This information should be read in conjunction with IT and system requirements for Landonline.

Internet connection
You will require access to the Internet via an ISP (Internet Service Provider). The type of Internet connection you choose will affect the performance (speed) that you experience for activities such as downloading image files and printing.
The following are examples of connection types:
Broadband:
- ADSL connection (the most common type of broadband connection)
- Cable connection
Broadband connections will provide high-speed "always available" connectivity. Other types of available broadband include wireless broadband and satellite broadband. However, their suitability for Landonline has not been assessed.
Dial up:
- 56 Kbps dial-up connection:
This connection will provide the slowest connectivity and is not recommended.
For optimal performance and functionality within Landonline, we recommend use of a high-speed Internet connection of at least 256 Kbps download, 128 Kbps upload. See All about Internet connections for more information.
Email address
You will require an email address to allow for product delivery and other notifications provided by LINZ.
LINZ recommends single-user email addresses over shared email addresses.
Firewall considerations
Landonline can be accessed via firewalls and proxy servers. If a firewall or proxy server is being used, it must not block the flow of information from the central LINZ server.
If you are connecting to the Internet via a company firewall or proxy server, talk to your IT support staff or service provider to determine how access can be best achieved to our secure site. In order to access Landonline via a firewall or proxy server you will need to consult Firewalls and Proxy Servers – configuration tips.
