How do i configure the usb port on a draytek vigor 2820n router for use with my imac

i have an imac connected to the internet through a draytek vigor 2820n router. this router has a USB port with a HP Deskjet 5560 printer attached (for use as a network printer for other machines on the network). How do I configure this printer on the iMAC?

I checked on the HP web site. Your aswer is on the HP website under your printer type. Update your drivers and follow the instructions given by HP and the printer will work as you have it connected.
Good Luck

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

How can I test the usb port on my Time Capsule to see if it is working?

Ever since lightening struck nearby (which took out our internet and copy machine) the printer I had connected to the usb port on my Time Capsule in my office has has failed to print through the TC. I can plug the printer directly into my MacBookAir and can print just fine. So there is nothing wrong with the printer nor the usb cable.
I've turned off and unplugged the printer with the usb cable connected & disconnected to the TC, no change. I've unplugged the TC, no change. I've opened the printer utility several times, and always get the "offline" error. I open the print queue, and it says the printer is not connected. I reinstalled the driver for the printer, still the same thing.
I'm starting to wonder if the usb port on my Time Capsule got fried. Any help anyone can give in trying to see if the usb port even functions anymore would be greatly appreciated.
My Time Capsule is model no. A1409.

Power is not likely to be killed .. it is the data components that are more fragile.
So you do have power which as you say is why the USB flashes.. but you don't have signal.
The only other thing you can do is use USB powered hub.. if you have one handy.. but I would not go out and buy one.
A damaged board is impossible (at cost less than replacement TC) to repair. And repairers do not like working on stuff damaged by lightning as components that did survive were stressed.. the transistor junctions become liable to fail at any time.. so you repair it and it just keeps coming back as not working. Sorry if you cannot use it without USB junk it and buy a replacement. A second hand Gen3 is about the best of them it seems.
You can also buy an ethernet to USB print server.. but a new ethernet or wireless network printer is probably near to the same price.
You can hunt ebay for second hand USB print servers.. or airport express, extreme or TC.. often you can find something suitable for just a few dollars if you shop well. Since you don't need the latest greatest to do this sort of job.. and people are disposing of things like USB print servers as soon as they buy network printers.

Can i communicate by the USB port, if my application is set up to communicate with the serial RS232 port???

Hi to all labview users... Please help me with my deadly problem. Last Deadline is on monday next week!.
I got a complete program now, written and tested OK. It communicates with a slave to control a motor. I've set up the program to communicate with the slave by the VISA RS232 Serial Port commuication. and all works fine...
Now the problem is.. that The communication should have been by the USB port instead. So what I have done now, is that i used a USB to RS232 converter. So that the USB Plug is plugged to the PC, and the RS232 end to my SLAVE,
When I send a command to my SLAVE, the SLAVE seems to understand it and it executes the command. But I must read some data at the port after sending my command to the SLAVE, coz, this command ask the SLAVE to start streaming data to me.
All communication to me from the Slave crashes so that i get ( sometimes if I get data ) wrong unknown data i cant understand.
So the big question is: Can i use USB communication although my Application is set up with serial communication if I use a USB to RS232 converter??? ( the Driver for the USB - SERIAL conv. is installed well.)
Baudrate :115200.. parity : none, Data bits: 8, stop bit : 1.
Please help me.....

Hi ZamZam,
Thanks for your detalied description of the problem. However I think the problem is how your USB-RS232 converter is converting the incoming serial command to the USB port. All Labview can see is a "normal" serial port. Do you have some information on the converter? You might also want to contact them to see if they are aware of this issue.
Thanks!

HT2412 How would one enable the USB ports to always be providing power?

I have a USB NIC and would like to be able to use WOL as the on-board NIC does not support WOL in powered off state. Is there a way to enable USB ports always powered on? This feature is available on Lenovo laptops.

I see, I'd recommed resetting the SMC and PRAM. Please do both 2x each and follow the instructions below to the letter:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I see you have tried these but it doesn't hurt to do them again. Your machine is covered by a 1 year warranty which will cover any hardware problems. If you havne't already I'd strongly recommend getting AppleCare. This will extend the warranty to 3 years from the original date of purchase and also provide 3 years of phone support. You can get it directly from Apple or you can find it discounted by buying from some authorized Apple resellers such as Amazon and LA Computer Company.

How do I open the same ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station for multiple computers at the same time?

As the title suggests...
I have a mix of five Mac and PC's at home using an Airport Extreme Base Station as the router.   I need many ports opened on the AEBS for all of the computers- not just one computer. (for example: three people want to play TF2 on Steam at the same time; each machine needs the correct ports open on the router).   Port forwarding only allows me to forward a given port to a single IP, yet I need that port open for five differnt IP's, all at the same time.
How do I do that on an AEBS?
In the same way, I have a small office of four iMacs using an old airport with the same exact issue.   I would like to be able to connect to all of them remotely with Apple Remote Desktop, but the port forwarding on the airport only allows a port to forward to a single IP.   I want to be able to tunnel into the office network and log onto any machine behind the Airport extreme... not just a single IP.    I currently have it set up where I can tunnel into the office from my house, I can find the one machine that the port forwarding has been assigned to, I can log on and everything is just fine... with one machine.    How do I open the firewall for the other machines?
TL,DR version: How do you open ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station instead of forwarding ports?   Forwarding ports doesn't work for multiple IP's.

