How to tell 2500 series routers apart?

Can anyone tell me how the 2500 routers (2501, 2502 etc etc) are different?
JG.

Its very easy. Consider 250X where X = even or odd Just remember a few key points.
a. Most odd number ending routers have ethernet (10baseT) interfaces, while even numbers have token ring interfaces. The wan interfaces available on each series keeps changing as X increases.
2501 - 1 eth, 2 serial
2502 - 1 TR, 2 serial
2503 - 1 eth, 2 serial, 1 bri
2504 - 1 TR, 2 serial, 1 bri
b. 2505, 2507, 2516 are special routers with built in ethernet hubs.
2505 - 2 synchronous serial, 8 hub
2507 - 2 synchronous serial, 16 hub
2516 - 2 synchronous serial, 14 hub, 1 BRI
c. 2509-2512 are access servers, which means they have async interfaces. 2509, 2510 have 8 async ports, while 2511-12 have 16 async ports. 2509 and 2511 have ethernet interfaces, while 2510 and 2512 have token ring interface.
d. 2513, 2514, 2515 are routers with more than 1 ethernet or token ring interface or a combination of both.
2513 - 1TR, 1Eth, 2 serial
2514 - 2 ETH, 2 serial
2515 - 2 TR , 2 serial
e. The next few routers are not so commonly used, but good for old Token ring networks.
2517 has 12 port token ring hub with an isdn port and 2 serial ports
2519 has 24 port toekn ring hub with an isdn port and 2 serial ports
f. 2518 combines the functionality of Ethernet hub with ISDN bri and Synchronous serial ports, all in one router.
g. 2520, 2521, 2522, 2523 have higher port densities for WAN.
2520 - 1 Eth, 1 BRI, 2 sync serial, 2 async serial
2521 - 1 TR, 1 BRI, 2 sync serial, 2 async serial
2522 - 1 Eth, 1 BRI, 2 sync serial, 8 async serial
2523 - 1 TR, 1 BRI, 2 sync serial, 8 async serial
h. 2524 and 2525 are the only modular series of the whole lot. You can add modular cards (older wics, not compatible with any other router series)
The following cards are supported
i. 2-wire switched 56-kbps data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU)
ii. 4-wire 56/64-kbps DSU/CSU
iii. Fractional T1/T1 DSU/CSU
iv. Five-in-one synchronous serial

I think I left out 2506, but I cant find any
documentation on it.

  • How to tell your movie clips apart

    I have a dumb question. I have several video segments that have subtle differences. I've given them names that reflect this. To my amazement, this information does not seem to be recorded in iMovie 09. Is this application targeted towards illiterates? It must be, because previous versions had quite a bit of information stamped on the clip as it sat in the bin. I don't see it in iMovie 09 and I've looked everywhere. I really need this information and am dumbfounded it is not easy to find. It's like hiding the name of the file you are working on. Can anyone tell me where the name of each clip is located in iMovie 09? Thanks.

    In previous versions of iMovie you could double click on a clip and it would give you its information. The clip name was also right on the clip in the "bin." It is absurd to change this. I don't see how video is fed in--via a camera or otherwise--has anything to do with these missing features. What if you fed in a dozen video clips from your vacation, but they all had similar first frames. They would all look the same in iMovie. How would you put them in chronological order if you didn't put them in that way?
    As I move through I see even more missing features. I don't see how to name the clips in the Event Library. When I import clips they are not identified in the Library! They are just nameless items in the bin. The "Inspector" tool is nice, but why not include the name. Also, I see no way to edit the clips. What happened to the tools like "split at tape head" and other ways to delete portions of a clip? I don't see any of that in iMovie 09. Am I missing something easy or is this product really degraded from its previous versions. It almost looks like they want to force you to by FCP or Express. I mean after all, if all iMovie does is slap clips end to end I can do that in QuickTimePro. Thanks for any help. Sorry I'm so frustrated by this product. I expected it to be better.

  • Config. 2500 series for T1 link

    How do I configure (2) 2500 series routers for a T1 link. I have a 3750 at the core and the necessary cards for the 2500's. The 2500's are currently set up for bridging but I want to route instead. Are there any sample configs that I can look to? Thank you.

