PowerDialer System Requirements
What are the minimum requirements for your network, operating system, memory, and browser to use PowerDialer?
Network Requirements
XANT services are delivered as a Software-as-a-service model, requiring an active internet connection. Due to the need for quick interactions, PowerDialer utilizes web socket technology. You must allow XANT connections through network firewall systems.

Chrome 80 Cookie Settings
Chrome 80 changed the way the browser handles third-party cookies. The new default setting allows SameSite to dictate which cookies to access. In order for the browser to continue using Powerdialer, the SameSite cookies setting must be disabled.
To Disable SameSite Cookies by Default Setting
- Navigate to the following address in your Chrome browser:
chrome://flags/#same-site-by-default-cookies
- Look for the “SameSite by default cookies” setting and toggle to Disabled.
- Relaunch Chrome.
- Check to see if your PowerDialer tab pages load correctly.
