INTRODUCTION

Breeze Installation Overview

Macromedia Breeze consists of Breeze Server and its applications: Macromedia Breeze Meeting,

Macromedia Breeze Presenter, Macromedia Breeze Manager, Breeze Events, and Breeze Training.

Depending on the configuration purchased and the terms of your license, you may be installing

one, two, or all of these applications.

Breeze Server Makes it possible to quickly create multimedia presentations that combine

audio and video with slides and graphics.

Breeze Events Lets users manage the full lifecycle of large- or small-scale events, from

registrations, invitations, and reminders, to reporting.

Breeze Manager Lets you create courses, enroll students, and track and monitor students and

courses.

Breeze Meeting Lets you conduct online real-time meetings in which you can show

multimedia presentations and broadcast live audio and video to participants.

6 Introduction: Breeze Installation Overview

Breeze Presenter Lets you rapidly create e-learning content and high-quality multimedia

presentations. Breeze Presenter is a plug-in for Microsoft PowerPoint. Finished presentations are

in Macromedia Flash (SWF file) format and are SCORM and AICC compliant.

Breeze Training Lets you build e-learning systems, with surveys, tracking, analysis, and course

management.

Guide to documentation and additional resources

Macromedia Breeze contains a variety of media to help you quickly learn how to use the Breeze

applications. This section describes the variety of resources available to ensure the successful

deployment of the Breeze applications within your organization.

About the electronic manuals and online help

In addition to this manual, the following electronic manuals and online help systems are

available:

•Breeze Manager User Guide describes how to use the administration, presentation, and meeting

applications of Breeze. You can access Breeze Manager User Guide from the Breeze Manager

Home page, and from the Help link in Breeze Manager.

•Breeze Presenter User Guide describes how to create Breeze presentations from PowerPoint and

publish them to Breeze. You can access this document from the Breeze Manager Home page,

and from the Breeze menu in PowerPoint by selecting Breeze > Help.

•Breeze Meeting User Guide for Hosts and Presenters includes information about using the Breeze

web application to host online real-time meetings. The documentation includes procedures

that demonstrate the simplicity of adding slides, Flash SWF files, images, and live audio and

video to your presentation. You can access Breeze Meeting User Guide from the Breeze Manager

Home page, and from the Help menu within a Breeze meeting room (when you enter as a

Presenter) by selecting Meeting > Help.

•Breeze Meeting User Guide for Participants includes information relevant to users participating

in an online real-time meeting. Breeze Meeting offers meeting participants a variety of options

to make their experience truly participatory, including the ability to send messages and

questions to Presenters and to each other, and the ability to participate through live video and

audio. You can access Breeze Meeting User Guide from the Breeze Manager Home page, and

from the Help menu within a Breeze meeting room (when you enter as a Participant) by

selecting Meeting > Help.

•Breeze Integration Guide includes information necessary to make application programming

interface (API) calls on the Breeze server from your external system, such as a web application.

It also explains how to interpret the XML results that Breeze returns. In addition, the

documentation contains reference material about each API and its parameters.

Note: The relevance of these guides to users depends on the Breeze Server applications that you are

authorized to use, the type of user (such as meeting content manager, information technology

engineer, or course presenter), and the user’s Breeze account permissions.

Guide to documentation and additional resources 7

To help you determine what documentation is relevant to your needs, see the following table:

Information about specialized topics

This manual primarily provides information for a basic installation of Breeze applications in

which no more than one instance of each application is installed on a computer. It also covers the

installation of Breeze applications on multiple networked computers, which is called a cluster.

For information about specialized topics not discussed in this installation manual, visit the

Macromedia Breeze Licensed Support website at www.macromedia.com/go/

breeze_licensed_support.

To access the licensed support website, you will need to have available the Breeze License

Certificate from Macromedia.

The following are among the topics that the website covers:

•Installing and configuring Breeze Edge Servers

•Upgrading from an release earlier than Breeze 4.0

•Port numbers used by Breeze

•Using and managing the embedded database engine

CHAPTER 1

Before You Begin

For a successful installation of Macromedia Breeze, read the information provided in this chapter.

It contains the following sections:

•“Basics of Breeze Server technology” on page 9

•“Planning for bandwidth requirements” on page 11

•“Planning for directory services integration” on page 13

•“Planning for SSL” on page 14

•“Planning for security” on page 15

•“Ports used by Breeze” on page 22

•“Available Breeze configurations” on page 23

•“Planning for a Breeze Server cluster” on page 24

•“Installation requirements” on page 25

•“Additional software requirements” on page 27

•“Breeze user requirements” on page 27

•“The Breeze database” on page 29

Before you start the installation, you should plan how Breeze is to be configured. When you run

the Breeze installer, you will see only those Breeze applications and options purchased by your

organization.

Basics of Breeze Server technology

Breeze Server includes a suite of applications that interact to form a total solution. End users log

in, enroll in courses, view reports, and complete additional basic functions using a web-based

application that runs in a browser. Breeze users can also participate in meetings using any

supported browser. For a list of supported browsers, see “Breeze user requirements” on page 27.

10 Chapter 1: Before You Begin

The web browser interacts primarily with the Breeze Server applications. When a user starts a

meeting, Flash Player interacts primarily with Breeze Meeting, although there is still some

interaction with Breeze Presenter. The following figure illustrates how the server hosting Breeze

interacts with the user’s computer, sometimes called the client.

For two computers to communicate over the Internet, the client computer must have the URL of

the server (computer) where Breeze is installed. Typically, the client uses a domain name such as

www.mycompany.com, and a name server translates the IP address of the server. To send

information to a specific application running on a server, the client must also know the port

number for that application. For example, most web servers listen on port 80. Servers typically

run a few applications, such as a web server, a mail server, and an FTP server, and each application

owns or listens on a specific port.
