Access : Prerequisites and technical recommendations

The technical recommendations for ensuring good quality service when using SI STELLANTIS , relate to 3 aspects :
1. The Internet connection speed used by the garage.
2. The type of computer ( work station ) to be made available to the user ( Sales Advisor , …)
3. The browser / used to access the SI STELLANTIS


1. Internet connection speed used by the garage
The response times of the SI STELLANTIS ( Service Box , Diagbox , …) , depend on the Internet connection speed available at the user's workstation ( Sales Advisor , …) for these IS. .


How to measure the Internet connection speed
1. Log on to the computer of the user connecting to SI STELLANTIS.
2. Open up a browser session ( Microsoft IE )
3. Connect to a website that allows you to measure the actual connection speed , for example : www.testadsl.net/test-debit.html
4. Run the test.
5. The results show both the download and upload speeds.


Example of results :





Interpretation of results/Recommendation



Download speed

(débit descendant ou download)



Upload speed

(débit montant ou upload)




Less than 1 MB / ed

Or

Less than 0,2 MB / ed

Speed too low to use Service Box properly.
Very high risk of disruption and time-out.
Internet upgrade required

Between: 1 & 3 MB / ed

and

Between: 0,2 & 0,5 MB / ed

Speed could result in inadequate response times when using Service Box.
Internet upgrade required

More than 3 MB / ed

and

More than 0,5 MB / ed

Speed sufficient to use Service Box with response times approaching STELLANTIS benchmarks.
No Internet upgrade required.



Note :
the overall connection speed required by the garage from its Internet Service Provider ( FAI ) depends on the number of computer workstations and on what they are used for. .
The speed available on the SI STELLANTIS user's workstation must be measured when the various workstations at the garage are in nominal use. .
It is recommended to take several measurements at different times , to check that the available connection speed is comparable from one measurement to the next. .


2. Type of computer ( work station )
Response times also depend on the type of computer used. .
For optimum performance, , the specifications of the user's ( Sales Advisor , …) workstation must be higher than or equal to the following: :
Processor frequency3. 3 GHz
RAM8 Go





3. Browser used to access SI STELLANTIS
Service Box can be used ( Microsoft Internet Explorer , Mozilla Firefox , Google Chrome ) with most Internet browsers on the market. .
However, , at present ( 2018 ) , the system has only been proven to work optimally with : Microsoft Internet Explorer v11. .
It is therefore recommended to use , version 11 of this browser .



Note :
SAGAI ( web ) constitutes , for the moment , an exemption to this recommendation ; the currently usable browser is version IE9 of Internet Explorer. .
To access , this SI, we therefore recommend configuring one of the workstations with a IE9 browser. .


For information , A study is underway to enable use of SAGAI ( web ) with IE11 as well. . We will keep you informed of the corresponding timeframes. .
