Mesh 1510's in 4.2.176.0? Security release notes say it.....

The security notes from yesterday are saying that customers with 1510s Mesh APs on 4.1M Mesh code, are recommended to upgrade to 4.2.176.0. If you have 1520s, recommended to upgrade to 5.2.
But 4.2.176.0 doesn't support mesh last I heard.
So which is it? Does Mesh work in 4.2.176? Or does it not?
Are they suggesting to upgrade your 4.1.185 to 4.2 but still leave the 4.1M code...?

There is supposed to be a 4.2 MESH code released, that will support the 1510, BUT NOT!! the 1520. Keep watching CCO for the release, as I am not sure of the timeframe. Oh, and see you on the 16th.

Bridge mode not supported for lap1261N

Hello,
I have a WLC2504 and 2 LAP1261N (converted from autonomous to lightweight) with release 7.0.116.0 and I want to create a point-to-point mesh link between the 2 APs. When trying to change the APs mode from local to bridge I receive the message "This AP does not support bridge mode" even if the release notes say that mesh is supported on AP1261N. I tried to change the mode from gui and also from CLI. Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Paolo

in aIOS you can tell it to bridge on the 2.4GHz Radio, it's not ideal but it can be done.
for WLC based:
The Cisco 1130 and 1240 ( all indoor AP ) are equipped with the following two simultaneously operating radios:
•2.4-GHz radio used for client access
•5-GHz radio used for data backhaul
The 5-GHz radio supports the 5.15 GHz, 5.25 GHz, 5.47, and 5.8 GHz bands.

Can a Cisco 1242 AP participate in a 1510 Mesh AP network?

I am getting mixed views from different vendors whether a Cisco 1242 AP can participate in an outdoor 1510 Mesh AP network using some sort of external antenna or something?
I personally feel that it should be doable because both are Cisco devices. Or is a total no-no and I must find some other way to connect a wired indoor building to a Mesh external wireless network?
Thanks!

Does not say "MESH" but it does say...
Designed for rugged environments and installations that require antenna versatility, the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series features antenna connectors for extended range or coverage versatility and more flexible installation options. Manufacturing applications, for example, can place WLANs in hazardous locations and remotely place antennas in the hazardous locations while securing the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series Access Points. The access point without wired connection will use the 5-GHz radio to wirelessly connect to the other access point for backhaul to the network.

4.2.207.0 to 4.2.176.51M

We have WLC 4402 software version 4.2.207.0 and LWAP 1510
Our wireless network is mesh but i don't know why this release support mesh access point because i found below text in Cisco help center:
"Do not upgrade to controller software release 4.2.207.0 if you have mesh access points in your network. If your network uses mesh access points, use only mesh-specific releases."
now we want to migrate our controller to release 4.2.176.51M-MESH.aes, I want to know after that is there any problem such as reset factory, AP not join to the controller, etc...
Thanks

GO for 4.2.207.54 M code this supports 1505 and 1510
(Release 4.2.207.54M supports Cisco 1500 (1505 and 1510) Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point.This release is the only 4.2 mainstream controller release that supports the 1505 and 1510. )

Mesh and no mes controllers

Currrently my network is running several wisim for my indoor wireless no mesh solution. with code 4.2.207.0 .
i need a mesh solution for the outside parking lot that will work with
the 1522
now according to the document the options i have is 4.1.192.35M
or Release 5.2.193.0
now i am runnning wcs 4.2.110.0
i would like to keep the same version in the indor ap and perhaps use version
4.1.192.35M for mesh outdoor, according the the readme document its supported to run both version.
has anyone in this forum have both mesh and no mesh controllers?
are they in the same mobility group?
i want to avoid upgrading WCS, as well as the controllers service indor AP.

