Compatibility question with Nortel phones

Hello,
I just introduced a Cisco SP200-48P switch into our Nortel environment. When I plug the phone into a POE port, the port is unresponsive (doesn't light up), and the Nortel phone doesn't power up.
The data aspect of the port is fine, when I plug a computer into the switchport.
Am I running into a compatibility issue with Nortel phones, or should they work just fine with the switch right out of the box.
Thank you,
John

Hi jdamone, please verify you're using a POE port. The left side of the port banks are POE. The right side are not. If the 1-12 and 25-36 would be POE on a 48 port switch. And yes, if the phone is 802.3af compliant, it should work out of the box, no problems. If you're connecting to the correct port and verified the wire and the phone is POE then the next step would be to upgrade the switch firmware to latest version.

NAC L2 OOB VG with Nortel Phones

Hi,
Will users behind the Nortel IP phones be authenticated by NAC in L2 OOB VG mode.
thanks
sathappan

Yes, assuming that the relevant switch ports are controlled by the CAM. Make sure that the phones are excluded from authentication by their MAC addresses (work out some valid prefix and exclude them from authentication) otherwise you will see authentication loops.

Hardware/Software Compatibility Question With Wireless Repeater

Hey Discussions,
This is a simple question that's more along the lines of a hardware issue. I havea wireless connection in my building that I need to boost so I will be able to have a stronger and faster connection. From what I've gathered in my newbie networking skills, I'll need a wireless repeater to accomplish this task.
I need two things from the masses:
A suggestion for a wireless repeater (preferably one that's universal, as I don't know anything about the router that is supplying the Internet...don't ask.)
And a simple way to set this up so it will be able to work with both my Mac mini and a laptop running Windows XP.
Sound easy enough, yet I can't figure anything out. Any help will be appreciated!

You're heading down a slippery slope. Be careful.
Frist, define why you think you need to boost the signal.
When you're connected, how many 'bars' do you have on your AirPort signal strength meter? If that's low, then fair enough, otherwise something else is going on and a repeater might not help.
For example, your connection could be slow because there are many people using the wireless network (the wireless bandwidth is shared between all wireless clients.
It could also be slow because your upstream link (from the base station to the rest of the network) is saturated
It could also be slow if the server you're using is overloaded (especially if you're using a proxy server that's proxying all your web traffic since that would affect all sites, not just one).
If you have a good signal then a repeater (e.g. WDS) is going to degrade performance, not increase it, so it's important to determine the cause before you try to implement a 'fix'.

Compatibility question with Dreamweaver 8/Coursebuilder

We are putting together our first web-based training using
Dreamweaver 8 with the Coursebuilder extension. We aren't sure just
how involved we will be in web-based training. If we get quite
involved in it and later want to use Authorware, will we be able to
open and use our Dreamweaver 8/Coursebuilder files? Thanks for any
advice.

Well, kinda.
You can load the IE ActiveX contol in Authorware. You could
then use
that control to display the HTML pages. I'm not sure what
that would
really help...but could be that if you have informational
pages you like
the layout of and don't want to recreate in Authorware, you
could use
the ActiveX control to show and navigate between those pages,
then
hide/erase the control when you want to 'return the stage' to
Authorware
for whatever interactions or other information you want to
present.

I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland. Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?

I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland. Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?

Bad idea. There are no supported iPhone carriers in Iceland, thus some features may or may not work. Further, there will be no warranty or support for a US purchased iPhone in Iceland...your friend will be on their own. If you still want to go down this road, make sure you purchase an officially unlocked iPhone(GSM model) directly from Apple.

Monitor Compatibility Question

I plan on purchasing a Mac Pro with the Radeon X1900 XT card in the near future. I have been shopping around for a good monitor, and the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP (found here: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku= 320-4335) caught my eye. However, at the bottom of the tech specs, it lists only PC under "Compatibility." I know of other people who have used Dell monitors for their Macs, and this monitor does have DVI, so I don't see why it would not be compatible with the Mac Pro. Does anyone know definitively whether or not this monitor would work?

