Help with Fiber Standards, Protocols, etc...

Where could I find info about fiber optic cabling? I have mostly dealt w/ copper but now I would like to learn alot about fiber optic cabling, connecters, protocols...terms like SX, LX,and ZX .....Can someone steer me in the right direction...Thanks in advance...

The Cisco Press book "Optical Network Design and Implementation" is a good place to start. http://www.ciscopress.com/title/1587051052
Be sure to check out the free sample chapter:
Chapter 3: Fiber-Optic Technologies.

  • Help with video card drivers, etc.

    I just bought a MSI GeForce4 ti4600 8x agp, but I cant get it to install as that card with the newer nvidia drivers.  I'm stuck on the cd drivers, v.3100 because I cant seem to change to the newest ones (43.45), since every time i install them it changes my card to a geforce4 ti4800.  i've tested it in 3dmark, and it seems i lose about 100 3dmark points if i update the drivers.  someone please help me find out whats wrong, or what i can do.
    windows 2000
    epox 8k5a+ mobo
    amd athlon xp 2000+
    geforce 4 ti4600 8xagp
    768 DDR333 pc2700

    Losing or gaining a few hundred marks is quite usual when changing drivers. Im guessing you havn't changed the BIOS since you've just got the card. All i would suggest is that you remove the display drivers (control panel - add/remove programs) and reload with the standard PCI display adapter. Then try a fresh install of the newer drivers.
    See if that works, oh and btw, don't bother with the 43.45 drivers, they are terrible! go for 41.09, they're solid. You will lose the MSI display tabs but use coolbits if you haven't already, works just as well.
    Best of luck!

  • Help with CF9 Standard Install and Mac OS Server (Snow Leopard Server)

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a mac mini server (with snow leopard server) and will be using it to host my CF9 applications.  This install is WAY different than the install needed on a windows machine.  I tried to install it once and somehow hosed up Apache and now I can't even get it to start up (apache).  So I am having the colo company to do a full restore of the server and I took notes on the Mac Server install and below is the questions I have.
    1.) Since Snow Leopard Server comes with Apache webserver, it is what CF wants to use.  This is fine, I just need to know where these things are...
    It is asking for the Configuration Directory:  I'm guessing it is /private/etc/apache2 ? Right or Wrong???
    2.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server binary:  It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/httpd  is this right or should I point it to another directory?
    3.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server script: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/apachectl  is this right or should I point it to another directory?
    It also wants the location where I can place the CFIDE.  Can I place this anywhere I wish or is there a preferred location to point this to?
    and finally, I have CF9 Standard, so on the mac server should I install it as a server configuration (self contained instance) or Enterprise Multiserver config.  I was reading online that its better to install as an Enterprise Multiserver setup, but I don't know if this will work for me since I'm useing the standard edition.
    Please Help ANYONE, if you have mac os experience and installing CF9 onto a mac server
    Thanks

    I have been getting this exact same problem.  CF installer is somehow writing some invalid information into the httpd.conf file.  I was able to replace the httpd.conf file with the default one, and was able to go through the webconnector process again and (sometimes randomly) it works.  I also spent about 4 hours on the line with adobe CF support and made no progress beyond what I'll post here .
    To answer your questions about file locations:
    /private/etc/apache2/ for the httpd.conf files
    /usr/sbin/ for both the apachectl and the httpd binaries
    Although I'm able to get past where you are, and it seems to work correctly, Immediately upon adding a new site via server admin it all breaks.  Coldfusion then will only work if I manually go to a cfm document.  For example:  http://example.com/ will give me the raw text from the (default index) index.cfm file.  But typing http://example.com/index.cfm works.
    I am lost here as well.  After 4 hours on the phone with adobe support I would have hoped it would be an easy fix.  I've completely nuked and reinstalled the server from scratch with the exact same results both times.
    Does anyone have the slightest clue about what may be going on here?

    Hello Jani Rautiainen,
        Thanks a lot for replying my question.
        This is the first time i am working with the BI Publisher reports and fusion applications.
        My requirement is to add few columns to the standard report with out loosing the functionality.
        I was not aware that there is two ways of doing this, i was always copying data model and report to a new folder and trying to create a new job for the report.
        As mentioned in the document 7.2.1.4 Using the Customize Feature    , i clicked on the more button on my report but i do not see the customize option. Do i need to have any specific role for this to appear in the menu? Please kindly let me know.
        Also i see below limitations while customizing report
    Limitations
    Following are limitations of the Customize report option:
    The Customize option is only available through direct access to the BI Publisher server using the /xmlpserver URL (for example:http://hostname.com:7001/xmlpserver). The Customize option is not available through the /analytics URL used to access Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
    The Customize option is available only for reports. The Customize option is not available for data models, style templates, or sub templates.To customize data models, style templates or sub templates and insulate them from potential changes from patching: Make a copy of the data model, style template, or sub-template and either rename it or place it in a custom folder. Ensure that you update any reports to point to the customized data model, style template, or sub template.
        My requirement is to add few additional columns which needs Data Model to be modified, Can i copy the data model to the custom folder and do my modifications and point this data model in the report(as mentioned in the point 2 in the limitations)? In that case, will the original report submission works?
    Regards,
    Prasad R

  • Help with widescreen/letterboxing/fullscreen etc.

    So, sorry to barrage this discussion board with so many topics. But I have been uploading a lot of videos recently and according to my sony video camera they were shot in 16:9, but if I turn let. leterboxing off, all the clips show up in full screen mode when I upload them to iMovie. Without the letterboxing, it looks a little scrunched, so I turned letterboxing back on, the only problem is that once I do so, and re-import the video, the problem is that the imported clips now have black bars on the top/bottom as well as the sides, is there anyway to make it so my 16:9 clips completely fill the screen.

