Cyber Train is a 100% web-based training management solution that takes advantage of Microsoft SQL Server, HTML, .NET 3.5, and Active Server Page technology to provide a stable, efficient training management experience.
Primary Language
All web pages in Cyber Train are written using standard HTML 4.0 coding, server-side .NET Active Server Page (ASPX) technology, and client-side Javascript. ASPX’s are the Microsoft-native method for server-side scripting and database access (using Active Data Objects (ADO) .NET). Javascript is the industry standard for client-side browser scripting and is used for form validation and simple page redirections.
SMTP
Much of the functionality of Cyber Train depends on automatic emails that are generated during the training management process. These emails are sent via SMTP technology. In order for this to function properly, a working SMTP server must be available that allows relaying from the web server. This SMTP Server Name (or IP address) is entered under Admin/System Setup in Cyber Train. Cyber Train’s SMTP functionally supports SMTP Authentication and/or changing of the standard SMTP port.

Cyber Train can be configured on two different servers (one web server and one SQL Server) or can be installed exclusively on one server.

Cyber Train User Machines
The recommended environment for this version is Windows OS running Google Chrome (v63). Each browser operates slightly different. Testing for basic functionality has been done in various environment including FireFox, Safari, Edge and Internet Explorer. The user application can be run on a mobile device but operates more effectively on a standard computer.
User Mobile Devices
The “Smart” emails triggered by the system can be read on any mobile device which can accept email. To allows users to respond to the email via the mobile device, the following software/server settings are needed:
- The user must be connected to a network which has a connection to Cyber Train OR the system must be a public site so it can be accessed outside the standard network.
- The mobile device must be able to read/interpret HTML coding.
Hardware Recommendations
Cyber Train is a very low-transaction application and therefore requires minimal hardware configurations by today’s standards. As with any web-based or SQL server-based application, however, your necessary hardware depends on which other applications share the same servers.
If Cyber Train were the only web application on your web server, the web server would require at least a 1.5GHz single processor and 2GB of RAM. The amount of hard drive space needed is less than 30MB.
If Cyber Train were the only application using your SQL Server, it would require at least a 2GHz single processor and 2GM of RAM. Upon installation, Cyber Train creates a database that uses 150MB of hard drive space. The database will grow automatically as needed but can hold at least 20,000 students before needing to grow.

- SCORM Feature - Must have internet access for this to function (not internet access configured through a proxy)
- Creating a public facing website allows for quicker troubleshooting and support (even if the website is not 'published')
- Unique environments and infrastructures may have an impact on the software application and how it functions. Hosting is always an option.
