Blind Network

Hey everyone,
I work on a mac (OS X, 10.4, G4.) in windows environment. Recently I needed to connect to the shared network first time, but when connected, the network seems empty, not a file insight.
When I tryed to upload files, it didn't work either, the "operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges to some of the items". I changed Ownership/Permissions for upload files as those can create problems uploading, bt it doesnt help.
A bit quirky to me, is that I have to bring up the server with apple K not the usual Network in finder. I am really not sure whats happening, and stuck as nobody here knows Mac...
Any ideas/mac network links on how to even begin solving this are welcome!!!! Thanks! T.

Hi Kevin,
I assume your router broadcasts the SSID.
Open Network Preferences>Airport and enter the networks name there.

  • IBook blind to open network

    My G4 iBook refuses to see my wifi network I have here in my house. My Mac Mini, windows laptop and Nintendo DS all see the access point at various points throughout the house.
    My iBook on the other hand is blind to it even a meter from the router, I have tried to create a manual connection and done a mac stumbler search but nothing. My iBook can pickup my neighbors networks in certain areas though and has been fine migrating across networks in uni.
    Any suggestions ?

  • June 2012 MacBook Air completely blind to networks (water damage?)

    Hey guys.
    My 1 month old MacBook Air (10.8.2, June 2012) won't detect ANY wifi network.
    I've been using my home network and the MBA won't detect it any more. My iPad, PCs are all working as per usual. Tried rebooting MBA/router to no avail.
    A few drops of water landed on upper right hand corner, the Mac jammed after but when I rebooted it, all seemed fine. So possible water damage?
    I turned WIFI scanner off/on and it shows an attempt at scanning but it won't find any, not even my my neighbors' networks.
    The icing on the cake is there are no Genius bars in my country and I bought the MBA from the Apple Online store so ideas are much appreciated. I'm resuming University after the Christmas break and will need it ASAP.
    Thank you in advance! :)

    Well sorry to tell you but you won't get your money back.If you bought it in June, and it is now August, Apple has only a 14 day return policy for full refund. You are well past that 14 day period. Apple will fix your present system or they might even replace it but you won't get a refund.

  • How to share a hard drive in a network on 10.6

    Hey there,
    I'd like to share a HD within a small mac network of around 30 (10.6 and 10.5 Users) giving different rights to different people. Now when I tested it I see that connecting to Computer "Mac1" shows the public folder and its content for guests and none admins. Once I connect with an admin name I can see the HD connected to Mac1. But once I change to a guest or none admin User I can only access the public folder even if I change the permission rights on the HD.
    How do I make the HD accessible for specific users?

    I started out with the same problem a few years back. And this led me to think wider.
    I have a Mac Mini (as a blind server) hanging in my network. It has a 24/7 external HD (24/7 is important as all cheap HD are not made to run day in day out, I wonder even if the Lacie d2 Network2 is a 24/7 HD) attached to it that is accessible to the whole network.
    My Mac Mini is also a print server (no need for expensive network cards in printers), fax for the whole network and answers the phone when nobody is there. If a fax or call is logged it emails it to the people who need to know about it.
    On top of it, it holds al the Time machine backups for every machine in the network.
    Good luck hope it helps.

  • Can I use a Time Capsule to extend my wireless network.

    Hi, I have just bought a 3TB time capsule as my old (flat style) 500GB TC is reaching full capacity. The old style TC will then be surplus to requirements as a data storage unit, at least for myself, though it might be useful for my son to use as his Time Capsule.
    Ideally, as we have a wireless 'blind spot' out in the rear extension of the house, it would be useful to use the unit to extend my wireless network (and also use it as a separate TC if possible). Is this possible? If it is how would I go about it?
    Hope someone can help . . . .
    Cheers
    John

    Is it possible for you to consider connecting the Time Capsules together using a wired Ethernet connection?
    Here is what Apple has to say in their support document about extending:
    Adding Wi-Fi base stations when it is unnecessary can reduce Wi-Fi throughput because the Wi-Fi network will require more data management overhead. The network configuration also becomes more complex. In the case of a wirelessly extended network, throughput may be reduced to less than 60 percent of that of a single device. The general rule is to keep the Wi-Fi network as simple as possible. You can accomplish this by using the minimum number of Wi-Fi base stations required to service the physical network area and by using Ethernet wherever possible.
    Extending the range of your Wi-Fi network by connecting Wi-Fi base stations together using Ethernet is always the best option, and will provide the best throughput.