    Hi,
    Do you have MFT cards for your T1 or you will be using a T1 coverter. For both the options there is a different config.
    If you have MFT card like , VWIC-2MFT-T1
    Then, first you have to define the controllers T1 configuration and then configure the serial interface. An example would be :
    router(config)#conrollers T1 0/0
    (assuming the card is in 0 slot.)
    router(config-if)#Channel-group 0 timeslots 1-23
    router(config-if)#framing ESF
    router(config-if)#linecode B8ZS
    After configruing the T1 controllers, you configure the coresponding serial interface.
    router(config)#int serial 0/0:0
    router(config-if)#Ip address x.x.x.1 y.y.y.0
    Do the same settings on the other side, you are ggod to go.
    Please check the framing and line coding settings from you ISP as well.

  • 2500 Series IOS Download Location

    Guys i can seem to find a 12.0 IOS for my 2500 series routers.
    Can someone give me an idea as to where i might find this .bin or .tar file?

    Here's a link to the 12.0 page for 2501 - 2525 series.

    Choose your feature set and level and you should be good to go.
    You'll need a CCO account with a SmartNet entitlement to get the file. It's still licensed software and updated/upgrades are not free.
    If you want a one-shot update/upgrade, partners like www.cdw.com also sell single licenses.

  • Anyone know the name of the small coax used for antennas on most WRT series routers?

    I am looking for more information on the coax cable used on most WRT series routers.  It has a clear jacket, approximately 1/8" thick.  Only way to see is by opening your router, or looking inside the rubber part of antenna.
    I would appreciate any experienced assistance!

    Big Daddy, One other thing I forgot to mention is, If you open the case on your device, you'll instantly void any warranty that came with it. Also, bear in mind, any modifications that you make to the antenna system on this device could not only make the FCC approval that Linksys was given for the device null and void. Be very careful with anything like an antenna system on these devices, you can actually recieve RF burns if you contact any bare metal of the antenna system when it is transmitting. Just bear in mind that 2.4GHz is more less the same frequency that a microwave oven uses (although at a LOT lower power). As a radio ham, I've had the odd RF burn and I can tell you, they really hurt!.

  • How to recognize s-series daq card in DAQmx Base 2.0

    I installed the "DAQmx BASE 2.0", and then installed 3 PCI DAQ boards.  It can recognize PCI-6024E and PCI-6713, but not PCI-6133.
    I followed exactly the same procedure as in the document called "How do I use NI-DAQmx Base with PCI/PXI Devices on Windows?"
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/9C4E9FD0C7469BC286256F100074EADC?OpenDocument
    However, there is a web page (the link below) having labview example programs using DAQmx Base for "NI 6110 S Series Multifunction DAQ". So I think probably there is a way to recognize the S-series devices in DAQmx base.
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/722DDAB4E914073D8625708100773677
    Does anybody know how to recognize S-series device in DAQmx Base 2.0?
    Thanks

