2.6 Recommended USB Headset or Echo Cancelling Speakerphones:

Note: Always use a headset for the best possible audio experience

Logitech USB ClearChat headset series Plantronics USB headsets Plantronics P420 speakerphone ClearOne Chat 50 or Chat 150 speakerphone Phoenix Duet or Solo speakerphone

2.7 Firewall Ports

There are two ways to navigate through a firewall with the Bojabie Desktop client. You can open up the needed ports through the firewall or benefit from the built in Proxy Tunneling feature. For the best results, open up the following ports:

Bojabie Desktop Specific Ports (ports in red are critical):

o

o

o

o

o

TCP Port 80 Web Access to Bojabie Portal

TCP Port 443 Secure Web Access to Bojabie Portal

TCP Port 17992 Client Connection to Bojabie Portal Application Server

TCP Port 17990 Client Connection to Bojabie Multiport Access

UDP 50,000 65,535 Inbound/outbound Media feeds to participants (6 ports per participant)

At this time the Bojabie Portal Opens all UDP ports dynamically based on STUN communication between Client and Server so there is no need to open specific UDP ports on the firewall as long as ports in the above UDP range can be dynamically opened

Some Firewalls have a UDP default time out. For example, on the Cisco PIX Firewall the UDP timeout is 2 min. If this parameter won ’t be changed then the call will drop in exactly 2 minutes and the Bojabie client(s) would have to reconnect.

If you are not able to open up the above firewall ports, Proxy tunneling will be automatically enabled. This allows the client and server to tunnel the media over TCP ports 80 and 443. Please note that tunneling can reduce the overall quality of the Bojabie experience.

8 Using the Bojabie Desktop Client

The Bojabie window first opens to full screen size and in picture in a picture mode. (Picture in a picture mode displays your image as a thumbnail in the lower right corner.) You can resize it and change display modes to create an optimal viewing experience. When the window is smaller, you can drag your mouse over the user ’s video and pan to see a larger area than what ’s displayed in the window. The toolbar across the top of the window features button controls. Some buttons allow you to toggle between actions, and others have drop down arrows beside to offer more options. An introduction to the Bojabie client toolbar buttons follows.

8.1 Layout

A single Video Conference can host up to 50 participants; however, up to 8 remote parties can be displayed at once (last active speakers based on Voice Activity). Each user can control their personal layout, choosing a lower number (overriding the default Auto mode) by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting a number in the 0 8 range (when 0 is selected, none of the participants will be displayed). Clicking on the Layout icon itself changes the screen to Preferred mode, in which the person who is speaking has the largest screen real estate. In Preferred mode, the participant shown in the largest screen changes as the speaker changes. The Preferred mode is also automatically activated when a third party shares an application. You may also stretch and resize the Bojabie Client window to change the size and presentation of the layout.

Note:

In a Direct Call (Point to Point), the range of screens will be 0 1 since only 1 remote site is available.

In a Multipoint call, the maximum number of displayed participants might be lower than 8 (even if there are more than 8 remote participants) in the case in which computer specifications or the available network bandwidth are not sufficient.

The number of displayed screens can total up to 10 if you are using Preview and viewing a document share.

You can display a thumbnail image of yourself in the lower right corner of the screen by clicking the Preview button once. Click a second time to view yourself and the other participant. Click a third time to view only the other participant.

8.2 Full Screen

Clicking on the Full Screen toggles the screen between sizing the window to utilize the entire screen real estate and restoring the window to the previous size. When in Full Screen mode, the toolbar is hidden unless you mouse over the screen. Mac users will see the application maximized.

8.3 Share Screen

Participants can share applications on their computers by clicking the Share button. Clicking the button itself toggles between sharing and stopping the share. Click the drop down arrow to select from the open applications on your local machine to share with other meeting participants. You can also choose to share a complete screen with all open application windows by selecting your display from the share list (Windows only). When you first share an application or screen, the Bojabie Desktop shrinks to enable you to view the shared application. You can resize the Bojabie Desktop, as desired.

You can see the screen with your shared application by clicking the Toggle button next to the Share button and choosing your name from the list. If you choose not to view your shared application, you know you are sharing because the Share icon is green.

When another participant is sharing an application, it will show on the Bojabie Desktop window. When layout is set to Preferred mode, the shared application appears largest.

