AX as client with third party modem/router

Like others, I'm having trouble getting my AX to join an existing network from my third party modem/router (in this case a Siemens SE 515 dsl). After 2 days of sifting posts, changing settings and reset after reset, I'm about to take the thing back or just toss it out the window. I really only want to use the AX for AirTunes but do want to be able to surf at the same time.
My modem/router is set as PPPoE with login details and PPPoE pass-through is enabled, as is NAT. The modem is set to get IP address automatically. WEP-128 is on and I've activated MAC access control (and am sure it's the correct id for the Airport). It's set for DHCP in the range 192.168.1.xx. WDS is activated and the router detects other devices around the place.
In Network settings on my Powerbook I've selected PPPoE and also entered the login details here. In the TCP/IP tab, IPv4 is automatically set to PPP and the computer gets an IP address but it's in 84.xxx... range. Internet access works fine when I use these settings.
Now, reset the AX, in Airport Admin I set it to client (I don't need to extend the network), entered the WEP key and selected the router network name from the pop-up menu. In the Internet tab I select DHCP, in music tab AirTunes is on and I've entered a speaker name. Click update, then...
Nothing happens.
Well, not quite. The orange light on the AX is flashing. When I go into iTunes, the Airport is listed in the pop-up at bottom right but when I select it, iTunes says it is trying to connect and, after a while, fails. Airport Admin can no longer find the AX either.
My hunch is that this is something to do with IP addresses but I really have no idea. Any hints gratefully received.

1. your modem/router should not have "PPPoE pass-through" enabled. The PPPoE connection with your ISP must be handled by the modem/router itself - not by your Mac. The modem/router should be functioning as a NAT router, and all the wireless clients (like your Mac and the Airport Express) of the modem/router should be connecting to it using DHCP.
2. I don't know why you activated WDS on the modem/router. It isn't necessary, and whatever WDS flavor is supported by this modem/router won't be supported by the Airport Express. Turn it off.
3. On the Powerbook, in System Preferences->Network->Show Airport - (a) under the PPPoE tab the box to "connect using PPPoE should NOT be checked and (b) under the TCP/IP tab the only selection should be to configure using DHCP.
Before proceeding to the next steps, you must now make sure your Mac is still able to access the internet wirelessly.
4. Do a factory default reset of the Airport Express. Temporarily switch wireless network connections on the Mac from your modem/router to that of the Airport Express. Run the Airport Admin Utility. In the Airport Admin Utility, select the mode to be "join an existing wireless network". Below that, type in the SSID of your modem/router. Enter the same WEP type and WEP key as used on your modem/router. Make any other configuration changes required under the Music tab, then update settings to the Airport Express. When finished, switch the wireless network connection on the Mac back to that of your modem/router.
5. If you still have trouble, remove all security (MAC address filtering and WEP) from your modem/router and see if you can then get the Airport Express to connect as a client.

Airport with third party wireless router?

Will Airport Extreme units play well with third party routers? I have Verizon FIOS and would like to use my Airport Extreme base station and Airport Express unit on my home network. I have successfully set up Airport Express in my office as a WDS. Can Airport Extreme base station be set up as part of a WDS?
Thanks for any insights.

Will Airport Extreme units play well with third party routers?
No industry-wide standard exists for WDS, so it is impossible to predict how Apple's implementation of it (or anyone else's for that matter) will interface with other equipment.
Wikipedia has a short but fairly comprehensive list of third party equipment that allegedly support WDS. Missing from the list is a Linksys access point, which I nonetheless successfully configured as a WDS remote station. They call it "repeater mode".
Yes Verizon FiOS is absent.

Connecting AEBS to third party modem/router

I'm not having any luck setting up my AEBS as remote basestation to connect wirelessly to my Zyxel wireless modem/router.
I have the AEBS wired to my quad G5. In Airport Admin Utility of the internet settings Airport WDS is selected. At the WDS host options I have entered the MAC address from the Zyxel modem. In the network settings I have distribute IP addresses off. Also in Port mapping and access controll nothing is selected. At the WDS options I have enabled base station as a WDS remote base station. Main airport ID is the MAC address of the Zyxel. It does not scan or see the Zyxel modem automatically.
I can log on with my PB to the Zyxel wirelessly, but somehow I can't seem figure it out with the G5 and AEBS. I must be doing something terribly wrong... Any tips?
Thanks,
Rick

Rick808, Welcome to the discussion area!
Sorry, but that won't work. Apple's WDS only works between Apple's base stations and a very, very few others. I don't believe that it works with any Zyxel devices.

