Features List
-
No Server Required: Simply run the program and you'll be
communicating with your co-workers immediately. You don't need a
dedicated server or an administrator to run Akeni LAN+.
-
Easy setup: You don't need administrator privileges to install or
run the program under Windows 2000 and Windows XP. If the computer can
access the Internet, then it is already setup and ready to go; there is also
no need to install any extra network protocols such as printer and file
sharing.
-
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.
-
Increased Productivity: By design, the system does not allow users
to talk to people outside of the LAN. 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.
-
Customizable Exit Message: Create your own informative away and exit
(offline) status messages.
- Network Security: The program runs inside the company LAN, so only
people who are inside the firewall will have access to the system.
The system cannot be spammed from the outside. The data does not leave the
LAN so it cannot be snooped by outsiders.

Advanced Features
-
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 from
you.
-
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
conference sessions
into one tabbed window.
-
Message Logging: All activities are logged to HTML files
so that they can be browsed later using your favorite browser.
-
Offline Notification: You can send out notification even to
users who are not currently online. They will receive the notification as
soon as they sign on to the system.
-
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.
- 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.
- Cross Platform: Available for both Microsoft Windows and Linux.
All versions of the software inter-operates seamlessly, making this a good
solution for heterogeneous computer environments.
