Interface Trouble?

Hi
I have a 2950 switch. 24 port. IOS is c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-6.EA2.bin
Seems to be working OK but the unused and unconnected ports report as follows;
FastEthernet0/11 is up, line protocol is down
Hardware is Fast Ethernet, address is 0007.85bf.be8b (bia 0007.85bf.be8b)
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit, DLY 1000 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)
Full-duplex, 100Mb/s
input flow-control is off, output flow-control is off
ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00
Last input never, output 11w1d, output hang never
Last clearing of "show interface" counters 3w0d
Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
Queueing strategy: fifo
Output queue :0/40 (size/max)
5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer
Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
0 input packets with dribble condition detected
0 packets output, 0 bytes, 0 underruns
0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred
0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier
0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
I would expect the port to be down/down, not up/down.
Any thoughts out there?

Ian
Why would you expect an unused interface to be down/down? When we talk about interface state the first part represents the hardware state of the interface (from a hardware perspective, is the interface working) and the second part represents the protocol state of the interface (does it have layer 2 connectivity). If the interface passes the various hardware checks that the box performs it will report the interface state as up. If keepalives fail it will report the protocol state as down.
So if the interface passes the various hardware tests why would the interface state not be up?

  • Multiple VPNs on one interface troubles

    Hello. I am still pretty new to Cisco IOS, but I think I'm getting there.

    Every time I try to add the crypto map to interface f1/0, packet tracer crashes on me. So, can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

    Okay, I believe I got it. I needed to seperate the different ACL listings for the VPNs into different extended bits. Gonna see if I can create the mesh VPN network I wanted now.

  • Suite type interface, trouble reverting to selections window

    I'm working on the GUI for my program and I've ran into a little bit of trouble.
    My desired GUI:
    User starts with a JFrame (Manage), containing a splash screen and some buttons allowing them to choose which part of the package they want to run.
    User clicks a button, new JFrame(App1) pops up for that part of the application. Manage is minimized to the system tray and out of sight.
    User is done and closes App1, and then Manage appears back on screen.
    I am currently having two issues:
    1. After Manage minimizes to the system tray, App1 is appearing behind Eclipse. I'm not sure if this is just because I'm using Eclipse? I also have some system.out.println() calls and I'm thinking that is what is causing the trouble since Eclipse is displaying those and stealing focus. Is there a way to force App1 to retain focus?
    2. After the user is done in App1 and they close it, Manager is showing up in the task bar, but is not on the desktop. You must click on it in the task bar to get it to appear. I'm thinking this has something to do with the way I try to bring it back? The code below is how I handle minimizing to the system tray, and how I attempt to bring it back after App1 exits.
    // adjust properties for window and create tray icon with menu
            suiteManager.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    This makes an instance of the Dice class called 'dice'
    Dice dice = new Dice();
    This would call the 'roll()' method of that instance.
    int result = dice.roll(Dice.threeD6);

  • Output Configuration for Monitors/Mic and Interface Trouble Within Logic Pro X

    1.) I'm currently using a Shure SM58 connected to mic input 1 on an Alesis iO2. I'm getting no levels from the microphone itself when I attempt to record, and the levels on the interface itself are weak (never reaching above -20db). I'm new to this, so how in the world can I get this thing to record? My drivers are up to date regarding the interface.
    2.) I'd like to use my pair of speakers as my primary listening source, but I'd also like to monitor through the headphone port on my interface at the same time. Is this possible?
    There are obviously tons of questions related to these two, but I've exhausted a lot of potential solutions already with no luck.

    Hello Heart-A-Tact,
    The articles below explains how to setup your audio interface with Mountain Lion and Logic Pro X.
    The first step is to make sure you have the most recent drivers installed from Alesis.