Mesh is supported up to 4.2.176.51M.
4.2.176.51 was release in Jul 1st 2009. You need a WCS version released AFTER Jul 1st 2009 and to be at least 4.2 code.
You need to wait for the next maintenance release of 4.2 or 5.2 or 6.0 code. Soon there should be a maintenance release for 6.0 and that will work with 4.2.176.51M.
You should be able to have mesh and non mesh controllers in the same mobility group, and you can keep 4.1.192.35M if you want.
5.2.193.0 is not a MESH code that I am aware of, as there is no mesh code after 4.2 of my knowledge.
If you want to use 4.1.192.35M Mesh and 4.2.207.0, then you need WC 4.2.128.0. The upgrade from 4.2.110.0 should take you about 10 minutes and will not loose any data, you will need to upgrade your WCS for this scenario to wok as 4.1.192.35M was released AFTER 4.2.110.0 but BEFORE 4.2.128.0

HP deskjet 1510 cant scan

I have a problem with my HP 1510 All in one which can print but can not scan . When I try to open the desktop icon "HP Scan” appears this message "HP Deskjet 1510 series does not exist" . Well , the steps I took .
I Unplug and then reattach the power cable
I uninstall and reinstall the software
I update the software
When I run the HP Print and Scan Doctor and the "fixing scanning problems" a message "HP Twain scan Error" appears . I follow the instructions and I restart my computer . When I try again to scan the problem remains. The printer can print but denies to scan and the message continues to be displayed.
I don't know what else I can do.
Thanks

Gradient mesh tool

I appologize ahead of time if this subject has already been mentioned; although, I looked and couldn't find it.
I have a regular vector object and want to convert it to a gradient mesh object, but when I try to do that it keeps saying there's "too many points". I have tried the "smooth tool" and Object\Path\Simplify and by doing that eliminated a bunch of the points, yet still to no avail. does anyone know how many points is too many points?
Thanks!
A

Don't know how many points are allowed, but I'd suggest using your path as a mask, over a simple rectangular mesh object. It will be MUCH easier to edit in the long run anyway.

Is it possible to create a gradient mesh object with 2 spot colors which separates & prints as a 2 color print job?

I have a gradient mesh object which uses 2 spot color values (including some tints of those 2 colours) which I'd like to print as a 2 color print job. Is this possible? If not, any suggestions as to how I should proceed? The print job MUST be 2 color. Ideally I don't want to use raster objects but if I have to would appreciate any advice on the easiest way to transform my 2 color mesh object into a matching duotone raster object.

I'd really say it's that PPD with the new n-space features of CS3 and CS4. If I use your PPD I get the same shoddy results you do with the postscript file. In fact, Acrobat Distiller errors with a log...

If I use your PPD, print your AI file to a postscript file, then simply open the resulting Postscript file with AICS4, I see the same bad results that I showed in the movie. I think the PPD can't handle the new method of breaking out spots in gradients. Just to test this theory... try a different PPD and see if that works, at least to show the seps properly.

Hi, I have 209 apps in my itunes store but in my iphone it shows only 176, some apps are not shows in my phone even with sync, I can see them not highlighted in my istore, in my phone ther is 11 screen with 16 apps in each one so total of 176 app, is it the maximum screens in the phone 11 ??

You can make folders with the apps. I believe I read that each folder can hold 16 apps and you can have 16 folders on each page. That allows you to have 2,816 total apps.

Configure MESH on WLC4402 with LAP1242

I have a Cisco 4402 WLC running version 4.2.112.0 controlling 20+ AIR-LAP1242AG-E-K9 access points running IOS 12.4 (10b). I'm trying to setup an additional AP as MESH. When I try to change the mode from local to bridge, on what will be the rootAP, I get a message stating that bridging is not support on this unit. What do I need to get this working?
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards

Just to add to Amjad's post, you might be better off to just upgrade to the latest v7.0.x code. Since with the later codes, mesh is built in and also more if a stable code. The link below shows you the upgrade path.

Upgrade wlc 2106 for mesh

Hi,
I want to upgrade my WLC for meshing network. The last release is 4.1.192.22M but in the release note it's write 4.1.192.17M in the upgrade path ...
Another point is that the release 4.1.190.5 isn't present int the download section.
What's the path for the upgrade ?

