SpecheBox Applet Installation (only)

To install the SpecheBox, please read the entire installation document, and then perform each Step in the listed order.  As it is currently written, all code presented in this document must be added to the same web page or frame.

Step 1: Copy the following code and paste it into the body of your web page, at the location where you would like the SpecheBox (text display) to be located.  This code will cause the SpecheBox Applet to be downloaded, initialized, and displayed.  The applet will connect to Speche Communication's Text Broadcast Server at text.speche.com on port 80.

Step 3: After the sucessful SpecheBox installation has been confirmed, we will send you a new EventID for the production event.  This EventID will need to be pasted into the value attribute of the applet's EventID parameter tag, as well as in the Embed tag. Exampled: <Param name="EventID" value="25E9D359-69CB-4A30-A103-D02E0B986042"> and EventID ='25E9D359-69CB-4A30-A103-D02E0B986042'.

General Notes and Information

Loading the applet from our server insures that you always have the newest version of our SpecheBox Applet and that your users are getting the richest set of available features.

It should be noted that the applet that you will be loading is using HTTP to connect from the applet to the Text Server over port 80.  This allows us to connect from the applet to the Text Server, traverse virtually all standards compliant firewalls and proxy servers.
