10 Chapter 1: Before You Begin
The web browser interacts primarily with the Breeze Server applications. When a user starts a
meeting, Flash Player interacts primarily with Breeze Meeting, although there is still some
interaction with Breeze Presenter. The following figure illustrates how the server hosting Breeze
interacts with the user’s computer, sometimes called the client.
For two computers to communicate over the Internet, the client computer must have the URL of
the server (computer) where Breeze is installed. Typically, the client uses a domain name such as
www.mycompany.com, and a name server translates the IP address of the server. To send
information to a specific application running on a server, the client must also know the port
number for that application. For example, most web servers listen on port 80. Servers typically
run a few applications, such as a web server, a mail server, and an FTP server, and each application
owns or listens on a specific port.