    Alan,
    Thank you very much for the quick response.
    The reason I explored DAQmx: I want to do RLP and DAQmx Base has a simpler interface and more examples for RLP.
    The reason I want to go RLP instead of DAQmx is a long story.
    Summary of my applications:
    I need to read 4 input voltage (using PCI-6133) and then generate 12 voltages (using two PCI-6713 each has 8 outputs). Since the 12 generated voltages are related to the 4 input voltages, single sample /N channel AD/DA is required. The speed for the overall control loop has to be >100 kHz.
    Summary of my configurations:
    PIII, 700 MHz CPU, 512 MB RAM
    PCI-6133 and PCI 6713, LabVIEW 7.0, and DAQmx 8.0
    I also have PCI-6110 and PCI-6024E cards for comparison
    Summary for 4 channel single point acquisition (See the table below, AD only)
    1) The difference between P3/700MHz computer and P4/3GHz computer is very small
    2) The S-series performed worse than E- and M- Series
         Spec (kS/s)   Tested by me(700MHz P3)   by NI engineer (3GHz P4)
    6024E   200/4            15.7 kHz                    17.36 kHz
    6040E   250/4                                        18.9 kHz
    6251   1000/4                                        23.0 kHz
    6133   2500/1            13.8 kHz
    Summary for single channel single point acquisition (See the table below, AD only)
    1) The S-series performed much worse than E- and M- Series (simultaneous sampling is worse?)
         Spec (kS/s)    Tested by me (700MHz P3)
    6024E    200/1           54.8 kHz
    6110    5000/1           19.4 kHz
    6133    2500/1           14.5 kHz
    Simulated device          135 kHz
    Summary for single channel single point AO (See the table below, DA only)
    The spec of 6024E is only 10kS/s, but the loop can run at 132 kHz (the output from the port was not correct for sure). Using a simulated device (either 6024E or 6713), the loop rate is ~ 134 kHz (probably due to my low speed computer). This means the latency from 6024E devices is virtually zero. However, the latency from 6713 is way too much.
          Spec (kS/s)   tested by me (700MHz P3)
    6024E    10/1             132 kHz
    6713   1000/1              38 kHz
    Simulated device          134 kHz
    From all the above tests, it seems that s-series device (6133) and AO device (6713) perform much poorly in single point mode compared to E-series device (6024E).  I thought the difference might be due to the driver in DAQmx.  So, I want to try RLP to see whether I can gain up control loop speed to 100 kHz for my applications.
    Your suggestions and advices are appreciated.
    Thanks

    What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
    If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
    Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
                     GarageBand 6.0.5
    GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system.  But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio.  Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

  • How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed

    Hello, we are trying to accomplish the same thing that is mentioned in this post from Metalink. I've searched for a solution and hope someone here can help. Instead of restating the issue I think David Wilson does a good job of explaining what is needed. Can anyone please suggest a possible solution?

    How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
    Hi,
    We run an oracle 10g forms application through 9iAS over an intranet. All users are running windows 2000 professional.
    We run separate frame = true but I would like to switch to separate frame = false
    With separate frame = true if the user clicks the outer windows "X" close button (forms mdi window) the user is prompted to save changes before the application ends.
    BUT
    when using separate frame = false
    If the user clicks the upper window "X" button (no longer form mdi window but regular browser window) the window and application is abruptly closed.
    I'm interested in using a onbeforeunload function to confirm if the user wants to close the window. This would be placed in the basejini.htm file. This could always ask if the user wants to exit or not. If they click OK then the window closes but if they click "Cancel" you are returned to the forms application exactly where you left. something like event.returnvalue="do you really want to exit?";
    However if the user exited using the normal exit form method then the applet is already closed before the onbeforeunoad event fires and there is nothing to go back to and I want the window to close automatically. This is accomplished using close.html file in post forms trigger.
    So what I want and what I think many may also want is the check if the embedded applet is still running and if so prompt the user to return to the application or continue to close. Of course If the applet is no longer running then just close because there is no reason confirm closing anymore.
    Does anyone have a html/JavaScript solution that can be placed in the jinitiator.htm file? or similar?
    Thank you
    David

    I don't know if this is exactly what you are after but you can add the following to the top of your basejini.htm file and it should prompt the user before exiting the IE window.
    <BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%>
    %HTMLbeforeForm%
    <SCRIPT>
    <!--
    window.onbeforeunload = unloadApplet;
    function unloadApplet(){

    Note.115905.1 How to Close Browser Window When Closing Webforms Applet
    Kind Regards,

