Using
TZO with Netmeeting
|
| |
There's no doubt that we're biased, but we
believe that TZO offers a great solution for
Netmeeting users. ILS is slow and awkward to use but
with TZO you can connect to someone quickly and
easily and without having to download the entire user
list to get just one name. TZO is an all-around
better solution. |
| |
|
| |
In
the following instructions we assume here that you
have TZO and that it is running. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
When
you call a TZO user, enter the user's TZO Name
instead of the IP Address as we've shown above.
You also can set the CALL USING: to NETWORK TCP/IP
Once you have the TZO Name entered as shown
above, you click the CALL button to
connect to them directly. When you call a TZO
user you use the TZO Name each time you call even
though the IP address has changed. That's one
advantage TZO offers. |
| |
|
| |
Here's how you add a TZO user to Netmeeting's
SpeedDial. Simply click on the TZO name to dial
directly. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
After the
connection has been made, (either by your calling
someone else of someone else calling you) you'll a
screen like the one below. This screen shows that
someone is sending you video. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
After you've added those with whom you want to
have a Netmeeting, you'll see a screen like the one
below. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
Double click
on the TZO name of each person to make the
connection. TZO looks up each of their current IP
address is and sends the Netmeeting call request to
their computer. To receive a call using TZO, make
sure TZO and Netmeeting is running. Start Netmeeting
and wait for your colleague to call you as shown
above. When your colleague wants to call you
via Netmeeting, he or she enters your TZO name
instead of your IP address. |
| |
|
| |
After you've
gotten Netmeeting working, here's how you can
optimize its performance. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
The
first thing is to go to the TOOLS
Menu, and then select PREFERENCES.
Once you get to the Preferences
Dialog box as shown above, you will be looking at the
General Tab as we've shown
above. Let's say, for example, your dog likes
to chew your slippers and you've set up a web camera
connected to your computer. You want to dial into
your computer from time to time and see what your dog
is doing. In that case you'd set the option to
AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPT INCOMING
CALLS as we've done above. You could even
yell at your dog and your voice would come from your
computer's speakers and no, doubt, completely confuse
your dog. |
| |
|
| |
You
can also click on the Calling Tab as
shown below. The LOG ON TO THE
DIRECTORY SERVER should remain UNCHECKED if
you are using TZO names only to connect. This
saves you the time of having to download names from
the ILS servers. This CALLING TAB is also very
useful if you want to change the ILS Servers that you
connect to. |

|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
Netmeeting is
relatively easy software to use once you've made all
the connections. TZO makes it easy to make the
connections |