Hello,
You should be just fine. The majority of monitors are listed as compatible with PC's only. The simple reason is that the manufacturers don't care to test them with Macs and have all their resources devoted to supporting what they know.
If they mentioned that it would work with a Mac, then they would be stuck trying to answer your questions on the phone if you needed help. Since they don't use Macs, and don't maintain a staff of Mac trained people, it is easier to just omit official support. That way they can just tell you that they don't support Macs and hang-up the phone.
I've been using PC monitors with my Macs since before Apple even supported PC monitors at all (you used to have to buy monitors with Apple specific cables). I would just use an adapter to convert the PC connector to connect to the Mac video port.
In all my years, I've never found a PC monitor that would not work with my Mac. And, that still holds true today. I've used several low-end monitors with my current machines, and all work fine.
I've even got a bargain basement DVI monitor connected right-now, and it works perfectly.
Basically, if you want official support and a guarantee, then buy a monitor that specifically lists Mac compatibility.
But, if you are willing to accept that their phone support will avoid helping you, then go with any brand you like.
Understand that Dell is primarily interested in selling and supporting Dell computers. They have no interest in fielding calls from Mac users because they are not going to be familiar with OS X. Naturally, they will list PC compatibility because they know Windows very well.
But, you should also understand that the only difference between an Intel-based Mac and an Windows PC, is that the Intel-based Mac can also run OS X. Otherwise, they are just different brands of computers that use pretty much the same hardware.
I hope this helps.

3G - 4S Compatibility Questions

I've had my iPhone 3G for almost 3 years and now want to upgrade to the new 4S. I have a couple of questions concerning compatibility between my current phone and the 4S:
Is the charger/docking connector compatible? I use this not only for syncing and charging, but also to connect to my iHome speaker device. I don't want to have to replace the latter as well as all my cables (including the charging cable for my car).
Is the new Bluetooth 4.0 compatible with my current Bluetooth 2? I pair not only with headsets, but also with my car.
Thanks.

No, my statement is correct. Read the first 4 words if the sentence, The APPLE cable is still compatible. Older 3rd party docks may not be.
Although the 1st gen iPhone and iPod touch had FireWire charging capability in the dock connector for compatibility with older cables and docks, the supplied cable was USB and the same as current. Only the 1st gen iPods (circa 2001) were Firewire only.

Jabra PRO setup with office phone, iPhone, and Skype...

Hello.
MacBook Pro 2012 w/ Retina. iPhone 6. Nortel networks phone. I want a headset...
At the office, I get calls to my main phone 20% of the time, my iPhone 60% of the time, and I call internationally using Skype the rest 20%. I hate, absolutely hate, holding either Nortel phone to my ear or the iPhone. I have a decent headset for Skype but it's wired which forces me to sit in the chair for an hour and I hate that as well. I'm just full of it, huh? :-)
I have this phone at the office:
Now, I've been reading a bit about this:
Jabra PRO 9470 Mono Wireless Headset with Touchscreen for Deskphone, Softphone & Mobile Phone
Here's amazon.com link for some details: http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-Wireless-Touchscreen-Deskphone-Softphone/dp/B002LARY AG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420853696&sr=8-1&keywords=JABRA+PRO
And here's the link to the manufacturer's website: http://www.jabra.com/Products/Wireless_Headsets/Jabra_PRO__9400_Series/Jabra_PRO _9470
Do you have any recommendations about this product? Does it really work as advertised?
Any advice or help would be more than greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Greg

There's a 106 reviews and 37 questions about it on Amazon. Why wouldn't you just read those?

Is the bundled Whatsapp which came with the phone by default any different from a downloaded version from Google PlayStore?

Greetings!
I'm a noob and not so much of a techie, henceforth I would greatly appreciate your input.
Referring to the above matter, it was stated on my Xperia Ion that I would need to update Whatsapp to the latest version from Google PlayStore in order to use it. Fair enough, I got onto PlayStore and found it. There was no "update" button anywhere, there were only "uninstall" and "open".
Now obviously when i select "open" this will open the app, which will bring me back to where it says that I'll need an updated version.
The other option I can choose from is "uninstall", which I pressed, and then the "install" option came soon after. Installed it and ran it without problems whatsoever.
However, I'm wondering, upon the installation of Whatsapp from PlayStore, it was mentioned that the app is free for this year, and that I'll need to pay for it upon the expiry of free period in the event I intend to continue using it, which shall be next year.
Now my question (finally):- With regards to the initial outdated version of Whatsapp that came with the phone (which I have deleted), will I need to pay for the app upon the completed usage of a year too, similar to the newer one I've downloaded from PlayStore?
Please advise. Cheers!

it's the same thing, not all phones have the preloaded app, this varies by region and/or carrier

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems?

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers / docking station and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems? Both worked fine until the update...

Okay. I got it working again by setting it up as a new phone instead of just syncing. Then I backed up. All is good today.

Camera's RTSP Function not compatible with most phones.

