Note: Sanako Study only supports Microsoft OneNote 2007. In order to use the OneNote feature, Microsoft OneNote
must be installed on the student computers before installing Study Student. Otherwise Study will be unable to connect to
OneNote and tutor notes cannot be sent to students’ OneNote applications.

system runs smoothly on each computer where a Study Tutor or Student application will be installed.
System requirements
Network Requirements
The following requirements should be met by the network.
•
Multicast must be enabled in the network.
•
All computers must be in the same TCP/IP sub-net in order to allow multicast transfer of screen and
audio to students
•
It is recommended that all workstations within a room are connected to the same network switch with
support for multicast transmission
•
Student and teacher workstations need to be able to PING each other and the Study Server with
TCP/IP packets
•
If the computers have multiple network adapters, the adapter used by Sanako Study must be bound
first, because Windows operating systems send multicast data to the first adapter
•
In LAN minimum of 100Mbps speed or greater dedicated to each workstation. For Wi-Fi
implementations, please refer to the Sanako Wi-Fi Deployment Guide found on the installation DVD
for requirements and suitable wireless hardware
•
For optimum performance in file operations, we recommend using a file server for storing media files
and collected student recordings. However, the teacher computer may be used for file operations if a
separate file server is not available.
• Teacher and students should have unrestricted access to the server
• Schools may use an existing server with Linux, Windows NT or Windows Server operating
system
• A NAS (Network Attached Storage) server may also be used
System requirements
Firewall settings
Sanako Study adds required Windows firewall exceptions automatically during installation.
If a non-Windows firewall is used please verify that the following programs have been added to the
firewall exceptions list.
•
Tutor.exe (Tutor computer)
•
Student.exe (Student computers)
•
StudyServer.exe (on computer with Study Server software)
The default TCP ports used by Sanako are:
•
Port 5060 for audio packets
