How to automate restart of multiple access points?

I need to restart multiple access points, at least twice a day. This is my interim solution for the dlink dap2553...simply to restart them. Each AP has the same username and password, but different IPs (of course).

Have a look a the powershell cmdlets for stopping and starting an service:
Stop-Service and
Start-Service
and put in an powershell script, e. g.:
Stop-Service -Name Service1
Stop-Service -Name Service2
Stop-Service -Name Service3
Start-Service -Name Service3
Start-Service -Name Service2
Start-Service -Name Service1
then you can put this into an scheduled task.

How do i ensure the new access point is joined the controller or not

How do i ensure the new access point is joined the controller or not

To Verifying that Access Points Join the Controller or not there are two ways as below.
Please go through the step by step to find the APs joined state
When replacing a controller, you need to make sure that access points join the new controller.
Using the GUI to Verify that Access Points Join the Controller
Follow these steps to ensure that access points join the new controller.
Step 1 Follow these steps to configure the new controller as a master controller.
a. Click Controller > Advanced > Master Controller Mode to open the Master Controller Configuration page.
b. Check the Master Controller Mode check box.
c. Click Apply to commit your changes.
d. Click Save Configuration to save your changes.
Step 2 (Optional) Flush the ARP and MAC address tables within the network infrastructure. Ask your network administrator for more information about this step.
Step 3 Restart the access points.
Step 4 Once all the access points have joined the new controller, configure the controller not to be a master controller by unchecking the Master Controller Mode check box on the Master Controller Configuration page.
Using the CLI to Verify that Access Points Join the Controller
Follow these steps to ensure that access points join the new controller.
Step 1 To configure the new controller as a master controller, enter this command:
config network master-base enable
Step 2 (Optional) Flush the ARP and MAC address tables within the network infrastructure. Ask your network administrator for more information about this step.
Step 3 Restart the access points.

New Xperia Z1 wifi problem 14.4.A.0.108 (Multiple access points)

Hi,
I recently got a replacement Xperia Z1. This phone was immediately updated to the latest firmware (ending with 108) so I do not know if this problem existed prior to the update.
My problem is that the phone thinks it's still coneected to a wireless network even when it's not which prevents the phone from reconnecting when in range of a new network.
When it's working it looks like this: (same signal strenght in both the top bar and the settings)
When it's not working it looks like this (sifferent signal strenghts when compring the settings and the top bar)
And I'm 15km away from my home network
To make it work again I only have to turn off wifi and then turn it on again.
This screen shows for about 10 seconds when the problem has occured (instead of usually 1-2 seconds)
I've already tried to reset and reinstall the firmware. Is this an hardware error or has this something to do with the latest update?
//Mikael

An Update:
I've found that this problem only occurs on networks with multiple Access Points and when the phone is switching from on AP to another.
If the problem occurs the network stays "connected" even though I leave the area as described in my first post.
Does this help?
I've tested on several networks.

How to set WNDR4000 as an access point using Linksys EA8500

New member.I have looked through the messages and found quite a few on access points but either I don't understand them or the topic is not the same.I had a Netgear R7000 which died and I now have a Linksys EA8500. I am getting good speed through it and am on Comcast cable.The WDNR4000 was set up as a access point on my Netgear and worked fine. It is hard wired to my router through a switch.I can see it on my Linksys network but can't understand how to allow it as an access point / internet access. I can connect a device to the WNDR4000 but there is no internet.I have the MAC address for the WNDR4000. Thanks in advance to the group. rick

Thanks again.Here are more details.My Linksys router's IP is 192.168.1.1. No problem logging in to it.IP range is 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.14950 max connectionsNo static DNSNetgear AP is 192.168.1.100 and it is static.(I can change the range per other reply to start at 101) NAT is enabledDynamic routing not enabledNo static routingVLan off Internet settingsDHCP auto configOptional Name: badMTU > AutoMac Address Clone: not enabled Cable info:Linksys router - port 4 connected to my Airlink 101 1000M switch.

How to schedule restart of multiple services in Windows Server?

I want to schedule a weekly restart of multiple services on a Windows Server.
There are steps/sequence involved in the manual restart of these services.
Step 1) Stopping services one after another in a particular sequence.
Step 2) Starting all services in exactly reverse manner (Last one first & so on).
Please suggest how this can be done & kindly explain tasks clearly.
Thank You..!!