  • Time Capsule in Standalone Mode with Existing Wireless Network

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can help. I'm not quite sure where to post this question, so I hope I am in the right place. Ive found various posts on this matter but just would like some assistance with my personal set up.
    I have a new retina MacBook Pro arriving soon which will be running Mountain Lion. I've also just purchased a current model Time Capsule for the purpose of wireless backups via Time Machine and would like some advice on how to integrate it into my system. 
    I already have a wireless Internet connection set up and running well (through a D-link DSL-2740R router) so I don't want to mess around with that (for various reasons it took a long while to set up). I'm therefore looking at running the Time Capsule in a standalone way but I am guessing in doing so it will create a second wifi network (although it will not be connected to the Internet). I appreciate I cannot connect to two wireless networks at once but whilst in the local Apple store recently, one of the assistants mentioned that this would not be a problem for Mountain Lion with regard to Time Machine backups and that I would not have to use bridge mode or anything on the Time Capsule. However I unfortunately had to leave the store before I could find out how to go about setting this up. 
    I would therefore be grateful if anyone could help with how to set the Time Capsule up in Mountain Lion as mentioned above so that I can get it up and running when my Macbook Pro turns up.
    Also, once set up, I would like to use the USB port on the Time Capsule to attach a powered hub to connect multiple USB hard drives. Could someone please confirm that this will work in whatever manner I have to set the Time Capsule up and also whether Time Machine can back these drives up to the Time Capsule as well.
    I would say that networks etc. are not my strong point so would be grateful for answers aimed at novice (or lower!) level of technical experience.
    Many thanks for your help.

    This is really the same option as bridging the TC..
    You cannot use the TC as a router in the UK.. well mostly not, because all your ISP use PPPoA authentication.. there are some who have recognised the error of following BT blindly and now also use PPPoE. But you cannot authenticate the TC to the modem using pppoa protocol. So there is no way the TC can be in any mode but bridge..
    Don't worry if the above didn't make a lot of sense.
    When you bridge the TC.. it will act as a switch and WAP, plus hard disk to network.
    The wireless can indeed be left on.. even on both devices.. that isn't actually a problem.. although I prefer to set one or both routers to a fix wireless channel.
    You can also turn off the dlink wireless but I think you will find the dlink wireless rather better than the TC.
    For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping channels, 1, 6, 11 ( although you can also use 13 in UK).
    The TC is only N lite on 2.4ghz ie max speed is 150mbps.. It will only need one channel.
    The Dlink is full N ie 300 or 270mbps and to do this requires 2 channels.. that means you need to be very specifc.. and might be better infact setting the dlink to also only use 1 channel.. ie 20mhz only not 40mhz.
    Again if you are not following don't worry.. I will be specific.
    Set the dlink wireless to channel 1.. and set it to 20mhz only. The dlink should still have better range than the TC..
    Place the TC in a place as far away as you can get.. next room or wireless dead spot would be excellent.. use ethernet or EOP adapters.
    Bridge the TC.
    Set the TC to channel 11 or 13 as you prefer..
    Give it the same wireless name.. (SSID to everyone else) as the Dlink.
    Same security setting WPA2 AES on the dlink WPA2 Personal on the TC.
    Same passkey.
    You now have a roaming system.
    ie the laptop should connect to the strongest signal.. just like a mobile phone does as you travel.
    The 5ghz will also be available to your computer if the signal is good enough.. range is very poor though.
    I do recommend you run 5.6 utility.. this is tricky as it won't install on mountain Lion.
    You need to download the utility.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Download and install unpkg
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/16357/unpkg
    Open the 5.6 dmg.. and drag the pkg over a running unpkg.. it will then load the files into a new directory on the desktop.. just drag the airportutility5.6 to your utilites directory.
    v6.1 utility in Lion and Mountain Lion is a toy version.

