Janet Videoconferencing can offer standard firewall advice and FAQs but will not support individual users of Desktop Videoconferencing - all communication must be channelled through the site administrator. If the software does not install or run correctly, the user’s local IT department should be consulted. For the Desktop Videoconferencing software to work effectively, the user must be connected to a reliable network and have access to a suitable MS Windows PC or laptop which is equipped with a webcam and headset.

Firewalls and proxies

It has become increasingly popular over the last few years for Janet sites to deploy firewalls; many sites have realised that their users do not require full, open access to all workstations and servers on a campus. By controlling access, staff time can be saved in chasing up ‘hacking’ incidents, and the types of service used can be kept under control. Bandwidth usage is also rising dramatically, so firewalls now have to be able to operate at gigabit speeds.
