Network Requirements

FIREWALL
In most cases, the Marratech software will work directly through personal and corporate networks. If this is not the case, you may need to configure the following ports in your firewall
TCP ports: 8000 (for http)
UDP ports: 52000 to 52999

Notes: These ports should be configured in 'allow-return' mode towards the Marratech Manager server's IP address (151.198.208.101). This means that only meetings originating from within your firewall will be allowed through and only to the originating client. Otherwise, data is not allowed through.
A note on USB:
We recommend connecting all USB devices to a USB 2.0 computer. The older USB 1.1 will often cause bad sound / or video quality as it did not have enough bandwidth or power to drive audio and video and other equipment (scanners, printers, hard disks, etc) at the same time.
A note on audio:
Some built-in audio cards (especially on laptops) may leak audio, meaning that the signal coming out from the output goes in the input. This may cause echo. We have seen this on a number of HP laptops. The solution has been a USB headset.
