Configuring Express for a lighting console

I work in the film industry and I am trying to configure my airport express so that I can remotely operate a Grand MA console with my iPhone (MA provides an app for this). I am trying to use the ethernet port as the connection to the console, which means that the Express is not getting an internet connection. The Express does not seem to like this as all I get is the flashing yellow light, and I don't see the console on the iPhone. Does anybody have any configuration tips that they would wish to pass on? Thanks

Since the AX is not an 802.11n version, you will need to configure both AirPorts for a WDS.
Let's double-check your WDS configuration ...
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
Main Base Station Setup - AEBS
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
o Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the
default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the base station you want to connect to this base station.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup - AX
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.
(ref: Pages 42-46 of "Designing AirPort Networks.)
I noticed that your instructions say to set the security to none. Is that mandatory?
No, it was only meant to make the initial setup easier and to verify that it worked. The next stage would be to enable encryption once the WDS was verified. However, enabling encryption could also be done during the WDS setup.

  • Configure LWAP for DCHP via console

    I need to delete the static IP address and enable DHCP on some 3500 series LAPs that are not attached to our network.  Will running the following commands via a console session to the AP accomplish this?
    clear capwap ap ip address
    clear capwap ap ip default-gateway

    or do I just need to clear the private-config file and reboot?  I'd perfer not to do this.

    Yes, If you just want to delete the static IP address (& leave the controller address learnt by AP as it is) then you can use the below two lines. You cannot do write mem as it is CAPWAP AP.
    clear capwap ap ip address
    clear capwap ap ip default-gateway
    If you do the below, it won't remove statically configured IP, So it won't achieve what you want.
    "clear capwap private-config"

    Hi,
    I want to install a secondary site in my Configuration Manager 2012 R2. I want to install the SQL Server Express in a diferente drive. To do so, I want to previous install the SQL Server Express.
    Can I use the SQL Server 2014 Express?
    Thanks in advance...

    Sorry, going to be blunt here, but this is why "best practices" are useless. If you don't know the "why" of the best practice and when to apply it, it will cause you to do things that simply aren't necessary (or even harmful) by
    blindly trying to apply them. It is simply is not necessary for secondary sites for perf or any other reason. Also, if this is a VM, then your virtual disks will most likely be on the same physical disks which means you do *not* in any way gain any perf benefits
    anyway (perf benefits come from have additional physical spindles -- logical separation is just that *logical*).
    You have far bigger challenges ahead of you, push the easy button on this one, let ConfigMgr deploy SQL Express for you and move on.

  • Providing configuration file for SQL 2012 Express installation which installing HPC 2012 R2

    Hi guys,
    I need to know if there is any way to provide configuration file for SQL 2012 Express installation which installing HPC 2012 R2?
    I am scripting installation on HPC 2012 R2 with default SQL 2012 Express edition but I am not able to find any option to provide a configuation file for SQL 2012 Express installaiton.
    Thanks,
    Vivs.

    Hi Vivs,
    As my understanding, you want to generate a configuration file and install SQL Server 2012 express edition using that configuration file.
    If that is the case, firstly, you could generate the configuration file following the steps below since express edition is run in AutoAdvance mode which skips "Ready to Install" page.
    1.Double-click SQL Server installation file in your local drive, you will see that the file will be extracted to a temporary folder. Please make a note of what directory it is extracted to. For example, it could be in c:\ followed by a folder name which
    will be a set of random letters and numbers "gy7h8hjhhj67rfs7".
    2.Cancel installation. Then click on the Start button on the task bar, click run, type the command cmd.exe, and go to that directory via cmd.
    3.Execute the following command: setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /UIMODE=Normal
    4.Follow the wizard through to the 'Ready to Install' page. The path to the configuration file is specified in the 'Ready to Install' page in the configuration file path section.
    5.Cancel the setup without actually completing the installation, to generate the INI file.
    Secondly, to install SQL Server using Command Prompt, go to the SQL Server installation media root (the temporary folder) from the command prompt and specify the ConfigurationFile.ini as a parameter as shown below.
    Setup.exe /ConfigurationFile=ConfigurationFile.INI
    For more information about the process, please refer to the article:

  • Configuring reports for express data(2)

    We are in the process of configuring reports for express data.
    In this regard we have done the following steps:
    1.In the machine A reports 9i developer suite release 2 has been installed on Windows 2000
    Professional Edition with the following utilities - (a) Oracle Reports Builder and runtime
    support,(b) Oracle Express Connection Editor and (c) Oracle SNAPI are installed.
    2.Express Server 6.3.4 has been installed on Windows 2000 Professional Edition in machine
    B with Remote Operation SNAPI 6.3.4.0.
    3.Oracle 8i has been installed on Solaris and the Express Support Administrator and User
    Accounts have created and the xrb_admin.sql and xrb_user.sql have been run through the
    respective accounts.
    Queries
    1.We have still not run the Express Oracle8 External Procedures on the Oracle8
    gateway. Should we run this in order to get Express Data in Reports9i incase of the General
    Maintenance where the Express data fetches the data from the Oracle8 gateway on the fly
    ?We are also not able find the Express Oracle8 External Procedures downloads after
    extensive search on OTN.Please guide as to where can we find the downloads.
    2.What are the configurations settings that have to be done in the tnsnames.ora,sqlnet.ora
    and listener.ora ?

    Ramakrishnan,
    Express connectivity for Oracle9i Reports is installed by default as one of your pluggable data sources and it communicated directly with Express, which is a large change over Reports 6i in which you needed an Oracle8i database to talk to the Express database.
    For Oracle9i Reports, you need to have:
    1 - Express installed 6.3 or later.
    2 - Oracle9i Reports
    3 - The connection dialog (which is documented in the release notes if you need to set this up)
    That's it. When you click on the Express PDS to access the data, it will read the connection dialog information and you need to supply the logon information to the Express database.
    You should also look at the help topic for Express and you will find all the necessary documentation on configuring Reports and how to connect.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 reporting error: "The DefaultValue expression for the report parameter 'UserTokenSIDs' contains an error: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)"

    Hi,
    I have two SCCM environments under same active directory domain and one service account have been used for SCCM configurations on both the environments (QA and PRODUCTION). I am facing similar error as mentioned above while trying to fetch reports on
    PRODUCTION site, but the QA site is working fine, though same service account have been used for configuring both. While looking at the reportserverservice_<date> log on my Production DB server i see the following error
    "processing!ReportServer_0-3!2124!01/02/2015-09:09:30:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ProcessingAbortedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ProcessingAbortedException: An error has occurred during

    My DB and SCCM primary site are different and the reorting services point is installed on remote DB server. Please help me resolving the issue.
    Troubleshooting performed:
    1.Disabled the registry key 'EnableRbacReporting' from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\SRSRP to 0 and then restarted SSRS service and the reporting worked for some minutes after that the registry key reverted back to 1 automatically and
    reporting started throwing errors again.
    2. Checked with the permissions on DB whether or not 'sysadmin' role is assigned to the SCCM service account.
    3. re-registered the SQL management Provider WMI class.
    mofcomp.exe “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof”

    Hi All,
    Finally found exact solution to the reporting error.
    Error: while launching SCCM reports (both from Console and web based) an unexpected error occured with error message as "The DefaultValue expression for the report parameter ‘UserTokenSIDs’ contains an error: A specified logon session does not exist.
    It may already have been terminated. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)"
    Solution: This is password replication issue for the domain account used to configure reporting services point in SCCM. If your SQL SSRS reporting services instance and databse runs with local default account whereas the reporting services point on SCCM
    primary site is configured with domain account, (As in My case) you need to perform the following in order to get rid of the error.
    Launch 'Reporting Services Configuration Manager' from the SQL SSRS box(either Local or Remote), Connect to Report Server Instance->Go to 'Execution Account' tab->Specify the 'Execution Account' as domain account and password which is used to configure
    Reporting Services Point in SCCM Primary Site, and then click apply.
    Now Lauch the report either way (Web based or from Console), the error will disappear and all your default reports will execute perfectly as before.