Aside from the usual array of phones that don't support rtsp which cannot access linksys cams... add the new enV3 which can stream m.youtube.com and has rtsp but are still unable to load the stream. If someone would like to prove me wrong I'll paypal them 20 bucks... drop in the bucket compared to how much money ive spent just to try and check up on my cat while I'm on the road! I guarantee it's not my network because I can remotely view the rtsp over VLC and my sister's blackberry works sporadically.
I repeat... do not consider RTSP a selling point on the linksys cameras... the technology is too new and just doesn't seem to be tested on... REAL PHONES or REAL NETWORKS???!??
Edit: Every verizon phone I've seen tested for linksys cams are now discontinued!
Message Edited by sloth on 10-11-2009 06:35 PM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Back from a fresh visit to a Verizon factory store and had a chance to test my network on the enV Touch which is the successor to the Voyager (I repeat... a discontinued phone!). I have a valid complaint with both Verizon and Linksys for this reason... Their sales and tech all insisted the enV3 had mobile web parity with the touch, being a good consumer I automatically don't believe them and get a second opinion on this forum (which insisted m.youtube.com meant automatic compatibility {that turned out to be false as well} even though it really is just a coincidence). So again, there seems to be no way of checking compatibility without testing the phone physically (which in my opinion should be handled by linksys). If someone with the power to write some firmware knows how to increase the compatibility of the rtsp feed with more mobile browsers it might be a good idea if theyre going to keep this product line alive! Youtube rtsp working and linksys rtsp not working on one of the most popular new verizon web phones just seems like a maximum gain firmware fix opportunity. Home Server I appreciate the help and getting the information out there I just want to make sure more people don't fall into a dissapointed state over an otherwise improving company (I love the new line of routers linksys!)

Has anyone else had any problems with their phone over heating and shutting down?

I've had my phone for less a month and I've already had issues with my iphone 4. On several occassions it has overheated and shut down. On one occasion I put the phone in the side pocket of my purse where, I also had a charger for my camera. When I removed the phone, it was hot...not warm but hot! On another occasion I was at the movies and put the phone face down on my lap, at one point i touched the phone and again it was hot. When the movie was over, and I looked at the phone it had shut down....this has happened a few times more since then. I've also had problems with the phone shutting down on it's own. I took it to my local apple store and the representative looked at my phone and ran a diagnostic check for me. He said the everything on my phone looked normal and that my phone probably needs a "breaking in" period...to give it a couple of months...He really didn't tell me much more...I don't use my phone for more than the basics...calling, texting, and some mild app use...I don't understand how I can be having these problems when I've had my phone for less than a month...The rep tried selling my the Apple insurance. He told me that through ATT I only have 30 days, and I would be better off getting this insurance. I feel very dissastisfied with the service I got. I was done with my appointment within 10 mins, I don't think the representative took the time to listen to my concerns.

Thanks for your reply, but I guess whether this was a silly question is a matter of opinion. That is the whole purpose having these forums...so that people can post their questions, silly or not. Maybe you are an Apple expert or have "techy" knowledge, but I don't. So what may be silly or stupid for you, can be completely different for a novice apple consumer like me. If you must know, I did do my research, and I did do the basic trouble shooting.All to no avail. I took my phone to the apple store, had it diagnosed and was told some very inaccurate information. I ended up going back today, and got a second opinion. This person actually took the time to talk to me and to better explain Applecare and my warranty. She also told me that there is no such thing as a "break in" period, and when there is a shutting down issue, even after a "restore" that it was better to get it replaced. Which is what she did. She replaced my phone. Obviously, the first person, by his own admission, was too tired and ready to go home to actually take the time to explain and offer other options...

E51 SIP connection with Nortel CS1000

I need to setup E51 as SIP client with Nortel CS1000 rel 5.
The client register itself but when the call start the phone freeze itself. I can only work with volume and on/off .
There is someone that try to do this type of connection ?
Thanks a lot
Pietro

Pietro,
Same problems here, with my E51
(100.34.20 RM-244 (232.02) 0558179)
I can register my phone to an Asterisk server and make outgoing calls. The phone also rings on incoming calles, but as soon as I want to answer the call, the phone freezes and the only thing that helps is to remove the battery.
Cheers,
Marco

I have taken over 9999 pictures with my phone and it is now creating duplicate names for the pictures starting back at 0001 making it difficult to manually upload my photos like i always have. How do i fix this?

(I tried to just write this as a reply to someone who had already asked the question whos problem was magically solved after posting the question and the site was not allowing me to post to it so here I am)

Additionally, when I try to sort the photos by date to easily extract the newest photos which I have not yet uploaded, it is unable to put them in correct order regardless of the fact that the date is correct. Only the videos end up in chronological order for some reason while the photos stay in order by name.
