Introduction to Web Conferencing and Remote Support MY OFFICE After you log in to the Web Conferencing/Remote Support Server, you are presented with your Office page. Your office page lists all the Web Conferencing meetings on this server that you are authorized to attend, such as any Web Conferencing public meetings or private meetings that you have been invited to attend. You can view the schedule by day, week, month, or all. To return to your office at any time, click the MY OFFICE on the main menu.

Based upon which products are installed and your user privileges, the server will display the buttons for the Web Conferencing and/or Remote Support features. My Office Page 9
Introduction to Web Conferencing and Remote Support Edit My Profile The Edit User page allows you to change account information such as password, name, e-mail address, and other user information. Required fields are indicated in red, as shown below. There are two options for E-mail Delivery: Conferencing Server (default) and User s E-mail Client. Reasons to select the Conferencing Server option: If the user has only Web-based mail. For example, if the user does not have Microsoft Outlook, EUDORA or another e-mail program that will work with the Mailto function (Yahoo!, Gmail, etc. will not work with the Mailto function). The Mailto function operates by opening a new message window when you click on an e-mail address link. The e-mail address appears in the To field. If the user chooses to use the default meeting e-mail notification and prefers to allow the conferencing server to handle the e-mails. The User s Email Client option allows a user to choose to use their own e-mail server to send out Web Conferencing meeting notifications. If the user wants to use their own mail server rather than the Conferencing server, they need to verify whether their current mail server can use the Mailto function. To verify whether a mail server can use Mailto: 1. Go to www.inter-tel.com. 2. At the bottom of the page, click the Contact Us link. 3. On the Web page that appears, click any e-mail link. If a mail server client appears, then User s E-mail Client can be used. Otherwise, if a mail server client does not appear, then the Conferencing Server option is the only option that will work. NOTE: If your user ID profile was set up with User's Email Client selected instead of Conferencing Server (the mail client that was included with Web Conferencing), you will have to manually create and send meeting cancellation notices. If your account was set up to use the mail client that was included with Inter-Tel Web Conferencing Server, the Meeting Cancellation e- mail will automatically be sent. Page 10 Edit My Profile

REMOTE SUPPORT FAQ Q1. What operating systems does Remote Support server run on? A1. Remote Support 4.x has been tested on Windows 2000 Server (all versions), Windows 2003 (all versions except Small Business Server). To run on Windows 2003 Server you will need to install Sun Java or Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. Either one can be obtained from our site at: http://www.linktivity.com/home/getjava.asp. Q2. What browsers can Remote Support 4.x support? A2. Remote Support 4.x supports Internet Explorer version 5.5 and later, Firefox, and Mozilla. Page 66 Other Browser Issues
FAQ/Troubleshooting Q3. What version of Java does Web Conferencing/Remote Support 4.x support and how do I know what version of Java Virtual Machine I am running? A3. Web Conferencing/Remote Support support both Microsoft Java Virtual Machine Version 5.00.3805 and higher as well as Sun Java 1.4x. Details from Test Browser will display the version of Java Virtual Machine currently used by your Internet Browser. To determine the installed version of Microsoft Java Virtual Machine: Open a DOS command window and from a Command Prompt, type jview. The first line of output should display the version number. To determine the installed version of Sun Java: Open Internet Options in the Control Panel or from IE's menu Tools - Internet Options. On the Advanced page the version will be listed under Java (Sun). NOTE: Most of the time, there will be multiple versions of Sun Java installed on the machine. If you are having problems passing the browser test or connecting to the session, confirm all older versions of Sun Java have been removed via Add/Remove Programs. Windows will try to use all available versions of Java if present. Q4. Can I transfer Host control to the person I invited to interrupt my session with the customer? A4. Yes, you can give them Host Control and you may exit the session if you wish (or watch). However, when you relinquish Host Control to someone, your session ID is still in use and you are not available until that person ends the session. Q5. Based on the license, how do you determine how many Web Agents (CSRs) I can add in Remote Support? A5. Remote Support licenses are sold on a per-agent (CSR) basis. If a 5-agent license is purchased, Remote Support will support up to 10 concurrent connections or twice the number of agents purchased. There is no limit on how many CSRs can be added. Customers waiting in the Queue do not count towards the total concurrent connections on the ConnectionPoint. Q6. I want to invite someone to a session but they do not have e-mail. Can I put a link on my Web site that will direct a client to a specific CSR? A6. Yes. By editing the Web page and adding a section of HTML code, it is possible to create a link to a specific CSR. http://yourserver.com/interactivedemo/gethelp_example.asp. You can also direct the customer to this URL: http://yourserver.com/interactivedemo/gethelp.asp. Q7. My performance is a little slow. How can I tell what kind of connection I am making? A7. Remote Support 4.x now makes 4 different types of connections in an attempt to allow all users into a meeting. The first connection attempt is a socket connection, which will list as TCP on the Test Browser results. If a Socket connection is not available, it will attempt a Proxy connection using the manual Proxy setting in Internet Explorer. If that fails it will attempt an HTTP (tunneling) connection. If no Java detected, it will be an HTML connection in which the user can only view the remote desktop and chat. Performance will vary based on the type of connection made. In order from fastest to slowest is TCP, Proxy, HTTP and HTML. Remote Support FAQ Page 67
FAQ/Troubleshooting Q8. Why do the session controls load but no Security Certificates display and none of the buttons work, but I am in the meeting and Test Browser passes? A8 The Security Certificate and Java applets that are used need ActiveX controls and Java Scripting enabled. This symptom can be caused by banner advertisement blocking software, which is designed to block pop-up windows from opening. In some cases, you can correct this problem by removing the setting that is disabling the pop-ups. Some Internet Security or Anti-Virus Programs now come with the added feature to stop Java script or block ActiveX and this feature is turned on. Disable the feature that blocks the Java Scripts or ActiveX. Incorrect Date and Time settings on the server, host, or attendee's computer can also cause problems Q9 A9 Can I arrange a tutorial to learn more about using Remote Support 4.x? Yes. Please contact your account manager to schedule a Remote Support tutorial. Page 68 Remote Support FAQ
FAQ/Troubleshooting WEB CONFERENCING FAQ Q1. Why doesn't my client connect and why does the Test Browser fail? A1. The client must be able to use the port that ConnectionPoint is using. This means that the port must be opened in the firewall or proxy server at the client connection. Details from Test Browser will help determine what is wrong. If the Connection to Server is not established, it could be because the port is blocked. Refer to the document Client Troubleshooting Quick Start Guide for more information. Q2. Why does the Test Browser not complete (i.e., hang)? A2. A possible cause is an older version of Java. See question 10 on page 70. Another possibility is Internet explorer settings such as session cookies not being allowed, or more than one Java loading at the same time. Q3. How many colors can the Web Conferencing Viewport transmit? A3. For bandwidth conservation, the default Viewport setting is 65535 (16-bit) colors. The Viewport is also capable of transmitting 8-bit and 24-bit color. 8-bit color will transmit half as much data and 24-bit will transmit two times as much data as the default setting. Changes to the color setting are dynamic and can be made by right-clicking the screen resolution box in the bottom right corner of the Viewport and selecting one of the options under Color Settings. Q4. How can I run a PowerPoint slide show in a non-scrolling window and also have my meeting control window and applications visible? A4. In PowerPoint select Slide Show - Set Up Show. In the Show Type panel, choose Browsed by an individual (window), and then click OK. The slide show will now run in a resizable window. This allows the host and attendees to run their Web Conferencing control windows on the side. Q5. Can I arrange a tutorial to learn more about using Web Conferencing 4? A5. Yes. Please contact your account manager to schedule a Web Conferencing tutorial. Q6. What browsers can Web Conferencing 4.x support? A6. Web Conferencing 4.x supports Internet Explorer version 5.5 and above, and Firefox, or Mozilla. Q7. What is the difference between a private and a public meeting? A7. Public meetings are open to everyone, both registered users and non-registered users. Private meetings are attended by invitation only. Non-registered users must join the meeting using the e-mail invitation or from the list of meetings on their Office page when logged in. Web Conferencing FAQ Page 69
