Extranet Instructions
/ Access Requirements
Please review the following notes carefully.
Our Extranet is a web-based application that presents search query screens
and results through a simple navigation interface. Once you are issued
a username and password, you will have read-only access to certain records
associated with your client number(s) at Leason Ellis LLP. You can change
your password as often as you like, but we require a case-sensitive,
mixed number-character password for your security.
1. Internet Explorer is required to access the Extranet because it is
written as a .NET application.
2. Short Cut: This short cut is ut useful for navigation within the
Extranet:
'Ctrl' key plus the letter T : lists the open windows you can select
and navigate to
3. If you close your Extranet session, it will close ALL browser windows.
If you have the "Tabs" feature enabled, your parallel sessions will
be protected. Until you are familiar with the Extranet, we suggest that
you conclude other browser-based sessions that you may be conducting.
4. "Pop-up blocker" must be turned-off or the link to our Extranet added
to the allowed sites. The program we use opens several windows including
a search window, results windows, selection window showing the windows
that are open, etc. These windows may be placed in front of one another
obscuring the fact that there are multiple windows, but it is easy to
use and quick to get used to.
STEPS TO ALLOW POP-UPS AT FROM OUR SITE
1. Find the "Tools" tab which is part of the menu bar at the top of
the Internet Explorer browser window. If you do not see the Tools tab,
right-click on a clear area of the top of the browser window and select
the "menu bar" so that it has a "check" next to it.
2. Under the "Tools" tab,
select the menu item "Pop Up Blocker" and then select the submenu item
"Pop Up Blocker Settings"
3. Type or paste the following
link into the "Address of Web site to allow" box:
http://remote.leasonellis.com:70/ipssdotnet2/logon.aspx
4. Then click the "add"
button to the right of the text box.
5. Click close to return
to your Internet Explorer browser window.
5. Disable Google Toolbar and Yahoo Toolbar. These toolbars, and perhaps
others, interfere with the operation of the Extranet and must be deactivated
by following the steps below. Note that many common add-ons such as
Windows Messenger, Windows Live Sign-In, Adobe PDF Reader, Shockwave,
Real.com, Ebay Toolbar and Ebay Toolbar helper, and various Sun Microsystems
add-ons (e.g., Java), can remain enabled.
STEPS TO DISABLE GOOGLE/YAHOO TOOLBAR
1. Under the "Tools" tab
of Internet Explorer, select the menu item "Manage Add Ons" and then
select the submenu item "Enable or Disable Add-Ons"
2. In the pull-down menu,
select "Add Ons Currently Loaded in Internet Explorer" and then click
within the window below that menu.
3. Select the add-on "Google",
having a 'type' "Toolbar" within that window
4. Then, at the lower left,
there is a "Settings" control panel in which you can select the radio-button
"disable."
5. Click OK to return to
your browser window.
6. You will have to close
all Internet Explorer windows and restart.
