Is a NID needed for DSL service?

I just signed up for "High Speed Internet" (aka DSL since FiOS is not yet available in Baltimore city). I am doubtful I will get the promised speeds of Downloads up to 3 Mbps / Uploads up to 768 Kbps because the wiring is so old from the telephone pole to the house that I do not even have a Network Interface Device (NID) on the outside of the house. I should add that I am about to install fresh wire on the inside of the house from where the phone line comes in to the point where the phone line will hook into the modem, so my inside wiring will be fine. Do I have anything to worry about? Will they definitely install a NID for me and redo the wiring from the poll to the house since it is 30+ years old? I should add that I do not have home phone service and do not need it either.
I just called Verizon to try and schedule the DSL technician and the one lady told me they turn on the DSL from a central location and there is no need for the technician to even come to my house so they will not install a NID while another lady told me that the technician will come out to my house and test the signal. I was just trying to be proactive today in calling to set up an appointment when I would actually be home since if they do install an NID they will possibly need access to the interior of my house to hook up my interior wiring to the NID. They wouldn't even let me push back the appt to a few days past the due date and none of my questions were answered.
I have a feeling that no matter what happens, it will be a fight to get them to replace the 30+ year old wiring that comes from the poll to my house. I am just assuming that this wiring is likely not new enough to get me the promised speeds (Downloads up to 3 Mbps / Uploads up to 768 Kbps). Anyone have any insight or advice for me?

No NID needed. I had DSL (moved to FiOS), and my copper pair ends with a porcelain block. My guess is the copper pair is upwards of 70 years old (the house dates from 1926).I had DSL service for about 15 months with Verizon before moving to FiOS. The service to this house long predates NID's.
That's the good news. The bad news was that if I could hear thunder, my DSL service was down, and it also degraded substantially in bad weather. While on good days I could just about get to the 3mbps downlink, 650kbs was about the best I could ever do on the uplink. The modem reported horrendous losses (60+db) on the link, which mean fairly high transmit power on both ends which ultimately may impact modem life.
Anyway once you are installed, you can connect to the router/modem and see what the modem has been able to negotiate with the CO. It will be in the log everytime the DSL connection is initiated.
Ultimately the DSL performance depends upon how good or how bad the copper pair is between your premises and the CO. Even ancient copper can work quite well if the distances are short.

System processes needed for web service call

Hi experts,
one theoretical question: how about the system processes needed for a web service call? If have created a test service that does nothing except to wait for 10 seconds. When I call it from outside, no extra process is busy (as seen in trx SM50). Is it possible that one web service call (from outside -> SAP machine) does not need a DIA or BTC process on SAP machine?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards, Matthias

Hi,
Of course a web service needs a dialog workprocess to run.
But if you used the "wait" abap instruction, it may be that this instruction frees the work process ?

SVI needed for WiSM service-port?

I currently have a vlan/SVI on my 6506 for the WiSM service-port. The WiSM has an address on the same subnet. To manage the WiSM, I either https to the Management interface address or use 'session slot X proc Y' from the the 6506. Since I am essentially only using two addresses from a subnet for this service-port I would like to free up the subnet. Can I keep my current functionality by having a vlan only (with the wism service-vlan XX command) with no SVI? Thanks.

Yes, correct. You dont have to have this as a SVI. You can just drop them into the vlan with no SVI. So long as the WiSMs have a service port and IP and they are on the same subnet in the same vlan you are good.
After you set this up do a show wism status .. You should see thet are all up.
In fact I bloged about a security issue with the service port and the SVI interface. Its a good read..

URGENT! BT line needed for LifeLine Service!