Question about using "dumb terminals" for multiple access points

For both home and a small busniess setting I have been trying to find info about the possibility of using some form of dumb terminal to provide multimple acces points to a single computer rather than a network of multiple computers.
I would like to use my LCD TVs, (which have AV and PC inputs) as monitors. I am going to purchase a new mac soon, and it seems it would make sense to spend more on 1 mac with more capability rather than 5 mac-minis (yes, I am trying to have 5 access points, with one one mac).
I have CAT5 running to all the locations I want to use, I also have airport.
For the most part I'm expecting only one user at a time, but occasional two. OS X is multi user, but can it support simultaneous users?
I have searched the discussions/forums and some google searching. Maybe I'm asking the wrong questions. But, I can't imagine that I am the only person who has thought of this.
If you have any thoughts or suggesting for further searching I would appreciate it. Thanks

On each of these 'dumb terminals' I assume you are looking to access the complete Mac desktop from the central Mac?
Unfortunately, this can't be done.
In the past, the setup you describe first was used on mainframes where each end node was a dumb terminal. But it was just text.
Next came X11 which does mostly what you are asking about, but each end node is basically a full computer in itself. You can remotely log into a central server and get a complete desktop session. This would take using a central computer that is running full X-Windows and then you'd need a PC running Linux, or running Windows and a X-Terminal package like Exceed or a Mac with X11 installed (not sure if you can make the Mac X11 do a full-blown desktop X session.) Note that as the central server, you'd need a computer running an OS with full-blown X-Windows (Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, etc.) -- OS X is UNIX but it doesn't run full X-Windows as its window manager.
Finally, there is what are called 'thin clients' ... a good example is Sun Microsystems' SunRay... it's enough hardware on the client side to provide display, keyboard and mouse. They boot off a central Sun Solaris server and work just like X-Windows clients. The difference here is that the SunRay unit can't work on its own; it has no disk, and has to boot from the SunRay server.
And of course there's Windows Terminal Services, which lets you do the same thing with Windows. I think that takes Windows Server edition software on the central computer, and then a regular PC as a client.
Sounds like your only option is to use Mac minis as you suggest. But then there's no need for a central computer to share, obviously.

How can I monitor the active access point + data c...

My privider (o2 Germany) requires me to use different access points (APN, proxy) on my phone (N80) depending on the type of browsing I want do do (WAP vs. "normal" access), and each of them has a "high cost trap" if I use the wrong one for the particular service.
Very annoying - up to the point that I consider not using the phone for online access at all because I'm so scared to run into uncontrollably high fees.
Anyways. I wonder if there is add-on software for my phone that helps me monitor my data connection, i.e.:
* show me the currently used access point at the top of the display (yes, I know I can go into some deep menus to look it up, but that's not very helpful or even easy to use)
* automatically disconnect when the conn is idle for a while (One of the data modes is time-based, meaning I do not want to have it open all the time by accident)
Currently, all I can see at the top of the display is that I have a data connection at all, but that does not give me enough information to know I'm in the right mode for what I'm doing.
Thomas

You can force a disconnect by pressing the red/hangup key for a couple of seconds when the phone is in the standby state.
And in menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Packet data change the setting "Packet data conn." to "When needed" and leave the "Access point" setting there to "None".
When you or apps on your phone are not doing any data transfer, then regardless of whether it is a WAP or "full" Internet packet data connection, you should not cumulate any charges.
You can also move the Connection Manager app from the Tools submenu to the main menu, or even to the Active standby apps list (or the softkeys) for quicker access. No need to deep dive into menus for it then.
And for individual apps, you can usually set the default access point to whatever is best to use for that particular app. For the browsers ("Web" and "Services") you can also make them ask you to pick the access point every time you connect.

Automatic Email Retrieval through Access Point Gro...

Hi,
Has anyone else had problems with applications locking up while using 'Automatic Retirieval' through 'Access Point Groups' on a wireless network?
My phone works fine in every other respect but as soon as I schedule it to access my email account (not BB) I invariably get one of the following instabilities:
The email application will not collect at the set intervals or...
It'll collect emails at the set intervals for a while & then lock up either the:
• Email application,
• All internet applications,
• The 'Email key' (but the application is still accessible via the icons).
• or the Email Key loses its settings: ‘Item no longer available. Restoring default multimedia key’
I can manually collect email & use the web through the same ‘Access Point Group’ & I have two other computers running off this wireless network fine?

This sounds like a reasonable request, is the v11 firmware just broken in this regard?

How can I verify CAPWAP/LWAPP access point?

Hello,
I wonder how can I check / what command shoul I use on non-autonomous access points to see wether they are support capwap or they support lwapp??
Thank you folks..

