Features List
-
No Network Setup: The system uses IP multicasting so that the client can find the server automatically. This means that one can move the server to a different machine without having to reconfigure the clients.
-
Firewall Friendly:
All communication, including file transfers, is done through the server,
so it works every time, even across personal firewalls.
-
Encryption:
All communication, including file transfer, is done through an 128-bit
encrypted channel to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the data.
-
Authentification:
Access to the system are done using a zero-knowledge protocol that
authentificates both the server and the client.
-
No Internet Connection Required: Unlike public IM systems, the
program only requires a LAN (Local Area Network) to function. You can
continue communicating with your co-worker even if your company's Internet
connection is interrupted. Access to the system by external users is
still possible through corporate VPN, or by configuring the server firewall
to accept external connections.
-
Increased Productivity: By design, the system does not allow users
to talk to people outside of the system. This will decrease the amount of time
people spend talking to outsiders on non-work related issues using public IM
systems.
-
Feature Rich: Real-time chat, private text conferencing sessions,
online presence management, file transfer, emergency alerts/notifications,
message logs, powerful rich-text editor, typing indicator.
-
Familiar User Interface: If you are familiar with public IM systems
like AOL Instant Messenger or MSN Messenger, then
you will be using our products like a pro in no time.
-
Contact List Query: Users can query for people to add to their
contact list by searching for their real names.
- Customization: Almost all aspect of the program can be
changed and tailor to suit your work habits. For example, all the
toolbars are fully customizable to maximize your productivity.

(offline) status messages.

Advanced Features
-
Message Auditing: All messages can be logged by the server for auditing purposes.
-
Message Logging: All activities are logged to HTML files
so that they can be browsed later using your favorite browser.
-
Easy Account Creation:
New users can be created and then added into everyone's buddy list automatically, thus allowing new users to access the system immediately.
-
Secured Defaults: Unlike public IM systems, our system is designed
from the ground up with security in mind. There are no "unsafe" ways to run
the program. Only people on the contact list can send/receive messages,
thus eliminating all spams.
-
Auto Administration Mode: The Server can be run in auto
administration mode where new users can register themselves, thus requiring
little maintance once the server is up and running. This mode is off
by default but can be turned on if the system is being run in a
trusted environment inside the firewall.
-
Remote User Administration: The Server can be administered remotely
via any running client by login into the admin account.
-
Tabbed Window: For users that have many simultaneous conversations
and don't want dozens of chat windows open. Akeni provides an option to
place all the chat and conference sessions into one tabbed window.
-
Simple Yet Powerful File Transfer: The simplest way to
transfer files between two computers (even between Linux and Windows).
Simply select the person you want to send the file to and choose "Send
File". No need to setup FTP servers, figuring out ports, etc. The program
supports the sending of arbitrary large files, resume of interrupted
transfers, automatic transfer of multiple files, etc.
-
Extensive Drag & Drop Support: Most operations are available via
drag and drop. Drag a file from your desktop and drop it on top of the
recipient's name to start a file transfer. Drag the names of co-workers and
drop them in a conference window to invite them to a conference, etc.
-
Cross Platform: Both the server and the client software are
available for Microsoft Windows and Linux. All version of the software
inter-operates seamlessly, making the Pro Edition a good solution for
heterogeneous computer environments.
