Administering the Web Client 

The Web Client is designed to act as a supplement to the audio conference.  Once a conference that is 
booked with web support selected has become active, the Web Client is accessible via a web-based 
GUI.   

The system administrator may be relied upon to make files accessible for uploading onto the Web Client. 
 There are several points to keep in mind when administering the uploading of files: 

• 

All files uploaded to the Web Client must first be converted to HTML.  Thus, some formats and 
features available on the original file could be altered. 

• 

All files to be uploaded must be published to the Conferencing Center's website or a website that 
is on the same domain as the Web Client PC. A 

virtual directory for publishing these HTML files

 

needs to be set up.  

• 

The URL for accessing these HTML files must be made available to the conference host for use 
during the conference.   

• 

Depending on how much space is available on the web server machine, extremely large files 
may be an issue.
