Introducing See&Share™ Software
Admin Tools
The server software also includes an Admin Tools application. You can
use the Admin Tools to configure the servers and monitor their
performance, manage your See&Share software licenses, and change a
variety of options that control passwords, sharing, remote control and
more.
Server Clusters
See&Share software is scalable. A Master Server installation
automatically includes a Conference server, and both are necessary on
the Master Server. However, if you create a server cluster by adding more
servers, each additional server needs only a Conference Server. The
Master Server will balance the load of conferences and traffic across the
cluster of Conference Servers.
—1—
Before you can add Conference Servers to a cluster, you must assign a
clustering authentication password on the Master Server (page 9). You’ll
need this password each time you install an additional server.

Installing the Server Software
—3—
Managing Software Licenses
During the 30-day free evaluation period, the server allows five concurrent
user connections. After 30 days, the evaluation version expires and users
can no longer conduct conferences on your server.
To use See&Share software for more than 30 days, place an order before
the evaluation period expires. Contact your TANDBERG dealer for
information about ordering the server software and concurrent user
licenses.
When you activate a server, it allows five concurrent user connections.
To allow more users, you must acquire more user licenses. Any participant
can use any one of the licenses, as licenses are not assigned to individual
users.
NOTE: If you need assistance while you activate the server license,
contact your TANDBERG dealer.
—4—
6. If the Status column of the Licenses table indicates that the server
software license hasn’t been activated, right-click the Server Software
row and select Activate.
The dialog box that appears allows you to choose between retrying the
automatic activation and entering the activation key manually. If you
choose to activate the license manually, select Manually Activate, and
then follow the on-screen prompts.
—5—
Viewing Status Information
The Admin Tools let you view the status information for See&Share
software, including active conferences, server performance and server
usage. To view the status information for all the See&Share software
servers, open the Admin Tools on the Master Server.
—7—
Configuring Other Servers from the Master Server
You can use the Admin Tools to set client access and server access
passwords, create a message of the day, and enable remote control.
Although these settings are automatically implemented on all your
See&Share software servers, you must configure them using the Admin
Tools on the Master Server.
You can also use the Master Server’s Admin Tools to change the
server setup.
—8—
Assigning Conference Creation Passwords
Conference creation passwords are optional. Assign this type of password
if you want users to enter a password before they create a conference.
You can assign as many conference creation passwords as you need.
To assign conference creation passwords
1. Start the See&Share Software Admin Tools on the server that’s
running the Master Server program.
2. In the See&Share Software Administration Tools window, click the
Security tab.
3. Under Client Access Passwords, select the Conference Creation
Password check box.
4. Enter the password(s) you want, using a semicolon to separate multiple
passwords.
NOTE: To revoke a password, simply remove it from the list.
5. Click the Apply button.
Remember to communicate a password to everyone who is authorized to
create a conference.
—9—
Assigning an API Authentication Password
The API authentication password is required only for OEMs using the
Application Programming Interface.
To assign an API authentication password
1. Start the See&Share Software Admin Tools on the server that’s
running the Master Server program.
2. In the See&Share Software Administration Tools window, click the
Security tab.
3. Under Server Access Passwords, select the API Authorization
Password check box.
4. Enter a password.
NOTE: To revoke the password, clear the box.
5. Click the Apply button.
Remember to give this password to the users of the third-party systems
that will be integrated with See&Share software.
— 10 —
To add a message of the day
1. Start the See&Share Software Admin Tools on the server that’s
running the Master Server program.
2. In the See&Share Software Administration Tools window, click the
Options tab.
3. Select the Display Message of the Day check box.
4. Enter the message that users will see when they start the client each
day (up to 256 characters).
5. Click the Apply button.
— 11 —
5. Change the Listening Port of the Master Server, if required.
By default, the Master Server uses port 80 as the listening port. If your
server is running an application other than See&Share software on port
80, you must assign See&Share software to a different port.
NOTE: To connect to a server, users will need to add the new port
number to the server name. For example, to connect to a server on port
8080, users enter server.company.com:8080 as the server name.
6. Click the Apply button.
NOTE: The changes do not take effect until you stop and restart the
services.
— 12 —
Configuring Additional Conference Servers
You can use the Admin Tools on a Conference Server to change the setup
of that server and its clustering authentication password. However, you
must use the Admin Tools on the Master Server to change the conference
creation password, conference viewing password, API authorization
password, remote control setting and message of the
day (page 8).
— 13 —
5. Change the Conference Server’s Listening Port, if required.
By default, the Conference Server uses port 80 as the listening port. If
your server is running an application other than See&Share software on
port 80, you must assign See&Share software to a different port.
NOTE: To connect to a server, users will need to add the new port
number to the server name. For example, to connect to a server on port
8080, users enter server.company.com:8080 as the server name.
6. Click the Apply button.
NOTE: The changes do not take effect until you stop and restart the
services.
— 14 —
Managing Servers and Conferences
With the Admin Tools, you can place servers on hold or reactivate them,
and you can end conferences.
Ending a Conference
This feature is particularly useful when you want to free licenses being
used by participants who forgot to close the client after their conference.
— 15 —
To end a conference
1. Start the See&Share Software Admin Tools on the server that’s
running the Master Server program.
2. In the See&Share Software Administration Tools window, click the
Conferences tab.
3. Click the conference that you want to end.
4. Click the End Conference button at the bottom of the window.
A confirmation message appears and the conference ends. The
participants receive a message that tells them the conference has
ended.
NOTE: Although you can view a list of the active conferences from any
server in the cluster, you must use the Admin Tools on the Master Server
to end a conference.

Appendix A: Communication Security Overview
Certificates
A certificate is a digitally signed document that serves to validate the
sender’s authorization. See&Share software generates a new 168-bit SSL
certificate each time the server starts.
— 18 —
Appendix B: Distributing the Client Software
When you’ve set up the See&Share software servers, the client software is
available for download from: http://server.company.com (where
server.company.com is the See&Share software server you’ve created).
By default, visitors to this address see a Web page with basic instructions
and a link for installing See&Share software.

Appendix C: Frequently Asked Questions
— 20 —
Q. How can I remove See&Share software from one server so I can install
it on another?
A. Just uninstall See&Share software on the server you no longer need,
install it on the new server, and reactivate the server licenses and user
packs.
Q. A user is having a problem. How can I log system events to a text file?
A. Instruct the user who’s experiencing the problem to restart the client
and then type LOG in the Server Name box before clicking the Connect
button. As long as the user remains connected to the server, any
system events related to that server will be recorded in a text file called
See&Share_Log.txt, which See&Share software saves in the client
computer’s root directory.
Q. Can I customize the Web page that appears when users type the
server name into their Web browser?
A. Yes. Just create an HTML page called CustomPage.htm (with
appropriately linked images), and copy it to the server application
directory See page 20 for further details.
