Register

This chapter is about registering a new Jabber account, if you already have one skip to the next section.
To use Jeti you need an account on a Jabber server, you can select a server from http://www.jabber.org/network The best is to use a server close to where you're located. You Jabber ID will be "your login name"@"the jabber server" so you can also choose a server with a name you like. (Be sure to check if the server you choose supports the transport to AIM/ICQ/MSN/Yahoo if you want to use one of those)

To register to the server you choose start Jeti and go to "Jeti" -> "Account" -> "Login" Press the "New" button in the Login window and fill in the account details, press the "Register" button in the next window (named "New Profile Window"). Type the name of the server in the popup window and press "OK". Jeti will now contact the server and show an register window for the chosen server, Fill in this screen according to the instructions at the top of the screen (Username will be your new login name and contact name, password is a new password to login on the Jabber server)

To Login go to the login window by "Jeti" -> "Account" -> "Login". Press the "New" button to make a new login profile. Profile name is just a name that will be shown in the login window to select between different login profiles. If you type your password in the password field Jeti will save your password so you don't have to type it to login, leave the field blank if you don't want to store your password (recommended on public PCs). The resource field is used to make multiple logins possible (you can login multiple times on the same account with a different resource). If you want to login on different locations you can name it work and home so people can see where you are. The port is the port of the jabber server usually 5222 or 5223 for SSL. The "Use SSL" checkbox is to enable secure communications to the jabber server (Do not forget to change the portnumber to 5223). If "Hide Status Window" is checked the login status window will not show up.

The Proxy part of the "New Profile Window" is to configure a SOCKS 4/5 proxy if you cannot connect directly to the internet.

Press the "OK" button to save the new profile info. If you only want to connect to this profile once you can use "Don't save" this will only remember this profile as long as Jeti is active, it will not be saved to disk..

Transports

To connect to MSN, AIM, ICQ or Yahoo you have to register with a transport.
You can do this in jeti by "Jeti" -> "Account" -> "Manage Services". You can select which service you want to register in the appearing "Manage Services" window. follow the instructions on the next screen to register with the service. If the service allows the automatic import of users, a lot of popup windows will popup asking if you would like to add the person to your contact list and how to call them. You can press OK on the popup windows if you want to change the name later on (The contacts will be added with there addresses as names)

If you don't see any transports, it's possible that the server does't provide any transports. Change the server in the Server textbox (Servers lists: http://www.jabber.org/network for which server supports which transports).