My parents are trying to get a phoneline installed into a new-build bungalow for my Gran who replies on a lifeline pendant. They called in the middle of March to order the phone number to be transferred to the new address only to be told the earliest that it could be done was 28th April! They eventually managed to get someone to agree to 8th April but that date was put back and they were promised 16th April, the day before my Gran was to move home, on that day aparently two engineers were supposed to turn up, because the 2nd engineer arrived before the first, he found initial work hadn't been completed and left the property. We're not sure whether engineers have even turned up as the wiring is already installed and the bungalow was locked. move date has come and gone and still no phoneline despite BT making various excuses. My Mum is at the end of her tether with the constant stream of excuses, today she's received a text message saying that the phone line is now active (the phone is dead) and when calling to report it, she's been told the order has been cancelled.
My Gran relies on lifeline and the lack of a phone means that this is putting her life at risk as well as unneccessary worry for my Mum and stress in trying to deal with the call centres who seem to have a different excuse everytime something is not done. Is there somewhere (preferably in the Uk) we can get in touch with so the phoneline activation can be managed properly as I do believe the overseas call centre staff do not understand and/or do not care about the seriousness of the situation we're in?
Solved!

Roles needed for AXL Serviceability access on CCM5+

So far, unless I add my application user to the superuser group, I'm unable to make any risport queries.
Has anybody figured out what role controls access to the AXL Serviceability interface?

Hi Stephan
Do you have any update to this problem? I am trying to run an application without the superuser rights, but I was not successful. The error message is: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https:///realtimeservice/services/RisPort

Signing up for DSL service

Ordered high-speed internet service online on Oct 1 and there was no response from Verizon for 18 days - when I finally got through, they made me wait an hour or so before they announced they will have to redo the order.. what a waste of time.

Hey Murthy, did you get your new order done since the first had an issue.

And no it's not a problem for AppleCare as they can check your serial number and name on their database.

Solaris 8 config for DSL

I want to reconfigure my standalone SunBlade100 for DSL service. The OS is Solaris 8 10/01, and is currently configured for dial-up access to an ISP.
I've edited the etc/hosts, etc/resolve.conf, and etc/nsswitch.conf files, and I created an etc/defaultrouter file containing the gateway IP address.
Sun PPPD 4.0 is installed, and includes PPPoE.
My question is what else do I need to do in order to complete the configuration?
Are there any good references for Solaris DSL configuration?
Thanks in advance?

Hello,
I supose that its an errata but its /etc/resolv.conf and not /etc/resolve.conf.
Your access internet via a router. I don�t know about DSL but if it�s a standar router you shoudn�t have to configure pppd, just a normal network access with the routing and the naming service properly configured.
If you edit /etc/defaultrouter, the changes will take effect on the next reboot, so maybe you�ll have to add a route manually if you cannot shutdown the machine:
route add default your_router_ip
This way you should ping your router, if the routing is properly configured your dns server too (specifying it�s IP) and finally if the naming service is well configured, any Full Qualyfied Domainame on internet.
Try this and post the results. Bye,

Is there a need for internet on iphone while you wan to locate it when you lost your iphone?

I lost my iphone and I am trying to locate my iphone using the Icloud-Find my iphone, but it shows offline, so I just wanna know if is there a need for internet service on iphone or it works with the location service only?? Cz it shows offline, help plz

Maybe the networks have different services, cause here in Afghanistan I had a ROSHAN network simcard in my iphone, it shows your current location on the map if the map is already downloaded in a limited area, but if the map is not downloaded it shows the current location in a blank page even when I turn off the 3G and cellular services.
That’s what I was using here. Thank you any way.
Have a good time.

Using a Publish Service for print service prep

I'm just starting to work out a new way to prepare images for sending to a (consumer grade!) print service using a Publish service, and realized I should harness the power of this corner of the Lightroom community to see if my ideas are sound. Feel free to add comments or suggestions.
Here's what I'm doing:
- For each size and processing option (e.g., 5x7, Matte) create a hard drive Publish Service.
Set options appropriately, such as:
- Filename for clarity. I use custom name + orig file number. (There appears to be a small display bug, in that the example displayed will show the " dng.jpg")
- Given what I've learned about Lr and JPEG compression, I reduce the quality to 80% or so for a nice quality/size balance. I don't want to have to muck with this too much.
- My service does not have an ICC profile for me to use, but assure me that AdobeRGB is accepted by their equipment. So that's what I'll use. (One day I'll try out a pro service that understands that a simple thing like an ICC profile makes us feel warm and fuzzy.)
- Resizing to fit. I set to never enlarge (though it should never happen that I have to enlarge) and set the dimensions to whatever I need for this service: 5x7, 4x6 &etc. Hints on optimal dimensions for getting nice borderless prints of a certain size accepted! I know that not all dimensions are created equal.
- I'll assume that the default resolution is fine, but I ought to do my research for when to modify this when I get into 8x10 or larger formats.
- Sharpening for print and paper type for this publish service.
- My service has no reasonable file size limitations, so I just let the exported files get created at any size.
- I minimize keywords. Makes much smaller files because who needs keywords in prints? I have Metadata Wrangler, so I might insert that and have it leave in the minimal set of MD, like ICC profile and copyright info.
So, given this, I can process my images as usual, make a number of crops (just to be a perfectionist) and then drag them to appropriate service where they end up in a hierarchy of folders ready for uploading.
What am I missing?
BTW, I'm not using the Print module because it was too tweaky trying to get it to make JPEGs that would print borderless. Feel free to set me straight on that if you like.

