Launching Verizon Access New Jersey's Elluminate Live!
The Elluminate Live! eLearning and Web Conferencing solution
is launched when a user clicks on a link in an Internet browser
(Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) or email. Clicking the link downloads a
small Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) file containing the information necessary
to connect to an Elluminate Live! session. Java Web Start launches, reads the information in
the JNLP file, ensures that the proper Java Resource (JAR) files are in place, and makes the
connection to the Elluminate Live! server.
Java Web Start detects the proxy settings used by the default
Internet browser on the connecting system, and uses the same settings during the connection process. Java Web Start supports most proxy configuration scripts and can detect proxy settings in
most environments. If Java Web Start cannot detect the proxy settings, it will prompt to
specify them. In this case it will be necessary to manually configure Java Web
Start’s proxy settings in order to launch Elluminate Live!. Java Web Start will also prompt for username and password should it encounter an authenticating proxy.
Addresses, Ports and Protocols
If a user is attempting connection to a session running one of the
Verizon Access New Jersey Elluminate Live! servers, it will be made to
one of the following servers:
IP Addresses 151.198.52.4 and 151.198.52.5
Enabling access to both of these IP addresses listed will reduce the
impact of any configuration changes that Elluminate might make.
Elluminate Live! connects on one of two ports 2187 or 80 for
unencrypted sessions; when session encryption is used, port 443 is
also used. We need to establish a connection on one of these two ports. Once this connection has been made it will remain
open and transfer all communication which is a proprietary protocol called the
Collaborative Communication Framework (CCF), which is layered on a TCP transport protocol.
Firewall and web content filters must allow the download of both JNLP
files (or content types) and JAVA application archive (JAR) files. The desktop client system must
be configured to allow the download, installation, and execution of JAVA network applications.
In addition, the end user must have these permission.
Please Note:
- Only authorized clients may connect to an Elluminate Live! Server
- The connection is always initiated from the client
- After connecting, only the Elluminate Live! server will send
data to the client
- Your computers personal Firewall may need to be set to allow an
Elluminate session (or be turned off).
- Use our
"Test Session" listed on the Public session
page
from the same location you are planning to connect to your
session from. This will be the same server you will be using for
your scheduled session. Join or schedule a session on the Verizon
Access New Jersey Elluminate Live servers here.
Security
 The
Verizon Access New Jersey Elluminate Live! servers are configured
for maximum security using SSL (installed Verisign
Certificates using "https"). This means the login and management
activity is all SSL encrypted (so all authentication is secure), just
like when you use online banking. In addition, the conference sessions
(meetings) themselves are also encrypted.
When in a Session on the Verizon Access New Jersey Elluminate
Live! servers you will notice the "lock" icon is closed on the lower
left portion of the Elluminate UI (see image).