  • Interfacing Problems Logic Express 8 - Prism Sound Orpheus

    Dear All,
    I am having some interfacing troubles between Logic Epress 8.0.2 and Prism Sound Orpheus Firewire interface everytime I am using a sample frequency other than 44,1 KHz.
    I have to say that in the past (with my Edirol Fireface FA-66, I was already able to record at 192 KHz, but since some month (also trying with the FA-66), I am getting this message:
    "Error while trying to syncronize Audio and MIDI. Sample rate 44100 recognized. Check conflict between Logic Express and external device (Actually, I am not doing anything at MIDI level, since I am just doing acoustic recordings of myself as baritone and my friend pianist.
    So, maybe, I have modified unconsciously somewhere and due to my inexperience, I am not able to understand where…
    What I do in Logic is: "File" > "Project Settings" > "Audio" and in "Sample Rate" I chose, for example "96000".
    After having armed the tracks I push the record button and just after a few seconds the process blocks and above message appears.
    There is an article on the support page of Logic, but, I as it seems either it does not work in my case or I am not able to make it work…
    Could you be so kind to help me?
    Many thanks in advance
    Marco

    I reply to both Caramby and John Alcock.
    Thank you again for your support and assistance.
    To John Alcock:
    1) What is your I/O buffer size set to in Logic? > 512
    2) Is ADAT set to 'none' in the Orpheus Control Panel > Yes (beautiful interface, BTW! > I also like it very much, thank you)
    3) What else is connected to your firewire bus? > Nothing else
    4) Did this problem appear at the same time as upgrading to 10.5.6? > Beautiful question: it could be. The problem is that I do not know what version I had when I bought the Mac (December 2007)... I looked on the backup copy of the CD-ROM but just "10.5" is mentioned.
    In any case I would like to stress that in the past with my Edirol I was able to record with Logic at 192KHz and then since various months (maybe also a year, in the meantime), I am no longer able to do this (now only at 44.1 Khz). Do you think this depends on Mac OSX 10.5.6? But why can I record with Audacity at 96KHz NOW and I cannot do the same with Logic?
    To Caramby:
    In the meantime I also contacted Prism Sound. They are informed of the problem and will analyze also my system profiler, which I sent today. I think in the next days I should get a reply from them.
    Any advice and comment is most welcome! Thank you again for your patience!

  • How to share a job with Compressor 4.1?

    Can anyone explain how to set up Compressor on two or more computers to share a coding job? I was never successful, neither with the old versions nor the new one. I have connected two computers running Mavericks via Ethernet. They appear in the preferences list of Compressor as inactive and can be selected (with a tick). Starting a job produces no error. Only the little network monitor window shows some activity: "inactive" (in white or yellow), sometimes: "not found" (in red). The computer which sends the job waits endlessly.
    I deactivated the firewall, connected the computer with DHCP or fixed IP but no success. What else do I have to do?

    Hi Steffen, hats off to you for gathering this valuable information!  I'm going to title this post:
    Setup Distributed Node Processing for Distributed Segmented MULTIPASS Transcoding in Compressor.app V4.1 (2013 version)
    Summary:
    A quick look at those logs of yours.., Qmaster is having trouble accessing its cluster storage and probably your transcode source and target elements.
    This is a bit of a giveaway - looks like the part time helpers at Apple didn’t look at it hard enough
    msg="CSwampService::startupServer: servicecontroller:com.apple.stomp.transcoderx couldn't advertise server, error = error: DNSServiceRegister failed: CRendezvousPublisher::_publish"/>
    <mrk tms="412112937.953" tmt="01/22/2014 20:48:57.953" pid="1975" kind="begin" what="log-session"/>
    <mrk tms="412113195.964" tmt="01/22/2014 20:53:15.964" pid="1975" kind="begin" what="service-request" req-id="D6BAF26C-DD43-4F29-BD72-81BC9CF25753:1" msg="Processing."></mrk>
    <log tms="412113209.037" tmt="01/22/2014 20:53:29.037" pid="1975" msg="Shared storage mount failed: exception = CNFSSharedStorage::_subscribe: command [/sbin/mount 127.0.0.53:/Users/steffen/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Storage/21D262F0-BF7EC314/shared] failed, error = 61"/>
    Let’s look at this and then propose a clean method of establishing and consolidating your cluster.
    Simply the Bonjour service is having a hard time trying to find you and also qmaster been running ragged trying to mount your Cluster 21D262F0-BF7EC314 storage.
    Let's fix it.
    Basics for the above with Compressor v4.1 and Qmaster.
    much has been abstracted from the user to help easy implentation and use. This is good me thinks!
    avoid ticking every option that is available on each host , such facilities aggravate and add to the complexity of your workflow environment
    isolate the network subnets to use for all host access, file system paths, communication, diagnosis, monitoring  and finally data transfer (see later)
    use source objects that will develop segments that will be distributed for processing. A 3 minute clip generally won't segment to cause distribution.
    review any workflow gains by distributed transcoding: slow node hols up process and additional time to assemble qt segments. A cluster dedicated to an iMac or macpro can often be faster.  (Have several clusters defined and submit accordingly (long , most and short )!!)
    All elements/objects used in the source and any target folders SHOULD (not must) be mounted and accessible by each Qmaster node.  You can use sym links I recall. For reasons of efficiently and easy of diagnosis.   
    So.. I'd propose you try and test your setup as follows .
    Try this and start from beginning.  Do your best to perform these work instructions. Try also not to deviate if u can
    Simple Architecture Approach:
    Your main Macbookpro or main work mac (refered to by you as "master") shall be designated the qmasterd controller that services batch submissions AND that also provides transcode services.
    The other macs ("service or slave nodes) will ONLY perform transcoding services and will NOT accept batch submissions.  The slaves / service nodes  will not be able to send their jobs to your master controller for transcoding for example.
    Keep it simple! and please follow these steps.
    Step 1: Quiesce your clusters and Qmaster
    in Compressor.app v4.1 / Preferences / Shared Computers, stop / disable all hosts (both your macs) from automatic file sharing - tick it OFF (it causes issue u have).. More later
    In Compressor.app v4.1 / Preferences / My Computer, stop / disable all hosts (both your macs) stop allowing others to add batches to your host. Slide to OFF
    On all hosts, quit or force out compressor.app v4.1
    On all hosts (macs) use activity monitor.app or unix ps command to Force Quit ( or kill) any currently running qmasterd task and any compressord tasks if you can.
    On all hosts, purge | clean out | delete  the Qmaster and compressor structures. This is documented by several of us on this forum but fundamentally you want to preserve your settings and destination templates and delete the rest.  Do these sub-steps on all hosts where u intend to deploy compressor/Qmaster for your distributed transcode processing
    a. Navigate to /Users/shared/library/Application Support/ and delete the Compressor folder if it exists. By all means use the osx Finder to put it in the trash or just use the faithfully unix rm command to delete it immediately without serialisation : rm -rf /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Compressor
    b. Navigate to your home directory ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor and move or copy any personalised values to your desktop so we can reinstate them later. Copy these two folders if they exist.
    Settings
    Layouts
    And also copy /move any customised destination templates that u used. These are files ending in ".template"
    Now using the Finder or unix command delete your ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor folder and all it's objects such: rm -rf  ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor
    c. Dismount (+E or drag into trash) any shared file systems you have manually or automatically shared between your hosts. (Your two macs) . Turn off any auto mounts you may have setup in login items for Qmaster and your source and target libraries.
    d. After you have done Steps 1a - 1c on all your hosts ,
    then RESTART
    and log back into your hosts
    attempt to delete the trash on each.
