Example OpenFire Setup for SynergyNet 3.1

These are the instruction for setting up an OpenFire service for use on a server which 4 student tables (distinguished with colours), a teacher console and a projector connect to.

After installing OpenFire (if running SynergyNet across several devices only one needs OpenFire – this is the server) go to: http://127.0.0.1:9090 on the server machine.

If you are using an instance of Openfire with an embedded database and wish to use the example set up; you can copy the contents of the embedded-db archive to ...path/to/Openfire/embedded-db for a quick setup.

Login here (the default username/password is admin/admin for OpenFire) and set up users and groups as follows:

Users

Create a user for each device:

• red
• blue
• green
• yellow
• teacherconsole
• projector1

Groups

These identify what kind of device each user is:

• multiplicitydevices * This should contain all users who are part of the SynergyNet network;

  • red, blue, green, yellow, teacherconsole and projector1 * This group should have Enable contact list group sharing selected with the contact list group name of multiplicitydevices. * Ensure Share group with additional users is ticked and select All users below.

• tables * This refers to non-teacher, non-projector devices;