  • Using AP Express for Printing ONLY

    Hey Discussions,
    I want to purchase an Airport Express for the sole purpose (right now) of printing. Is it possible to use the Express without an Internet connection?
    Thanks,
    Mateo

    Yes, you can use it as a client to an existing wireless network for printing or streaming iTunes.
    AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - Client Mode Setup
    - Plug the AX into a power outlet.
    - On your computer, join the wireless network created by AX.
    - Open AirPort Admin Utility. (Mac users: Find it in /Applications/Utilities/. Windows users: On the Start menu, point to All Programs and click AirPort.)
    - After AirPort Admin Utility opens, the name of your AX appears in the list. Select it, then click Configure.
    - Enter the administrator password if prompted.
    - Click the AirPort tab.
    - Enter a name for your AX in the Name field. (This name is how it will appear in AirPort Admin Utility; it may be different from the AirTunes remote speaker name. (Note that AirPort Setup Assistant does not allow you to differentiate these names, but AirPort Admin Utility does.)
    - If your AX does not already have an administrator password, click the Change Password button to enter one. This password can be different from any network password, and is used for just changing settings on AX.
    - In the same pane, under the AirPort Network heading, change the Wireless Mode from "Create a Wireless Network (Home Router)" to "Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)."
    - Type the name of the wireless network you want to join in the Network Name field. (Note: If you're using AirPort Admin Utility in Mac OS X, you may be able to choose the network from a pop-up menu. This is the name (or SSID) of your current wireless network with the Trendnet router.)
    - If the wireless network is password protected, you will need to enter the password. (Mac users: Click Security Options, choose the level of password encryption from the Wireless Security pop-up menu, then enter the password. When finished, click OK. Windows users: Click Wireless Security, choose the level of password encryption from the Wireless Security menu, then click "Set WEP Password" to enter the password. When finished, click OK.)
    - Click the Music tab to enter the name that will appear in iTunes as your AirTunes remote speakers. You can also enter a password to prevent others from streaming music to your speakers.
    - Finally, click Update to send your new settings to AX.
    Once the AX has had a minute or so to restart, it should join the existing wireless network, as indicated by its status light turning solid green.

  • Using Airport Express for wireless printing and possibly streaming music

    I have had the toughest time figuring out this Airport Express. It seems there are so many different ways to set it up. I've tried to read forums but just can't seem to wrap my head around what I need to do. I tried awhile back to join my network wirelessly but was having problems.
    I don't really care about extending my current network. My internet service is through Verizon Fios and the router they provided works just fine and don't have any issues with connecting anywhere in the house. I bought the AE to be able to print wirelessly and stream music from my iMac in another room.
    So to print wirelessly obviously the printer has to be plugged in to the AE, but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is? When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
    My first priority is to print wirelessly. If I can get it to work It'd be cool to stream music from my iMac. Obviously the AE needs to be where the speakers are, but again, does the AE have to plugged in to the router? And again, is this done through my existing network? Or do I have to stream music through a 2nd network? I apologize if i'm asking the same questions that have been asked in previous forums, I just haven't been successful thus far so wanted to see what response or tips I could get. Thanks.
    My existing network has "WPA Personal" security set up on it if you need to know that.

    but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is?
    If you configure the Express correctly to "join" your FIOS wireless network, you can position it anywhere that it will receive a good, strong wireless signal.
    The trick to setting the Express up to "join" is that you must choose exactly the same type of security for the Express as your main router is using. This is tricky when you are using devices from two different manufacturers because they often use different names for the same thing.
    For example, when you say that the FIOS is setup to WPA Personal, we really need more information. There's usually a TKIP or AES associated with WPA. You have two choices on the Express for WPA settings, WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal. We can only guess which one might be the correct match for your FIOS network and if you don't choose the right setting, the Express cannot join the network and you have to start the configuration all over again from scratch and try the other setting.
    Does your Fios have a setting for WPA2 Personal? Some manufacturers label this WPA2-PSK (AES). Or, maybe you find that your FIOS is using WPA-PSK (TKIP), which is the same thing as Apple WPA/WPA2 Personal. It's confusing. That's why we tell users to choose wireless gear from the same manufacturer. It's much easier when two devices talk the same language.
    When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
    If you have a compatible printer plugged into the USB port on the AirPort Express and have "installed" the printer by setting it up, you will be able to print over your existing wireless network.
    First things first. You need to get the Express setup to "join" correctly and get a green light. Then, tackle the printer setup.