You can follow the upgrade path in the release notes. 4.1.185.0 - 4.1.190.5 - 4.1.191.24M - 4.1.192.22M.
I just checked and 4.1.190.5 is located under the Mesh Code link for the controller, All Releases, 4.1

WLC mesh upgrade

In my understanding starting from WLC release 5.x there is no specific mesh firmware, instead there is a single firmare train and cisco introduced licensing in order to activate mesh features.
Now, if I have a WLC with 4.xM release I want to upgrade to 5.x or 6.x release do I need to get mesh licenses in order to maintain mesh features or there is some kind of automatic conversion?
Tnx,
Max.

Hi Max,
Outdoor mesh access points can be used with the without a wplus license. But you would require the wplus license for "Indoor" Mesh.
Note Other controller platforms (such as the 2100 and 4400 series controllers) also require a license for use with indoor mesh access points. See the Cisco Enterprise Wireless Mesh Licensing and Ordering Guide for details:

Cropping Gradient Mesh

Is there anyway to crop a gradient mesh which, in essence, acts like a masked gradient mesh, but actually trims all the excess?
For example, lets say I use a quick mesh, using a rectangle, to quickly get the blends and colors I want (example: bright colors for a bird's feathers and markings, but not photorealistic), but then I have a simple, graphic bird shape, in which I want the mesh to be visible.
Again, I could use the bird shape to mask the mesh, but then I would have the rectangle in raw art, which could present problems if I were to hand the art off to another artist, production, etc. I also like to have clean raw art when possible.
Ideally, I'd love to use the bird shape to essentially crop the mesh which could result in a perfectly trimmed mesh (retaining all visible colors, mesh, etc) and use the copied bird shape for an outline.
It seems like it would be much easier and quicker than tweaking all the mesh points and trying to realign with the original bird shape.

Mylenium is correct. Just use one copy of your bird shape as (say) a clipping mask on your rectangular gradient mesh, and use another copy for any outline. If your printer or other production supplier can't handle something that basic, find someone else. Quickly.
In fact, having the rectangular gradient can be an advantage in some cases. If you later decide you need to cut right to the edge of your color-filled shape, you can release the clipping mask to easily add any necessary bleed beyond the cut-line (a circumstance we encounter almost every day).
Good luck.

Mesh gradients using pantone colors

Hi,
I'm struggling to create gradients for screen printing purposes. The artwork will be printed on 12oz canvas using 3-4 pantone spot colors.
1) if I fill an object with a single Pantone color, create a mesh gradient from it using a variety of different opacity settings, say 100%, 50% and 25%, then play around with the mesh handles to produce a pleasant, mixed background, will a gradient of this type work for screen printing? I don't know if a gradient of this type will require halftones, as a linear or radial gradient would.
2) it's my understanding that when you prepare artwork for screen printing using spot colors, each color should be on its own layer. In an attempt to add highlights or shadows to an object, if I copy an object and paste it in front of itself, then apply a gradient using another Pantone spot color, say Pantone Process Black(100% to 0% opacity), does it matter what the blending mode is? Obviously you'll get different results based on the option you choose, but again, I'm concerned here only with screen printing. I can then place the gradient on the Black layer.
The problem is that I'm familiar with off-set printing, and apparently gradients have to be converted into halftones when screen printing, so I'm trying to figure out the best way of creating shadows and highlights.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Mark

