How to Join a Web Conference or Access a Remote Desktop:

 

Before You Connect:

2.       If you want to validate whether the abovementioned conditions are met you can test by going to your Cirrata Home Page (i.e. www.yourcompany.com)

a.       At the bottom of the page check to see if the Cirrata Copyright line is in a green font (this means Port 22 is open). If it is in red font then port 22 is closed.

b.       Underneath the Cirrata Copyright line your version of Java will be displayed. If you do not have Java installed there will be no display and the Cirrata Copyright line will be in black font.