    Subject: Re : How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
    Thank you for your reply and yes you did not understand my question fully.
    Sorry if this is a long reply
    I am able to close the browser window using information in notes 115905.1 and 201481.1, this is not the issue. We implemented this several years ago. It is workable for both separate frame = true or false.
    It is most important to not allow the user to end their forms application by closing the windows browser, they must close using normal form exit commands.
    What I want is to have separate frame = false, the big drawback to this option is the user can exit the application and bypass all forms code by pressing the windows "X" close button. This is why we need the code as just provided by Andrew Lenton above in this thread.
    BUT Andrew's code will always prompt the user before closing the window and I do not want that. I want the user to be prompted only under scenario 2 listed below.
    Here's the 2 case scenario for exiting the application.
    1. If the user closes properly and uses exit form which fires all normal form triggers including post_form with it's call to close.html file.
    All uncommitted changes are saved or rollback and the users session is ended normally both on the database and in the application server.
    All browser windows will close, great all is good. And without Andrew's code the window will close but with Andrew's code the user will be prompted to close or not, if they select Cancel the window will remain but the applet has already ended so why prompt? ...This is what I want to avoid.
    2. In the forms app. if the user clicks the windows "X" close button with uncommitted changes. The browser just closes the changes are rollback without prompting the user to save. The users sessions are now lost and still running in the database and application server until they are timed out.
    If I use Andrew's code then the user will be prompted to continue to close or go back, if they click Cancel to go back then focus returns to the forms application and the user can continue to work. If the user clicks OK then the window closes and unfortunately their sessions are still lost until timed out.
    So what I desire is to add to Andrew's code to check if the embedded applet is still running and prompt the user to close or not accordingly.
    Something like:
    Basejini.htm like
    </HEAD>
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    function maximizeWindow()
    window.moveTo(0,0);
    window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
    function confirm(){
    If(document.embeddedapplet.closed())
    Win.opener = self;
    win.close();
    Else if
    event.returnValue = "Closing Forms Application. OK to continue?";
    </SCRIPT>
    <BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%, onload="maximizeWindow()", onbeforeunload="confirm()">
    %HTMLbeforeForm%
    I hope this explains my requirements.

    I'm sorry this is not helpful at all.
    Note 199928.1 is only an alert which does not stop the closing of the window and still displays as an alert if the user does close properly using exit form ... so why would you want to display the alert then?
    This is exaclty what I do not want and why I want to determine if the applet is still running before displaying any kind of message.

    Closing thread.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    I had the same issue last year - wanting to provide a warning on closing the browser, but only if the Forms session is still running. The approach I took is described below, see also the thread where I originally posted this at Closing brower window
    Hi there,I've had a similar requirement - or rather, the two conflicting requirements: to warn when the browser is being closed, but for the app to be able to close the browser without a warning being fired.
    To always provide a warning when someone (the user or the Forms app) tries to go to a different page (e.g. your close.htm), use Javascript like:
    function confirmExit(){
    if(appletRunning==true) {
    msg="Closing this window or navigating to another page will end your SomeGreatApp session.";
    window.event.returnValue=msg;
    And make a call to confirmExit() in the onBeforeUnload event of your main page.
    You'll notice I first check an 'appletRunning' variable before displaying the warning. This Javascript variable is set to true by my app when it starts up, using an embedded Javabean that calls out to Javascript. Once that variable is set to true, then the warning will be displayed if the user tries to shut the browser by clicking on the 'x' button, or to go to a different URL.
    When my app is shutting down, it uses the same Javabean to set appletRunning back to false. It then navigates to a close.htm - which will be done without a warning being displayed.
    See Re: How can a Javabean call Javascript function of the basejpi.html?? for example code on how to call Javascript from a bean embedded in your Forms app.
    Hope these ideas help you out, it's worked for me (so far, anyway!!)

  • How to tell N6.5 DHCP to use a W2k8 for PXE?

    Hello,
    could anyone give me a hint, how to tell my netware DHCP to use a Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis with PXE Server?
    Actual Situation:
    Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
    Netware DHCP Server
    ZEN7 SP1 Imaging
    --> works fine so far, and no problem in other subnets, IP-helper are configured in the switches
    New Situation:
    Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
    Netware DHCP Server
    Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis Snap Deploy with PXE-Server - in future may be a clean Windows Deployment service without Acronis
    --> that would be nice :)
    I found serveral ini-files (dts.ini, pdhcp.ini, tftp.ini) where I configured the new IP-Address of the W2k8 PXE Server.
    Now:
    The Client gets its correct IP-Address from Netware DHCP
    but after that the following messages:
    Auto-select:
    ZENworks Boot
    Boot Server IP: --.--.--.-- (the correct one configured in the ini-files!)
    TFTP.
    PXE-T02:
    PXE-E3C: TFTP Error - Access Violation
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot.

