CommuniGate Pro 4.3 SIP and Windows Menssenger

These instructions were written for test users who have accounts on the server partners.communigate.com.

The steps required to use your partners.communigate.com account with Windows messenger are:

1. Get and install Windows Messenger 5.1 from Microsoft  (not the same software as .NET or MSN Messenger)
2. Configure Windows Messenger to use the SIP service of partners.stalker.com
3. Connect and login to partners.stalker.com with SIP using Windows Messenger
4. Add your instant messaging contacts to your list with Windows Messenger
5. Use the Windows Messenger Audio Tuning Wizard to configure your microphone, speakers and webcam device

The Microsoft SIP client can be found with a search for "Windows Messenger" at http://microsoft.com. The version I used to write these instructions is 5.1.0639. It is possible that this software is already installed on your Windows PC. When not configured, the icon appears in the system tray with a red circle and white 'x' symbol.

   

You can open windows messenger by double-clicking this icon.



Configure Messenger

Windows Messenger's SIp configuration is fairly easy. You will need this data to configure the :

User Name
Password
Server

With the Messenger Window open, open the Tools -> Options configuration.


Select the Accounts tab and activate the SIP option. You can use the other services if you have accounts for Exchange or .NET/MSN. If you do not have accounts for those services I recommend deactivating those options. Select the SIP option and add your_user_name@partners.stalker.com for the Sign-in name:



Select the Advanced Button and configure mail.stalker.com as the servidor y then click the OK button:



Click OK again and then click on 'Click here to sign in' to connect to the server.