  • Airport Express shows green light but NO Internet

    I am using a Macbook Pro and an Airport Express for my Wi-Fi.
    I have recently changed my Internet Service Provider. The new ISP provided me with the following information:
    1.IP address: 172.100.11.17
    2. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    3. Default Gateway:172.100.11.1
    4. Preferred DNS: 172.16.0.1
    5. Alternate DNS: 8.8.8.8
    My ISP told me to enter this information manually unlike my previous ISP who used DHCP.
    I entered this information by going to system preferences >> Network >> Advanced  >> TCP/IP >> Configure IPv4: Using Manually. I also entered the preferred and alternate DNS information under DNS servers in DNS tab.
    I applied these settings and the airport express shows solid green light but gives NO access to internet.
    I have also tried connecting the Ethernet cable directly to the computer, which also shows connected but gives NO access to Internet.
    I borrowed another router from my friend (not apple) and entered the same settings given by my new ISP and boom !!! I got connected to the internet  only through wirelessly BUT no connection again using the ethernet.
    So I am facing the following problem in Mac OS X (10.7.5)
    using
    Airport Express: NO internet
    Ethernet: NO internet
    Other Router(non-apple): Internet works using Wi-fi
    Ethernet: NO internet
    I do not know if something is blocking the connection or what is happening. I have created new locations (under network) and deleted the old existing one's but nothing seems to help. I also did a hard reset of my Airport Express but nothing seems to help.
    Please help me !!!

    I must be doing something wrong with entering settings in Airport Express. The ISP technician is as clueless as me and had even did some changes under Wi-Fi in the network section on my macbook pro. I dont know if it is causing these problems. I have a few questions, please help.
    Q1. While entering the ISP provided details using Airport Utility, which of these should I choose: A. Static B. DHCP C. PPPoE ?
    Q2. Should my MAC address in the Airport Utility be set to configure manually or automatically ?
    Q3. What should be my Wi-Fi settings in my computer ?. I mean in system preferences under network, should my TCP/IP set as DHCP or manually ? Under hardware tab, there is an option to select MAC address as either Automatically or Manually. What should it be ?
    Please Help !!!

  • Airport Express for AirTunes. Problems.

    I have a Windows XP computer and Laptop with a Linksys G wireless router in my house. Laptop connects to the router wirelessly and the desktop is hard connected to the router. Everyone is talking to each other nicely and I decided to invest an Airport Express for the sole purpose of playing itunes from my computer on speakers in another room.
    I bought the Airport Express and have had nothing but disaster. I don't want to use it to create another network, just to "join" my existing network. So the first thing I do is plug it in with only the speaker connection plugged in. I have not plugged in an Ethernet cable or anything else.
    According to the "manual" it is supposed to go solid yellow, blink and then go solid green. Because my home network is PW protected, I would have thought it could not "connect" to it on its own, but from just plugging it in to the wall outlet, I never get solid green, just flashing yellow, which apparently is bad.
    Anyways, I use the software (updated over the net of course) to set up and it is looking for a "base station" (which is confusing to me because I don't have an Apple base station, I have a linksys router and the stupid Airport Express box plugged into the wall). At any rate, it "finds" the Apple base station and appears to treat it as an unsecured Apple network, with some funny id. I do "manually configure" and I tell it I want to use it for AirTunes, and I don't want to create a new network, I want to join it to an existing network. I give it the SSID of my home network as well as the 64 bit encryption key (that is not autogenerated, but that I manually type in), and that's it.
    While I am able to get a message that it is ready to use (and I no longer see "Apple XXXX" as one of the available networks when I scan for available networks) the light on the Airport Express never stops blinking yellow, and it has done something to my home network because my laptop now is unable to keep a wireless connection to the router. I checked all my settings and they all seem to be ok, my desktop which is hard wired connects fine, but my laptop either won't connect at all, or connects and then drops. I have re-started everything including the router (not re-set, just unplug and plug back in) but my laptop now is totally not connecting and the Airport Express still doesn't work.
    Sorry for the rant, but any suggestions?