Verizon DSL with Third-Party Modem

I recently purchased a Netgear ADSL2+ modem and a Netgear AC1600 router to replace the Verizon Actiontech combo router-modem that came with my Verizon DSL service. I am posting this problem and solution for anyone else who is or may experience the same problem.
The Issue: the new Netgear modem would not connect to the internet. After several attempts using the setup wizard, trying different manual configurations, copying the Actiontech modem information, etc. the new modem simply would not detect or connect to the internet. The Netgear setup was getting stuck on indentifying a static IP address although the Verizon system uses a dynamic IP.
The Short Story: the solution I found was to disconnect all devices from the DSL for several hours (overnight or possibly shorter). I believe this allowed the Verizon system enough time to reset/erase the previous device MAC address, thus allowing the new device to establish it's own MAC address as well as establish a new dynamic IP address within the Verizon system.
The Long Story: this is an issue I was able to find on other forum posts throughout the internet. However, neither the Netgear tech support nor the Verizon tech support were able to identify the issue or solve it. The Netgear support was definitely the more helpful but ultimately they couldn't help me because the issue was within the Verizon system. The Verizon tech support was only able to go through their prescriptive check list before kicking the issue to the Advanced Tech Support. I was disappointed to find that this is just a ploy for getting customers to purchase a monthly subscription to tech support. What makes the situation more frustrating was that I was that the Verizon support technician kept telling me that they know the issue and could manually reset the MAC address on their end but first I would have to subscribe to the Advanced Support. The Advanced Support person turned out to be nothing more than a salesman with limited technical knowledge. The Advanced Tech Support salesman then refused to reconnect me to the standard tech support or connect me to a manager. In the end, I gave up and went to bed frustrated only to find that the device worked instantly the following morning. Hopefully somone with more tech savy can explain why...

Router 876 with 3d party modem

Dear all,
i have a 876 cisco adsl router and need to configure a vpn with another router.
the problem is that the router cannot synchronize (due to bad line) so i will have to use a third party modem that can synchronize.
This is what i ve tried so far:
1) configure the modem in bridge mode and connect it via LAN and PPPoE with the router. The router would do the authentication and then i would create my tunnel with the other cisco router.
That didn't work (i couldn 't make the router authenticate the adsl line)
2) let the modem do the authentication and then create my tunnel interface. The router can go out in the internet but i don't know how to configure the vpn.
i have set a network 192.168.12.xxx in Fa 0 with the modem and a 192.168.1.xxx in Fa1 with my internal network.
The tunnel source IP in the 876 router is a local IP so i port forwarded UDP ports 500,4500 and 10000 in the modem, but i cannot make the vpn work. I am not sure if these are the ports used by the vpn.
Obviously i am doing something wrong but i don't know what!
Any help with either two ways would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Pairing AX with Third Party Router

Hi,
I try to set a network by connecting AX with thrid party WiFi router (to create a router network). I can not manage to pair it as I wish, but I am aware that not all Third party router are able to connect with Airports and WDS.
I try to pair with a Sitecom (WL-026)
Do someone knows about AX -3rd Party comaptibility?
Thanks
Yann

Since I'm not at home, I can't go into my AX config right now. However, is what you're suggesting quite easy (i.e., setting up my AX to connect to my NON-WDS supporting 3rd party P.O.C. router's network)?
I am currently doing it the brute force way: two separate networks, one (3rd party) connected to the world, one (AX) connected to the stereo. This is all well and good except that I have no internet connectivity when I'm using the stereo. OK... not so well and good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to integrate DRM with third party tool for loading metadata in SQL table

Experts,
I am new to DRM and I have a requirement in which we want to integrate DRM with third party tool(lets say SQL table) as target and load metadata from DRM (Parent node, name , alias etc) to SQL table (same column name)
Is there any way we can integrate DRM to export the same to table directly instead to files. If yes what are the steps we have to follow.
Is there anyway we can customize DRM to execute queries or run batch
Can I have a basic example please.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,

1. Use DRM Export to Table option, for that create an External Connection first for the Target Database and select the respective Tables to which you wish to Export the Hierarchy information.
2. You can perform most of the DRM Actions via the DRM_BATCH_CLIENT.exe.
Please refer to Using the Data Relationship Management Batch Client of DRM User guide.
let me know if you have any issues.

