employs Voice over IP to provide both the audio and the visuals on your
Windows workstation. Prior to the session, you should run a System
Check via the following URL to verify your workstation meets the
following minimum requirements.
(We have given Centra the requirement to provide a non-Windows client
to connect to these sessions)
