Best Network Layout for Unifi Environment

Did you already purchase the equipment?Depending on the layout of the home, I would say that 5 AP could be a bit overkill, but it will definitely take care of your coverage. If you have some area outside your home that you are also wanting to get coverage for, like a porch, back yard, etc, and you're wanting to use the UAP-Pro inside to extend the coverage outside, this may or may not give you the results you're looking for. Also if you have 2 stories or if you are wanting to extend coverage to 3 stories, or 2 stories and a sub-structure like a basement, you will have to take that into account with placement and signal penetration.
Take into account the building material on the outside walls of your home as well. If it's just insulation and wood, and you don't have to extend very far, then you should be fine. If you have brick or metal...

I am trying to get some advice on the best layout for a new install of a Unifi home network. - Surfboard SB6183 Modem for 300Mbs Connection- Ubiquiti Networks - ERPOE-5 - EdgeRouter with 5 Ports- Cisco 24 Port Gigabit Switch (don't know model number - All home connections home run here)- 5 Unifi Pro Ap's- 2 Airport Express for Airtunes only (wireless off)- 2 x 8 Port Gigabit Switches ( 1 for media cabinet, 1 for office )I am trying to figure out the best topology for how I connect everything. Would it be best to plug in 4 x Unifi Ap's directly into the Router and one into the 24 port switch, or to plug them all into the switch?I also have had alot of trouble with my current all apple setup with airplay stuttering (all wired), so would it be better to place the airport expresses directly into the Unifi Router?Lastly, are all pro level...

What is best network setting for jetpack mifi 5510l

I live in a rural area with poor signal. No 4G and limited 3G. We got an antenna that boosts phones from nothing or 1X one bar to 3G and 2-3 bars inside the house. What is the best network setting for jetpack? It doesn't seem to work as well.
Automatic and 4g don't work. I don't know what CDMA Auto or EDVO stand for.
Any suggestions for improving strength would be appreciated. I know I won't get a great connection but a steady connection sure would be great.

> What is the best network setting for jetpack?
Not sure what you mean. The jetpack will automatically configure itself to whatever signal it currently has access to. Shouldn't have to configure any network settings.
> I don't know what CDMA Auto or EDVO stand for.
Those are the old 3G networks.
> Any suggestions for improving strength would be appreciated.
Perform what is known as a Site Survey and evaluate your current environment:
http://3gstore.com/page/13_will_an_antenna_help_me.html
After you generate some numbers then look up what they mean in the Interpret the Results tab. You mentioned that you already purchased an antenna so there may not be anything else you can do as the local towers in your area are not good enough to reach inside your home.

Best networking model for a java network application

Hi all,
I am in need of a decision regards the network technology used for a CRM.
I am thinking about JAX-RPC to build network model for the system.I'll concider functianality details after deciding the network model.
Which'll be better?.JAX-RPC?.i did'nt used it before.How good is that technology for a client-server CRM which need frequent remote method calls?.
What about using servlets?.
My requirement is i'll make XML documents from client and send to the server and server parse the XML file then make necessory method calls and return another XML data to the client.
I cant use a database server for network functioning.Because the application should run in internet also.So installing a client-server database and only writing client application will not work.
My application should work equally in internet and local network.
So which technology can i implement for better results?.
What about servlets?.
Servlets can take inputs as web forms.But can servlets work with XML inputs with a swing client(no browser)?.
What'll be the best technology without EJB?.Becoz only Tomcat can be used for deployment.
Plz anyone suggest a good opinion.
What'll the best for me?.

Many thanks for your efforts,but i already know all what you hav said.Then you should be in fine shape for starting this project.
But what i need is good insights.You hav told me that
"start the project and you'll get" .OK.But after doing
a lot of projects,Onething i know is getting as much
insights towards a project will help always.Because
there maybe issues that we dont concider or some
better patterns.I can't help you based on what you've posted so far. You're talking about gathering good requirements and doing a detailed analysis and design. That's not what this forum is for. You should be doing that with your customers and teammates.
And i'll be using JDOM.Coz it's quite easy.Very good.
But some more insights??.
I need insights in areas like,
When XML file reach to controller servlet,It should
dispatch the XML file to many javabean classes
according to it's purpose.Do you spot anything
there?.I don't know what those Bean classes will be doing with the XML, so it's hard to say.
If you're looking to create an XML message broker, where clients send XML requests to be dispatched and then get the response back, you might be talking about an asynchronous application with JMS and queues. That's very different from a servlet, but then I don't know much about what you're really trying to do.
In either case, whether you use a queue or a servlet, you'll have to think about how you'll go about routing a message. You'll have to figure out how to recognize and associate a particular XML message with the right Java Bean or destination.
any suggestiens for creating XML files?.Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and create them. No magic here.
I already thank to you for ur opinions.But plz take care on these small issues also if u done such
apps.Lets learn more together so we can make applications very very fast with good insights in
small deeper areas.I don't mean to be rude, but I can't do any detailed analysis and design with you. That's up to you, your customer, and your teammates.

