Thuraya IP User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the TCP Accelerator for Thuraya IP manual and I am ready to answer your questions about it. This manual provides instructions for installing the software on Windows operating systems, using proxy or transparent modes. I can assist with installation steps, system requirements, and general usage guidance.
  • What operating systems are supported?
    What are the minimum CPU requirements?
    How much disk space is needed for the installation?
    How do I start the client in transparent mode?