    Hello Birdman325. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Because my home network is PW protected, I would have thought it could not "connect" to it on its own, but from just plugging it in to the wall outlet, I never get solid green, just flashing yellow, which apparently is bad.
    Not necessarily. A flashing amber status light generally indicates that the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is not connected to a network. Since the default configuration of the AX is a wireless Internet router, the flashing status light would be normal.
    Anyways, I use the software (updated over the net of course) to set up and it is looking for a "base station" (which is confusing to me because I don't have an Apple base station, I have a linksys router and the stupid Airport Express box plugged into the wall).
    The AirPort utilities are specifically designed to work only with AirPort base stations, so it would be normal for it to try to "find" base stations.
    At any rate, it "finds" the Apple base station and appears to treat it as an unsecured Apple network, with some funny id.
    Again, normal. Remember the default configuration of a powered AX is a wireless Internet router ... since you don't have it connected to the Internet, the utility will find it as a stand-alone wireless network that is unsecured.
    While I am able to get a message that it is ready to use (and I no longer see "Apple XXXX" as one of the available networks when I scan for available networks) the light on the Airport Express never stops blinking yellow, and it has done something to my home network because my laptop now is unable to keep a wireless connection to the router.
    Let's double-check your AX's settings ...
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX

    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    o Wireless Network: <select the existing Linksys wireless network>
    Music tab
    o Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    o Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    o iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • No Airtunes, Airport Express connected (green light)

    Hi all,
    After many an hour faffing around I finally got the AirPort Express connected to my Windows XP PC. I can edit the configuration using the Admin Utility, and the light on the AirPort Express is solid green (ohh the joy when THAT finally happened).
    Alas iTunes (6.0.1.3) doesn't see the speakers. The menu option (under Preferences> Advanced) is ON, I've checked my firewall and have UDP Port 5353 open (both ways), but still nothing.
    I'm not using any security on the wireless connection (no need) and I'm approaching my wits end.
    I have manually configured the AirPort Express to an IP address instead of using DHCP (which pulled my internet connection) and I ONLY want to stream music, not interested in using it to access the internet.
    What am I missing? I've Googled, read many posts on this forum, and THAT post by Simon that everyone links to, but to no avail. I'm SOOO close though, I know it!

    Side note: I'm on a PC not a Mac (freudian slip?)
    Info: I am on Telewest Broadband (UK) and my cable modem is a Scientific Atlanta Webstar 100 (it's a USB connection to the PC). My wireless connection is a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122 USB Adapter.
    OK I'll need to pick up a cable as I don't have one.
    Questions.
    You said: "Then connect the cable modem to the Airport Express ethernet port. Pull power to both the modem and the Airport Express for five minutes or more."
    "Pull power"? I take it you mean just leave them plugged into the power (the modem won't work without power anyway).
    The reason I ask for clarification is the next line:
    "Then plug the modem into power and wait a minute."
    Shouldn't it already be plugged in to power, if it's not plugged in, it won't work?!
    Finally:
    "Your Mac should now, after reconnecting to the Airport Express wireless network, be able to access the internet."
    So, is there anyway to configure the Airport Express NOT to access the internet. I'm not bothered about this at all, I just want to stream music downstairs. No internet access required (BY ME, I understand the Airport Express may want it, but does it NEED it).
    Apologies for more questions, and many MANY thanks for your responses so far. Once I get this working (and I will), I'll be writing up a detailed set of instructions, screenshots, the works (I'm a technical author by trade ya see).
