How to ban a user

When you open the index page, check the "Ban Enable" box and start the chat. This will enable the moderator functions in the chat room. After entering the chat as a moderator, you'll see a button which looks like a black gun. To ensure that it's the ban button, point your mouse pointer on this button to see the button's help message in the help bar.

When you want to ban a user, select the user from users list then press the ban button. A window will open asking you for your moderator password. If you enter it correctly the user will be banned from chat system. Note that the user's IP address will be banned and this user can't login to the chat from that IP again till you make him/her free.

How to change chat server's main port number 

The chat system uses the 8100 port number by default. We recommend not to change this default port number but if you must, do consider the following facts:

• Changing the port number of server : 
  • In Linux : Change default port number by editing "/usr/glassroom/bin/glassroom.sh", or where glassroom is installed.
  • In Windows : Unfortunately it's hard to change default port number in Windows.  If you must change the default port number you must edit Windows registry file by "Regedit" utility and run service directly from control panel.
• Changing the port number of chat applet : You can do this by adding a parameter tag to your applet like this :    

        <param name=servlet_port value="3333" >

• Changing the port number of administration HTML files : Edit all files in "manage" subdirectory of client files and change the 8100 number to your desired port number.

Glassroom uses two other ports : voice port and direct port. You can change them by using the Glassroom control panel in the admin area.