This option should only be set if both DHCP and PXE services are on the same server (as is probably the case in your situation as I'm guessing both DHCP as also PXE get loaded in the same cluster resource script).
    For subnets serviced outside of the subnet your DHCP server is running in, you will need to configure multiple ip helpers: one that points to the DHCP server and one points to the PXE server so those requests on other subnets get serviced correctly.
    To get things running it's probably easier to try to get this to work on the subnet your DHCP and PXE server are running in (so you are not also having to deal with the ip helper setup just yet). If that works, then expand you configuration to different subnets & ip helpers.
    Hope that helps,
    Willem
    As a ps and for clarification, don't load the PDHCP on any of the NetWare servers... just have the PXE PDHCP service running on the Windows server.
    The PDHCP/PXE service for ZenWorks won't understand/work with the Arconis one and visa versa.

  • How to tell if Im on AT&T?

    Hey guys. I guess I live right on the edge of an area covered/not covered by at&t. I have noticed that my reception bars have changed from black and white to colored and I have even seen a E next to it. So my question is how do I make sense of the different colors or letters so I know if Im on AT&T or some other network?

    how to tell if Im actually using at&T's own cell towers or a competitors.
    You will never be using a competitor's towers. A competitor would be T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, etc. and you'll never connect to their networks. You may in some cases be using an AT&T partner. In this thread, one poster advised:
    "To get an indicator when you are roaming on an AT&T partner network, call 611 and ask them to activate the (free) "Off Network Alpha Tag" on your account. If they ask why, tell them you want to be a good guy and observe the (usually unenforced) data limits while roaming."
    Hope that helps.

  • How to tell if REQ1 is set active high

    Hi I am using the 6533 PCI-DIO-32HS card in a PC with traditional DAQ, looking at an existing design.  I could not find how to tell if REQ1 is set active high or low, guessing it would be set up in the DIO confg vi.

    thanks for the additional information, yes will have to wait for the external hardware.  I did have a general question about the 6533 data and control line outputs using traditional DAC.  I think for this design it is set up as a pattern IO transfer using internal REQ and an internal clock set up as a VI input, (DIO START).  Anyhow I am monitoring the card outputs with a logic analyzer and it looks like an 8 element array (of 8 bit integers) is being used for the data input (to the DIO WRITE VI) with the first 4 elements being written out on DIOA0-A7, DIOB0-B7, DIOC0-C7, and DIOD0-D7 followed by the last 4 elements also written out to DIOA0-A7, DIOB0-B7, DIOC0-C7, and DIOD0-D7.  Anyhow it looks like the clock input to the (DIO Start VI) controls the pulse width of the data.  It looks like REQ1 goes high approximately 78 microseconds before the first 32 bits are written out followed by 5 microseconds of data (with the clock set at 200k), finally followed by the second data group (5 microseconds of data).  It then looks like REQ1 stays high for 2-4 ms after the second group of 32 bits is written out before going low.   Anyhow if you are trying to clock this data into a storage device I would expect to see rising clock edges when both the first and second group of data appear on DIOA0-A7..DIOD0-D7.  I monitored all the other control lines pclk1,2 ack1 and did not see signal levels other than 0, again I do not have the DIO card connected to anything except a logic analyzer.  Would you know if it is typical to use REQ1 as a clock input to a storage device or if this can be done?

  • Fan how to tell if it works? What test can I do? G62-a17SA

    How to tell if the fan works? it works when Laptop powered up, but no other times.
    I've had it less than a year, and customer services, wont fix it unless I mail the receipt, which I cant find. i called the next day and said I will pay for it to be looked at, and replaced if needed. The price was £223.94. Which is 51% of the price I paid for the laptop originally, so I left it.
    I need to know if my laptop is save to use. It can get hot, I'm worried it could start a fire. The fan only comes on when I boot the laptop up, no other times. What software can I use to tests to see if it functions properly? then I know if i will have to pay to send it away. (not a dust or venting problem) also its a instant sudden one
    Please help