  • Airport Roaming Network and Internet Sharing

    Dear Esteemed Experts (Tesserax et. al):
    Thanks to you, I have successfully set up TC and 2 Airport Express N in a roaming network (plugged to Ethernet but using the same name and protocol) using 802.11n (b/g compatible) radio mode. It's working well, except a few blind spots to cover.
    If I want to add an old b/g-only Airport Express or Netgear Access Point (WG602) to this roaming network (plugging them into Ethernet outlet), will this slow down the N network?
    Also, can I turn on Internet Sharing on my iMac (with N capability) and make it to join the Roaming Netowrk? If so, can I manage it through Airport Utility?
    Thanks
    Aghoo

    If I want to add an old b/g-only Airport Express or Netgear Access Point (WG602) to this roaming network (plugging them into Ethernet outlet), will this slow down the N network?
    If it is connected via Ethernet it will have no direct affect on the performance of the 802.11n network.
    lso, can I turn on Internet Sharing on my iMac (with N capability) and make it to join the Roaming Netowrk?
    Internet sharing has nothing to do with joining a wireless network. If you want your iMac to join the wireless network, just go to the AirPort menu and select the network that you want to join.
    If so, can I manage it through Airport Utility?
    AirPort Utility is only for managing Apple's base stations.

    Now this took us weeks to make.  Notice you have three different types of installers with different command line switches.  there isn't even a set of NI standards.  It took us a long, long time to put this together, trying an install and wiping the PC clean over and over and over until we finally came up with this...
    So my question is, are you guys sure it was such a good idea not to use a standard MSI file?  You really need the NI custom installer with non-group-policy-compatible msi's?
    If you gave us real msi files this could have been much easier!

    I got 99 problems but 8.6 ain't one.

    Hi Billings11,
    To recap, here is Andrew's previous response:
    You are correct in pointing out that NI's MSIs do not function as normal MSIs.  We made the decision to create functionality which would extend MSI and allow us to create more robust installers.  Our current installer framework acts as a supervisor over the installation.  It has the ability to mark and match dependencies (more functionality than the MSI reference count) which are important when other NI products are being installed or if any product is uninstalled.  The installer framework also provides a lookup service to all of the MSIs which can provide any installer with specific information about other NI products installed on the machine, paths to those products, etc.  The framework gives the ability for groups within NI to create separate installation parts (MSIs) which can be brought together into one installer without recreating a single distribution MSI from scratch.
    Extending functionality outside of normal MSIs also means that installation via a network group policy is no longer supported. 
    To support deploying through Active Directory, we would need to remove our installer framework instead and ship each piece of software as a single MSI.  The features our framework provides would be eliminated, and much of the burden of tracking dependencies would be pushed onto the customer.  Installation procedures would most likely become more complex, as each MSI would also be relatively blind to the current set of NI products on the machine.
    To distribute the NI installers to many machines, our recommendation would be to place the installer on the network, use Active Directory to define the policy, and then distribute the software through Microsoft SMS (or a similar tool) by running the installer in silent mode.  This involves creating a spec file, and then running 1 or more installers silently as part of a batch file.  You had already brought up this point in a previous post:
    "You might suggest running batch files as login scripts.  But it takes longer for someone to create and test a batch file silent install than new installation in a real MSI file.  You have to look up all the right switches to run the installation in silent mode with the right options - its a pain.  Its really better in the long run to take the time to recreate NI's installation from scratch so you can have a real windows installer from that point forward."
    I completely agree that the process for creating a batch file for the silent installation of NI products should be improved.  We are working hard to create a process in which you can 1) create a spec file simply and quickly and 2) be able to run the installer easily in silent or basic mode.  These improved features should reduce the issues your IT would have with NI software distribution through Microsoft SMS (or equivalent product).
    Thanks again for your comments and have a great day!