You may undock the shared screen (i.e., view it as a separate window or on a secondary monitor) and re dock the shared screen (i.e., snap it back into the main Bojabie Desktop window) by double clicking the contents of the application window.

8.4 Toggle

Many participants may share their screens, but you may view only one screen at a time. When shared applications are available from multiple participants, the Toggle button turns green, indicating a share is available. You may toggle between multiple applications using the Toggle button. Click the button to cycle through the available shares.

You see the list of people who share and you can choose the person whose share you want to view. You see your own name on the list as well if you are sharing something. Click the drop down arrow to select a specific share from all available shared applications, including yours. The first option in the drop down is always none. Selecting none means that you will not see any shared applications in the Bojabie Desktop window.

8.5 Self View

You can view your own video feed in “Picture in Picture ” mode by clicking the Self View button. Your feed appears as a thumbnail image in the lower right corner of the screen. Click the Self View button a second time to include yourself in the screen layout. Click the Self View button a third time to remove yourself from the layout and view only the other meeting participant.

8.11 Configuration

The Configuration button turns red when there is an alarm and indicates that your settings need attention. Click the configuration button to configure your Bojabie Desktop, including status, attendees, network, devices, video, options, and about. The following settings are accessible when Not in Conference as well. You may access the configuration settings at any time by right clicking the Bojabie Desktop taskbar iconand choosing Configuration. All changes take place immediately.

8.11.1 Status

This tab indicates if you are in a conference, with whom, and your current bandwidth. It also features a display of any alarms, which may include:

High CPU utilization limits quality of conference – CPU utilization has been elevated for an extended period of time. You should try quitting applications other than the Bojabie Desktop. If the problem persists: o If using a camera with a USB connection, make sure the camera is plugged directly into the computer. o If using a notebook, verify that power management is not set for low CPU performance o Make sure the camera is being used with the latest drivers available for it. o Make sure that your computer meets the minimum or recommended configuration for running the Bojabie Desktop.

8.11.2 Attendees

This tab shows a list of participants in conference.

Note: if you ’re seeing small boxes instead of understandable font, the user ’s name is written in a foreign language font not supported by your machine.

8.11.3 Network

The Proxy tab is used to configure the Bojabie Desktop to operate behind firewalls, NATs and Web proxies that limit traffic to specific ports and protocols – commonly port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS. This tab shows the home server and port used.

Note: The Bojabie Desktop supports basic and NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication. A Proxy address is typically provided by the server if the server is configured to support NAT and firewall traversal. If a Proxy address is available to the Bojabie Desktop, the Bojabie Desktop first tries to connect directly to the server. If that fails, it retries using the Proxy as mediator and traversing the firewall/NAT on specific TCP ports.

INSTALLATION GUIDE BOJABIE DESKTOP

Selecting Always use Proxy forces the Bojabie Desktop client to use the Proxy if one is available. If set and if the Bojabie Desktop finds a Proxy address, it immediately tries to use it without first trying to connect directly.

The Proxy can be used as fallback mechanism in case direct access to the server is not available. By default, the Proxy is used if a direct connection cannot be established. Do not change this setting unless advised by the administrator.

If the server is configured to support NAT and firewall traversal, a Proxy address is provided by the server. To manually set the Proxy address and override the server provided address and port, set the Proxy to Manual and enter the IP address and port number.

If your network requires the traversal of a Web proxy, set the Use Web Proxy option. To access the server through a Web proxy, the Proxy must be used.

You can also select the checkbox for web proxy auto detect, Try connecting through web proxy. This enables the Bojabie Desktop to auto connect to the server through the Web proxy, if necessary. If the Web proxy is not necessary, it is used when setting up the connection to the server. This may be useful for traveling users or users who conference from both office and home.

To use the Web proxy settings configured for the Internet Explorer Web browser on your Windows machine, select the Use Settings from Internet Explorer radio button. On Mac OS X, Web proxy settings are retrieved from your network interface settings. To use these settings, select the Automatic radio button.

If your Web proxy requires a user name and a password, manually enter them in the Username and Password fields. To manually set Web proxy settings, select the Manual radio button and enter your IP address, port, user name, and password settings.

8.12 Disconnect Meeting

This button allows you to disconnect (end) the meeting.
