iP Server Quick Start.
The iP personal server, shown above, displays status info and has a minimal amount of features in its interface.
All server functions are accessed from within the iP client using its System Admin window, and room editor.
When the iP server first starts up it creates an Owner level user with the name: Owner and the password: welcome.
With your server running, run your iP client and connect to it using the Connect Window's Addess box:
Enter LocalHost as the address and 9998 and 9999 as the ports and click Connect.
Once you are at your iP server click the icon over the log that looks like a cop 
so you can sign on as a staff user.
Enter Owner for the name, and welcome for the password and click sign on.
You will see a notice in your log saying you have been made an Owner. If you do not see the notice after a few moments,
try again, but beware on the 3rd failed attempt to sign on as a staf user you will be automatically banned.
If you fail on the 2nd attempt to sign on close the iP client and restart it and come back in to try again.
The name and password are case sensitive and must be entered as "Owner" and "welcome".
Once you are an Owner you can click the wrench icon on the log window 
to open the System Admin window.
Click the Settings button 
to open the server setup...
To configure the server, enter a name for your chat, then a domain name or your IP address, and two port #s,
which MUST be different than each other. "Server Port" is the primary communications port, "M Server Port"
is the port which clients will intermitantly connect to to request media from the server over.
Usually you will leave the ports set to their default settings of 9998 and 9999.
If "Auto Detect Ip Address" is checked the server gets your ip address at startup and set the server address to it.
"Act As A Dir Server" tells the server to act as an iP directory, you should not normally check this.
"Picture URL" is a url to a 198x132 jpg that would advertize your server in the iP directory.
"Desc URL" is a url to a plain text file that describes your server for the iP directory.
The rest of the settings you can leave set to their default settings for now or maybe forever.
So you will want to click SAVE to save the settings to the server.
note: If you changed the server's ports then saving will disconnect you, and you will need to reconnect.
Once you have saved the settings, you will want to immediately edit the server's staff users.
To do this click on the Staff button 
at the top of the System Admin window.
When you click on users in the user list on the left, they are moved over to the user editor on the right.
To add staff, click the + button, enter a name, password, security level, and a note if you would like.
The staff name need not match the user name they are using. Click the + again to add another Staff member.
You can also use the arrows in the editor to move through users. To save them to the server click "SAVE".
"REFRESH" in any of the system admin panels will reload the info from the server. Usually you will not need to do that.
