The User Profile
A key part of setting up Visual Nexus on your computer is setting up your user profile. This information is used when you log in to tell the system who you are. When you run the Visual Nexus software for the first time you will be asked to fill in your user profile information. The information you use will have been provided by your administrator. A typical user profile is shown below.
The Fields in the profile contain the following data:
- ProfileName - the name the profile is known by in the meeting manager
- LoginName - Your Login name provided for you by your administrator
- Password - Your personal password for Visual Nexus
- MeetingServer - the IP address or URL of your Visual Nexus server
- Port - The IP port the server is located on, usually 8080
- NetworkAdapter - the network card in your computer you wish to use, normally either a wireless or Lan adapter.
- Bandwidth - the maximum speed you can connect at
Once you have entered all the information you can click save to create the profile. PLease note that to save or update a profile you must confirm your password by entering it twice.
Automatic or Manual Login
You will notice in the profile window a check box asking if this is to be the Default profile. If you check this box before saving the profile, then when ever you run Visual Nexus it will automatically log you into the service. This is perfect if you only ever use a single profile, but you may prefer to use manual login if you use several different profiles. To login to another profile simply double click on the gray profile icon or the profile name.
