Ciscoworks 2000 and Cisco 1242AG-LAP

hi
i have a problem with my cisco works,the software is manages all the devices in my network including the 19 1242AG-LAPs,even thogh the LAPs appear on the management software they are appearing as red which in normal conditions indicate a faulty device.How do i make sure that the access-points appear as green.The access-points are managed through the Cisco WLC 4402.

Make sure LMS 2.6 in order to get the AP1200 v3.0 package to support 1240 APs.

  • 1242AG Lap wont come up :error power low

    hi
    i have a cisco 1242AG lap that uses PoE and connects to a C2950-24 switch.When connected to the switch via a power injector or directly to the swicth with TP cable the access point does powerup but after that the reports that the power is too low.
    when i feed the lap with power without using PoE the it comes up though
    i suspect that this might have something to do with inline power in the swicth...please assist.

    The Cisco AP1242 requires a power source that can do IEEE 802.3af. Check the power capability of your particular switch, it needs to be able to supply 15 Watts. Many earlier powered switches can supply power but at a lesser wattage (say 6-8 Watts).
    The AP can learn from Cisco CDP what the capability of the switch is and if it can not provide enough power the AP will attempt to come up without radios active or warn that the power is too low.
    Again, the powered switch does NEED to be able to support IEEE 802.3af PoE and needs to be able to supply up to 15 Watts of power.

  • PoE for Cisco 1242AG and 1310G Access Points

    Dear All,
    we purchased a Cisco 1242AG and a 1310G Access Point and in the DataSheet it was specified that these APs support Power-over-Ethernet. The problem is we don't see any RJ-45 port in either AP which could be used for connecting the AP to an PoE Switch. Can you please tell us how we can connect these APs to an 802.11af compatible PowerBridge (by Intermec) ? Thanks.

    Hi Thorsten,
    The 1242 should be good to go but the 1310 is powered quite differently. Have a look;

    1300 Series Power
    Power
    The access point/bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter called the power injector). Dual-coax cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector to the access point/bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment, such as inside a building or vehicle. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coax cable interface to the access point/bridge.
    The power injector is available in two models:
    Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2 standard version (included with the access point/bridge)
    48-VDC input power
    Uses the 48-VDC power module (included with the access point/bridge)
    Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2T optional transportation version
    12- to 40-VDC input power
    Note The power injector and the power module must not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment. The power module must not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above a suspended ceiling.

    Dual coaxial cable to run from the power injector to the 1300. See attached notes:
    Cisco Aironet 1300 Series
    Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector
    The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Power Injector,converts the standard 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface that is suitable for weather protected areas to a dual F-Type connector interface for coax cables that are more suitable for harsh outdoor environments. The Power Injector also provides power to the outdoor unit over the same cables with a power discover feature and surge protection. To support longer cable runs from your wireless network switch or router, the Power Injector LR is designed to accommodate up to a 100 meter coaxial cable run plus 100 meters of indoor cat5 cable?enabling total cable runs up to 200 meters. The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge ships with the Power Injector LR2 and an AC power supply.

  • Cisco Prime network and cisco prime infrastructure

    Hi,
    What is the difference between Cisco Prime Network and Cisco Prime infrastructure.
    Please advice.

    I assume you are asking about Cisco Prime LAN Management System (LMS) vs. Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI).
    LMS is currently the leading Cisco offering for wired infrastructure management. It is the evolution of the earlier CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoWorks RWAN CiscoWorks 2000, CWSI, VLAN Director, original CiscoWorks classic etc. products going back almost 20 years.
    PI is the equivalent Cisco offering for wireless LANs and is the successor to NCS and WCS products.
    The overlap and confusion comes from the fact the Cisco is positioning PI as the overall wireless and wired management platform and gradually introducing wired network management features to make it equal (and eventually exceed) LMS's capabilities.
    There is a comparison table here that shows the current differences. A major new release of PI (2.0) is due out shortly which will close many (but not all) of the gaps on that table.