  • How do I stop OSX from creating ._ thumbnails of network files

    Our macs are networked to Windows servers that hold a large amount of image files. These are updated on a continual basis unfortunately the files can't be saved directly to the server but copied blindly into the folder from our macs. The ._ invisible files on the mac appear in windows, not really a big deal (although I would rather they didn't exist a all) The big problem comes when the folders on the server are opened on the mac, it takes forever for the mac to create the little alias or thumbnail files for each image. How do I stop OSX from doing this.

  • Macbook PRO can't find ANY Wifi network - only at home

    Hi, i have a very strange problem with my *Macbook Pro*. I have 3 apple computers at home and one pc. On all machines Wifi works fine, except my new alu Macbook Pro. Important note is, when im with my macbook on other place, office, caffe, *Wifi works fine. But when im at home, this macbook simply can't find ANY network, it's blind.* Interesting thing is, all other computers are several years old and WiFi works fine on them. My friend also bought a brand new macbook pro, and this machine also couldn't fine any network at my home, or in other case when it found networks, it couldn't connect and recieve error message "Connection timed out". I noticed there is new Wifi network in our range, is it possible that this network can cause "blindness" on new macbooks?

    *I have to say, I'm really glad you are trying to help guys.*
    Well, router is almost on default settings, SSID is brodcasted and i'm not filtering MAC adresses. I tried changed channels, diffrent types of security or no security, no luck.
    Guys, maybe i wrote it wrong, but this MacBook can't see ANY network. Around me there are 4-6 other networks which I'm able to see from other machines. So *problem is, this Macbook can't seen ANY network - not just mine.* BUT when i'm with this Macbook in office for example, or any other location, Wifi works....
    And one more important thing, this happened suddenly. I was able few months ago to find any WiFi around me with this Macbook. No changes to router, no changes to mac. Problem is somwhere in the middle...try to focus on this: why i'm not able to see any of those cca 6 networks around me. I really think it has to do something with distorted signal and Wifi card used in new macbooks. It's really sick, because all other machines works perfectly (MB 07, MBP 06, PC, iPhone 3g)
    I found a log on the router, and it's happening all the time:

  • What is the best way to have access from two separate computers on a network to a large group of data files and be able to modify the dat from each system?

    Have three systems: MacBook Air, iMac 27, running current software and an older iMac 24 running earlier version of OS-X.  All connected using Airport through a Linksys router.  Have a large number of folders (2800 equal to 1.5 TB) and need to be able to update from both MB Air and the 27 as well as have some sort of at least weekly backup.  What is the best approach to accomplishing this? This is a small home network used to store audio books for the blind.

    I would recommend a proper NAS.. Synology or QNAP are top brands.
    OR, getting another lightweight computer as a server. eg newest Mac Mini or second hand one with large storage, USB3 or thunderbolt.
    Apple routers could be pressed into service but are not designed for this task.. they will be slow, and without ability to backup.

  • Can't see network drive attached to AirPort

    Hi All
    I'm a newbie Mac user (just got my MacBook Pro last Thursday, in fact-- OS X 10.5.7). While I've got most of my issues doped out, I'm running into a problem connecting to a network drive that's plugged directly into my AirPort Extreme. I have three Windows systems (running XP and Vista) that can attach to the drive with no problem, but I can't figure out how to mount the drive under OS X.
    If I use the Finder and select the router under "Shared", the Finder just spins with the message "Connecting..." for ages until it times out.
    If I try to attach to a server, that doesn't work-- I've tried all the protocols in various flavors. Everything times out. I do get the message that the server or password is incorrect, but I never see a prompt for a password, so I am not sure what's going on there.
    In short, I'm stumped. When I open up the AirPort utility, and view the disk, the drive is attached-- it has a name, and it gives the correct statistics on used/free space. When I go to File Sharing, the checkbox for Enable File Sharing is clicked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    -Ed

    Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
    The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
    $2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
    The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
    Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

  • WiFi goes blind on 10.9 for mid 2012 MBA

    Hello folks, hello experts,
    this is going to be another thread with issue seen on previous versions of OS X.
    I have bought a brand new in a box MacBook Air 11 a week ago, old stock however, mid 2012. It was just a day or two after 10.9 Mavericks came out, so the first thing I did was going to AppStore (over WiFi), made the FW check for the SSD, applied the Update, then (from this part over Ethernet) Upgrade from 10.7.5 to 10.8.5. Right after that Mavericks 10.9.
    At home I have added my WiFi network and started to using the thing. Then following issue came out:
    After waking from sleep, the WiFi is searching for networks but cannot see ANY.
    What I did/tried:
    All the possible old tricks (stupid or not) I could find:
    - waking the MBA with power button
    - keep the Bluetooth turned off
    - deleted all preffered networks
    - deleted Keychain entries
    - moving system cofiguration files !
    (- aks about others, I might have forgotten some...)
    Nothing helped.
    From the On/Off tricks also all possible were tried:
    - Wifi
    - Sign out
    - Restart
    - Power
    Since the thing was new I had no problem to make fresh new install of 10.9 Mavericks. I did. Did not helped.
    The issue is still here.
    I have brought the MBA back to the shop, it went to authorized service. They have tried for one day (not sure, may be less) but they could not repeat the issue. They made Apple HW test, all OK. We agreed, when it comes back, they will try longer.
    Symptoms:
    - When MBA goes to sleep - seems like only the "deeper sleep" with disc unplugged - and then wakes does not see any available networks. WiFi is On and searching. Produces no error, behaves like everything is OK, just there are no networks around.
    - Probably it should be not an issue of my router as the MBA does not see any network, not even the ca. 8 newtorks from my neighbours
    - There is no 100% cure, the blindness seems to go away randomly. I mean, sometimes one trick helps, sometimes none (On/Off: WiFi, Sign Out, Restart, Power). I cannot tell why it then goes all right.
    - My network (from which it goes to sleep) is on TP-LINK router with excellent signal, set up as not broadcasting SSID, Auto channel, WPA2, Auto bgn. I tried using also broadcasting SSID, fixed channel, fixed N.
    - I cannot tell if it has a connection to a user, seems like not. There are 2: Administrator and Standard. Looks like the issue might relevant for both. I could update here.
    - It does not matter if the MBA is on battery or plugged in.
    - This issue never occured on any other device before (Windows PCs, Andorid devices, iPhone, MacBook 2009 - this one was not tested on my network after 10.9 update yet).
    Other information:
    - All possible updates for 10.9 are installed, including the one from this week.
    - No accounts are connected (no mail, no cloud).
    - From the installed software, there is TeamViewerQS and Skype - this one was and is not connected, Chrome web browser.
    - FireWall is turned on.

    My personal humble opinion told/tells me follwing:
    - At first I thought it was SW issue. That is why I did the clean re-install.
    - Afterwards it looked like a HW problem. That is why it went to AD/S.
    - Since all HW tests passed OK, I think again it could be only SW issue. The question is now, is it a WiFi firmware issue or OS X 10.9 issue ? Or both...
    Any input will be welcomed and highly appreciated. Thank you all in advance !

    Miaco,
    I have the same issue and it behaves as you say. I did the SMC reset and it solved the provlem...
    ...for a few days. Now the same behavior is back :-( I did again an SMC reset and also a PRAM reset but it did not help.
    I was again in contact with Apple chat and he also recommended to play with the locations, creating a new one. I haven't tested that, but will give it a try.
    The next thing if this does not help, was to to make a new installation via "archive - install". I will see...but it is very annoying because under Moutain Lion everything was fine. I'm not really motivated to make a new Installation since this is very time consuming....:-(
    So if I were you, give it a try to reset SMC, PRAM and play with locations...

