It is perfectly acceptable to use your FocalPoint® Server computer as a workstation but not recommended. If you plan on using the server as a workstation, you’ll need to make sure that this computer has the same port requirements for things like bar code scanners, swipe readers, etc.  These port requirements are detailed in the “Workstation Requirements” section below.