  • Unable to install SQL server 2000 and 2005 on Satellite A205-s5831

    Hello everyone.
    I Needs some helps from all of you.
    I have Toshiba Laptop Satellite A205-S5831.
    Its Have Windows Vista Home Premium.
    And I am unable to install SQL server 2000 and 2005.
    I also Unable to Install Windows XP SP2.
    Problem is SATA driver.
    Plz Help me ...!
    Response me

    Hi
    The Windows XP needs a SATA driver if you want to install it on the notebook with SATA HDD controller.
    The SATA driver can be found in the Intel Storage Manager.
    I would recommend using the nLite program to include a SATA driver into the new Windows XP CD and then to boot from the new created XP CD.
    Here you will find all details regarding the nLite:

    Regarding SQL server issue;
    Maybe you will be able to install in on Windows XP. Possibly there is a compatibility issue between the Vista and the SQL server software

  • Routing issue between Cisco Nexus and Cisco 4510 R+E Chassis

    We have configured Cisco Nexus 7K9 as core and Cisco 4510 R+E as access switches for Server connectivity.
    We are experiencing problem in terms of ARP learning and Ping issues between Cisco Nexus and end hosts.

    Hi,
    So you have N7k acting as L3 with servers connected to 4510?.
    Do you see the MAC associated with failing ARP in 4510?. Is it happening with all or few servers?. Just to verify if it is connectivity issue between N7k and 4510, you can configure an SVI on 4510 and assign address from same raneg (server/core range) and perform a ping.
    This will help narrow down if issue is between server to 4510 or 4510 to N7k.
    Thanks,
    Nagendra

  • Excel activex call changes between Office 2000 and Office XP. How does one manage that?

    I have several Active X calls from within a VI. One in particular is
    the Excel Cell Value property node in Office 2000. MS has decided to
    call it Excel Cell Value2 in Office XP.
    I have built and exe on a machine with Office 2000 and can run the code
    on a machine with Office XP, but I can not build on the machine with
    Office XP. I can also run a VI with that call
    on the Office XP box, but if I mass compile the VI I get the broken arrow.
    I guess I am confuesed as to why it can run but not compile. If the
    ActiveX call is not there for the compile why is it there for the run?
    If I can expect this does it work in reverse where I
    build on an Office XP box and run on a Office 2000 box?

    These problems you are experiencing do stem from the ActiveX changes between Excel versions.  When you mass compile LabVIEW checks to see if everything is linked correctly, including ActiveX portions of your code.  Since there are slight changes the LabVIEW compiler detects something is wrong, but cannot isolate the problem.  You might need to force a recompile of that VI.  Check out this link.

  • Transfer VOIP Calls Between Cisco Desk Phone and Cisco Jabber For IPhone 9.5

    Does anyone know how to transfer an active voip call from a Cisco IP Desk Phone to Cisco Jabber for IPhone?  I can transfer a call from Cisco Jabber for IPhone to my Cisco IP Desk Phone no problem.  I put the call on hold and then click "Resume" on my Cisco IP Desk Phone.  However I cannot do the same but the other way around.  If I put the call on hold on my Cisco IP Desk Phone, I see "no active call" on my Jabber client.  The only information I could find slighlty relevant was using the Mobility Key/Remote Destination Profile feature however this defeats the object as this will forward to an external number, e.g. mobile and I just want to transfer the call within the VOIP environment between the two devices that are using the same directory number.
    I am using Cisco Call Manager 9.1(2), Cisco Presence 9.1 and Cisco Jabber for IPhone 9.5.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Paul Parker.

    Did you ever find an answer to this ?
    I am seeing the same behavior and trying so see if I can put calls on hold and pick them up both ways also.
    The only answer I seem to have found is to use park instead
    That would/should work but I would just prefer to hold/unhold
    Just not sure why we would not be able to hold/unhold on what is essentially a "shared" line
    Does anyone have this working for them ?

  • JDBC to access SQL server 2000 and Oracle.

    hi,
    I have the following requirement. I have an oracle database which contain sql data including BLOB and CLOB. Firstly, I should migrate the data to a SQL server 2000 database. That is, i should be able to have two databases, one on oracle and the other on sql server 2000. the two databases should contain the same data, which includes BLOB data. I guess, sql server 2000 does not have a BLOB data type. What is the equivalent data type i can use to save the Oracle's BLOB data in SQL server?? Should it be image type?
    After i migrate the data to the sql server 2000 database, i should be able to connect to the two databases, oracle and sql server 2000, using the same JDBC code to retrieve, insert, update and delete the data. What are the drivers that i should use. I guess, the MS JDBC driver does not support BLOB and CLOB. Is there a driver that can support BLOB for sql server 2000 and is also free???!
    Kindly help... Thanks.
    Arthi.

