Quick Start

This section describes the simple and quick procedures you must follow in order to begin using VypressMessenger.

VypressMessenger Main Window

At once to begin using VypressMessenger it is necessary to make only five simple steps.

Step 1 Enter in the bottom window text of the message, which you want to send to one or several of the friends. The text of the message can have the length up to 64 kilobytes and may contain any symbols. While sending your AutoSignature will be automatically added to the text of the message, if you switched on this option.

 
Step 2 Enter in the address line (located on central splitter) or choose from the dropping down list address of the computer, which you want to send the message.
You can also choose group of the addresses from the list, or special group < All Users > (in this case message will be dispatched to all users outside of any groups).
If you want users or groups to appear in the list, it is necessary to enter their addresses in the Address Book.
Besides, you can simply enter some addresses, dividing them by symbol ";" (semicolon).
VypressMessenger uses protocol TCP/IP, therefore you should enter the IP-address of the computer or its name from DNS (if the sense of this phrase is not clear to you, consult your system administrator or more skilled comrades). Besides, in Local Area Networks you can simply write down name of the computer, which you see in "Network Neighborhood".

 
Step 3 Now press the button "Send Message" and your message will be sent.
If everything was made correct and your addressee is on a network in the current moment with VypressMessenger (or compatible program) started, you will see such a window (if, certainly, you have not turn off in Preferences this option):
Message has been send succesfully!
If you have seen such window, it means that your message WAS GUARANTEED delivered to the addressee (or all addresses). Unlike WinPopup, VypressMessenger makes you always know fore sure, whether your message was received.

If you were not lucky and your addresses (or at least one of the several addresses) is not present in the current moment on a network, or they have not started VypressMessenger, or for any reason the message has not reached them - then you will see a window like this:
Host(s) not found!
Thus, the list of the addresses whom your message has not reached will be given in this window. Check up, possibly you simply have written down incorrect address.

 
Step 4 In the top window, you can see the messages, coming to you, from your friends and acquaintances.
You can flexibly operate what messages will be displayed in the top window, using the mechanism of a filtration of the messages and Address Book.

The very first line of the message contains date, time and day of week, when the message was received.
If the man who has sent the message to you uses exactly VypressMessenger, the second line of the message contains the information about from and to whom (to you or group of the persons) message was sent. This line begins with words "Message from", if the message was sent by the man manually, or with "AutoAnswer from", if it is the text of autoanswer.

 
Step 5 At last, you can pass from one message to another and delete the current message with the help of buttons on the toolbar.
