NETWORK:
Network requirements
A network connection of 100Mbps (wired) or 802.11g or 802.11n (wireless) is also required.
Protocols: TCP/IP, UDP
Teacher Application TCP Port: 42124 (default)
UDP Port: 5353 (for multicast)
Live Presenter VNC Port: 42125 (default)
Routing and traffic policies must allow packets to pass between the teacher and the student computers. Group policies must be configured to allow continuous traffic between teacher and student computers.
Different sub network scenarios are supported as long as routing between them is configured.
Software firewalls, hardware firewalls, and other threat protection software must not block the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ NC Teacher Software application or the application traffic between teacher and student.
In a wireless environment, make sure that your network infrastructure is robust enough to prevent overloading channels, reduce wireless packet loss, and prevent students from dropping the network.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:
These applications use your existing network infrastructure. Communications between the teacher computer and the student computer is established through a Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connection.
The teacher computer broadcasts the current class name through the network using Multicast. This process registers the class as a service on the network. You must enable Multicast to broadcast available classes. If Multicast cannot be enabled, you can add preferred hosts to a preferences file on the student computers.
The student computer uses DNS Service Discovery to connect to the teacher computer and find the class. When the student logs into the class, the application residing on the student computer requests files or sends files for the class.
For students connecting through a wireless network, the network must be a 1-to-1-ready network.
Since a maximum of 50 students can connect to a teacher computer, a wired connection to the network may require a bigger network pipe to handle multiple requests if you are using an older wireless infrastructure.
By default, the communication between TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Teacher Software and TI-Nspire™ Student Software uses a secure HTTPS connection through the application main port 42124. Basic authentication is performed on all communications such as sending and collecting files.
Live Presenter requires a password to authenticate communication. The system sets the Live Presenter feature password to a unique value known only to the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ NC Teacher Software and TI-Nspire™ or TI-Nspire™ CAS Student Software. The password is valid for only the current class session. The Live Presenter VNC starts by default through port 42125.
