Frequently Asked Questions!
Can I put the login page on my
own website?
YES!
The easiest way to place the login page for your room on any website is
using an IFRAME tag. This HTML tag is intended to place one web page within
another web page and is supported by all modern browsers.
Following is a complete example web page that includes an iNet Communicator room login page (substitute the actual login page for your room):
<html>
<head><title>My Login Page</title></head>
<body topmargin=0 leftmargin=0>
<iframe width=100% height=100% src="http://YourName.ivocalize.net/">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Why do I get a Version Mismatch
error when I try to log in?
You probably need to update your installation of iNet
Communicator. Download the latest from:
http://download.ivocalize.net/iVocalize4Setup.exe
Recorded Presentations: Do I need
Java? Where do I get it?
Java 1.3 or later is required for the playback of recorded presentations.
In addition to having Java installed, the Java Plugin must be enabled in the browser where you attempt to play the recording. This is the default configuration when the latest version of Java is installed.
Windows users experiencing problems playing recorded presentations should update to the latest version of Java by visiting Java.com. Once there, click on "Download Java"
Mac OS X users already have the correct version of Java pre-installed.
How do I prevent unwanted logins to
my room?
Rooms are initially configured with a guest account,
also called a * (any user) account, that allows logins to your room under
any name, with no password. For most customers, this setting is very
effective and represents the fastest way to get up and running.
However, if the login address for your room is published on a website, and attracts unwanted visitors, then security on your room must be strengthened. At minimum, you should assign a password to your guest account and give that password only to invited guests. The highest (and recommended) level of security is to remove all * (any user) accounts, and to create individual user names and passwords for each guest. The Automatic Registration feature, available in your room control panel, was designed to makes this process simple and easy by allowing the room owner to approve or decline each registration request.

What is a JNLP file and why are they
on my desktop?
JNLP is a helper file used by Java Web Start, the Java
application launcher. When you log into a room using the Java version of
iVocalize (on Mac OS X) this helper file is downloaded by your browser. The
JNLP files are saved according to your browser configuration for where it
places downloads. By default, Safari on Mac OS X saves to the desktop. You
may modify your browser configuration to place these files anywhere that you
like.
Once login has been completed, the file launch.jnlp may be deleted from your computer. Alternately, you may leave the launch.jnlp file on your desktop and double-click it to re-enter the room at a later time. Note that changes to the room's configuration may invalidate your launch.jnlp file. To receive an updated launch.jnlp file, simply enter the room normally via the room's login page, and an updated launch file will be downloaded.
Where is the Installation Program?
Installation is either fully or semi-automated,
depending on the platform used to access iVocalize Web Conference.
- Windows users running Internet Explorer with ActiveX enabled will be prompted to allow installation of the "Web Conference Plugin published by iVocalize LLC". On Windows XP SP2 and later, it may be necessary to click "Install ActiveX Control" on the Internet Explorer Info Bar at the top of the browser window.
- Windows users running FireFox or other browsers will be promted to download the installation program when first clicking Login on the login page. Following download, execute the installation program, then log in normally.
- For manual installation, or linking to the installer from your own website, download and run the latest windows client installation program: iVocalize4Setup.exe
- On supported Mac platforms (OS 10.3 and later) installation is automatic through the Java Web Start mechanism. Java Web Start comes pre-installed on the Mac, and it downloads the iVocalize program files when you attempt to log into the server.
- On Linux platforms where Java
Web Start and JRE 1.4.2 or later have been installed, installation of
iVocalize works the same as on the Mac, described above. Although the
software may run on Linux, this is not a supported platform.
During login the application said
"Unable to Connect" -- what now?
Various problems related to firewalls and proxy
servers can interfere with the login process, and most are easily remedied.
Most connection errors display an error code. Code 86 indicates that the room owner has banned you from the conference room. In this case, do not contact support, as we will be unable to assist you. Most other error codes are related to network connectivity issues.
Consult your network administrator and have a look at our Network Troubleshooting Guide for more information on network connectivity issues.