    Hi,
    I am new to jdbc... so, pls forgive my ignorance...
    I shall try to map a BLOB data column in oracle to an IMAGE data column in sql server 2000. I am using oracle jdbc driver and microsoft's jdbc driver for connecting to the databases.
    My question is, can i use setBlob() method in the preparedstatement in jdbc code for setting data to the sql server 2000 image column?
    rs.getBlob() and preparedstatement.setBlob()code works fine for oralce's BLOB column using oracle's jdbc driver.... Will the same jdbc code work for sql server 2000's image column using microsoft's jdbc driver??
    Kindly help.

    My daughter just got a Nano for x-mas and is not recognized by old I-tunes software. I assume I need a newer version. However, 8.x that is advertised as latest version does not mention Windows 2000. I can't find any info on what version of ITunes I need or if there is one even compatible with both 2000 and the Nano. Can anyone tell me? I am incredibly frustrated by the lack of info on this and the lack of info in the user's manual. I see there are several different versions/generations of Nano, but have no idea how I am supposed to know what I have. I am not computer illiterate, but find this site poor at explaining questions like; how to tell what generation of Nano one owns, what version of I Tunes is necessary to synch with that version of Nanao, and is that version of ITunes compatible with ones operating system.
    Can someone tell me what version of ITUNES I need (or if it is even possible)and where I can find it? Thank you if anyone can provide this info that Apple chooses not to make easily accessible.

    So does this mean the IPOD is useless unless I get a whole new operating system so I can get the latest ITUNES?
    I also found a fact sheet about what to do to re-install USB drivers if the IPOD isn't recognized by the computer (which it isn't), followed the instructions and it still is not recognized! Is there a place those drivers can be downloaded so I could try something other than ITUNES for putting music on?
    I still contend that MAC does a horrible job of explaining these issues to people when they are buying. I've spent about 4 hours looking at help pages and have yet to see one that mentions minimum system requirements (ie Windows 2000 is not supported) and what, if anything can be done about it. I spent about a half hour trying to locate an e-mail help/customer service address to ask these questions and let them know about my frustration, but all I could find was the phone number, for which I only get one call! I don't have time to spend this much time trying to track this info down. My first computer was a MAC and talked for years about how great they were, but this lack of easy access to basic info/customer service has soured me on them. Sorry about the rant. Thanks for any help. While I am not a computer nerd, I work with them enough to know how to get around.

  • Shuffle problem going between 2000 and XP?

    I recently got my girlfriend a shuffle and it worked fine with my computer, which is running 2000 and has the latest iTunes updates and iPod updater. The only problem I have on my computer using her Shuffle or my Nano is the amount of songs I can transfer at once (which is usually 20, 10 on shuffle).
    Anyway, I'm not sure if Shuffle was the latest version out of the box or not, but it didn't need updating from my computer, unless it was automatic. She took it home to try it on her computer (running XP) and iTunes wanted to format it. I gave her the updates off the site (since she doesn't have internet) and told her to try them since I didn't think it was needed. She tried that and it still managed to screw it up. So I had her restore it and that worked, but she decided after she got it to work to plug it back in again to play with the songs and it had to be restored again and then restored a few more times after that.
    So I was wondering if there was anything I can do to fix it, like uninstall everything that deals with iPod and install the version that came with Shuffle then reinstall the new version over it along with the updater? Take it away because she's apparently bad with technology and have her only deal with my computer for updating her song list? Or was there another way to make it so she won't be restoring shuffle everytime she changes computers? Since I figure it should be compatible enough to go between different versions of windows with different versions of iTunes and still work with no problems.

    That's probably it, since she didn't have any of the music because it was with me. From what I remember, she went around that, and used restore after she backed up all the music. But from what I remember it takes no time at all to a few minutes to restore my Nano, but the Shuffle doesn't have a screen to tell you what's going on (and I find the updater is unreliable with info sometimes).
    She has told me she did the same thing about 20 times before it started to work. So she must've been restoring and thinking 'this isn't doing anything' and ripped it out and eventually gave up and let it do it's thing.
    But I'll have to deal with it next time when she tries to sync it up with my iTunes, so maybe it won't be a big problem this time around.
