Drive trigger line by multiple devices (or connect many trigger lines)

Hey all,
Here's what i've been trying to do recently and am starting to get frustrated. So basically I want multiple devices to drive the same trigger line. Thought this mighyt be a problem for my application. Let me rephrase with a question that would give me the optimal solution. I have an PXI-6653 card on my PXI-1045 and what i want to do is say:
Send triggers generated on 2 lines (say PXI_Trig0 and PXI_Trig1) to a 3rd line (say PXI_Trig2). effectively I want the line PXI_Trig2 to get triggered whenever either of the first 2 get triggered. (If you want to think of this in a binary logic way, I want something like "Trig2 = Trig0 OR Trig1" , so I will get a rising edge on 2 whenever 0 or 1 have a rising edge)..
If it try to send (connect) both Trig0(source) and Trig1(source) to Trig2(destination) using NISYNC vi's, it wont work because it will say that Trig2 is already in use after connecting to one of the others (0 or 1).
Note that I dont want Trig0 or Trig1 to change, i.e i dont want to send trig0 to trig1 and then send trig1 to trig2
PS: when i say "send trig1 to trig2" i mean connect trig1 as the source and trig2 as the destination in the NISYNC connect trigger terminal VIs.
What can be done about this? Smart workarounds? or some way of overriding the fact that i cant connect multiple lines to the same destination line??

Hey mimomar,
Could you give us a little more background as to why you are trying to share the connection between these trigger lines? Most likely you will have to implement some sort of external connection to achieve this, but if I had more details as to the hardware that you are trying to synchronize with this setup then we should be able to give you the best solution. Let me know!
Regards,
Lars

Multiple devices cannot connect

I can not connect multiple devices (iphone, windows laptop) wirelessly. I have an airport extreme, Imac operating on SnowLeopard. My Ipad and macpro connects fine wirelessly. This is a new problem. Worked fine for 6 months. I have rebooted both the cable modem and the airport express router. For some reason my password is being rejected or saying unable to connect. Again, this is a new problem.

Check to make sure that your Time Capsule is configured as a router....not a bridge....to allow both DHCP and NAT services.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the next box that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Make sure that the setting for Router Mode is set to DHCP and NAT
Click Update to save the settings and allow 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart
Then....very important....power off all devices on the network in any order you want
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first, and let it run a full minute by itself
Start the Time Capsule next, the same way
Keep starting devices one at a time until the entire network is back up

Time capsule won`t allow multiple devices to connect to the internet

I`ve got a 2TB time capsule that worked fine.
I moved to this condo where the is already a wired internet service available to each apartment. The access is made through a login and password whenever You open you browser, if connected directly on the WAN cable. No multiple logs are allowed.
When I used my Time Capsule to create a wi-fi network and serve as a router I could access the internet on my MacBook over the wi-fi just created. No problem at all. But whenever I try to log other devices (iphone, apple tv) it asks for my ap login and password, and of course it states that there`s already an active connection to that user and won`t grant me access.
I`ve then borrowed a tp-lynk router from a friend of mine, created a wi-fi network (without the time capsule on it), it asked for the log in and all but then everything worked fine and I could use all my devices through this network.
Back to the time capsule, I`ve tried different settings. First one was bridge mode, but it didn`t work. Tried DHCP & NAT but had the double NAT issue.
Also I`ve tried this solution https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/networking/configuring-an-airport-extreme- for-nat-only-mode/
but it would`t work either.
My guess is that somehow Time Capsule is attributing different IP addresses to each device that enters the Wi-Fi network, and that`s the reason I can`t access the net, since the service provider won`t allow more than one connection. On the other hand TP-Lynk was able to connect to the internet service through one IP address and then connect to other devices.
Any idea on how to solve this issue?

Tried DHCP & NAT but had the double NAT issue.
If you got the TC working and had double NAT .. sorry but the TP-Link is exactly the same.. you cannot distribute a single IP without double NAT.. the TC tells you it is a problem.. the TP-Link doesn't.. otherwise there is no difference.
But it is important the double NAT is setup right.. ie you must use different ranges.. please tell us the IP you get from a directly connected computer..
If it is 10.x.x.x then you should move the TC to 192.168. rather than default IP of 10.0.1.1 .. the TP-Link already will use 192.168.x.x. which might also explain why it works better.

I have multiple devices (imacs, lap tops and ipads) all connected to a NAS server. Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife, and each have our own apple ID, and Itunes accounts, but all share the same media on NAS drives?

