Messenger provides quick real-time communication with one or more colleges. Novell Messenger can be used on mobiles devices and computers.
Messenger is pre-installed onto your LAS staff computer. When you log in to your computer, Messenger will auto-launch and prompt you for your login. (First time you will need to say YES to the certificate question if asked). Once you save your login credentials, it will auto-launch in the background.
If for whatever reason you do not have Messenger installed onto your staff computer, you can install it from your Staff Applications, INSTALLERS folder.
For mobile devices, go to your devices respective app store and search for “Novell Messenger”. (On my Android it was called GroupWise Messenger) After installed and opened, enter your normal network login and password.
When setting up the app, the server and the port are on separate lines. For this occurrence, the server = m.lowellschools.com and the port is 8300. If on one line, enter → https://m.lowellschools.com:8300 .
