Mesh APs 1522 b/g channel issue

Hi,
We have deployed a Mesh network using 1522 APs. Everythings works fine for the A radio, but not for the B/G radio too.
We have configured the b/g radios to automatically select their channel, (Global mode), using channels 1,6,11 through DCA. All the APs
select to use the same channel (11), although they are approximately close one to the other (100m). Transmit power is in Global mode also.
When we reboot the APs, they select to use channel 13 and transmit power level 1 in Custom mode.
Can somebody explain why this is happening? Is this some kind of default bahaviour?
Please advise.

Hi,
We have an outdoor wireless installation coming up for a public park using 1522. Can you please share the RAP to MAP distances used in your deployment ? For 802.11b/g, will a client to AP distance of 100m give good performance ? will the clients be able to communicate properly at such distances ? Also what approach did you chose to divide the outdoor area and decide on RAP and MAP placements ? Appreciate any suggestions from your experiences.
regards
Joe

Can Local Mode Cisco Mesh APs (1522/1552) be supported in a Multiple country code 5508 WLC?

I've read previous discussions (i.e., "wlc 5508 multiple country codes + mesh ap") on this forum that stated Mesh APs can't be supported on a WLC set-up with more than one country code configured. If you have Outdoor APs which are set-up for local mode only, and not used in a Mesh wireless architecture (using Mesh Beacons), will this apply as well? I don't know if there are any caveats to this. Or if Cisco 1522/1552 APs can't be supported on a WLC using more than one country code period, regardless for how they are used, since they are considered Mesh APs. Another question, can a WLC support two regions (Region E and Region A), in a two country code assignment? I've read on the forum the downfalls for using more than one country code on a WLC, so understand that it will use the lowest common denominator settings (i.e., power, channels) for operation, so this isn't ideal.
I want to stick to one controller using one country code only. This isn't something I want to do, but we had an issue with an order being processed for APs, which resulted in the wrong region APs being delivered by a vendor, and leadership is exploring alternative options. So, the above is worst case scenario planning if we can't swap the APs back for some legal reason, or if it takes too long to accomplish. We could always purchase a smaller WLC with a license size to support only the different region APs purchased if it comes to it.

Hi,
As per my experience, Normal APs(Local Mode) can work with multiple Country Code .
WLC can support multiple country code but it's a bad idea to have it. Only common channel, power will allowed.
Best is to buy a 2504WLC and use it.

Controllers for 1252 and 1522 mesh APs

We are doing a site survey for wireless infrastructure. Redundnat controller implementations is what we are looking at. We were informed about using 2 controllers for redundancy but now during site survey, it has been informed that a different version of code is required to support 1252 and 1522 mesh APs. That essentially mean that if we have a mix of these two types of APs, two controllers each (four total) will be required. That seems to be too many controllers to support even if it is a small site requiring few 1252 and 1522 APs. Any particular reason that a controller running a particular version of code can not support both types of APs?
Thanks

psshergill -
I'm going to make an honest attempt at answering your question. While I'm an Engineer by trade, I would assume from a business group standpoint that Cisco has different teams managing the code and hardware required to support MESH and non-MESH APs. While there is code that will support indoor and outdoor APs simultaneously, the 1252 is Cisco's newest and most advanced AP yet. For this reason, I would think that the differences in code required to support it on a controller are different enough that a common code platform simply has not been written yet. That isn't to say that it isn't being worked on, and may possibly be delivered some time in the 5.0 code train. To summarize, you've got to understand the different paces at which the teams responsible for each code train are moving, and they simply haven't converged yet.

AP 1242 WGB may be associate with mesh LAP 1522 in 5Ghz?

Hi,
It is possible to associate AP 1242 configured as WGB to mesh LAP 1522 in 5Ghz band?
Thanks.

Thanks Elliot.
I want to convert AP1242 to LAP1242 and then to mesh but i need enterprise wireless mesh licence on WLC.
If i have enterprise wireless mesh licence i want to know if this scenario is functional ?
In this scenario i want to transport 2 Vlans over mesh wireless (one of the MAP is LAP1242) network.
It 's possible?
WLC ------- Switch (Vlan10,Vlan20 ) ------- RAP (1522, 5Ghz, Ethernet Bridge ) ------- MAP (1522, 5Ghz, Ethernet Bridge) -------- MAP (1242, 5Ghz, Ethernet Bridge) -------Switch (Vlan10,Vlan20)

Canvas all white but export works - channel issue?