I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive. Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives? So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud. Having problem with Calendar. On one iMac, all the events are duplicated. How can I correct that problem? Under the Calendar accounts, I had my Apple id listed and also just iCloud.

Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud: 2 iMacs, 2 iPhone 4s, 1 MacPro Laptop, and 1 iPad 2. When using Calendar, all the events were
duplicated on my husbands iMac. On his computer, under Calendar accounts, I had included iCloud and also my iCloud ID. I thought that because I had two accounts listed that were connected to iCloud, that might be the cause of the duplication. When I deleted ithe calendars from one of the accounts, it resulted
in deleting all of the events on all of our network devices!
I have since entered some new events into Calendar from my iMac and from my iPhone. These appear correctly on all devices except my husband's iMac where they are again all duplicated.
I have two questions: 1) How can I eliminate the duplicated events on my husband's computer and 2) How do I retrieve the old wiped out Calendar events from
Time Capsule. I don't know how to find Calendar in the Time Capsule. If I find the Calendar information in Time Capsule, how do I transfer it to my current Calendars?
I was obtaining phone help from one of the Apple techs at Apple Support, but our call was disconnected part way through. Didn't know how to reconnect with the tech.
Thanks for any help.

Solved. Travel router WTR54GS sharing one wireless hotspot connection with multiple devices

Hi, Passing on info I've learned.
The manual for the WTR54GS mentions being able to "...use multiple devices on a single hotspot account in a coffee shop or airport lounge...". See my original posting, "How to set up a wireless private bubble at paid hotspot? WTR54GS?", which ended in a dead end. I subsequently had a Linksys live chat session and the representative provided the solution. Perhaps worthy to be included in the Wireless FAQ?
Situation: you have access to a paid hotspot (hotel room, meeting room, etc.) and you want to share the connection with several devices, also wirelessly.
Solution: the WTR54GS can accept an incoming Internet connection wirelessely and re-broadcast that connection to form your own private bubble or network. (Note the WTR54GS can also accept an incoming Internet connection via Ethernet cable).
Linksys Live Chat pointed me to these web pages.
Go to the Linksys Easy Answers page: For a schematic of the concept of "associating the travel router to a hotspot (wirelessly)" search for Easy Answer ID# 4831
URL for above is http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4831&p_created=1167963305&p_sid=GmLnq3Zi&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NjImcF9wcm9kcz0wJnBfY2F0cz0xNzIxLDE3MjMmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0yLjE3MjMmcF9zY2ZfbGFuZz0xJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9V1RSNTRHUw**&p_li=&p_topview=1
There is a "configuration simulator" that shows the options for selecting a wired or wireless incoming Internet Type.
http://linksys.com/ui/files/WTR54GS/1.0_15/Setup-Wireless.htm
The hotspot has to be "open", that is transmitting an SSID and with no WEP or WPA key. It may have a log-in page accessible via a web browser, this is okay as this will be passed onto the connected device.
My personal application is to be able to connect a PDA that has a 801.2b wifi to a 801.2g wireless network. I haven't tried it but if this works, it will extend the useful life of my PDA in a "g" environment. Will report back once I find a "g" only environment. Comments?

There are two conditions which must be met in order to use your WTR54GS to "extend" an incoming, wireless internet connection:
The incoming connection must be unsecured. You have already covered this point;
The security settings on your WTR54GS can only be set to "WEP," or to "Disabled." If you choose "WEP," then you can use either a 40/64-bit, or a 128-bit key.
If those two conditions have been met, then it works fine -- says the guy who is sharing one paid internet conneciton in his hotel amongst three devices, and with co-workers in nearby rooms.

Multiple Devices Keep Losing Wireless Connection t...

We have multiple kids and hence multiple devices, daily, different devices are able to connect and others aren't. The only solution is to reset the homehub and they can all then connect, but it is only a matter of time before connectivity is lost. Happens on all device types, phone, TV, printer etc.
Anyone have similar issues and is there a resolution?

What Hub are you using ?
If an HH4 A or an HH5 A it is best to have different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz signals.

