Can a district firewall cause any problems for the eMINTS program?
Problems exist only if a district wishes to eventually incorporate videoconferencing in eMINTS classrooms. Videoconferencing is not a required element of the eMINTS program. A firewall or proxy server will prevent teachers from making use of any H.323 desktop video conferencing. Dedicated public IP numbers are required for the teacher workstation and laptop if districts elect to add videoconferencing capabilities to eMINTS classrooms.
