Setting Up a Jabber
Client
1.
The first
step is to download a Jabber client.
Here is a list of clients we have tested for Windows and where they can
be found:
Exodus
- http://www.jabberstudio.org/projects/exodus/releases/
Rhymbox
- http://www.rhymbox.com/download/
I recommend using Rhymbox it has the
most refined interface. Additional
clients can be found at www.jabber.org.
2.
The next
step is to log onto a server.
Currently there are two servers, surfaris.cs.nps.navy.mil inside the
firewall and xchat.movesinstitute.org outside. Service is not available across the
firewall at this time. So users
using Jabber outside the firewall can not be contacted from inside and vise
versa.
Here are the settings for an account
inside the firewall (For outside substitute surfaris.cs.nps.navy.mil with
xchat.movesinstitute.org):
(Filling out additional information
is optional and can be done at a later time.)
Here is some additional information
if you wish to create a separate profile:
Profile
Create a Username: (Your
choice)
Server: surfaris.cs.nps.navy.mil or
xchat.movesinstitute.org
Password: (Your choice – must have
one)
Connection
Type: Normal
Host: surfaris.cs.nps.navy.mil or
xchat.movesinstitute.org
Port: 5222
3.
The next
step is to join a conference room.
Currently the rooms inside and outside the firewall will have the same
name but not the same content. To
join a conference room click on “find a conference room” then “join room” the
room names are “savage” and “xj3d” (This process will be slightly different for
different clients). The JID’s
(Jabber ID’s) are:
savage@conference.surfaris.cs.nps.navy.mil
xj3d@conference.surfaris.cs.nps.navy.mil
savage@conference.xchat.movesinstitute.org
xj3d@conference.xchat.movesinstitute.org
4.
To
contact an individual enter their JID:
username@surfaris.cs.nps.navy.mil
