Cisco Webex Connect IM, sohbet protokolü olarak Jabber kullanıyor, bu nedenle Pidgin (veya herhangi bir Jabber istemcisi) onunla çalışabilmelidir. Pidgin'de bir Webex Connect hesabını şu şekilde yapılandırabilirsiniz:
XMPP protocol
Basic tab
Username: first part of your Webex username before the @domain
Domain: the part of your webex username after the @ sign.
Resource: blank
Password: your Webex IM password
Local alias: whatever you want to show up for you locally in
the chat window when you send messages, such as your
username, instead of the lengthy Jabber ID string
Advanced tab
Connect port: 5222
Connect server: c2s.<your domain>.webexconnect.com
Jabber (ve tabii ki Pidgin) konferans / sohbet odası desteğine sahiptir ve Webex Connect de özel bir konferans sunucusu üzerinden:
Buddies menu: Join a chat
Account: choose the XMPP Webex account
Room name: whatever you want, or a known existing one
Server: conference.isj1.webex.com (should already be filled in)
Handle: whatever username you want
Inviting people once in the room:
Conversation menu: Invite
Buddy: enter their email address. Should show a list of matching names to select and invite.
