Guide to connecting with Konversation

New page

= Connecting with Konversation =

This guide will tell you how to connect to our bouncers using the Konversation IRC Client which is available at [https://konversation.kde.org/ https://konversation.kde.org/].

For the purposes of this guide, we have used '''[https://konversation.kde.org/ Konversation v1.7.4]'''

== Configuration ==

Konversation needs to be configured to connect to our bouncer, so to do this we need to bring up the "Server List". If this hasn't appeared automatically when starting mIRC, navigate to "File -> Server List". You should be presented with a window, on this window press the "New" button and you should see something like this:

The options in this window need to be configured/changed as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
! style="font-weight:bold;" | Option
! style="font-weight:bold;" | Description
! style="font-weight:bold;" | Value / Recommended Value
|-
| Network Name
| The name of the server that will be added (Can be anything)
| MyBouncer
|-
| Connect on application startup
| If checked, the client will automatically connect to the bouncer when the client is started
| Checked
|-
| Server
| After pressing "Add" under Servers, this option appears. This should be the server that your account has been added to (i.e apple.bnc4free.com)
| <server>.bnc4free.com
|-
| Port
| After pressing "Add" under Servers, this option appears. This should be Port 1337 for Non-SSL / Port 1339 for SSL
| 1339
|-
| Password
| This must be the username and password you use to authenticate to the bouncer

OR

This must be the username, password and network name you use to authenticate to the bouncer
| MyUsername:MyPassword

OR

MyUsername/Network:MyPassword
|-
| Secure Connection (SSL)
| If this box is checked, SSL will be used for the connection (Port 1339 Only)
| Checked
|}

Once completed, the window should look like this:

Press "OK" on the "Add Server" window and "OK" on the "New Network" window.

== Connecting ==

If you have added the bouncer to the Server List as outlined in the steps above, you will be able to connect to your bouncer from the Server List. If this hasn't shown up automatically when launching the client, use "File -> Server List", you should see a window similar to the below:

Alternatively you can use "Quick Connect" to connect to the bouncer by selecting "File -> Quick Connect" with the following options:

{| class="wikitable"
! style="font-weight:bold;" | Option
! style="font-weight:bold;" | Description
! style="font-weight:bold;" | Value / Recommended Value
|-

The completed window should look a bit like this:
