Initial setup: Is it possible without using DSL?

Hi!
My wife bought a 2TB Time Capsule, to be used only as a wireless external hard drive, as we don't need the Extreme AirPort base part of it.
She's tried to set it up a couple of times without connecting it to our DSL box, but without success.
My question is simple: Is it possible to set up Time Capsule without having to connect to the internet, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance,

+First, your idea of connecting the Time Capsule to the modem would only be for the initial setup, right?+
To use this installation option, you would need to consider this as a permanent setup. If this will not meet your requirements, then two choices remain.
+Looks as if having two separate wireless networks might be the lesser of two evils+
Two separate networks would be the worst of two evils. If you cannot connect your modem and Time Capsule together permanently using an ethernet connection, then the next best option would be to have the Time Capsule connect to and "join" your existing wireless network. That is why I keep asking for the information to provide you with instructions to configure it this way.
If you want to go the two separate wireless network route, I just want to make sure that you understand that the Time Capsule automatically backs up any changes that you have made each hour. You will need to manually switch wireless networks for backups to occur. Do you really want to do this? If not, backups will be missed and delayed, and I cannot offer much assurance that you will have future reliable operation.
But, it's your choice and I offered to help with the setup if you will decide which route you want to take. It's either 1) Join your existing wireless network and everything will be pretty much invisible for your backups, or 2) setup a separate network and manually switch to the Time Capsule network each time you want to perform a backup. Which would you prefer?

  • Is clone Siebel server environment possible without using nsbrowse utility?

    Hi, can someone give me a quick firm answer about my question "Is clone Siebel server environment possible without using nsbrowse utility?" We try to automate the Siebel server enviornment using cloning and reconfig on Linux while nsbrowse is a utility only runs on Windows. Is there some command line commands that can be used as a replacement of nsbrowse editor utility? This is very important for us to made the decision on automation strategy. Thank you very much!

    "...hosted in a datacenter for high availability for when internal environment fails and the mail system is still up and running. "
    Yes, Office 365 (Exchange Online) would work perfectly with DirSync.
    If the requirement is for mail to work even when the internal environment is down, then do not implement AD FS because in that scenario, authentication is dependent on access to the domain controllers in the internal environment.
    As for simply hosting one's own server in Azure, I just read an article that recommends against it:
    - Exchange uses alot of resources. You would need a rather expensive configuration.
    - You would still be responsbile for the updates.
    - Your VPN connection would have to be very reliable. Exchange is constantly querying the domain controllers / global catalogs. EDIT - I see you wrote "without a VPN" - well, that's not possible. Exchange will never work directly across the Internet
    like that.
    I can't find the link to the article but there are others that also advise against that option:

  • Can I setup my ipad 3 without using a credit card? Can I just go to AT

    Can I just get AT&T to setup it up without me using a credit card?

    Yes. Do NOT create an Apple ID when setting up the iPad. You have to try to download a free app first in order to create an ID without a credit card.
    Do that after AT&T activates the iPad. Read this for information about setting up an Apple ID without using a credt card.

  • Initial setup of triple store for use with Jena

    I have an instance of Oracle 11g that I want to use as the Persistent data layer for Jena. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial covering this?
    I'm quite confused as to whether there's anything on the database server itself I actually need to configure, or whether I can just go to town creating models directly via the Jena API.
    Thanks from an oracle noob,
    joe

    For 11g server, there is no need to configure anything special to the database to use Jena. (Of course, you need to do catsem11i.sql and then invoke sem_apis.create_sem_network...)
    On the client side, you do need to download Jena Adaptor 2.0 (see the following links)
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/semantic_technologies/htdocs/documentation.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/semantic_technologies/index.html
    After than, just include sdordfclient.jar in your classpath together with ojdbc5.jar and Jena
    libraries.
    The following readme has some code snippets.

  • Initial setup on mac mini server without monitor?

    I have bought a mac mini lion server today. I do not have desktops in home, so no monitors.
    How can I setup/login into it? I tried Server Admin Tools, but I do not have root password (tried blank and serial number).

    I have a MBA late 2010. So, no thunderbolt.
    I was hoping connect to it using ssh to execute initial setup to be abble to use remote admin tool.
    The problem is that ssh do not accept root connection.
    Since I do not have any display at all, the idea would be to turn the server on and setup it. Since it is a server I thought I could do this without any issue.
    Linc. In your idea. How should I start mac mini in disk mode and how can I boot the MBA using mini internal drive?
    Any ideas?

  • Multi-mapping with message bundling but without using BPM

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement to bunch specific no. of records (say 50) from source message and create separate target messages for those bunches. For example, if the source message has 120 records, then there should be three separate target messages created containing 50, 50 and 20 records each.
    I am wondering whether this multi-mapping is possible without using BPM, as the typical no. of records in the source message are in the range of 600 to 800, and rarely (twice or thrice a month) they shoot up to 2000. So my concern is whether BPM would affect the performance. We are using PI at SP12.
    Regards,
    - Shankar.

    Sorry for late reply.. Well the sender is a file system, which sends a single XML file containing multiple records. (I mean I have a sender file adapter that polls periodically from a specific path and picks up the file when it is available)
    The no. of records in the source file may be different in each run. The requirement on the receiver system is that it can handle a file which has maximum of 'n' records only (say 50 in my example)
    Now the sender file can contain any no. of records. It may contain 10 on some day, or 200 the next day, or 120 on the third day. But on the receiver side, I want the files to be created such that each will contain AT MAX 50 records.
    So, if source file has <=50 records, then there will be only 1 target file having the same no. of records.
    If source file has between 51 to 100 records, then there will be two target files. One will have 50 records, and the second will have remaining records.
    And so on..
    Regards,
    - Shankar.

  • File-To-RFC without using BPM

    hey guys
    is a File-To-RFC scenario possible without using BPM? i have gone through the blog by Arpit Seth ( /people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit ) but it uses BPM.
    i am new to XI and not very comfortable with BPM.
    please let me know if BPM is the only way out or are there some other methods too.
    Also under what circumstances one should use BPM?
    thanx in advance.
    aamir suhail

    Hi,
    it's a standard non BPM scenario
    (you can find many weblogs like this)
    the only different thing is the RFC signature import
    (inside repository)
    and the use of different channels (file and RFC)
    you can find many examples in my XI FAQ

  • Using Synchronous webservice without using SAP XI

    Hi,
    I have a requirement of wherein which my client has provided me a dot net webservice which needs to be consumed in SAP R/3 using which i have to build an interface between SAP R/3 and the legacy system. This interface needs to be synchronous in nature.
    Please let me know how to handle this in ABAP and is this possible without using SAP XI / PI.
    Step 1:
    SAP r/3 ( sends data )------> (Webservice) Legacy system
    Step 2:
    (Webservice) Legacy system -
    > SAP R/3 (recives response from legacy system)
    Regards

    Hi Joel,
    You can use the webservie (SOAP or WS[if it is PI7.1server] adapter).
    By calling the webservice from the ABAP.

  • UC 520 initial setup trouble

    Hi -
    I've got a UC 520 and am having trouble accessing the device to configure the initial setup.
    I can connect using the console port, but I can't access the device thru CCA.
    I do not get an IP address using DHCP when connected.
    I can no ping the default port(s) 10.1.1.1 or 192.168.10.1 when using a static IP address on the same subnet.
    I followed the steps on uc500.com to update the sfotware to 8.0.1 and to using the factory-default configuration.
    I still can not access the device using CCA. The device also does not give out IP addresses to an IP phone when connected.
    ANY tips/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Press F2 while in CCA to view console logs while CCA does it's voodoo.
    In my experience enabling telnet helps ALOT, because in the logs CCA is constantly trying to telnet, but can't if it's disabled and falls back to HTTP.
    line vty 0 4
    transport input all
    Also make sure your interfaces are not shutdown. Assuming vlan 10 is your UC520 switch vlan:
    conf t
    int fa 0/1/0 - 8
    no shut
    int vlan 10
    no shut

  • How to restore data on new iphone without using the initial setup

    I bought a new iphone 5s today but the guy in the shop skipped the initial setup to activate the sim meaning I didn't get to restore the data through iCloud from my old phone as the wifi in the shop wasn't working. I have now got home to a wifi connection and have signed into my iCloud account but how do I restore my data? Or how do I get back to the initial setup?

    On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You can now restore your previous phone's backup to your new phone.

  • When using a personal dropbox account, is it possible to use the mapped drive without downloading all my dropbox files to my hard drive as well?

    When using a personal (not business) dropbox account on my mac book pro, is it possible to use the mapped drive only?  Currently I have dropbox mapped to my computer but it is also saving a redundant copy of the data on my hard drive.  My goal is to pull, edit and save files on the mapped drive only without having a redundant back up of all my dropbox files on my computer wasting valuable storage space.   Any advice out there?  Thanks in advance for your help!

    I don't believe that is accurate, but maybe I am missing something (I am not a Windows user).
    Looking at 2 explanation of how to map a Dropbox as a drive…
    http://lkeng.org/wp/?p=147
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d8uvseVr5A
    Both of those are linking to the 'local copy' of Dropbox. It is not a true 'network' drive as far as I can see (it still requires the local copy on the PC).
    Another video suggests using another service to mount the Dropbox, but that is not using Dropbox anymore, it is going through Otixo…
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIpm2qmglU
    Dropbox does not provide easy to use URL's to mount as a network disk so I don't think this is possible on OS X.
    Dropbox's forum has this too…
    https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202133795-How-to-ma p-dropbox-as-a-network-drive-on-Mac?loca…
    You may need to examine the Windows computers carefully - if they have Dropbox installed & running then all the files are stored on the local machine in addition to the 'mapped drive'.
    It looks to me like people are 'redirecting' the local copy to appear like a remote disk just so they can address that path on other machines - each PC is being setup the same. You could create aliases on OS X, but it doesn't help move files off the machine.
    Hopefully someone else will contradict me, but I don't think this is how Dropbox works.

    sure, you will need your iPhone running the latest iOS, an Airport Express and a wifi network....a computer for the initial setup of the router and Airport Express too.
    One you have complete the setups, the only thing you need to connect it's to make sure your wifi network is on and that your iPhone and Airport Express are connected to the wifi network.
    The airplay icon is then used to control which speakers you want to use.

  • Is it possible to use Airplay on AppleTV without a TV?

    Hi everyone,
    I had an apple airport and was able to play pandora through it just using my iphone 4s and stereo system (an old boombox that takes a regular 3.5 mm plug). I got rid of my Airport and got an AppleTV under the impression I could use the airplay function in the same way I used the Airport. I was wrong. Is there anyway to use the airplay function using the AppleTV without a TV? I have the proper optical cables and converter to adapt it to my boombox, I know this because I can hear apple tv requesting me to use the voice command over my boombox speakers. I currently do not have a TV. I plan on buying one in the next 6 months. Please help.
    Thank you

    I can confirm that Airplay with Apple TV3 does NOT mute the audio even when the HDMI out isn't connected to a TV.  As I said, however, you need a TV to do the initial setup.  After that, you can disconnect from the TV and connect (or leave connected) the optical out to the receiver.
    vazandrew is not completely off base, however.  Some time ago, there was a version of ATV firmware that had a bug which caused that problem.  I think the version was 4.22.  AFAIK, ATV3  firmware is now up to 7.x.
    If you still run into a problem, you may need to factory reset your ATV3 (including firmware update), then rerun the initial setup with TV attached.
    Good luck.