         6. Check the activity monitor and confirm there are no compressord sub tasks running. Qmasterd might be running. That's ok
    Step 2: set up your dedicated network for your transcoding cluster .. Important!
    In this step you will isolate your cluster network to a dedicated subnet. BTW ,o DNS is needed unless you get exotic with many nodes!
    You will:
    use the macs Wifi network as your primary network for NON TRANSCODING work such as email, internet , iChat, iCloud and bonjour (.local) I'm assuming u have this in place
    use the Ethernet on your macs as your dedicated Qmaster cluster subnet.
    For this procedure will make an IP address range 1.1.1.x subnet and manually assign the IP addresses to each host. Ofcourse you can use a smart DHCP router if u have one or a simple switch and use OSX SERVER.app erver 10.9 ($HK190 , €19) on your MAcbookpro... The later for another time
    a). using system preferences/network on your controller mac("master"), configure the built in Ethernet to manual IP address of 1.1.1.1 Yes yes, dhcp would be nice if we also had a dns for this subnet to identify each host (machine name) however we don't. Leave the subnet default to 255.255.255.0, and router to 1.1.1.1 .. It's not escaping anywhere! ( very private LAN for your cluster! )
    b) repeat step 2a to set the other "slaves" service node only macs whose built in Ethernet to 1.1.1.2 , 1.1.1.3 and so on
    c) connect these hosts (macs) ethernets together in a dedicated hub / zoned switch or if only two macs, just use a cat5/cat6 Ethernet cable
    d) on each host (mac) using system preferences/network check for a Green light against the built in Ethernet
    e) on each host (mac)system preferences/network to make a new network configuration (so that you can fall back incase of error) :  using system preferences/network make a new network location on each mac
    - edit the Location listbox, edit and DUPLICATE the current location
    - select and over type the name and change it to "qmaster work" or some name u like save and close the dialogue
    - back in sys prefs / network select your new location "qmaster work" (from the location list box and "apply"
    - now click the gear wheel icon on lower left and Reorder the network interfaces so that the WIfi is top (first) followed by Builtin Ethernet .
    - click "apply"
    - confirm Ethernet is still green status
    Do this on each host (mac) .. The slave/service nodes
    f) on each host (mac) verify that you can address each mac over you new subnet. There's many ways to do it however do it simply via the /applications/utilities/Terminal.app.
    From mac #1 whose IP address is 1.1.1.1,
    Enter:
    traceroute 1.1.1.2 press return and one line should come back.
    ping 1.1.1.2 and a continuous lines appear with packets and time is ms. Watch 3-4 then use control+C to stop
    Do the same to the other nodes you may have such as 1.1.1.3 etc
    Repeat the above from the other hosts. For example from one of the service (slave) macs say 1.1.1.2, t
    Test the network path back to your main mac 1.1.1.1: using terminal.app from that slave,
    Enter:
    traceroute 1.1.1.1 press return and one line should come back.
    ping 1.1.1.1 and a continuous lines appear with packets and time is ms. Watch 3-4 lines then use control+c  to stop
    At this point you should have a solid network path between your hosts over Ethernet on the subnet 1.1.1.x
    Step 3: mount all filesystems over the Ethernet 1.1.1.x subnet that are to be used for transcoding source (input | read )  and target (output | to be written )
    Simplicity is important at this stage to make sure you know what being accessed.  This is one reason for disabling all the automatic compressor settings
    You will use the Finder's "Connect to Server" (+k) from each slave (server) node to access the source and target filesystems on your master mac for the transcoding.
    These can be saved as favourites in the "Connect to Server" dialogues
    Do this:
    A) locate the volumes / filesystems and folders on your mac master where your source objects is contained. Do the same for where the final distribution transcode is to be written with you user access.. "Steffen"
    B) On each slave mac, use the Finder's "connect to server" dialogue to MOUNT those folders as network volumes on your slave macs
    mount the Source folder. Finder / Go / Connect to Server  or +K
    enter "[email protected]//Users/steffen/movies/my-fcpx-masters. ( choose you source directory path) .
    Click connect & password and use the "+" sign to save as favourite
    - mount the target folder. Finder / Go / Connect to Server  +k
    - enter "[email protected]/users/movies/my-fcpx-transcodes. ( choose your target directory path) . Click connect n password and use the "+" sign to save as favourite
    Do these for all your slave macs.  Remember you are specifying file paths over the 1.1.1.x subnet
    Obviously make sure your slaves have read and write access. Yes and you could also mark these folders and Shared in Finder info then everyone can see them ... your choice
    C) verify your access: on each slave use the finder to create a ftest older in those recently mounted volumes. Delete the test folder.
    So now all your networks and workflow folders are all mounted and accessible by your slave hosts and it's user
    step 4: Set up Compressor v4.1 and Qmaster
    Care is initially required here NOT to click needlessly on options.
    Recall that you purged most of the compressor.app v4.1 state information on step 1. ?
    Compressor.app v4.1 will appear new when u start it. 
    on the master mac 1.1.1.1 , launch compressor.app v4.1
    open compressor v4.1 preferences (command+,)
    using compressor.app V4.1 preferences:
    My Computers tab: turn OFF . Don't allow others to process on this computer
    Share Computers tab: UNTICK (disable) automatically share files.
    Advanced tab: WHen Sharing My Computer listbox: select Ethernet as the preferred network interface 1.1.1.x). Don't use all interfaces : - trouble
    Do not specify additional instances yet! Less to troubleshoot
    On each slave mac 1.1.1.2 -1.1.1.x
    launch compressor.app v4.1
    open compressor v4.1 preferences (command+,)
    using compressor.app preferences:
    My Computers tab: turn ON (yes ON) to allow others to process their stuff on this slave computer
    Share Computers tab: UNTICK (disable) automatically share file
    Advanced tab: WHen Sharing My Computer listbox select Ethernet as the preferred network interface 1.1.1.x). Don't use all interfaces : - trouble
    Do not specify additional instances yet! Less to troubleshoot !
    On the master mac, 1.1.1.1
    using Compressor.app v4.1, select destinations and add a new CUSTOM destination and navigate the dialogue to your target folder you specified in step 3b ~/movies/my-fcpx-transcodes as an example.
    Use this custom destination on the batch later
    in Compressor.app V4.1 preferences/Shared Computers, click the plus "+" sign in bottom left cornet to create a new cluster called "unnamed ".
    - click in the name and change the name to "Steffenscluster" (I'm not connected to my network as I do this..)
    - tick on the slaves 1.1.1.2 to 1.1.1.x to add the to your new cluster .. assumethee are on the right in a list.
    Your cluster "Steffenscluster" is now active!
    Care care! One more thing to do. You SHOULD make the cluster storage for master 1.1.1.1 available to all your slaves. This is important for this test !!
    On the master 1.1.1.1, Use the finder to verify that you have these directories built from compressor.app v4.1
    /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Compressor
    and your own home directory: ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor
    Dig deeper for the /storage folder in each to see the hexadecimal named folder that represents this cluster "Steffencluster"!
    These should be manully mounted on each slave. Recall we DISABLED automatic file sharing.
    on each slave mac 1.1.1.2 - 1.1.1.x, mount the masters cluster storage file systems. Do this for verifying access of each cluster Slave
    on each slave mac, use the Finder's "connect to server" dialogue to MOUNT those folders as network volumes on your slave macs
    mount Qmaster cluster storage folder 
    Use Finder / Go / Connect to Server  or +k
    enter "[email protected]/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Storage
    Click connect & password and use the "+" sign to save as favourite
    - mount users Qmaster cluster storage folder 
    Use Finder / Go / Connect to Server  or command+k
    enter "[email protected]/Users/steffen/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Storage
    Click connect & password and use the "+" sign to save as favourite
    This you may have 4 new network volumes (file systems) mounted on each mac slave over your dedicated 1.1.1.x subnet!
    Step5: submit a job
    On master mac 1.1.1.1 launch the new compressor.app v4.1 "Network Encoder Monitor " .. Use +E . new in COmpressor.app V4.1
    You should see all your nodes all cluster service points for your master and slaves.  Heres you see just one (this macbookair!)
    On each host (mac) Launch the activity monitor.app and filter compressord .. There they are on each host! 
    Nearly there.  
    On the mac that's the master 1.1.1.1 (controller )
    Submit a job:
    Use finder to move some footage etc that more than 15 mins for example into your source directory folder from step 3b (eg ~/movies/my-fcpx-masters.)
    In compressor.app v4.1 Add this +I to the batch
    Drag your custom destination on to the batch
    Set your encoding setting (apple devices best)
    Open the inspector in compressor.app and select "video" and make sure MULTIPASS is checked. Then change to frame controls at your leisure.  Better means slower
    Select the General tab and make sure JOB SEGMENTING is ticked!
    Now cross fingers and submit it (or +B)
    Step 6: Monitoring the Workflow Progress
    In compressor.app v4.1 Use the active tab to watch the progress
    Open the disclosure triangle and see the segments
    Unfortunately u can really see which node is processing. (No more share monitor .. btw for those who care.. thats buried now in /Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/PlugIns/Compressor/CompressorKit.bundle/Contents/Embedde dApps/Share Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/Share Monitor
    Look at the network encoder monitor (cmd + E) to see the instances processing your work
    Lots of small and overdetailed steps here Steffen and its worth working through.
    Simply all these things need to be availble to get your cluster to work EVERYTIME.
    I might update this and post a more detailed disalogue/transcript on my blog and post it here.
    Epilogue:
    I for one rather like the new compressor.app V4.1. Qmaster is buried and works well when not teased or unintentionally fooled.
    I would like the ability to :
    specify the location of the qmaster cluster storage rather than have it in the root systems file system - I used to have it on my disk array
    compressor to be applescriptable
    Post your results for others to see.

  • I am having trouble with my Mac Mini's ethernet connection.   Defining a new network interface shows no ethernet adaptor.  Reloading SL from DVD repaired.  But SL update lost ethernet again.  Will Lion Fix?

    I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet.  It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
    Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
    But yesterday, after a power up.  my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
    listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more.  And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
    no ethernet available.
    As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD.  (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
    The ethernet worked!  But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
    So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
    Now the Ethernet is not working again.  I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
    Is this a problem seen by others?
    Would going to Lion fix the problem?
    Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
    If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?

    Have you reset the SMC?
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
    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 4.
    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.
    Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

  • Trouble updating a GUI interface - in SOS state

    hi there,
    I have some trouble implementing this GUI related code, but what it basically does is it removes the certain component of the jframe (removes one of jpanels) and attaches a newly created panel.....I posted up the same topic last night, and somebody provided me with helpful hint about using various methods in the class Component (ie Component.add, Component.remove, Component.validate, etc). I looked it up on the java.sun website for these methods, and actually tried them.....it does sort of work, except the interface looks kinda distorted after the update (ie. when i move the mouse cursor around the updated area, some components of the panel appears and disappears. So, without dragging it any further, I will once again explain in detail what I want this program to do, and then provide you with the code (I actually want to validate this code and see whether I am doing things in logical sense.
    Basically, the JFrame is divided into the following:
    A menu consisting of different integers (the selection of the menu determines
    how the interface is being changed) --- Located on very top of the interface
    A Jpanel, which contains three different sub-JPanels (used Border-Layout to divide
    this)
    North panel - contains two checboxes (but this does not has to do with my
    topic now)
    Centre panel - contains set of labelled radio buttons (THIS CHANGES
    UPON THE SELECTION OF THE MENU; THE LABEL BESIDE EACH BUTTONS CHANGE
    EVERYTIME THE MENU IS SELECTED)
    South panel - contains two JButtons (but again, not a concern at all)
    So this is the code, that I wrote in order to update the Centre part of the Main JPanel (ie. remove the sub-JPanel which already exists on the centre and add the newly created JPanel to Centre
    p_jvecframe.getContentPane().remove(2);
    p_jvecframe.getContentPane().validate();
    p_jvecframe.getContentPane().add(jpanelVECTORS, "Center");
    p_jvecframe.getContentPane().validate();
    p_jvecframe.repaint();Bit confused with one of thing:
    from Component.remove(int index), how does this index work? Is this like an array, where the top (or first in case of array) object on the Component is always integer 0?
    Your ideas and suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Young

    Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
    Generally when you add or remove components from a panel you should use revalidate() on the parent container.
    However, in your case maybe a better option is to use the CardLayout, which is designed specifically for this this purpose. Read the Swing totorial on "How to Use a Card Layout":
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.htmlWhen adding components to a BorderLayout, you don't need to remove the component first since only one component can exist at a given position at any time. So in the case of a BorderLayout, I don't know if "index 2" means anything in particular.
    It does make sense for a FlowLayout. Since every component added is just added to the end of the layout. Therefore you can reference the components in the order in which they are painted on the screen.

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • Trouble with interface class

    Hi there,
    for a school project we're building a helicopter which can be controlled via the computer. We're going to connect some wires to the remote control of the helicopter and the wires we also connect to a LabJack (a digital/analog converter). Via java we can give signals to this labjack and control so the helicopter. Only one thing: I've downloaded the library for labjack for java. You can see this labrary, it called LabJackJava: http://www.teravation.com/downloads/LabJackJava.zip
    In it is a few classes and one of them is called LabJack (this is in fact a interface). In the interface there is a method called: void setAO(int channel, float value) throws LabJackException;
    This method I'm going to need to set the voltage on the wires. For compiling I use the program BlueJ (which is a object-orientated compiler). But because the the class LabJack is a interface, I cannot call the method setAO(). How can I solve this?? I also had some trouble with the System.loadLibrary("ljackj"); in the class LabJackDriver. I copied the file ljackj.dll into the folder system32 (windows) and it still doesn't work... Is this dll essential for the working of the class LabJack??? How can I solve this???
    Please help me!!
    Thanks!
    Héctor van den Boorn

    This is a forum for the Java programming language, not for every program and library ever written in Java. The LabJack site has a support area and forum, which should be the right place to seek a solution.
    That said, the documentation indicates that you obtain a LabJack reference from the appropriate method of LabJackFactory. The reference returned will be that of a platform dependent concrete class that implements the interface.

