Setup - Installation

« Firewall Friendliness | Main | Ease of Access »

eBLVD installs a small special software module on the PC that will be used as the Host machine (that is the one that will show its contents to the others). The installation is simple and straightforward and there are no options to choose from.

Technologically, eBLVD is a hybrid-ASP hosted service, composed of three components:

a) Meeting Host: As mentioned above a 500 KB applet is installed on the meeting HOST PC. During the initial registration, the applet registers
and authenticates itself with eBLVD's secure ‘RELAY’ service. The applet is networkaware and does not at any time require manual adjustment or intervention.

b) Remote Participant(s) (browser plug-in): Remote users are ‘invited’ to attend an event by the Meeting Host. The invitation can come in the form of either an email link or a temporary username and password that permits ‘admission’ to the meeting. In either case, the action launches a browser to eBLVD's secure Web site, which automatically loads a tiny plug-in into the browser. When the participant clicks on the "attend" button, the client sends an SSL- encrypted request to the RELAY.

c) Relay: The eBLVD ‘matchmaker’ service that listens for connect requests and maps them to scheduled meetings on HOST PCs. When a match occurs, the RELAY determines the least-cost and safest connection route. The RELAY then connects each remote participant to the meeting host in the most efficient manner.