  • Setting up a VoIP extension on a local network.

    With the help of the experts on this board I have successfully set up a VoIP phone extension on our private network. The questions & answers can be viewed at. http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=VoIP_Adapters&thread.id=3197 . For the benefit of anyone attempting a similar project, here is the completed setup.
    This installation is in a small motel in Te Anau, on New Zealand’s South island. The manager lives off site, and needs to be able to receive calls at night, and also transfer incoming calls to guest’s extensions through the hotels PBX. This necessitates a direct link to the PBX, rather than simply diverting the phone. One solution would have been to lease a circuit from the local Telco, but in NZ, this is very expensive, so another solution was sought. Fortunately there was an established wireless data link between the hotel and the managers residence, so VoIP seemed the obvious choice.
    The equipment used is a Linksys SPA3102 connected to an extension on the PBX, and a Linksys PAP2 at the remote end. The setup would work equally well if connected to a phone line, rather than the PBX.
    I’ll start the setup with the SPA3102.
    Connect the POTS line to the LINE port, and your switch/router to the INTERNET port. In my setup the Ethernet port is not used. Plug a standard phone into the Phone port. This is useful for testing and setting up. It’s not needed afterwards, unless you want a local phone.
    Open your web browser, and type the adaptor IP into the address bar. Go to Admin, and Advanced Settings.
    ROUTER SETUP
    WAN Setup Tab:
    Connection type: Static IP.
    Static IP Settings: The Network address on your local network (192.168.x.x)
    Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    LAN Setup Tab:
    LAN IP address: This is automatically selected to be on a different sub net from the WAN. Unless it conflicts with another address on your system you shouldn’t change it.
    Enable DHCP: No
    (Save these settings.)
    VOICE SETUP
    System Tab: No Changes
    SIP Tab: No Changes
    Provisioning Tab: No Changes
    Regional Tab: Mostly this sets the dial tones etc to match your local service. Unless you need them to be the same this shouldn’t need any changes
    The Hook Flash Timer Min & Max: should be set to the local values. The Defaults (.1 and .9) are OK for North America. Australia and New Zealand use .07 & .13. If you have trouble sending a hook flash, check these values against the local settings.
    DTMF playback level should be greater than zero. (I used 3)
    (Save these settings)
    Line 1 Tab:
    I don’t use Line 1 except for testing. During setup the line should be enabled. After the system is running OK, it can be disabled
    Line enabled yes
    SIP port 5060
    Proxies are not used in this setup.
    Register: No
    Make call without reg: yes
    Answer call without reg: yes
    User ID: 10? (you can use any number)
    Line 1 Tabupplementary services.
    Change Call waiting, 3 way Conf, and 3 way call, to no. (These interfere with sending a hook flash)
    Hook Flash Tx method: AVT
    (save these settings)
    PSTN Line Tab
    Line enable: yes
    SIP Port 5061 (default)
    Proxy: proxies are not used.
    Register: no
    Make call w/o reg yes
    Answer call w/o reg yes
    Display name: anything you like (VoIP gateway?)
    User ID: leave blank
    User password: leave blank
    Use auth ID: no
    Dial Plan 1: (<:*>S0). Switches to the outside line when * received.
    Dial Plan 2: (<:[email protected]:5060>S0). 11 is the user ID on the PAP2
    VoIP to PSTN enable: yes
    VoIP caller default DP: 1
    One stage Dialing: no
    VoIP users & Passwords.
    User 1 ID: 11. User1 DP: 1
    User 2 ID: 21 User 2 DP: 1
    User 3 ID 22 User 3 DP: 1
    (These are the line numbers of additional PAP2’s on our system)
    PSTN to VOIP Gateway enable: yes
    PSTN Caller ID none
    PSTN Caller Default DP: 2
    Detect PSTN long silence yes
    Detect VoIP long silence yes
    Detect Disconnect tone yes
    VoIP answer delay 0
    PSTN Answer delay 0
    PSTN to VoIP gain (Set these to adjust
    VoIP to PSTN gain the speech volume)
