Mobile Web Conferencing Solution

I have happily been using Connect for about a year now as a desktop to desktop solution and love how flexible it is in terms of layout and how simple it is to get people started with it. We do not host it ourselves
Ok, so now we have a groudswell of staff wanting to use it for more things, most interestingly to stream some presentations or mini lectures where some students can't be physically present, but the rest are in a lecture room.
Using a Logitech Conference Cam and a laptop, we tried to capture what was going on in the room, and also uploaded the Powerpoint and clicked through it to match what the lecturer was doing.
The results were ok-ish - but how could I make this better? The sound wasn't excellent, as the mic was too weak for the size of room and the lecturer liked to move around a lot.
We have the budget to buy some stuff - a mobile trolley, a decent webcam, a better mic, well powered PC.
Can anyone suggest how I could upgrade the experience?

There are not silly questions, as you don't get answers unless you ask.
The lavalier mic (http://www.amazon.com/Shure-PG14-Wireless-Lavalier-System/dp/B000QSQY60/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8 &qid=1345048083&sr=8-5&keywords=sure+lavalier) is a wireless mic that would have a battery pack that clips to a belt or pocket and a mic that would clip to a shirt or tie. Then there would be a receiver that would plug into the mic input of the computer, and it would be recognized as an audio input to the sound card.
If you were going to use multiple mics, you could use a sound board to mix the audio before sending it to the broadcasting computer. This would allow you to have the audio come back into the room and into the computer for broadcasting. However, if you are just trying to get the audio to be broadcast out, you could have a second mic hooked up to a second computer and that would be your audience mic.
Does that make sense?

Creating mobile web dynpro application which customized theme

Hi guys,
I have created a mobile web dynpro application and a theme with Theme Editor. Then I have appended this theme with the sap-cssurl parameter to my application.
<b>my_application? sap-cssurl=http://host:port/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tcwddispwda/global/SSR/themes/MyTheme</b>
It works well in my first testing on my laptop.
In order to test it on my mobile device I have also appended sap-wd-client parameter to my application. Now my URL looks like
<b>my_application? sap-cssurl=http://host:port/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tcwddispwda/global/SSR/themes/MyTheme&sap-wd-client=PieClient</b>
It doesnt work. My application layout looks as if I dont use the theme. Did somebody have the same problem and can help me by finding a solution.
Thanks for your answers.
Marita

Hi Marita,
Mobile Web Dynpro supports several handheld mobile devices. I guess yours is a Pocket PC. Except the newest Pocket PC 2003, all the other versions don't have CSS support. Therefore the current Pocket PC client "PieClient" of Web Dynpro lacks the ability for customized themes. On the other hand, themes are supported for more advanced devices, such as Nokia Communicator 9500/9300.

Emulators for testing mobile web dynpro

I am developing mobile web dynpro applications and need emulators to run them. Can anyone suggest the URLs to download the emulators (Pocket PC, BlackBerry, and Nokia series 80). As I do not have the real device to test the applications, I need the emulators badly to test the applications.

Hi Kishore,
sorry i am not using BlackBerry,only Windows mobile.
There i only have to enter the URL of the WD-Application into the Device Browser of the simulator.
I noticed from this threads that Vikram has the same problem as you.

Yahoo! Web-based email forces me to mobile-web version

First of all, I have a business Yahoo account under my own domain name. Second, the Mail app in my iPhone simply doesn't work. Don't ask me why. I wish I knew. That's for another post.
SO: I had been happily logging onto Yahoo via Safari and checking my business email there. Until now. Like many other iPhone users, I'm now running into several websites that FORCE me to use mobile web versions. Thanks a lot. I understand that you can switch that off in Google. You CANNOT in Yahoo. The problem is, when I log onto Yahoo mail thru safari, it sends me to my @yahoo.com account. In the REAL version of Yahoo, I can click mydomainname.com to switch over to my business account. In the mobile web version, I cannot. There is only my @yahoo.com account, and nothing else. Well, ok, there is a link that says "Check other email", but that just sends you to an error page. Awesome.
I disabled JavaScript. This did nothing.
Any other ideas? I've tried everything.
I can't check email at work, and my iPhone Mail doesn't work, and now Safari doesn't work for my email either. Why should I have an iPhone at all? My old cell phone did just as good a job at not retrieving my email. (By the way, don't bother with saying something like "Oh, it's not Apple's fault!" I don't CARE whose fault it is, I just want to be able to access my email.)