Having issues with multiple devices connecting to AirPort

Hello All
I'm having an issue when people come to visit. It seems my network goes haywire once they get here with their devices.
My network consits of an Airport Extreme and two Airport Expresses connected to a cable modem. On the network I have two iMacs, Mac Pro, two TiVos, Xbox 360, Foscam Secutity camera, two iPad minis, iPod, iPhone 4S and an iPhone 3GS. They are all connected to the main network login.
When guests come over, most weekends my girl and her daughter, they have two iPhones, and iPad 2 and an iPad mini. Once they get here, we all seem to get knocked offline. Some devices stay connected at times, but most, if not all, get knocked offline. I assumed it was something wrong with one of their devices. They connect with the Guest login.
This weekdend we had some friends visiting and my girl and her daughter were not here. These friends showed up with two iPhones, a MacBook Pro, an iPad mini, iPod and a kindle. Same thing happended...all knocked off line. They also connected with the Guest login.
Are there limits to the number of devices? If so, I wouldn't think I am hitting that limit, could it be that low?
Thank you in avance for any input or assistance.
Cooch

I have the Express units that look like a white AppleTV. Not the ones that plug directly into the wall, they have a power cable. I believe they are 2nd Generation.
Yes, those would be 2nd generation Express base stations and they should be able to support up to fifty wireless connections.
Are both of these connected back to the Extreme with a wireless or wired connection? Regardless of which are they both configured to extend the Extreme's Wi-Fi range?
I am assuming that you have this network configured to also support a guest network ... correct?
The Extreme is not the latest tall one, it's the one just before they released the new one.
That should make your Extreme a 5th generation model, which is just fine.
Do the Express devices count as wireless connections?
Yes.
Even if I include the Express devices, I have 14 connections. If two people come to my home with two devices each, I am still under 20 connections. All Airports and devices are on the same level of the house, approximately 1000 square foot area, with open doors into every room.
Yes, according to the number of devices you stated, this should work.
The only idea I have at this time is to temporarily disable the guest networking feature. Once done, see if you still have the issue. Do you?

Connecting multiple devices to Lan ports on airport

Hi, I have an Airport Base Station where I need multiple devices connected to through LAN cables. In short it is a) Apple TV and b) External TV providers box.
When I plug in the Apple TV to the first LAN port it works great, and I then connect the external TV providers box to the second lan port, and now it won't connect to the internet.
If I turn these around, then the apple TV won't connect, but the box will connect.
The station is set-up in bridge mode, and when I switch it to DHCP/NAT, then I get an error "doubble NAT".
What do I need to do to get both devices working at the same time when connected through the LAN ports?

If this is the device that you have........http://www.technicolor.com/en/solutions-services/connected-home/modems-gateways/ xdsl-modems-gateways/tg799vac-xtream ........then it is a gateway type of device that combines a modem and router in one package.
The Time Capsule must connect to a device like this using the "Off (Bridge Mode)" setting to avoid errors on the network. Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the Technicolor gateway connects to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
If the Off (Bridge Mode) setting does not work, I would suggest that you reset the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then set it up again.
Are you still using the OS X (10.4.9) operating system that you indicate in your profile? If yes, you would need a much more up to date operating system to work with the Time Capsule.
If resetting the Time Capsule and setting it up again does not work, then I would recommend that you contact Apple Support for more assistance. Click on the flag of your country on this link:

"Hotel" wi-fi sharing single connection with multiple devices

Hi,
Been reading lots of stuff on here over the last few days and bought 2 airport expresses the other day but I can't seem to get them working quite how I need:
Ok, hotel wi-fi charges per connection - the wi-fi is unsecured (no key, yikes, no encryption) but is secured by a username and password that you buy. I have no problem with that but they quote costs are per device (per MAC address I assume) so cost is steep for my laptop, iPhone and ipad!
So, my first airport express will "join a wi-fi network" I guess in bridge mode (no choice - correct?) and allow Ethernet clients and then provide Ethernet out of LAN port into WAN port of 2nd new express. The 2nd will "create a wifi network" with NAT and DHCP on a 10.0.1.x range with the airport 2 taking 10.0.1.1 IP address. This bit works fine and all my devices can connect and get allocated a nice hidden 10.0.1.100+ IP address as per my dhcp range I set.
I tested this setup at home and had to set airport express 2 to ignore double NAT but it works - however, on my test wi-fi network that all this connects to just as a test, I could see 2 IP addresses allocated :(. One to the first "bridge" and one to the router (the 2nd airport express).
How do I do the above without consuming 2 ip addresses and thus 2 mac addresses on the host wi-fi network? Is it possible? A friend says he has this working with a cheap router running dd-wrt but I have bought the 2 airports now!
Thanks.

How do I do the above without consuming 2 ip addresses
Sorry, not possible. Remember, you have 2 AirPorts. Both need an IP address.