You only get one opportunity to set up the hard drive under publish and the folder cannot be changed unless you get a plug-in to provide a work around.
However you could just create a generic publish folder - something like Photo Lab, or Print Job.
But you could then right click on your publish folder and select “make target collection” - you will see the plus sign added.
Simply highlight the photos you want to print and press B (the same as adding to a quick collection) and your Publish Services folder on your hard drive will be populated with the exports.
The real problem is that you would need to edit the publish settings every time you required different dimensions etc (not sure possible). I use a similar system, which works well and I like how I can see what has already been published and what is still to be published but my prints are always the same size and resolution.

I need to split a huge PDF. 136 MB. I paid for the service some months ago. I know it is way over the limit, but I cannot find a way to divide it.

I paid for the service, figured splitting it would be easy. But I cannot seem to do it. How do I save the original "in pieces"???

OK, so no Acrobat 8 after all (so sorry about that hard drive failure, that's no fun at all!). But all hope is not lost.
I think this what needs to happen:
Go to www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html and click Try It Now.
Click Download Now.
After the file has downloaded, double-click the installer file that you downloaded to install Acrobat XI.
Open your PDF your newly installed copy of Acrobat XI.
Follow the steps in the video that I linked to in a previous post.
Note that Acrobat and Reader offer different functionally, so the copy of Reader that you have won't do what you're after.
Best,
Sara

Need solution for SNMP Service on Solaris

Hi Friends,
We use the solaris servers. For SNMP we have changed the Default Password of SNMP Service.
We audited our Servers doing the Penetration Testing (PT). In this activity it was reported the SNMP is using the default password. They had the tool "Getif" for SNMP testing. If the default password are set for SNMP service this toll reads the important information. If defaults passwords are not used it cannot read any information about SNMP.
When i change the default password for SNMP, should i restart the the service to take changes in effect?
Pls help

Hi taher;
Thanx buddy. You are really helping us out. I just try to share my knowledge wiht forums user i also already learn many thing from forums,as specialy Hussein Sawwan
I have two more doubts. Like in linux we use which command to see if that executable is in the PATH but in Solaris 10 is whence a replacement for that.I belive You can use which command in solaris too.
Q2). I dont think i need to go for split architecture as both the DB (11i) and application tier are certified for solaris *10* SPARC (64-bit).You should decide it not me :) you can use split config if your business need it or not. Its just depend your analysis
I hope; my answer would be answer of your quesition and give you some idea about your issue :)

You download apps from the App Store on your iPhone or iTunes from your computer. If from the computer, you then sync them to your 3GS via iTunes.

Do we need separate Unattended service account for each SharePoint Server 2013 BI service applications?

SharePoint 2013 - I'm planning to use 'unattended service account' method of Secure Store Service - for Excel, Performance Point and Visio services. I'm about to create Active directory accounts for them.
Question: Do we need separate Active directory accounts for each service
DomainName\ExcelUnattendedAccount
DomainName\PPSUnattendedAccount
DomainName\VisioUnattendedAccount
(or)
Can I have just one Active Directory account DomainName\SharePointUnattendedAccount ?
Are there any drawbacks having a single account? Any best practice around this? For all the three services the data sources are going to be the same.
Subash.S

Security is the only reason you would separate accounts (as these accounts must have access to the source data). There should be no other drawbacks.
