iSP System Requirements The following system requirements must be meet before accessing iSP. Please work with your IT to ensure that these system requirements are in place. Web-proxy/Firewall needs to be open to allow access to Port 8000. Suppliers must have their IT open port 8000 on their proxy server. Information on opening the port for Microsoft servers can be found on the Microsoft web site. If you are using an Internet Service Provider who is reluctant to open port 8000, the only option to get to iSupplier Portal at Agilent, would be to have one machine with a different service provider like MSN or AOL. Internet Explorer version 5.5 or higher. If you do not have IE 5.5 or higher, iSP will not perform properly. If you’re utilizing software utilities that block advertisement, pop-ups, and SPAM (Pop-up stopper, Spamkiller, etc.), and experience problems with iSP you may want to make the iSupplier Url available in respective application.