    Also, does anyone know if this is cutting off the top of the video when it letterboxes? How exactly does it reformat it?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

    Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

  • Help with larger sized voice wlan.... design considerations.... tips...etc...

    Hi Everyone,
         I'm hoping that you guys and gals can help me with an ongoing problem that we have at one of our sites. We're working on areas of the location due to it's size and phone load. We have an area, that I will refer to as building A, that is roughly a square that is 240' x 240'. The inside of the building has some pallets inside for storage(they allow RF to penetrate through them) and also some metal production lines. There is also a mezzanine  / elevated area in the middle that the users can walk under. It's not very large, but it would affect a phone if you walked underneath it while making a call. So, now that I have a brief description of the environment, I will tell you the equipment I'm running...
    1 x 4402 50AP Wireless Controller with 6.0.199.3 (MR3) installed.
    We currently have nine AP's installed in this area, with 4 up front so that way they cover the office areas better. Most are 1231G's, but some are 1242's.
    Since we do not have A radios everywhere (budgetary decision) we are running all of these phones on 2.4Ghz (Yikes! I know!)
    The 7920's use LEAP and the 7921's use PEAP MS-CHAP v2 with CCKM enabled on the controller.
    I also have 802.1p wired QoS enabled for the voice QoS profile and it is applied to our voice WLAN.
    We have conference rooms in the front area that will need to support roughly 20-30 maximum mixed 7920 and 7921G phones in a roughly small area. (Yikes! I know!)
    We also have a 2106 with mesh .54M installed, but it is for outdoor AP's and should not be affecting this area.
    So, I guess my questions are....
    Has anyone ever operated the 7920 and 7921G's in mixed mode?
    I'm thinking about separating the 7920s on 2.4 and tell the 7921's to prefer the A band or just use A. This will require A radios / surgery, but we've dealt with different code trains, TAC configs, and even added a few more radios. I think it's time to say we need to redesign this area. It doesn't help that phones keep getting purchased either....
    What rule of thumb would you guys / gals say would be appropriate for this phone count in terms of the number of AP's I should use?
    Since we're dealing with two different phone models, it makes it hard to simply just read the deployment guide. I know these phones can coexist, I just think we're running into over capacity and problems with 802.11B in the mix. In the conf room right now, there are most likely signals from at least two AP's. This doesn't seem like enough bandwidth for just the 2.4 Ghz range when 20 - 30 phones are in there. Not all of them are calling, but the associations / mgmt traffic alone must be horrendous since the phones are 802.11B
    We are going to do a manual survey with a 1242 since that AP will support both phone models. I think we may need to survey twice if we're going to go this route; One survey for the 7920's on 2.4Ghz with a 1242AG and one survey on 5Ghz with a 7921G. I think that will provide the info we need to get the AP's repositioned where they need to be.
    What kind of power levels should I be using in an area like that? We've originally had a survey at 50mW, but since then we turned the power down to pwr lvl 3 in some spots due to the additional AP's. I've seen references of roughly 1 AP per 3000 sq. ft at pwr level 4, but that seems overkill. 
    Can we run mixed power levels on AP's with the phones? Or will that cause one way audio due to the transmit power diffrences in the cells?
    I'm thinking that we should pick a power level, survey the -67 cell size at the power level, add more AP's so that way they are overlapped 15-20%, and then actually implement the design. I'm pretty good at getting decent channel assignments in place. I know of non-overlapping channels, RRM, etc. I also have an AirMagnet laptop with an Aironet Adapter. It is good for finding noise, interference, etc...
    I understand this is practically a book, but at this point, we've been trying a LOT of different things in order to get this to work properly. I think it's finally time for me to "strongly suggest" that we do the following...
    1. Choose ONE phone model.
    2. Choose ONE AP model.
    3. Make sure to implement the 5Ghz band for all AP's so we have complete coverage.
    4. Choose ONE power level for each band. This will affect the coverage and placement of AP's. I'd imagine that we'd need to survey with A first, and then survey with b/g. Typically we can use the 1242 and get about the same cell size on both bands, but 5Ghz is a higher frequency and may not penetrate as much as 2.4 Ghz..
    5. Come up with a new coverage map based on a manual site survey with the phones mentioned above.
    6. Implement the design.
    7. Use it.
    8. Try not to have a heart attack when the system actually supports that many phones in that area...
    So, please, let me know your thoughts and if you have any suggestions. It would be greatly appreciated. We've been slowly working out the gremlins in the phones there over the past few years. I'm more of a data wireless person myself, but I do have good luck with a low to moderate phone count (usually no more than 7 calls per AP). Once we start doing craziness like trying to get 20-30 802.11B phones to work in the same area on only one or two AP's, then things start to become a challenge, especially when we don't have the 5Ghz cells to help with the bandwidth requirements for voice....
    Thank you for your time,
    Craig 

    There's a pretty recent (last few months) Voice over Wlan design guide published (was published for the 9971 phones - but all great advice) and it recommends just about all the settings required for an off the shelf wireless voice network.

  • Help with moving between custom screens in a Standard Transaction

    All,
    I'm working with a standard transaction, but in this transaction, the I'm having 2 tabs of customized screens. In each of the screen, I have 1 mandatory fields to be filled. If the user only fill in the mandatory field of the first screen and click save, I need to display an error message and also display the second screen automatically? How can I do this? I tried to use CALL SCREEN 9200 but the system keep displaying the error "Screen SAPLXQQM 9200 must not be in Include screen".
    Can anyone help me on this one? Thanks in advance.

    You must don't calling screen 9200. I mean delete lines code
    CALL SCREEN 9200.
    from your program.
    This code can be placement in screen fiew logic only!
    Instead, set code of needed tab of tabstrip using FM. Program process this command and automaticly call tab with your 9200-subscreen.