Muse: In-Browser Editing with third-party FTP

Hi,
I recently finished a new website for my client. The domain already exist. Therefore, we will upload the new website, designed in Muse, directly to our hosting server's FTP. Is it possible to activate in-browser editing by using an third-party FTP? And if yes, which steps I have to do?
Thank you very much for your answers!

Hi,
The June 2014 update to Muse enables In-Browser Editing for Muse sites hosted with third-party (non-Adobe) providers.

Connect AE to third party wireless router

Hi all,
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a Airport Extreme base that I want to connect to a non Apple wireless router (ISP wireless router). Anybody managed to do that?
I tried setting up the base as WDS connnecting to my third party wireless router but without any success. I can make all the connections, save my AE settings, but when I choose the newly set AE Base, I'm not connected.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Most likely not, as very few non-AirPort routers can be extended with the AirPorts in a WDS. (ref: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php?title=WDSLinked_routernetwork)
You can, however, connect the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to most non-AirPort routers, via Ethernet, and then set up the AEBS as a bridge.

Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

Really Apple?
With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
Thank you.

Read this post: 10.8.5 Broke Camera Usage For 3rd Party Apps Like Skype
Another: isight not recognized in Skype after 10.8.5 upgrade
Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

SharePoint 2013 on-premises integration with third party email account

the Email sending issue from SharePoint is causing too much time waste
First let me explain how our SharePoint is deployed
Sharepoint version : 2013
Deployment type : on-premise
Authentication : from Domain controller also hosted locally
domain name ; say domain.com this domain.com is same as our website address hosted on godaddy
SharePoint computer name on local DNS : sharepoint.domain.com
OS and IIS : 2008 r2 , IIS 7.5
Network firewall : 25 26 ports opened for sharepoint , both incoming and outgoing.
Server firewall : turned off
Email configuration Attempts by IIS 6.0
We tried following setting on IIS 6.0 SMTP local server properties
In General tab
qualified name was shown as : sharepoint.dts-solution.com
IP assigned : sharepoint server IP , advanced putted two entries of IP with ports as 25,26
In Access tab
Authentication : selected as Anonymous
Connection : All except below list : empty list
Relay : only the list below , one entry as 127.0.0.1 and other is local static IP of SharePoint server
in Delivery tab
outbound security : Basic authentication : accessed user in AD and given the right password, also checked with annonymous -not working
outbound connection: all default values and port = 25
Advance : fully qualified domain name = sharepoint.domain.com , DNS test showed success, rest every check box unchecked
On sharepoint central management settings
Outbound email = sharepoint.domain.com
from and reply to address = [email protected]
IIS 7.5 SMTP settings
In IIS 7.5 sharepoint application we added SMTP settings as smtp server = godaddy out going smtp , user name as [email protected] , password = godaddy password , port : godaddy outgoing port .
Godaddy account
Our website hosted on godaddy with same name as domain.com
open relay not possible on emails.
Results
After setting alerts on SharePoint sites and assigning tasks with alerts we receive email in queue folder but they never get forwarded. We just wish to use any of our email *.domain.com to send outgoing emails from SharePoint . Its been a while we have no
success.
Tech Learner

Hi,
As I understand, you are using SharePoint 2013 integrating with third party SMTP server which provides email function.
From SharePoint side, I'd suggest you refer to the link below to configure email integration:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee956941(v=office.15).aspx
If you have already confirm that message is sent from SharePoint, while stuck in queue on SMTP server, then the issue might be related to relay on SMTP server. Since the issue is related to third party product, we do not have enough resource here,
I'd recommend you contact their support engineer for more assistance:
https://support.godaddy.com/help/category/154/email
https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/3552/managing-your-email-account-smtp-relays
Thanks for the understanding.

Integration of ChaRM with third party tools

Hi all,
We are in the process of building the solution for Change Request Management implementation integrated with third party tool.
As the normal process for ChaRM is to work with the Service Desk functionality (to raise a ticket, then support message, change request, change document etc...), but what we need is create the change request, and change document directly with ChaRM without using the Service Desk functionality.
Did anybody come across this situation?
Please share your experience.
Thanks in advance.
Balaji

Hi Balaji,
there is no problem, as I understand, you want to use ChaRM without Service Desk. OK, than you create directly a Change Request in CRMD_ORDER, the transaction type you have to select is SDCR (standard transaction type), you have to approve it and then you can create a change document, it is not necessary that you start with a Service Desk ticket like SLFN.
You need configured TMS a SolMan Project with a Maintenance Cycle, thats it (but this is enough , don't forget the customizing).
I hope I understood you correct
Udo