Hi There,
I have a weird preview issue where the canvas is completely blank. If I do a RAM preview I see the animation in the little window but still get a blank white screen when I play.
However, I can export the full movie and play it in Quicktime no problems. At first I thought it was the Channel Selector menu but it's set to "Color" - and I've tried everything in the menu.
It looks to be some sort of channel issue to me as the media previews are either all white or I can see alpha previews in red.
Any suggestions would be most welcome - obviously I tripped a preview mode?
Cheers
Ben

Sorry, got tied up with some other work but have just tried to start a new project and the same thing - all white?
Here is a link to a brand new test file: http://files.me.com/ben.sciascia/ap5qom
Note: I trashed the Motion prefs before creating this file - basically every file I edit and create is almost all white. It might also take a few seconds for it to turn white.
For the life of me I can't think what the heck is going on - it looks like a weird blend mode to me.

X99 SLI plus and Quad Channel issues

Hey guys. I just managed to get some time to throw together my new rig, and am experiencing a very frustrating problem.
I bought the ms9 x99 SLI plus, 4x4 gigs of G.Skill ripjaws 2666 ram, and a 5820k.
I initially put it all together, and it wouldn't post. After a process of elimination I discovered it would post with 12gb of RAM in slots 1,5, and 7. But as soon as I add one to 3, it's hooped. It also won't boot with 1,3,5, or 1,3. It will boot with 1,7, just 1, just 7 etc.
I've browsed the forum and found that this problem with these exact parts has arisen in the past, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. I also took a look at the CPU socket and didn't see any bent pins.
I installed windows fine, it runs fine, installed drivers etc (and its hella fast), but I do need that additional RAM for work. I'm planning on updating the BIOS tonight, and I tried clearing the CMOS early on.
Also I know its not the RAM as it boots with each stick by themselves. It seems to be a Quad channel issue, or a DIMM3 issue.
Any information is greatly appreciated. It's a super sexy board and I'd hate to have to dismantle, send it back, etc. I'm going to Hawaii in a week and was hoping to have all this working.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately you will have to. There is no magic and this is obviously hardware issue, whether it's the board or CPU.
Start with inspecting CPU socket pins. You will need a magnifying glass or you can take clear macro pictures of the socket.
Best do it on a bench outside the case, any non-conductive surface will do, wood table, cardboard etc. don't use antistatic bag.
Be very careful when mounting/unmounting the CPU, do not touch socket pins and CPU contacts with your fingers.

Mesh APs losing connectivity

Hi All
I have inherited some support responsibilities for a wireless network that includes some mesh elements.
To me it looks to be porrly implemented but that's another issue.
There are a total of 48 RAPs with 48 MAPs. It looks like the intention was that each MAP would have it's own neighbour RAP.
The initial reported issue was that coverage from some of the MAPs was poor and the client was rebooting the MAP which resolved the issue for a while.
Investigating I found that a number of MAPs were dropping off the system and rebooting.
I then found that the majority of the RAPs did not have downlink access enabled - the state was unknown.
I rebooted the RAPs and they all came back up with downlink access enabled.
All the MAPs came up OK and appeared to be stable.
I am concerned that most of the RAPs are on the same 5GHz channel and have stated that this needs to be changed.
I've also noted that the BGN has been left at 'default' which is probably not good practise.
The mesh network is not stable and the RAPs are dropping the MAPs again.
The WLC code is 7.0.220.0
Anyone come across this type of issue?
It looks to be such a simple design that it should just work.
Regards
Roger

Hi Scott
Its a support customer we've taken on for our colleagues in Spain.
Its a very simple indoor design.
Its basically 8 floors of a building with 6 corridors on each floor.
Each corridor has a RAP and a MAP about 10m apart (I know!).
There are 48 RAPs in total and theoretically they'd all have 1 child MAP associated.
However, of the 48 RAPs only about 6 were working properly because on the others the downlink status was 'unknown'.
As a consequence, those MAPs that were working were associated to distant RAPs on other floors.
The problem is that the system just isn't stable and the RAPs are having to be rebooted to bring up the downlinks again and enable the MAPs to associate.
I don't know if its the co-channel interference or the power levels that are causing the issues.
Is the lack of a BGN likely to cause issues? Its currently using 'default'.
Regards
Roger