    Line in Use voltage: This should be set midway between the On Hook and Off Hook voltages, which you get from the Info screen. Most public phones are 47v on hook, and 7v off hook, so the setting should be 27v. My PBX is 27v on hook, and 7v off hook, so my setting is 17v. To read this, go to the Info screen and check the Line Voltage, then go Off hook (make a call), click the reload button on your browser, and check the line voltage again.
    (save these settings)
    This completes the setting up of the SPA3102.
    Now for the setup of the PAP2.
    Open your web browser, and type the PAP2 IP into the address bar. Go to Admin, and Advanced Settings.
    System tab:
    DHCP no
    Static IP 192.168.x.x (same sub-net as your network. Different adaptor number)
    Net Mask 255.255.255.0
    (save these settings)
    SIP Tab: no changes.
    Provisioning Tab: no Changes
    Regional Tab.
    Hook Flash Min & Max: change to your local settings if required.
    (save these settings)
    Line 1 & Line 2 Tabs.
    Whether you use Line 2 depends on whether you want to have 2 phones on the PAP2. All calls from the PSTN line of the SPA3102 will go to Line 1 of the PAP2 as per Dial Plan 2 on the SPA
    Line enable yes
    SIP port 5060 (line 1) & 5061 (line 2)
    Proxy Proxies are not used.
    Register no
    Make call w/o reg yes
    Answer call w/o reg yes
    Display name: anything you like
    User ID 11 (line 1) & 12 (line 2)
    (These are used to identify each line on the system)
    Call waiting: no
    3 way conf: no
    3 way call: no
    DTMF Tx method: AVT
    Dial Plan: This is the dial plan I use on line 1.
    (<:192.168.4.10:5061>S3|21S0<:@192.168.4.9:5060>|22S0<:@192.168.4.9:5061>)
    You will have to modify it for use on other lines, or other adaptors, and the IP addresses must match your system IP addresses. Here is an explanation.
    192.168.4.10:50613 All my adaptors are on subnet 4. 10 is the number of the SPA3102, and 5061 is the SIP port mapped to the PSTN line. If the handset is lifted, and no numbers are dialed the call will be transferred to the PSTN line after 3 seconds, and you will hear the outside dial tone. If within 3 seconds you dial either 21, or 22, the phone on either line 1, SIP port 5060, or Line 2, SIP port 5061, on adaptor 9 will ring. (If you only have one PAP2 then you will only need the first section of this dial plan.)
    Enable IP Dialing: yes
    (save these settings).
    User 1 and User 2 tabs: no changes
    That just about does it. All incoming calls from outside are received by the PBX, and after hours are sent to the extension connected to the SPA3102, which rings the phone on the remote PAP2 in the manager’s house. If the call is for a guest we can press the recall button (hook flash), dial the guest’s extension number, and transfer the call when they answer. As an added bonus we have a second PAP2 elsewhere on the network, and we can call between the 3 adaptors. All 3 adaptors have access to an outside line, though the PBX. I’m fairly sure it would also work through a VPN, which would mean we could take a VoIP phone anywhere in the world, and still be virtually ‘On site". I don’t know if that is a good thing or not.

    Hi HW,
    The PBX is a Panasonic TA308. There is no special interface to the PBX,  the  line port on the SPA3102 is simply plugged into an extension, like another phone. Anyone calling that extension will have the call routed through the SPA & PAP2 to the remote phone.
    The whole setup is totally seamless, & transparent to the user. As we are on a local network there is virtually no latency. There is a slight tendancy to echo,  but the echo suppression mostly takes care of that.
    THis has been a good exercise, and once I got my head around what I was trying to do, with your help,  it was pretty easy.  I think the hook flash timing would be the thing which gives most users a problem, as it seems to vary widely around the world. I was surprised at the difference between the US and NZ (.1 & .9 to .07 & .13).  There didn't seem to be any other critical differences.
    Now I am the local expert on VoIP   "In the Kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is King."