Simple solution. Open Safari on your apple. Go to your business Yahoo account page. Save your business Yahoo account page on the bookmarks bar on Safari. Plug your iphone into your apple. When you open up itunes with iphone, go to info and select sync Safari bookmarks. After your done with sync, eject ipod, go to book marks on your iphone, and your new business Yahoo account bookmark will be there. Click it and you will not see the mobile web version of business Yahoo account anymore.

Web conferencing and proxy

Hi,
is there an option to define a proxy while using beehive web conferencing? I don't see this option in the conferencing.cfg.
Thanks,
Stephane.

Well, I am still right in what I'm saying :) : the question has not been labelled "external attendees access" or "is HTTPS tunneling available" !
If you are ready to use a DMZ instance and open some ports, you don't need a proxy to open your web conference server to people on the internet. That's a usage of web conferencing that makes sense.
And more that that, and this is my opinion, considering HTTPS is the
universal solution for network security is a mistake. it's a door open
to anything that's encrypted, and people consider it's safe because of
that. Some engineers invented protocols to make sure that the trafic is
properly identifed, the "all in HTTPS" paradigm is just a denial of
common sense in security ...
Of course, HTTPS tunneling is still a useful option, but not the best IMHO.

Lync 2010 : Using same FQDN and IP address for SIP access Edge, Web Conferencing Edge, A/V Edge

Hi Friends,
Please assist on below query.
Will it possible to use the same FQDN in Lync Edge? Since it has different Port numbers for each service, one public IP for all FQDN for access will save me purchasing multiple Certificates for SANs
FQDN
IP Address
Port
Map to
Sip.domain.com
12.34.34.34
5061 (TLS)
SIP Access Edge
Sip.domain.com
12.34.34.34
444(TLS
Web Conferencing Edge
Sip.domain.com
12.34.34.34
443(TCP
A/V Edge
I have a wildcard SSL purchased already and for this purpose I need to purchase more certificates per SAN if unique FQDN required.
Thank You.

Yes, although a wildcard entry only will not work entirely for all Lync clients and versions.
I would suggest something like this:
Edge External
CN: sip.domain.com
SAN: sip.domain.com, webconf.domain.com
Reverse Proxy Listener(s)
CN: lyncwebexternal.domain.com
SAN: lyncwebexternal.domain.com, *.domain.com
The wilcard entrty can replace the SimpleURLs (meet, dialin) but some clients (like any Lync Phone Edition devices prior to the June 2012 firmware) do not support wildcard entries so providing the external web services FQDN is required. also never
put the wildcard etry in the Common Name as devices/client that do not support wildcard entries may be tripped up there and then never even look at the SAN field.
A cheaper alternative (although not typically recommended, this does work) would be to use a single certificate for both servers, like this:
Edge/RP Combo Cert
CN: sip.domain.com
SAN: sip.domain.com, webconf.domain.com, lyncwebexternal.domain.com, *.domain.com

Web Conferencing Compatibility service not installed on Lync 2013

Hi I recently deployed Lync 2013 and have moved a handful of users. I’ve noticed that the Web Conferencing Compatibility service is not listed in my list of services. I have enabled
Web Conferencing in the Topology; the Web conferencing service itself is there. I can telnet to port 8057 but obviously not to 8058. Without this I’m guessing users on Lync 2010 cannot connect to a web conference hosted on the new pool (once simple URLs are
updated to point to the new Front-End). Can anyone advise why it may not have been installed and a suggest a solution; maybe it could be rectified by re-running the Lync Server Components install from the Deployment Wizard?
Thanks.