Illustrator CS4, new Pantone color books, color channel issue

Since I installed the new Pantone color books, I've been running in a major issue which will affect our whole production line.
If an Illustrator CS4 file contains a Photoshop CS4 image which is using an "old" Pantone color in a color channel, it cannot be opened and I get an error message "File is unreadable". If I replace the "old" Pantone colour with its new equivalent in the color channel in Photoshop, the file can be opened normally.
In our work environment, this means going through all our images to check which one is using a color channel. A painful and time wasting procedure. Furthermore, if one of our suppliers doesn't have the new color books, they won't be able to open any of the files, both Photoshop and Illustrator, so they have no way to revert back to the old Pantone.
Is there another way to fix this?
Thank you

More on the Pantone PLUS saga, hoping to get some input from the users of this forum. I find their silence deafening, to say the least. This is a serious issue, that will cost our agency hours and hours of work if it isn't addressed. And we've already wasted hours of troubleshooting and discussions on how we could resolve it.
We're actually testing a workaround: using both the old and the new libraries in Illustrator. After consulting our suppliers, we've learned that this is what they also do. For them, it's a one shot to get the file to print. For us, it means cheating with files that will get edited again in the future. And the Pantone installer removes the old Pantone books from the Adobe folders for a reason which is mentioned on the download page:
The reason that the PANTONE Color Libraries that had been built into Illustrator need to be removed and replaced with the PANTONE PLUS Color Libraries is that, in Illustrator, a PANTONE Color can only have one data point with which it is associated. In the short term, in order to benefit from the new colors and data associated in PLUS, the PANTONE Libraries that are installed with Adobe Illustrator are removed and replaced with the new PLUS Libraries.
http://www.pantone.com/pages/Pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20721&ca=1
I worry this may lead to another bunch of issue, knowing how easily AI files get corrupted. What I need to know is:
What is the exact meaning of the Pantone warning about the "one data point per color?
What are the long term implications of using both Pantone libraries in an Adobe file? Or in the Adobe app?

SAP PI 7.31 / Sender SOAP Channel Issue with XML tag Main/@versionMajor has incorrect value 000; expected value is 003

Hi PI Experts,
We are on SAP PI 7.31 SP 10.
We are in the process of integrating ARIBA P2P solution using SOAP Adapter as sender to connect Ariba with our PI system.
We have configured all required components in ESR and ID(Most of them are content provided by Ariba).When we try to post a message into PI using SOAP UI we are ending with below error.

http://<host name> : <port name> /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel= <party name> : <service name> : <channel name>
For the above issue we had configured SOAP Sender channel as above,and the URL we are using to hit PI is as above screenshot.
We have followed the note on this topic with out any luck.
1378872
We are not sure where is problem.As the issue is not reaching to PI not able to see the messages in SXMB_MONI.
and in the SXMB_ADM PI has been configured as Integration Server.
I had even tried to change the message protocol as XI3.0 in SOAP sender channel and noluck.
I have tried to ximessage=true query also in URL and noticed that not working.This is clear that the message we are trying to send from Ariba is not compatible with XI3.0 protocol,Ariba is not having any option to change at their end as it is a cloud application and many customers have been using same with out any issues.
We have tried maintain the Java System properties in NWA as XPI.Adapter.Version.Major = 3 but no luck.
Can some one provide us the solution to get rid of this issue?

Sender file channel issue

Hello All,
Here I have a problem with sender file communication channel. THe channel is not able to pick a file as the file format is not correct andf throwing exception in the channel which is expected. But Its not allowing to go and pick the other files with correct format till I remove the bad file from the Source dir location.
How to get out of this issue Pls help me
Regards,
Moorthy

Hi,
Maybe you can delete or archive the erroneus file and then all the other files are processed?
Set checkbox Archive Faulty Source Files and give directory where the erroneus files are moved.
Also under module tab add new row int the Processing Sequence table like this:
AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean ............. 1
And in under Module Configuration:
Module Key ........ Parameter Name ...........................Parameter value
1 ......................... Transform.PermanentErrors .........true
If this won't help, please check the No[Note 1265534 - Archive faulty files does not work with add time stamp mode|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1265534]. Basically this means that archiving does not work if you have set the 'Add timestamp' option so check that too.

Hi Yadav,

3. File Locking / Incomplete Processing
Q: I sometimes observe that files are processed only partially, i.e., only a fragment from the file's start is converted into an XI message. Nevertheless, the file is usually archived completely. Does the File Sender Adapter honor if another process has locked a file for exclusive use?
A: Unfortunately, the J2EE 1.3 technology the File Adapter is built upon does not support file locking. This limitation affects the File Adapter's operation. Depending on whether the JRE implementation for the operating system under which the adapter runs uses mandatory file locking or advisory file locking, opening a file that is currently being written to by another process will fail or not.
If opening the file fails, no problem exists and the adapter will try to open the file each poll interval until it succeeds.
However, if opening the file is not prevented by the operating system, the adapter starts to process the file although it is still being modified. Since XI 3.0 SP11 / PI 7.0 there is a parameter named "Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check" in the advanced settings of the File Sender channel configuration to work around this issue. This setting causes the File Adapter to wait a certain time after reading, but before sending a file to the Adapter Engine. If the file has been modified (which is basically determined by comparing the size of the read data with the currentfile size of the input file) after the configured interval has elapsed, the adapter aborts the processing of the file and tries to process the file again after the retry interval has elapsed.
If this option is not available for the settings you would like to use, the following algorithm (to be implemented in your application) may be used to ensure that the File Adapter only processes completely written files:
- Create the file using an extension, which does not get processed by the File Adapter, e.g., ".tmp"
- Write the file content
- Rename the file to its final name, so the File Adapter will notice its existence and pick it up

JMS channel issue

Hi
My XI system is set-up with alerts frame-work and we are able to raise almost all the system generated alerts. But we are facing one issue with JMS channel alerts. Lets me explain the problem.
We have a JMS channel connected to JMS Server and we are publishing the messages on JMS queue. When JMS server is down, the channel status is not turning into red and it is staying in gree only. If we see the messages in adapter engine (through message monitoring) they are in delivering mode and they are not going into system error state. So either of the things are not triggering any system alerts. So are there any parameters that we can set-up in JMS channel or somewhere so that when JMS server is down, we can raise the system alerts ?? We are using the EMS server for hosting the JMS queues.
thanks
kumar

Hi Moorthy
yes! as you said, my main problem is..... channel is not turning into red, eventhough my JMS server is down and there by not able to raise the alert in either of the two cases. (Adapter Engine based standard alerts or CCMS Alerts). Is there any option to set through which when jms server is down, channel will become red ??
thanks
kumar

Alpha channel issues

Greetings,
I'm trying to create a lower third using a still image that I created from a video clip using Quicktime Conversions. I then import it into FCP, drag it to a sequence and then add livetype text to it. In the preview mode on my main sequence when played is fine, but when I render it the alpha channel disappears and a black background replaces my video with the lower third material still there. What happened to my alpha channel? Is there a problem or a bug in FCP 5.1.1? I'm bewildered.
Thanks,
Jordan

Editmojo,
I exported just the text from Livetype. I'm trying to create a customized lower third, but everytime I render the lower third nested sequence after I have added it to the main sequence a black background takes over with the lower third media there. Ordinarily, when you follow the instructions that I did it automatically keys over the video behind it.What happened? I did not have this problem with FCP 4.5. Is there an issued with FCP 5.1? I just spoke to a tech at Digital Juice regarding the use of their animations and he said that there was an issue with FCP 5.1 when it came to alpha channels. Is that the case? Would the update solve the problem?
Thanks,
Jordan

RFC Sender Channel Issue : STFC_CONNECTION

Hi All,
There has been an issue with the RFC sender channels. When SAP triggers the data, we see an error in the RFC sender channel as below
Error in processing caused by: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: senderAgreement not found: lookup of binding via CPA-cache failed for AdapterType RFC, AdapterNS http://sap.com/xi/XI/System, direction INBOUND, fromParty '', fromService '<ServiceName>', toParty '', toService '', interface 'STFC_CONNECTION', NS 'urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions' for channel '<ChannelName>' (channelId 7f84f67e7efe39949dc12a2f569236fb)
But the data gets processed at the very next moment.
Program ID used in the channel is same as the ID registered in SAP. Is there some configuration missing either at SAP PI or SAP R/3 system?
Regards,
Prajeet

Hi Prajeet,
please refer this wiki [link |https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/RFC+Faqs?showChildren=false]Q19,hope this helps.
Check if you are using the same program ID in multiple scenarios. May be if you keep different the program ID names in different RFC adapters, it should resolve the error.