Hello,
I think Leo means how to distinguish by autonomous and lightwieght. not between LWAPP and CAPWAP.
Autohomous APs have in their image nam: K9W7 while lightweight APs have K9W8. That is correct. But I think this is not the answer.
In order to distinguish if an AP uses LWAPP or CAPWAP you have first to know that:
- Some old APs support only LWAPP. They do not support CAPWAP (1010 and 1030 for example).
- CAPWAP started with WLC version 5.2. If you have 5.2 or later then your AP supports CAPWAP. (old APs metnioed above are not supported on 5.x. they are supported on up to 4.x).
- Some APs support CAPWAP only. They work onlyh on WLCs with version 5.2 and above that supports capwap. (1140 for example does not work with 4.x, 5.0 or 5.1). While some other APs may work with either lwapp or capwap (1240 works with lwapp if it joing WLC running 5.0 while it works with capwap if it joins WLC that runs 7.x).
Now, in order to know if your AP supports capwap or lwapp:
- You need to know if your AP has any limitation (if it is capwap only, lwapp only or can run on both).
- if your AP can run on both lwapp and capwap you can do follow the follownig steps:
* show version from the AP to know the IOS version running on it.
* Go to this link (wireless compatibility matrix): http://tiny.cc/k08thw
* in the page, look for your IOS versoin that you knew from show version command.
* find what is WLC version that your AP version corresponds to.
* If the corresponding WLC version is 5.2 or later then you are running CAPWAP. If your WLC runs 5.1 or earlier then you are running lwapp.

How can we disable the OSX Access Point functionality without disabling all wifi.

Curious if anyone knows a way in Lion/Mountain Lion to disable the OSX access point features.
i have about 50+ macs in our company for iOS development. lately we've had a lot of rogue AP's showing up, people bridging the internal network by activating the "become a hotspot" feature in OSX. this is a *GREAT* feature, don't get me wrong. especially the latency and ease of use.. but in our case its causing problems, and i'm looking at a way to disable the AP features without disabling ALL wifi with something like.
/usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower en1 off
this is a bit too much ,it disables the entire airport/wifi. we want to only disable the access point capabilities.
any hardcore guru's out there have some advise?
TIA!

Enabling sharing services requires administrative access, so one option is to set this and only give folks standard "managed" access. The Internet Sharing service is a process called "InternetSharing" that runs as the root user and establishes all the appropriate services for the needed connection. You could technically remove or even rename this process on systems to prevent it from being used, or remove or disable its launch daemon. These files are in the following directories:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.InternetSharing.plist
/usr/libexec/InternetSharing

Security questions, cloud, and multiple access points

itunes:
i can't buy anything becasue fo the ******* security questions. thoughts?
also, can i download from itunes on my air, then, access the songs on both my mbpro and also, iphone4?
why am i having to ask? siri needs to know.

There is no way to tell your MacBook which access point to use. Since they all have the same SSID, they are seen as the same seamless network.

How to automate creation of MS Access databases/tables/records

Can someone point me to some examples that automate the creation of MSAccess database files and tables?
Can I do this with a bat file? If not, a ps1 file?
I bing searched and could not find an example.
I want to test the existence of a mdb (or accdb) file and if it does not exist, create it.
Then I want to see if that mdb (or accdb) file contains a table named "parts".
If it does not contain that table named "parts", create the table.
If that table does not contain any records, than add some sample data, presumably with some SQL "INSERT" statements.
What is the preferred API for this? I was thinking we should use the ADO.NET/OleDB API. I did find a few examples of queries of MSAccess databases with the old ADO API.
ADOX seems very old for creating databases. Is there any thing more modern?
Is powershell the easiest scripting language to do this?
Thanks

How to detect a Wireless Internet access point (Legally)

When I am using my new Macbook Pro at a hotel that has an open and free wireless network, what do I do to note that it is there? What do I bring up to be able connect to it?
I was just at a hospital that friends (there) told me had open and free local wireless access but I could find nothing from the Airport icon/window.
Normally, at home, I am connecting through my Airport Extreme which, in turn, is connected to the DSL Router. Once I leave home, that icon, on the batr at the top of the screen, is greyed out.
MacBook Pro 2.16 dual-core Mac OS X (10.4.7) Airport Extreme

Frobozz,
You can control (somewhat) the behavior of wireless connectivity through the Network preference pane (in System Preferences), under Airport. In general, with the default settings, the computer will keep track of all of the networks that you connect to and will re-connect to these automatically. When an unknown open network is available, the computer should ask if you want to join it.
If you know that you are in the vicinity of an open wireless network, select the Airport (antenna) icon in the menu bar and the name of the network should be selectable. If there is nothing showing then perhaps the airport card is turned off or needs to be coaxed back to life by re-booting. If you want another method of checking for wireless networks you could download a widget such as Airport Radar from <http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/>.