Best networked printer for a MAC based network?

I may regret asking this :"), but what is the best network printer to use on a MAC based network? I have been the victim on the bloatware HP drivers for years, and am really sick of them. But what do I purge this nightmare for? Canon (like the MX860) looks interesting and is multifunction (a requirement). Lexmark seems to making a comeback, and Brother as well. Epson has seemed to do OK as well. Who has the most reliable drivers for the OSX platform, updates them the most regularly, and seems to actually care about Apple (as opposed to pandering to the Windows crowd almost exclusively).?
Comments?

I did my homework for network printer/scanner/fax and came up with the Brother Color Laser MFC-9840 CDW. It's got every button and whistle, and they all work on a Mac or PC network. You can scan from the machine and pick which Mac to send the scan to, or scan from a Mac. Sheet feeder works for fax and scan, real duplex printing. All works on Leopard. They have lower models which will also work, but without the Color, or Wireless (which we don't use).
I've seen great on-going driver development with the latest operating systems...

What would be the best network setup for me?

I am planning a network system for my medical practise. The network will comprise a Macbook Pro(myself) , an Imac(receptionist) and a Macbook for occassional admin use.
I need some advice as to the best way to store the shared data. I will be using Filemaker Pro and will be storing patient appointments, demographics as well as clinical info, visit notes and investigations.
I am considering 3 possible setups
Have shared database on the Imac, backed up by a 500 gigabyte hard disk, or possibly a time capsule, using Time machine.
Have an ethernet hard disk for storage, but then I probably would need to have a different backup system.
Use a mac mini as a file server.
Or use an altogether different setup.
I would appreciate suggestions.
Thank you
ajdk

Hi ajdk-
Then it comes down to your morals and how carefully you want or need to protect patient confidentiality. Your basic network concept should work.
As a start, storing any patient data with regular business data and emails is asking for a security breach.
Make sure to back up your back ups and store said backup securely in a media-rated fire proof vault.

Best network hookup for your apple/pc habbitat?

What are your best network setups using what routers ? Anybody using airport extreme base station and how is it compared to regular routers??
Thanks!

I am interested in some feed back on the airport extreme as well. I have a d-link wireless router right now and at least once a week I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get a connection.

Best Network Settings for mostly wireless, sometimes wired?

Folks:
My household --4 desktops Macs, 2 MacBooks, all running 10.4.x or 10.5.x-- lives by using DSL via a Netopia router controlling a LAN, with Cat 5 strung to six desks. No problem there, everything works. Note: for historical reasons --because, mostly, I forget what they were-- all desktops have static IP addresses.
But sometimes one of us wants to work in the house on a MacBook where there is no Cat 5 strung, that is, wirelessly. It's simple enough to set up a wireless server on one of the Airport-equipped desktops and make certain it stays awake.
That works, too, as long as each MacBook is configured with separate Network Preference "Locations" -- one for "Wired" and one for "Wireless", and the wireless configuration is IPv4 using DHCP with IPv6 disabled. Specifically, this requires the user to switch the Location when he/she connects or disconnects a Cat 5 cable.
My questions:
1. Is there a way of configuring the MacBooks so they will work without the requirement switching the Location when removing or connecting a LAN cable?
2. Can this configuration also accommodate what is needed for typical hotspots out there in "the outside world", as in coffee-shops, etc, again without switching the Network Preference Location?
3. Bonus Questions: Would this problem be easier if I modified the wired system configuration to use DHCP instead of fixed IPs? By the way, the Netopia Router will assign addresses in the 192.168.0 to 192.168.15 range, no others.
4. Double Bonus Questions: What are the responses to the above questions, if instead of serving the wireless from one of the desktops, we added a wired/wireless router, say, a D-LINK WBR1310B1 to the LAN? Yes, it's true, we have already tried that. (Our teenager bought and installed it without my...help.) It worked for a while, something unknown changed, and now wiring up the D-LINK brings down the entire LAN. In other words, what are the "issues" of running wired AND wirelessly, and using Airport remotes with a foreign (non-Apple) wireless router?
TIA,
Henry

