Pre-check virtual training (Eng)

Step 1: Check hardware and software requirements

• Step 1: Check hardware and software requirements

  WHAT ARE THE MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS?
  What do you need to take a virtual training course?

  • A computer with an internet connection (preferably > 10mbps)
  • A current internet browser (for example Chrome or Firefox)
    
  • A microphone (a headset for a desktop computer or the built-in microphone in a laptop)
  • Optional: a camera 

  Since the training takes place from your own workplace, you are responsible for the hardware and also certain, non-Esri software.
  
  WE RECOMMEND IN PARTICULAR:
  

  • Windows 10 or 8.1 (Pro or Enterprise edition). If you are working with a Mac computer, the at least Mac OSX version 10.11 must be installed. See here for the exact specifications.
  • Linux is not supported for Webex. 
  • A wired, high-speed internet connection. WIFI is possible but test in the pre-check (step 3) if the speed is sufficient.
  • We do not recommend using Citrix or Terminal Server to connect. It is often more convenient and stable to use a local PC or private PC.
    
  • An HTML 5-enabled web browser met cookies, JavaScript ActiveX and plug-ins enabled.
  • The ability and privileges to connect to a virtual machine using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or to install the Remote Desktop app if required. 
  • The ability and privileges to install a Webex client for communication.
  • A firewall configuration that provides access to ports 443 and 3389. Proxies must be disabled or configured to allow access. This is usually already the case at home.
  • The PC must be able to transmit sound through a headset or speakers. If you want to be able to communicate with the teacher via the PC, a separate or built-in microphone is required.
    
  • To carry out the exercises, it is useful to connect your PC or PCs to two screens. A tablet as an extra screen is also a possibility.