Hi shoc86,
Most of the problems are removed by updating the software so first i recommend you to update the app. even
after that the problem is not resolved u can contact the Microsoft Customer Care

Web conferencing issues, thanks

Hi,
I don't know how many of you have done a web conferencing system using JMF. I'm currently working on it but I have addressed some problems. I'd like to hear your suggestions.
The system uses C/S structure and the client uses WebStart. I tried the RTP solutions provided by Sun but I think they are more suitable for P2P.
1. For the video transmission, I capture the camera every 0.5 minute and save to JPEG photos. Then the photos are uploaded to the server. All the other member clients in the conference room download the photos and restore them into a movie. But in this solution there is time delay. Any better ones?
2. For the audio transmission, I have no idea how to do it...
3. Is it better to use a streaming server? I mean, what is the normal architecture for this kind of system? I've installed Darwin Streaming Server but I can't find a way to communicate with it via JMF. If there are some existing solutions, can you please give me the links or sample code?
4. I find that it looks like flash is more popular is this area. Is it possible to use flash in my Java client side? I read the document of Red5 but looks like the client is mainly web page.
Sorry I know I have too many questions here. I have done the research for almost two weeks but still get blocked. So I hope you can help me out here. Thanks in advance!
Alex in Sweden

The system uses C/S structure and the client uses WebStart. I tried the RTP solutions provided by Sun but I think they are more suitable for P2P.You can certainly use RTP for a client-to-server application. It's suitable for any kind of transport.
1. For the video transmission, I capture the camera every 0.5 minute and save to JPEG photos. Then the photos are uploaded to the server. All the other member clients in the conference room download the photos and restore them into a movie. But in this solution there is time delay. Any better ones?You stream the video via RTP to a server, and that server uses the incoming stream as the source for outgoing streams to all of the participants of the video conference...
2. For the audio transmission, I have no idea how to do it...My proposal for #1 handles audio as well.
3. Is it better to use a streaming server? I mean, what is the normal architecture for this kind of system? I've installed Darwin Streaming Server but I can't find a way to communicate with it via JMF. If there are some existing solutions, can you please give me the links or sample code?You do need a streaming server, but you can easily write your own for this application. It's what I like to call a "bounce server" because it just bounces the stream to whoever wants to see it.
4. I find that it looks like flash is more popular is this area. Is it possible to use flash in my Java client side? I read the document of Red5 but looks like the client is mainly web page.Ummmm, no. Red5 is a good freeware Flash Media Server that's capable of doing this video conference application. Adobe Flex is a free API you can use to develope desktop applications or web applications (and thus you would have a Flash-based application that would be running outside of a web browser, transmitting the A/V to the Red5/Flash Media server)

Why do I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502) when I try to open Mobile Web?

I have an LG Octane 3 basic phone.   Does everything I need, phone and text, and I never was interested in web or e-mail capabilities until I recently upgraded our plan to the "More Everything" and was able to use data and check e-mail and access the internet.   Whenever I try to open Mobile Web, I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502)".    As of March 31, 2015, all of us basic phone users lose the "Mobile Email" app on our phones, and will have to access web versions of our e-mail via the web. Which is currently unavailable and doesn't work.
Over a week ago, did a chat session with a tech support rep, and she indicated that either she or an engineer would contact me with how to fix the problem.   Have not heard anything from anybody, and the deadline is approaching quickly.   Have no need of all the excess features of a smart phone, nor do I wish to be forced to jettison a perfectly working phone for my needs and buy something I don't want to be able to do 2 simple things.............check e-mail to see if there's something that needs to be answered right away, and to check traffic reports when I'm on the road, or find something in an area with which I'm not familiar.     Not really too much to ask, you would think....   )
Has anyone else had this same problem, and if so, how do we fix it....??? My next move is a phone call, but those haven't always been very productive.
If any of you have any ideas why this error keeps coming up and the web can't load, and some on how to fix it, I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.
Karen

