone call, even a brief interruption can break the connection. Email and web pages make quick connections to get information and then disconnect from the servers until the next time they check for more information.
 
Several things can contribute to an unstable connection: faulty equipment (routers, modems, switches, even a bad network card), routers that have session timeouts and reset connections, viruses, noise on the provider's line coming into the building, etc. It can even be caused by a router trying to provide quality of service (QOS) to other protocols such as VoIP phone calls.
 
An internet provider should be able to identify and correct any of the issues starting from from their installed equipment and ending with their office, including latency, jitter, noise, etc.
