2 Introduction About the System How the System Works With the TANDBERG movi, video conferencing comes to your PC through your Microsoft Internet Explorer. All you need is to download an ActiveX component from the movi server there is no need for additional software. You will be on the air in minutes without compromising your PC s security! Click on link: Received from TMS (TANDBERG Management System) On a corporate portal (not provided by TANDBERG). Your web browser connects to the TANDBERG movi server in the corporate network. System Requirements Microsoft Windows XP SP 2 Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer (IE) Web camera Microphone/Speakers or a headset! The use of ActiveX contrains your browser options. Alas, browsers with no support for ActiveX, such as Mozilla Firefox and Opera cannot be used with the TANDBERG movi. A movi client is downloaded into the browser. The call is set up between the TANDBERG movi and an endpoint, an MPS or another TANDBERG movi client.

3 To Get You Up and Going Enabling Download of ActiveX Getting Started the First Time For security reasons it is very common that your browser is set up to disable download of ActiveX controls. While this is a very sensible thing to do, it is probably safe to enable download of signed components from your local intranet. To do this in Internet Explorer do the following:.. Click Tools > Options > Security > Local Intranet > Custom Level... Set the option for Download ActiveX controls to Prompt. You will now be asked by the browser before it starts downloading a new ActiveX control. Make sure your webcam is connected. See also the lower left side bar. Start your Internet Explorer Enable download of ActiveX see the left side bar. Ask your system administrator for the address to the movi server. You will then receive an URL (IP address) or an alias, which your adminstrator has prepared for you. The URL/alias is to be used whenever you access the system in the future. Enter the address in the address field of the browser and click Enter. The movi web client will open in the browser and the client is ready for use. After a few seconds you should be able to see yourself.! To enable download of ActiveX you may need administrator rights or that your administrator has set your PC up to regard the movi server as a trusted site. Cannot See Yourself? Make sure your webcam is connected. See also the lower left side bar. Start your Internet Explorer Getting Started Everyday Use Enter the URL/alias needed (see above) and click Enter. After a few seconds you should be able to see yourself. If there is a greyish or all black image where you would expect to see yourself (aka selfview), this may be due to: Your webcam is not detected by your PC. Have you plugged the camera and installed the correct drivers? If so, then first check the camera with the software that accompanied the camera (e.g, Logitech QuickCapture). If it fails with other software packages, then it will probably fail with movi also. Another application is currently using the webcamera. A webcam can be used by only one program at a time. Close the other application and refresh the movi client. For some applications you may find the echo cancellation insufficient in this version. Consequently, we recommend the use of headphones.
