- Your computer’s operating system must be among the types listed below and able to connect to the Internet using one of the browsers indicated. (If your browser isn't on this list, it may not properly work with the ICON system.)
- IPERS also requires that your browser have 128 bit encryption capability, which is available as a free download from any of the browser suppliers.
Call IPERS if you have questions about these specifications.
