This page is meant to be shared with the venue or school IT department before your event. It lists the outbound connections the AV cart needs so streaming, remote support, and our web apps work on a restrictive/filtered network. The cart only ever makes outbound connections — no inbound ports need to be opened.
How to use this page
Give the IT contact this page (or the URL https://docs.fimav.us/docs/it-allowlist) and ask them to allow the domains and ports below for the AV cart’s IP/MAC address.
If they can only do one thing, the single most impactful change is: allow all outbound TCP 443 (HTTPS), plus outbound TCP 1935 and 1937 (RTMP/RTMPS streaming). That covers the large majority of what we need. The tables below give the specific hostnames for stricter environments.
Live streaming
The stream goes out over RTMP/RTMPS. If these ports are blocked the stream will not start (see Stream Won’t Start).
The cart signs into a Google Workspace account (fimvideo<#>@firstinmichigan.org) and syncs event assets over Google Drive for Desktop. The recommended live-captions engine (“Google V2”) also uses Google’s speech API.