  • [Forum FAQ] How to tell if the DAC port is automatically changed or not

    Introduction
    Per Books Online:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189595.aspx
    SQL Server listens for the DAC on TCP port 1434 if available or a TCP port dynamically assigned upon Database Engine startup.
    Also, we can go to the following registry to specify the DAC port number manually:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
    The error log contains the port number the DAC is listening on. Besides looking at the error log, how to find which port is used by DAC connection and how to tell if the DAC port is manually set by us or assigned automatically by SQL Server?
    Solution
    The following query can be used to check if there is an existing DAC connection and it also give us the port number used by dedicated admin connection.
    SELECT name,local_tcp_port FROM sys.dm_exec_connections ec
    join sys.endpoints e
    on (ec.endpoint_id=e.endpoint_id)
    WHERE e.name='Dedicated Admin Connection'
    Here is the scenario to test if the DAC port is automatically changed or not.
    There are two instances are running on one server. I specified the same DAC port number 5555 for the two SQL Server instances by modifying the registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
    Opened the DAC connection to instance 1. Executed the above query, it returns the result:
    name                                                  
    local_tcp_port
    Dedicated Admin Connection               5555
    Then, opened a DAC connection to instance 2. It throw out the following error message:
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection because an error was encountered during handshakes before login.
    Common causes include client attempting to connect to an unsupported version of SQL Server, server too busy to accept new connections or a resource limitation (memory or maximum allowed connections) on the server..
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : TCP Provider: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine..
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection.
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection due to prelogin failure.
    The above error message was thrown out because the DAC port number 5555 was not available for instance 2 which was occupying by instance 1. After restarting the SQL Server engine service of instance 2, if checking in the registry, you would see a new DAC port
    number has been assigned to the second instance.
    Then, the DAC connection to instance 2 succeed this time and executed the above query, it returned the same port number which is same as the one in the registry key and the port number was assigned automatically.
    DAC port will not change even SQL Server service is restarted only if the TCP port is available.

  • I  am using the G Drive Slim to back up my files, but I don't know how to tell if or when it is finished.  The white light does not change, flicker, go out, etc.  When is it finished?

    The whole story:  The hard drive on my quite new Mac Book Pro, bought in December of 2011, crashed and burned in the Fall of 2012.  I purchased a new hard drive  and was informed that the only way I could have saved my "stuff" was to back it up with an external hard drive.  Who knew?? I bought a G Drive Slim at the Apple store, and on their advice.  BUT I  really don't understand how to use it, and the instructions are completely inadequate.  How can you tell when it is finished?  I have educated myself on the proper way to eject the Drive, but I don't know how to tell if it is done.  Or, frankly, if it is even doing anything.  The white light burns steadily, no blinking, no flickering.  Nothing.  Thanks for  help. 

    are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX"  meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
    Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
    a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
    To see your HD on your desktop GOTO  FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there,  and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.

  • How to tell if multiple files are selected when they are opened in windows

    Hello, can someone help me, my question is how to tell if multiple file selections were made when they were opened (right-click->open). Through modifying the registry I already have my Java program start up when a file with specific extension is double-clicked.
    The problem is when multiple files are opened at the same time, an instance of java program is created and run for each of the selected files. Ideally I would like it so that only one instance of java program is run, regardless of the number of selections.
    When you try it with Microsoft media player or winamp for example, it seems that only one process is created and run (I don't see many processes spawning when I watch it using task manager). Maybe this is more of Windows issue rather than Java programming issue. Any help is appreciated.

    If anybody wants to know, this can be solved by either 1) using DDE 2) using DropTarget (from Windows) 3) make a light-weight EXE dispatcher (eg. in C), and use file to have IPC between the dispatcher (which gets the filepath for each of the selections) and the java program. There can be other methods of course. Using the second option is the simplest but it requires WinXP and higher. I implemented it using option 3.. the downside of this is there's a warning message pop up when trying to open many (>20?) files at the same time by Windows. However, option 1 'seems' to have the same limitation. Having a java program created each time for each of the selections seems to be too slow, for viable option.
