Q: Configuring your web-filter to sync iPads with the cart.

Just to let everyone know who is in the school systems using iPads with sync-carts, when you try to use the Apple Configurator and your behind a web filter you need to allow a certain IP address so you can communicate with apple. I kept getting an error that said " retreiveing iOS information from apple" then it would time out and get an internet error.

 

The IP address that I allowed was 17.154.66.38.

 

This IP needs contacted so that Apple can communicate with your iPads and register them or something IDK but I know now that it works and i'm happy.

 

I used Activity Monitor to check what IP or port the program was trying to access and sure enough it was 17.154.66.38.

 

I hope this helped some tech people out their, hence their is no resource for this important step in iPad deployment.