1. Is there a way of configuring the MacBooks so they will work without the requirement switching the Location when removing or connecting a LAN cable?
Yes, but it's a little freaky (in other words, using the Location menu is the better solution).
To do what you want you need to setup the wireless network on the desktop using a different subnet (e.g. 10.1.x.x) and enable internet sharing (System Preferences -> Sharing).
Then connect the MacBook to the wireless network and make sure it's set for DHCP (the desktop Mac will act as a DHCP server for the wireless network).
Now the kicker is to use MacBook's System Preferences -> Network -> Set Service Order to make sure the ethernet interface is above the AirPort interface. Now the MacBook will use the ethernet interface if it's there and fall back to the AirPort if the ethernet is down.
2. Can this configuration also accommodate what is needed for typical hotspots out there in "the outside world", as in coffee-shops, etc, again without switching the Network Preference Location?
Yes. Most hot-spots will require the use of DHCP on the client, which is the same as how it's set above.
3. Bonus Questions: Would this problem be easier if I modified the wired system configuration to use DHCP instead of fixed IPs?
Yes, but not significantly enough to worry about.
What are the responses to the above questions, if instead of serving the wireless from one of the desktops, we added a wired/wireless router, say, a D-LINK WBR1310B1 to the LAN?
The setup on the client would be the same - the main point is in setting the interface preferences so that the wired ethernet has precedence.
However, a dedicated base station will offer other advantages such as WPA encryption (the Mac-based base station only offers the weaker WEP), and no requirement to leave the desktop Mac running.
From a 'which base station' standpoint, the Apple base stations would be easier to run in an all-Mac environment, but most of the major brands now use web-based interfaces which make them reasonably easy to manage from a Mac. The issue with your D-Link is almost certainly one of misconfiguration rather than incompatibility, but without knowing how it was setup it's hard to advise further.

Best Network HD for my wireless network

I'm looking to buy a 250gig or larger network drive which I would like to connect to my d-link hub which is connected to my airport in my home wireless network. I have a G4 powerbook that I use most of the time and I have a firewire external drive from smartdisk which works well but I have to be physically connected to it. I got the ext drive so I could put my iTunes library and iMovie projects on it and free space on the powerbook. My goal is to have an external drive that I can access through my airport (ie. wireless drive) to replace the firewire drive I now use. Does anyone have experience doing a similar thing? if so do you recommend any particular drive for this? I've hear of a WD network drive and a LaCie and even a smartdisk one which for some reason they stopped selling from their site. I have had bad experiences with LaCie in the past so I prefer to stay away from that brand. Any advice will be appreciated.

If you have a Graphite or a Snow base station you will find a network drive incredibly slow and will certainly not work as you would like for iTunes or iMovie.
To be honest even with an Extreme wireless network it would be slow.
Firewire 480Mbps
Airport 11Mbps
My recommendation is to stick with the Firewire drive.
When I have needed to move files from one computer to another on my network, I have found it (for larger files) much quicker to use a firewire drive rather than copy them over the network.

Best Networking Setup for low CPU use?

Going to be connecting two G4's over a 100-T router. What is the least CPU intensive way to trasnfer files on computer A to computer B?
FTP?
Personal File Sharing?
I need the least CPU intensive out of all the possible options available.
Burning not an option, need to be over the network.

FTP while both machines are connected to a switch that is using Jumbo Frames. Of course, your network cards also have to support it (unlikely in a G4).
Using Jumbo Frames greatly reduces the amount of CPU time due to each packet being able to carry more data (less packets == less processing time). The only issue with JF is that every device inbetween the computers must support the same JF mode.
Since UDP (FTP) is a state-less connection, it is faster.

Best excel layout for multi months of data and multiple metrics?