FAQ/Troubleshooting Q8. How can I create a meeting? A8. To create meetings you have to register with the Web Conferencing 4.x server and logon using a valid Web Conferencing user account. Q9. What version of Java does Web Conferencing/Remote Support 4.x support and how do I know what version of Java Virtual Machine I am running? A9. Remote Support supports both Microsoft Java Virtual Machine Version 5.00.3805 and higher as well as Sun Java 1.4x. Details from Test Browser will display the version of Java Virtual Machine currently used by your Internet Browser. To determine the installed version of Microsoft Java Virtual Machine: Open a DOS command window and from a Command Prompt, type jview. The first line of output should display the version number. To determine the installed version of Sun Java: Open Internet Options in the Control Panel or from IE's menu Tools - Internet Options. On the Advanced page the version will be listed under Java (Sun). NOTE: Most of the time, there will be multiple versions of Sun Java installed on the machine. If you are having problems passing the browser test or connecting to the session, confirm all older versions of Sun Java have been removed via Add/Remove Programs. Windows will try to use all available versions of Java if present. Q10. I turned on Voice Chat but no one can hear me (the Host). A10. Test with Microsoft's Sound recorder, if microphone does not work with the sound recorder it will not work in Voice Chat. When Voice Chat is enabled the Volume Control master volume setting is turned up all the way. Use Windows Volume Control to adjust. The Web Conferencing Voice Chat can be used to adjust the Windows Wave sound volume. Make sure the microphone is enabled in the Windows and that Mute is not checked. Web Conferencing attempts to enable the microphone and mutes the microphone playback to the local speakers to avoid feedback. The Web Conferencing Voice Chat can be used to adjust the Windows microphone volume. Q11. My Voice Chat is distorted, what can I do to fix it? A11. Try turning off the Mic Gain (+20dB) in the advanced settings for the microphone. If this still does not work, try updating the sound drivers for your sound card. Q12. Why is my mouse movement slow and/or jerky in the Viewport? A12. A USB mouse can cause the mouse movements to be slow. Changing to a standard serial or PS/2 mouse should resolve the problem. If the mouse performance is both slow and jerky, change the Display: Properties - Settings - Advanced - Performance or Troubleshooting setting to NONE in Hardware Acceleration. Also, Microsoft Java offers faster mouse performance in the Viewport than Sun Java. Page 70 Web Conferencing FAQ
FAQ/Troubleshooting Q13. I occasionally see errors when using the Co-Browse feature. What can I do to resolve these? A13. It is essential to the functionality of Co-Browse for all of the latest updates to be applied for the operating systems and browser. These updates can be obtained from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site. Q14. Why do the session controls load but no Security Certificates display and none of the buttons work, but I am in the meeting and Test Browser passes? A14 The Security Certificate and Java applets that are used need ActiveX controls and Java Scripting enabled. This symptom can be caused by banner advertisement blocking software, which is designed to block pop-up windows from opening. In some cases, you can correct this problem by removing the setting that is disabling the pop-ups. Some Internet Security or Anti-Virus Programs now come with the added feature to stop Java- Script or block ActiveX and this feature is turned on. Disable the feature that blocks JavaScript or ActiveX. Incorrect Date and Time settings on the server, host, or attendee's computer can also cause problems. Q15. Can the chat window be resized? A15. Yes, the chat window can be resized when it is undocked. Right-click with the cursor over the chat text area and choose Undock from the pop-up menu.