    I am having trouble sending an audio signal from my computer (mac pro early 2009) to my TV.  Is there some interface or adapter that allows /enables the audio input from my computer to be sent to the TV (R,L signal?) any suggestions

    just  the audio, eh?. If you were using DVI or DisplayPort that might be different, but for audio alone, it shouldn't be that hard.  Just grab a 3.5 mm stereo plug to 2 rca cables adapter. Plug the smaller end into the back of your Mac Pro (or the Front), where you see either the headphone or speaker icon). Alt-click on the speaker icon at the top of your screen to show all audio inputs and outputs. Make sure it's set to Line Out.  Plug the red and white end into the audio in jacks on the back of your tv and set it to the correct input. I don't know if your tv will allow just the audio to play. Usually one has to connect up something else, but hopefully I'm wrong.  If you were using DVI, or DisplayPort, you'd need an active DVI--HDMI adapter or a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, but
    I don't know for sure

  • Troubles with Agilent gpib/usb interface

    I have a problem to use Agilent 82357A gpib/usb interface with NI VISA (os Win98). I have Visa3.0.1. I did all what is written in file niinfo.htm, which containes some advices for running the agilent gpib/usb card with NI software(it is in directory prog. files\agilent\IO Libraries\readme\trouble\) and I also tried most of advices written on the web pages of ni.com. In MAX3 I can only see "miscellaous VISA resources". When I run NIVISAAIC, I can communicate with interface as well as with instrument attached to it. When I close nivisaaic, it returns arror message, that program performed unauthorised operation in module agvisa32.dll. It indicate that trouble is between libraries of NI and Agilent. I tried to install agilent gpib/u
    sb driver in many ways, only SICL, or SICL + agilent visa (secondary, side by side), but nothing works. When I run Getting started wizard in run-programs-national instruments-Ni.488.2, it detects no gpib hardware, even MAX indicates some "miscellaous VISA resources". Is there somebody with experiences how to solve this problem.? Thanks

    1. I have tried method 1 in that KB you have adviced me. I uninstalled Ni-Visa and instaled HP-Visa (is not clear from the KB description, if HP should be primary or secondary, side-by side. I tried both configurations). Of course MAX does not find gpib board in any case. To solve this problem in the KB is written "you must right-click on the control or constant and select "Allow Undefined Names." In this step I stopped, because in the MAX I did not find where this "constant or control" is. I tried to do right-click on "devices and interfaces", but only "Create new..." menu appears. The right-click on anything in the MAX does not open the menu which contains "Allow undefined names". Can you please, specify where this right-click should be done to allow undefined names and to continue with method1 to reach the goal of using LV for data aquisition.
    2. Then I tried method 2 from the KB. I have uninstalled HP-visa; HP-SICL and Ni-Visa3.0 is installed, NiVisaTulip.dll passport is allowed and F5 refresh made. In MAX in the section Devices and Interfaces I can see "? Miscellaneous VISA resources" with "GPIB1::22::Instr" (it is for one device with address 22). Instead of "? Miscellaneous VISA resources" I expected, there will be written something like GPIB1(USB-GPIB). In this point I have few questions.
    a) Is it correct if there is only "? Miscellaneous visa resources"?
    b) If I configure usb/gpib card with Agilent config. utility to SICL name gpibn and visa name gpibn, where n is some integer, MAX shows everytime gpib1. There is only one gpib card installed in the PC, so I expect there will be gpib0 in the MAX.
    Now, when I run nivisaic, I can see gpib interface named gpibn with gpibn::22::instr. I can communicate through this interface to the instrument in the session opened by double-click on the resource. In the Nivisaic there is also another interface marked as unknown-gpibn::intfc and gpibn::servant. I cannot communicate with this interface. When I install HP SICL with HP visa as secondary, side-by-side, this "unknown gpib" disappears. Then nivisaic seems to be OK(but MAX still shows "? miscellaneous visa resources"),the status of each operation in NI Spy is succesfull. I think I did everything required in method 2 of KB but, I cannot perform any data aquisition by LabView. Are there further thinks to do for starting data aquisiton? Thanks for any advices.