You can open a single or multiple ports to a single device or different ports to different devices, but you cannot open the same port to multiple devices via the AirPort Utility for the Apple routers.

Cannot configure wrt54gs v6 router for use with filezilla FTP client

I am new to working with FTP and very rusty on networking in general. I just downloaded filezilla to create a FTP client on my desktop. When I run their wizard, it says the connection is tainted by my router. All the forums for filezilla say I need to configure my router to allow traffic on either port 21 (ftp) or a range of ports ( they suggest 50000 to 50100).
Please let me know what I need to do to make this work
thanks in advance
ldygunner

To answer your other questions, the tutorials have it all wrong. What they really need to explain, but fail to do so, is that the only situation where a FTP client would need to use active mode (the PORT command) is where the FTP server can't accept inbound connections on arbitrary port numbers. But that's a pathological case anyway: the FTP server can always accept connections on some well defined set of port numbers, to keep its own local firewall or NAT router happy. Consequently, there is really no need at all for a FTP client system to open up any ports to support active mode, rather than always operate in passive mode (as browsers do.)
The fact of the matter is that if passive mode works in a browser for you, it will work for Filezilla also.
And the configuration tests it runs are brain damaged. Even though the wizard recommends passive mode, it never tests for it. And it doesn't really test active mode either. What it really tests is whether anything between the client and the server is "transparently" translating IP addresses and port numbers. Such a test is broken, because the mere fact of port numbers being rewritten in TCP packets is irrelevant to whether PORT (active mode) will succeed or fail.
For completeness, in case someone decides to get pedantic, there is a case where a FTP client system would need the active mode PORT command to work, but that case is now of historical interest only. It's a scenario that FTP servers no longer support, for security reasons. (What is it? When the FTP client is operating as a controller to remotely transfer files between two servers: it tells one server to use passive mode, and sends the address/port it gets to the other server in active mode, which in theory would make the second server open a connection to the first. This, in fact, is why two modes, active and passive, were originally defined in the FTP standard!) And it still wouldn't need open ports on the client system.

How do I set up my router for use with only my laptop?

I want to use my WRT300N v1 broadband router wirelessly with only my laptop, but the set-up instructions I've seen involve wiring the router to a desktop. Can anyone provide me with the instructions I need?
Thanks.

It is not an mandotary step to connect the Desktop to the Router... it just indicates that first you need ant computer connected to the router using cable & working online ....
If you want to go online with Laptop .... either you can connect the Laptop to the Router using Cable or you can wirelessly go online ,.....
Connect the Laptop to the router using Ethernet Cable ,,,,, at LAN port 1-4 .... Check the light status ... access setup page ...
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode
should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID
broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>Now
Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the
Wireless security mode to "WEP/WPA"...have a note of the key ... click save settings ...
On the Laptop try connecting to the Wireless network ...
See if it connects ....

I am a senior citizen newbie to apple. I have just downloaded my pictures from my camera. How do i remove my usb port from my mac pro without damaging anything?

I am a senior citizen newbie to apple. I have just downloaded my pictures to my Mac Pro. How do I remove the usb port without damaging anything. I know I shouldn't just pull it out.

The iphone is a "plug and play" device. It is safe to unplug it without "ejecting it". If you want to be sure it is safe open itunes and under devices next to your iphone you should see the eject symbol like a line with an up arrow above it, click that. Once you no longer see the iphone listed under devices it'll be safe to remove.

Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?

Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?
a) HP printer with USB port only (no ethernet port) connected to Airport Express
b) No issue printing from Macs
Tests
1) Installed Bonjour 2 - does not find printer (now uninstalled)
2) Bonjour 3 is listed in programs but no way to access
3) Using TCPIP address (and no Bonjour) gives 'Unsupported Personality' error when printing test page
Regards
Richard
p.s. why are all Windows 8.1 questios n the forum 'Locked' with no reply?

This is possible, but not with Bonjour or any other fixes. It is just a printer set up based on the Port name of the Airport, 10.0.1.1.
I found the answer on YouTube, Title: Windows Printing For Apple AirPort Extreme without Bonjour Wireless wifi.

How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

OK. The 6.0 version no longer has a printer configuration that I could find. You might try Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
I would also check the printer's user manual for help with the setup, and that failing check the manufacturer's website and/or tech support.

How do I configure the Airport utility to allow more than one rule per port?

How do I configure the Airport Utility (AU) to allow more than one rule per port?
I am on a home network, with broadband cable modem. I have my airport extreme connected to the broadband modem. I have 2 servers in my home that need to be accessed remotely from time (SSH), and they also serve data for an iphone app, so I'm using a variety of protocols. The problem I'm running into is that AU seems to only allow one rule per protocol, so if I go to add another address for access on a specific port that is being used by one of my servers, AU tells me "The Port Mapping Entry Already Exists".
I need to be able to allow SSH on both of my servers, for instance. Am I missing something? Is this doable with AU?
Thanks for any insight.
Khalid

The Port Mapping "rules" on the AirPorts will allow you to: 1. Map a single port to a single IP address OR 2) Map multiple ports to a single IP address.
What you won't be able to do is map a single or multiple ports to multiple IP addresses.
