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.
