Haxial KDX 1.520 Documentation Haxial Software http://www.haxialsoftware.com/ Description KDX is a "BBS"-style (Bulletin Board System) encrypted internet communications system that provides voice chat, text chat, messaging, news, file transfer, trackers etc. It uses strong encryption to protect your communications for security and privacy. It is very useful for groups that need to collaborate on a project via the Internet. KDX uses a client/server basis (NOT peer-to-peer). While KDX works very well over the Internet, it also works very well on a LAN (local area network). KDX does not require an Internet connection, and is thus suitable for use on an internal company LAN, and for home or small business networking. Please note that a glossary appears at the end of this document, so if you encounter any terms that you are unfamiliar with, you can consult the glossary. How do I get started with KDX? Try the following to get you started: (1) Open KDX Client. (2) Click "Connect". (3) Click "Tracker" to change the tick to "Tracker". (4) Where it says "Address", you need to type in the address of a KDX Tracker that you have obtained yourself. (5) Leave the other boxes EMPTY. (6) Click Connect. (7) Wait a moment. (8) When you see "General" in the list, click it. (9) A list of servers appears in the bottom list after a moment. Click one to connect to it. You can repeat this process with a different tracker address to find different servers. The Importance Of Context Menus KDX uses Context Menus extensively. Many commands are “hidden” in Context Menus, so if you do not know how to use the Context Menus, you will miss many commands. A Context Menu is a menu that appears when you second-click on something. The commands in the menu act upon the object that you clicked on, or on the surrounding area in that window. “Second-click” means clicking on something using the other mouse button than you normally use (usually the right mouse button). If your mouse has only 1 button, then hold down the control key while you click to simulate the second button. Haxial KDX Documentation Page 1 of 32 In addition to Context Menus, KDX uses Window Menus. A Window Menu is accessed by clicking the symbol that appears in the title bar of some windows, or alternatively by second-clicking in the title bar. Button Bar Window This is the main/base window in KDX. It is your starting point for many of the commands. Probably the first button that you will want to use is the Connect button, which connects you to a server. Then you can use the other buttons. KDX contains many commands and features, more than can be displayed on the button bar window (only the most commonly used are displayed). To see the full list of commands, connect to a server, and then click the “Commands” butto…
