Workstation Preparation & New User Getting Started Guide
Page 4 of 51
2. Introduction & Overview
This document provides instructions to optimize a user’s local workstation, ensuring optimal readiness
before logging in to E-CollabCenter. Once logged in, you will find a selection of training courses to take
you from beginner to advanced proficiency in all collaborative service functions.
Now that you have IBM® Lotus® Sametime® 7.5.1 FIPS, you can use your computer to communicate
with your colleagues and conduct online meetings. Meetings can be broadcast (the audience only
watches and listens) or interactive (participants work together using tools like screen and microphone
sharing).
Before you use Sametime, there are steps you should take to ensure that your work station meets the
minimal software and hardware requirements, and is optimally configured for Sametime. The purpose of
this guide is to take you through those steps.
For any issues which may go beyond the steps in this guide, please contact the DISA Help Desk:
