  • WDS Set up - Help Needed! Airport Extreme with one Relay and one remote

    Hi Guys,
    I need a bit of help. I am feeling quite stupid and frustrated. I am having some difficulty with setting up a WDS network with:
    Base station: Airport extreme (current version)
    Relay: Airport Express (current version)
    Remote: Airport Express (current version)
    I start by cold resetting the three units. The Base station is connected via Ethernet. The setup I wish to get going is a simple base - relay - remote.
    I go through the utility manager and set up the base station, first as "create a wireless network" enter the ISP details etc etc. Its green light. Everything is fine. Then manually configure the Base Station. Hold down option key hit Participate in a WDS. I then select main enter + and add the Mac Id's for the intended Relay unit and Remote Unit (12 character and numeric string). At this stage I am only adding the intended Relay unit and Remote units MAC number.
    Question 1: Do I need to add the base unit's MAC number itself under: WDS Remotes? even I am setting it up as Main?
    I am careful to note the security settings and the the Wireless Network name to match these in the relay and remote set up. Under the Wireless tab I leave the Radio Mode: as Automatic (802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n). I make sure the base has "allow this network to be extended" ticked. Under Radio Channel selection I edit it to reference channel 1 for 2.4Ghz (5 Ghz leave as Auto). I am careful when setting up the Relay and remote to match the Radio Channel. (Although I tired many channels as I thought maybe interference was a factor and denying the fact its obviously my set up skills as a factor).
    Question 2: Do you need to disable Guest networks? I would think it does not matter as I have tired turning it off and has not made any difference.
    Under Access Control I leave as default, Not enabled.
    Next I hit update and and error message comes up. WDS Error as it can not find other units. Ok fine as the relay and remote are not yet set up. So I ignore and can get to the stage where the base unit is working and green light with an internet connection.
    I then proceed to set up the Relay unit. Doing the same steps as above with a couple of differences being I add the MAC numbers and select the WDS Mode (Relay for Relay and Remote for Remote. I add the Main base station (i.e Airpot Extreme MAC No.) when prompted and then + the Remotes MAC number. The same for the Remote except I only need to add the base station's main no.
    Question 3. Do I need to add the Relay's own MAC number to its own setup? This seems doubtful as with the base station but tired with and without for good measure with no success.
    The 2.4Ghz channels are all set to 1. Radio mode set to Auto. Although even when I try to manually set them to all identical it doesn't seem t help.
    Then the problems begin. The base unit is Green and the Relay and Remote say they are not connected to the internet. I assume since I have not seen a WDS Error message then the units are set up correctly or as I ignored it on the base unit. But when click unignore the error seems to work itself out.
    Question 4. I need help to understand why I have no internet. The remote / relay says something about no IP number and I don't really understand what I should do? Do I need to go back the Airport Utility Manager and start messing about with the TCP/IP, DHCP, NAT ? The base is set up PPPoE and the relay and remote are set to Bridge.
    It is really puzzling me why the relay and remote flash amber with error messages related to the IP number? I have tried turning off the base station and router and then on again but no joy.
    Can anyone please enlighten me or give me a few ideas? I am doing something very obviously stupid and I guess the fix is something simple that I have overlooked.
    I did spend the time and go through the threads and search online, So I am not trying to waste anyone's time I referenced the two links to get a second opinion:
    http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/03/taming-an-airport-express-wds.html
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/settingup_an_airport_relay_with_airportexpress/
    Any help much appreciated!

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    My WDS experience is limited to "main" and "remote" configurations (no "relay"), so I'm not posting from direct experience, but below is what I think would work in your case.
    I go through the utility manager and set up the base station, first as "create a wireless network" enter the ISP details etc etc. Its green light. Everything is fine. Then manually configure the Base Station. Hold down option key hit Participate in a WDS. I then select main enter + and add the Mac Id's for the intended Relay unit and Remote Unit
    I don't think the "main" unit needs to be told about the "remote" unit, only about the "relay" unit.
    Question 1: Do I need to add the base unit's MAC number itself under: WDS Remotes? even I am setting it up as Main?
    You'd never enter the MAC address of a unit into its own configuration, if that's what you mean. I also don't think that you'd need to enter the MAC address of the main into the remote and conversely.
    I am careful to note the security settings and the the Wireless Network name to match these in the relay and remote set up. Under the Wireless tab I leave the Radio Mode: as Automatic (802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n).
    Five things have to match in a WDS configuration: network name, encryption type, network password, band, and channel.
    I make sure the base has "allow this network to be extended" ticked.
    I don't think that's important for a WDS configuration.
    Question 2: Do you need to disable Guest networks?
    I wouldn't think that matters.
    Under Access Control I leave as default, Not enabled.
    That's fine.
    WDS Error as it can not find other units. Ok fine as the relay and remote are not yet set up.
    Right.
    I then proceed to set up the Relay unit. Doing the same steps as above with a couple of differences being I add the MAC numbers and select the WDS Mode (Relay for Relay and Remote for Remote. I add the Main base station (i.e Airport Extreme MAC No.) when prompted and then + the Remotes MAC number. The same for the Remote except I only need to add the base station's main no.
    I think this should be the MAC address of the relay station, not that of the main station.
    Question 3. Do I need to add the Relay's own MAC number to its own setup?
    No.

  • E71 - MFE Set Up - Help Needed

    Hi,
    Hope someone can help here. Have MFE on E71 and have entered the details I believe are relevant from my work Microsoft Outlook account. However, when I try and sync, I get 'Connection error, try again later'. I think I have either the domain or ports wrong, but have no idea where I can find this information?
    The username and password settings are what I use to log in to my email account, are these case sensitive?
    The exchange server I have got directly from Microsoft Outlook via Tools-Email Accounts-View or Change-Change (and it is there).
    The only thing left I am not 100% sure on is the domain and the ports?
    If anyone can tell me where these can be found on my system or in Outlook setting, it would be much appreciated.

    You can get all the information from the network administrator / whoever looks after your Exchange Server...
    If you log on to the network that the Exchange server's on, the domain's in the box underneath the password box, most admins use the default ports, but the administrator will be able to confirm that. Also, you need to make sure that mobile access is enabled - another question for the administrator...
    Not a great deal of help there I'm afraid, but the administrator's the person to ask in this case

  • Creating Symbol Instances containing a dynamically set image - Help Needed

    I'm working on a site prototype that has many rollover images in the navigation. Each image is unique, but the rollover and rollout code is identical. I'm trying to create a single symbol that can be used for all of the rollovers, but need some help figuring this out, as it will significantly speed up my work.
    I think the pseudocode would work like this:
    Create a symbol that contains a default rollover image.
    In the symbol, add the rollover and rollout code. This adjusts transparency from 0 -> 100 and back.
    Create instances of the symbol over each item in the nav.
    For each instance, set a variable containing the name of the rollover image to be used.
    In that symbol instance, get the variable value.
    In that symbol instance, use the image name in the variable to replace the default image.
    Question: How do I make step 4-6 work? I have 1-3 working smoothly.P.S. My last dev work was waaaaay back with Director, PHP and ColdFusion. I still get basic principles such as using functions, objects, instances, inheritance etc, but the language has changed. And I have very very little experience with the DOM.
    Appendix: How I'm Doing This Manually
    There's a background image of the nav showing all of the unselected states
    Each item in the nav has a corresponding rollover image, in a series of elements layered on top of nav element. Each rollover has opacity initially set to 0%.
    Each image element has rollover, rollout and click triggers. Rollover and rollout triggers are identical for each. There's also a little more code with rollout that provides a quick fade. This means lots of copying identical code. I hate to think about having to change any part of that code.
    Thanks! Chassy

    Hi there,
    Perhaps a more simple solution would be to set up 1 global function that handles over/out states for all your buttons. On mouseenter/mouseleave of each button you would call this function to fade in/out your rollover graphic.
    Example:
    http://www.timjaramillo.com/code/edge/rollover4_multiple_btns
    Source:
    http://www.timjaramillo.com/code/edge/_source/rollover4_multiple_btns.zip
    Code on Stage.compositionReady (note there are btn symbols called btn_1, btn_2, btn_3, and all have an over state called "over" in them):
    var array_btns = ["btn_1", "btn_2", "btn_3"];// array to hold all your btns
    function setup_btns()
              // iterate through array_btns, add "mouseenter" and "mouseleave" for all
              for (var i=0; i<array_btns.length; i++){
                        // hide "over" state initially
                        sym.getSymbol( array_btns[i] ).$("over").hide();
                        sym.$( array_btns[i] ).mouseenter({obj:array_btns[i]}, function(e){
                                  var btn = e.data.obj;
                                  sym.getSymbol(btn).$("over").fadeIn(500);// show "over" graphic
                        sym.$( array_btns[i] ).mouseleave({obj:array_btns[i]}, function(e){
                                  var btn = e.data.obj;
                                  sym.getSymbol(btn).$("over").fadeOut(200);// hide "over" graphic
    setup_btns();

  • Set Up Help Needed Plz!!!

    Im using audition cs with an mbox2 mini + mic to record audio tracks. I've had a hell of a time finding all the drivers needed for the mbox to work with audition in stand alone mode. Before i installed the drivers, i would open audition and the option to use the mbox as an input & output was there. however when i went to record nothing happened. No sound was coming thru the mbox, i tried to monitor levels and got nothing. The USB light on the front of the mbox was also off. I went to the device manager in the control panels menu, changed the default recording device to mbox, still no nothing coming thru. I noticed that in my device manager window the mbox icon had an exclaimation point next to it, meaning drivers were missing. But the mbox was also listed as working under video game controllers in the device manager.  Somebody suggested that i re-download the stand alone driver. After re-downloading the driver the USB light came on my mbox, and i thought everything was finally gonna work. when i opened audition this time the mbox was no longer discoverable, even though the green light was lit on the mbox. I went to the audio hardware setting in audition and all the mbox settings were gone. Im not sure if i should have the drivers set to MME or ASIO. I tried to set my drivers to ASIO and got a message saying something like "can not be done, will use the previous setting" I have a feeling the problem lies in the set up of the ASIO/MME drivers? also after installing the stand alone driver, the mbox is no longer discoverable in my windows sounds menu in the control panels. Its like it just up and dissappeared even though the USB light is on. Can anyone help???

    As I've already told you, mbox standalone ASIO drivers are seriously flawed - and nothing we can say will alter that, I'm afraid.

  • Newbie to HD; unusual set-up help needed

    I have never bought an hdtv previously, but am going to be somewhat immobile for a while, and thought I would get one for the bedroom, where I will be recovering.
    I have no interest in the "television" functions, but do have about a thousand hd movies on my various external and internal hard drives, and so want to download them to watch.  My drives are formatted in NTFS, and I think I have found a product to do the trick;
    "IncrediSonic Ultra Play IMP150 - HD TV Digital Mini Media Player HDMI - 1080p - Play any file from USB HDDs/Flashdrives/Memory Cards"
    I am unsure which would be the best method of transferring individual movies for the player; USB HDDs/Flashdrives/Memory Cards and how to go about it.  Supposedly, it can handle the NTFS, as well as FAT32; here is a feature list:
    Features:
    - USB host port
    - LED light (Blue=On)
    - IR Receiver
    - SD/MMC/MS card slot
    - Composite AV port
    - HDMI port
    - Power supply jack & Power supply
    - Reads hard drives formatted in FAT32 and NTFS
    - supports hard drives up to 1TB and SD/MS cards up to 64GB
    - Also plays subtitle files as well as loop videos.
    What's Included:
    - IMP150
    - Composite Cables
    - Remote COntrol
    - AC Adapter
    - User Guide
    I am thinking that an LCD 46 inch would do the trick for the size room it will be in.  Specifically, what features are absolutely required for me to use the TV as mentioned, and what accessories should be purchased with the set?
    Also, any suggestion on which "budget" lcd hdtv is available at your online store, that is reliable and has a good track record, as well as a decent picture and sound; cost is a major consideration for me, rather than obtaining top-of-the-line.
    Thanks!

    All the television really needs is an HDMI and/or RCA/Composite connection which I believe every television created now will provide (LEDs tend to have an adapter for RCA/Component connections).  With pretty much all TVs being brand new models, it's hard to say any have a good track record, but I really like the new models from Sony.  Believe it's the 46BX450 model that is the LCD version.  Runs about $699 if I remember right.  Samsung models run at $799 (46E550).  Probably wouldn't recommend the RCA 46" although it is on sale for $499.  The new Insignia 46L240A13 is a pretty good television as well.  Starts out at only $499 and is on sale this week for $479.
    Personally, I'd just tell you to have all of your files on an external hard drive and connect it to the player.  Lot easier than having to shuffle through memory cards and flash drives.

  • APN network setting problem, help needed~~

    I need to change APN network setting on my iphone 4S, but i can't find "network" under "settings" -->"general" and change APN.
    My iphone setting is iso7.
    Thanks

    The iPhone contains the correct APN settings for all supported iPhone carriers, and the fact is, most all carriers don't want you messing with these settings. Whether you have a setting to edit the APN settings or not, requires your phone be officially unlocked, & that the carrier you are trying to use supports such.

  • Apple Script and MS Word Help needed for an AppleScript Newbie

    I am a school teacher. I have to use a Windows program called Report Complete to write school reports on each child. After each report is written it is then exported from Report Complete into MS Word. However, after this process somehow the Language within Word is set to none, and the Spelling and Grammar check is switched off. Which is very inconvenient because it means that for each school report I have to set the language and turn on the S&G Check before I can proof read.
    So...is there any way I can collect a batch of say 30 school reports (saved as Word97-2004 docs - not docx) into a folder, and run a script so that MS Word 2008 opens and the language and grammar check are set to English UK and on respectively? I would really appreciate it if someone could write the script for me!

    Sorry, you have an Android based smartphone - not an iPhone.  iPhones are made by Apple.
    And no, itunes nor Apps from the Apple App store will work on your phone.
    Find the Android marketplace on your phone to download apps.  There are other music management programs that will work with Android.

  • PS3 / PlayStation Network set-up help needed

    I am trying to get my PS3 to connect to the PlayStation Network.  When I try to connect to the PlayStation Network (using my PS3) system,  I get a message saying:  "The connection with the PlayStation Network timed out."
    From there I go to, Network Settings, Internet Connection Test, then I get a message saying:  "The sign-in (e-mail address) or password is incorrect."
    I'm not sure if I need to make any adjustments to my Network settings, through my (Actiontec MI424-WR Rev. E) FIOS router?  Any feedback which would lead to a solution where this problem is fixed would be appreciated, Thank You!

    I just set up my PS3, so here is what you need to do.
    You will need the following information from your Verizon router:
    SSID (the name of your FiOS router)
    WEP 64 Bit password.
    You can find these things by going to the following URL: http://192.168.1.1 . You will need to know the log-in to your router to see the info. Your log-in to the router will usually be "admin". Your password will usually be either "password" or "password1".
    From there you will be able to look up the above information and write them down. If you are connecting the PS3 to the internet via WiFi, please make sure that the WiFi is turned "on" on your router.
    Then go to the settings on your PS3 and look for the internet set up. Input the info specific to your router and you should be ready to rock n' roll.

  • SharePoint 2013 List & linked Document Set Project Help Needed

    I have struggling to find the best solution for a recent project. I'm sure someone will have a better suggestion than what I have come up with.
    Project Requests
    Project Tracking and Documents
    Status and other data
    Project Documents
    Offsite Syncing for active projects (SkyDrive Pro)
    Attempted Scenario
    1 List for Project Tracking
    1 Document Library for Project Documents (Document Set content type)
    I created a workflow to automatically create a new Document Set when an item was added to the list, then create a link to the Document set in a column called Documents. The goal with the document sets is to have them sent to another library (archive) when
    the project is marked complete. The reason is so that the user synching offline won't have so many document sets to sync or to browse through (there would easily be a few hundred within a couple of months)
    Is there a way to programmatically move the document set to an archive library when the list item status is set to complete?  And if the status were to change back to active, to move back to the active library. 
    Or maybe I am going about this the wrong way entirely?  All suggestions are greatly appreciated! 

    Hi,
    With Event Receiver, we can capture the ItemUpdated event of item of a list when the value of an item is updated, then perform the Document Set moving accordingly.

  • Set-up help needed to print from HPJ4580 via Time Machine

    This should work but I can't seem to make it!
    My HPJ4580 prints fine directly from my MacBook Pro but when I go through the steps to connect and print using the USB connection on the Time Capsule (so my husband and I can both print wirelessly) the printer is not found.
    Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong??
    THANKS!

    OK, so between your helpful prompts and my brain finally operating more satisfactorily I have sorted it.
    Turns out I hadn't selected the proper printer driver - I just selected what looked like the right printer name, which of course was the one I had used from when the printer was connected directly to my computer, hence the wrong location (my MacBook Pro).
    I fixed that by clicking the + button on the bottom left of the list and added the printer again but this time with "Kind' being Bonjour so that it now appears in the available printer list with Time Machine identified as the location.
    Et voila... fully operational!
    Thanks for nudging me along.

  • Set Serial Help Needed

    Guys,
    I have a Keyspan USB to Serial adapter. Now I am trying to be able to connect to a Cisco switch via console serial cable using the Minicom utility. My problem is I don't know how to tell Minicom that my serial device is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0 or maybe it already know...
    [carlos@tuna ~]$ dmesg | grep tty
    console [tty0] enabled
    00:06: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 5) is a 16550A
    usb 5-2: Keyspan 1 port adapter converter now attached to ttyUSB0
    Does anyone know how I can tell my Arch system that I have a USB to serial adapter connected to my machine?

    Did you check to see if /dev/ttyUSB0 exists?  If so, launch minicom with root privileges,  and set the port (worikng from memory here)  C-a C-z (I think)  Then follow the awful menus.
    May I respectful suggest you look at gtkterm as an alternative to minicom ?