Are there ways around a pivot table?
Xcelsius Enterprise - SP3 BOXI31 SP3
Requirement;
Chart (combo - line and bar)
Monthly data (refresh)
13 rolling months
4 "levels" of filtering
16 metrics
Do I have to use a pivot table to align the 13 months across the top of the sprdsht, trying to utilize QaaWS, however, we still would have to create the pivot table after refresh. Looks like Rich Client might work to push universe data to excel?
Edited by: Michael on Jul 13, 2010 4:51 PM

Simple solution:
Make a filter box (dropdown) and set it so that there are 4 of them.
Write out all your data alike: Option1 Option2 Option3 Option4 Metric Score
Put the filter box on the entire area of your data (all 6 columns), it will automatically make the 4 filters populated with the possibilities in the dataset.
Copy the resultrows of the filtering to another area, put the chart on that one (and use index or so to pick the metric you want to see).

Best practices for defining Environment Variables/User Accounts in Linux

Hello,
After reading throught the Quick Install guide for 10gR2 on x86_64 Linux, I see that it is not recommended to define ANY variables in .bash_profile.
I'm hoping to get a Best practices approach for defining environment variables - right now we use the oracle linux account for administration including sql*plus. So, where should the myriad variables be defined? Is it important enough to create a user account in linux to support best practices?
What variables, exactly, should be defined? It seems that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is no longer being used?
Thanks in advance
Doug

Something that I've done for years on unix/linux boxes is to create a seperate environment variable setup file for each instance on the box. This would include things like ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, etc. Then I would create an alias in my .bash_profile that would execute this script. As an example, I would create a orcl.env file that would hold all of the environment variables for this instance. Then in my .bash_profile I would create a line like the following:
alias orcl=". $HOME/orcl.env"
Then from anywhere you could type orcl and you would set your environment to connect to that database.
Also, if you are using 10g, something else that is really nice if you are using sqlplus, and you connect to different databases without starting a new sqlplus session is to set a parameter in your $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql file:
set sqlprompt "_user 'at' _connect_identifier >"
This will automatically change your command prompt to look like this:
RALPH at ORCL >
if you connect as GEORGE, your prompt will immediately change to :
GEORGE at ORCL >
This way you can always know who and where you are connected to.
Good luck!

Best practice DISK Layout for E-business suite 11i or R12 in SAN enviornmen

Hi,
Does any one have any document on best practices on DISK Layout for E-business suite 11i or R12 in SAN enviornment?
My thoughts are :
Mount point 1 =Oracle Binary
Mount point 2 =Data files
Mount point 2 =Index files
Mount point 2 =Archived logs
Please suggest

On our HPUX node, we have each environment (PROD, TEST, DEV) on it's own separate mountpoint. Each mountpoint is a separate LUN (Vdisk) on our SAN (an HP EVA4400). No performance issues at all. Our Windows nodes runs Apache and forms, and that is on the internal disks on the windows machine itself. Hope this helps.

Best Practice for Production environment

Hello everyone,
can someone share the best practice for a production environment? or is there a SAP standard best practice to follow in a Production landscape?
i understand there are Best practices available for Implementation , Migration and upgrade. But, i was unable to find one for productive landscape
thanks.

Hi Siva,
What best practise are you looking for ? If you can be specific on your question we could provide appropriate response.
From my basis experience some of the best practices.
1) Productive landscape should have high availability to business. For this you may setup DR or HA or both.
2) It should have backup configured for which restore has been already tested
3) It should have all the monitoring setup viz application, OS and DB
4) Productive client should not be modifiable
5) Users in Production landscape should have appropriate authorization based on SOD. There should not be any SOD conflicts
6) Transport to Production should be highly controlled. Any transport to Production should be moved only with appropriate Change Board approvals.
7) Relevant Database and OS security parameters should be tested before golive and enabled
8) Pre-Golive , Post Golive should have been performed on Production system
9) EWA should be configured atleast for Production system
10) Production system availability using DR should have been tested
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Deepak Kori

Looking for best practice on J2EE development environment

Hi,
We are starting to develope with J2EE. We are looking for best practice on J2EE development environment. Our concern is mainly on code sharing and deployment.
Thanks, Charles

To support "code sharing" you need an integrated source code control system. Several options are out there but CVS (https://www.cvshome.org/) is a nice choice, and it's completely free and it runs on Windows, Linux, and most UNIX variants.
Your next decision is on IDE and application server. These are usually from a single "source". For instance, you can choose Oracle's JDeveloper and Deploy to Oracle Application Server; or go with free NetBeans IDE and Jakarta Tomcat; or IBM's WebSphere and their application server. Selection of IDE and AppServer will likely result in heated debates.