Since the chat session got no reply, I contacted Verizon by phone and a very nice level 2 tech created a trouble ticket and sent it up the food chain. Got a call back, maybe 2 days later, and had a nice, although very long session with a higher level tech. They had determined that the browser for the LG Octane is an old one and no longer supported by Verizon.    We tried everything we could to download the Opera browser, but since I was totally unable to get Mobile Web to work, couldn't do it.   The only other possible "fix" was to totally reset the phone to factory specs and try it again.   That would mean a lot of work on my part to move anything I didn't want to disappear off the phone, and find a place to forward texts that had to be saved.   Caught our tenants lying about why the rent was late (again), and need that for when I put them back on a lease....
Long story short is that unless we try this total reset, which isn't a sure fix, either, anyone who isn't able to access the Mobile Web with the LG Octane will have to change their plan to avoid paying for data that you can't access using any method.
I ran a test with an app that I knew was no longer valid.....that was sending photos to PixPlace.   Got the exact same error message as when trying to access Mobile Web to get the web version of my e-mail.   That just verified that the 502 error is, at least in the LG Octane, for an app that no longer works.   After today, we'll get the same thing when we try to access Mobile E-Mail.
Have to admit, it's a real ****-off, but this shouldn't surprise me, since Verizon won't repair older copper phone lines if you are in an area where FIOS is offered.
I am going to immediately change my husband's and my cell phone plan to one without data, and see what I can find that will still give unlimited calls and text. The way my luck runs, they won't offer one for a decent price. The other half has some very long-winded friends and he was always running over minutes, and some months are very text-heavy and I'd go over my limit.   Absolutely HATE touch screens, and am not looking forward to having to get a new phone.

Cisco Web Caching Solution

Hi There,
I need a high availability web caching solution for 500 users, preferential with proxy funcionality.
Cisco had the Cisco Web Caching Engine, but it is End-of-Sales already. The new product that will replace the EOS product, is Wide Area Application Engine (WAE) plataforms. Is that right?
The Cisco Global Price List has a SKU product SE512-IPROXY-K9 (Security / iProxy WAE-512 bundle, 1GB MEM, 1 250GB HDD Incl.).
The question are:
The SKU product SE512-IPROXY-K9 is the right product for my needs?
What is the difference between the SKU SE512-IPROXY-K9 and the SKU WAE-512-K9?
Regards,
Pedro Vasques

Hi Pedro,
The WAE product line does WAN Optimization which includes HTTP optimization. The WAN Optimization solution works between two WAEs (one being at a Branch office and the other being at Data Center ). When employees at branch office tries to access resources like Servers at Data Center their TCP based traffic gets optimized. For more info pl go to http://www.cisco.com/go/waas
Cisco's Web Caching was a different solution. It caches the web objects when first user goes to a given web site. The following user requests will be served locally as long as cache history is available for that web page.
I suggest you contact either a Cisco partner or Cisco representative in your area.
thanks

If you find anything out please share. I have flash projects (SWF) files created in Captivate 5 that play fine in Flash and Dreamweaver, but freeze up on the web in safari, firefox, opera and chrome. Even files that used to play just fine. This upgrade has been a nightmare - I have spent hours troubleshooting to no avail. It does not seem to be a problem for windows users - only macs.

Application doesn't update in web conferencing

I tried to share a graphics application, ProductView, in Web Conferencing. It worked at first, but the graphics portion does not update at the shared sites.
This product probably uses Open/GL to display its graphics. Is there a limitation in Web Conferencing application sharing?
David

The problem was I forgot to include one of the .jar files in the .jnlp file. The application started but immediately finished because it couldn�t find the second jar. Java console has the same behavior and this is why I couldn�t see the message in the console.
Thank you anyway!
