A PCIe slot is available for connecting the TBS-6925 / TBS-6983 / TBS-
6903/TBS-6908 receiver;
Operating System is compliant. The tested Linux distribution in this manual is
UBUNTU LTS 14.04.02 (32 bit) and Centos 6.6 Final (32 bit). The 64 bit version
of these distributions can also be used by installing the 32bit compatibility drivers;
Firefox 35 and higher or any other compatible browser;
Root access to the reception host system;
The EUMETCast antenna pointing has been performed correctly to