Connecting bluetooth accessory to multiple devices

Bought the XGPS150 to work with my wi-fi only iPad2. It would have been a bonus if it could talk to two iPad's/devices at the same time, but it cannot.
Multiple devices can pair with it, but it can only communicate with one iPad/Phone/Touch at a time.
I can understand this with accessories like headphones or keyboards (maybe). But with a GPS device that mainly pushes data instead of receives data it would be nice to send to multiple devices at the same time.
Is this a limitation with the vendor? With the Bluetooth 2.0 specification? Fixed in Bluetooth 3.0 or still a limitation?
Thanks!

Bluetooth uses a master/slave protocol. The iPad is the master. Headphones, XGPS, keyboards are slaves. All communication is between master and slave. A master can have multiple slaves but a slave can have only one master.

Hi Pradeep,
I'd recommend posting on the Flex and Flash Builder forums for this versus Proto.
I'm not sure if Flash Builder would support it, given iOS and flash compatibility restrictions, but you should confirm with other developers

Frequent Connection Drops Across Multiple Devices (Macs, PC's, iPhone)

I have the Airport Extreme Base Station, running the latest firmware (v5.7) and across the entire house, across multiple devices (Macbook Pro, iPhone, Dell Laptop), the Airport's signal will drop from 5/5 bars down to 1/5 or to 0. Even while very close to the access point itself.
The Macbook Pro is running the latest version of Leopard with all firmware updates applied. The Dell is running Windows XP SP3, all latest drivers installed. The iPhone (first gen) is running the latest firmware.
What can I do to fix this problem?
Everytime the signal drops from 5/5 to 1/5, sometmes 0, ... if I click on the airport status in the menubar, it says Scanning. Disable Airport, re-enable, and I'm good to go. This is very frustrating especially when using the iChat video chat.
I could have purchased a far lesser expensive generic Linksys or Netgear router, but decided to go with Apple for their trusted name in electronic devices. I paid a pretty penny expecting a better product than the competition, yet it doesn't seem to perform as well as the generic routers out there.
What can I do to fix this problem, or do I need an entirely new Airport altogether? If it's the latter... I learned my lesson and Linksys/Netgear here I come.

I see the base station has a port for an external antenna. Is this a standard jack (like RP-SMA) that I could use any antenna with? Or does that port still pass through the (failing) Airport card inside?
The external antenna would, effectively, bypass the unit's internal antenna. However, as you already surmised, it would still require the internal AirPort Extreme card as well.
And price wise would it make sense to invest in a new antenna or just get a new WAP?
I would go with a new WAP. Either way, I would go with a vendor that has a good return policy just in case this doesn't solve the problem.

Connecting multiple devices via wireless...

Hi there. I'm trying to connect two dell laptops simulaniously to wireless internet. The problem is that if either device is connected by itself, it connects fine, but if I try to connect the other device, neither can access the internet. I've called my internet provider, and he could not help me because the internet provider does not cover wireless routers. My wireless router is a WRT110. Any help would be fantastic.
Note: I've tried looking other places online, but I haven't found a solid answer. This problem seems to be very common.
Secondary note: The tech guy at Knology said it was probably a configuration problem.

Make sure that modem is connected to the Internet port on the router.
Try to reset and reconfigure the router.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.

Multiple devices + 1 BBID - Playbook and Smartphone

Based on the answers provided in the thread below;
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook-2-0-Insider/Multiple-devices-1-BBID/td-p/...
I do not understand the following statement;
App World supports one simultaneous BBOS device and one PlayBook, and only 5 switches each per year (a maximum of 15 unique device switches per product line per year)
I have a Playbook 64GB and Strom2 9550. My Storm 2 is on BIS and Playbook connects via WiFi or sometimes tethered through Storm 2. So, both my devices would be logged into my Blackberry ID. I would be using App world many times on both the devices, not simultaneously. Does every switch between Playbook and my Storm 2 switching counted as "unique device switching"? If that is called so, I would be reaching 15 switching in a day or two.
For some reason, at the time of my Playbook purchase, my Storm 2 was not on BIS, because of carrier problem. I switched to another carrier and now, just got my BIS running on my Storm 2. But I have not logged into the Storm 2's App world using my Blackberry ID yet.
Can some one give a clear definition of "unique device switch" ?

No. Those are the "simultaneous" use.

Changing your device from a Storm2 to a new Torch (i.e., a new handheld device PIN) would be a unique device switch.
