Now a VMukti server is ready for use as a collaborative conferencing engine with URL: http:///vmukti, where ServerIP is the IP address of the system where VMukti server is installed. Before using it, please read carefully the usage scenarios. VMukti usage scenario: Scenario-1: If VMuktiBootstrap service is started then Server can’t function as a client -Do not browse VMukti URL on server PC -If server pc is on a live IP, then clients can access the VMukti server from anywhere across the globe. And if server pc belongs to a LAN, then clients can access the VMukti server under the same LAN only. -Browse VMukti from other PCs (client’s PCs) with URL: http:///vmukti, where ServerIP is IP of the server where VMukti server is installed snd now start participating in collaborative conference. You can follow user guide for getting detail information about how to use VMukti widgets (modules). Scenario-2: If you want to browse the VMukti URL on VMukti Server (i.e. to function as a client) -Stop the "VMuktiBootstrap" service (Start > Administrative Tools > Services > VMuktiBootstrap). -You must browse VMukti URL on server PC, if do not browse then other clients won’t be able to browse the http:///vmukti and can’t communicate with each other. -If server pc is on a live IP, then clients can access the VMukti server from anywhere across the globe. And if server pc belongs to a LAN, then clients can access the VMukti server under the same LAN only. 40 | P a g e -Browse VMukti from other PCs (client’s PCs) with URL: http:///vmukti , where ServerIP is IP of the server where VMukti server is installed. Start participating in collaborative conference. You can follow the user guide for getting detail information about how to use VMukti widgets (modules).