Mark,
Getting your head around a few age-old fundamental repro principles will clarify this stuff for you:
First and foremost: Think in terms of INKS, not "colors." Take off your designer hat and think like a mechanic. You're dealing with real-world substances: scoops of thick, gooey, solid-color ink that will be squished onto some object.
Line Art: Artwork designed to be reproducable using only areas of solid ink coverage. No graduations of any kind whatsoever. In other words, nothing but 100% "tint" (often called "solid") of the ink(s).
Tint Screens: Uniform coverage of a given ink, but at any percentage other than 100%.
Continuous-Tone Artwork (often called "contone"): Anything involving varying percentages of a given ink, be it a "grayscale" gradauation of a single ink or graduation involving two or more inks.
Halftone: A photomechanical process used to distribute small dots (or lines, or some other pattern) of ink so as to SIMULATE tints and/or gradations. That's the important concept: There are no "graduated inks." Any given location on the final print either has ink or it has no ink on it. The ink is always a solid color. So anything other than the actual color of the solid (100%) ink is a mere SIMULATION. That simulation requires that the ink be laid down as a series of tiny dots (or array of lines, etc.) so as to suggest things other than the 100% color of the actual, physical ink that is loaded into the press (or silkscreen).
Spot-color (opaque) versus process-color (translucent) is a SEPARATE ISSUE from line art (no tone screening) versus contone art (tone screening required). You are confusing those two separate and distinct issues.
Now put this in the context of screen printing:
All artwork involving tints or continuous tone requires halftoning. Compared to offset lithography, screen printing is very limited in its ability to handle halftoning. Many small local screen printing shops can't do halftoning at all. Typical medium-size screen printing shops (local T-shirt shops, etc.) can often do halftoning at a very course frequency (i.e.; large dots), often no smaller than 30~50 Lines Per Inch (LPI), and both color fidelity and sharpness suffer. Only larger and more sophisticated screen printing shops, running expensive, high-end automated equipment utilizing very fine screen mesh fabrics can reliably hold small halftone dots and consistently maintain color.
Bottom line: The way you prepare artwork for screen printing is highly dependent upon the kind of shop that will be doing the printing.
Screen printing is done on a wide variety of materials (substrates). Substrates are quite often not white. They are often dark. So spot color inks designed for screen printing are usually very opaque. That puts them in a whole other world from the almost-always translucent inks of offset lithography, AND from the real world that Illustrator's interface is capable of simulating. Illustrator does not provide any means by which to specify the real-world opacity of a Spot Color Swatch. So when you use blends, grads, and overprinting, Illustrator cannot do a good job of simulating what you will actually see in the final screen printed results.
Bottom Line: If you are building continuous-tone artwork involving blends, grads, tints, etc. (i.e.; anything requiring halftoning) and/or overprinting, you need some real-world experience to reasonably well anticipate how your halftoned artwork is going to look when printed. Best advice is to start simple. Design around your limitations, and those of the screen shop you will be using. Limit your designs to spot colors and entirely line art.
Now to your specific questions:
I'm struggling to create gradients for screen printing purposes.
Grads are going to require halftoning. Have you asked your screen printer what halftone frequency (LPI) he is able to reliably hold?
The artwork will be printed on 12oz canvas using 3-4 pantone spot colors.
Understand: Pantone is a company. The Pantone company publishes its own standardized formulae for its own branded inks, which are offset lithography inks, not silkscreen inks. In other words, it's just a commonly-used color reference. You would be better off refering to actual color swatches of the actual screen printing inks your screen printer will be using. Set up your Spot Color Swatches in Illustrator corresponding to the actual inks.
1) if I fill an object with a single Pantone color, create a mesh gradient from it...
Always state WHAT VERSION of Illustrator you are using. Grad mesh did not always support spot colors. Blends still don't.
...using a variety of different opacity settings, say 100%, 50% and 25%...
Don't confuse "opacity" with "tints." What Illustrator calls "opacity" and "transparency" usually involves rasterization and/or conversion to process color.
... then play around with the mesh handles to produce a pleasant, mixed background, will a gradient of this type work for screen printing?
It will work for screen printing IF:
The particular screen printing setup adequately supports halftoning.
The mesh is built appropriately for the color separation model (spot, process, or process-plus-spot) that will be used to print it. Again, you have to be aware of the number of INKS that you are designing for, and make sure your design does not require more than that when it is color-separated (think "ink-separated").
Current version Illustrator provides a color-separation preview feature, which can save you alot of grief if you use it. If using an earlier version, but have Acrobat Pro, save the file as a PDF, open it in Acrobat, and use its Separation Preview feature. If using an earlier version and do not have Acrobat Pro, "print" as color-separations to a PDF virtual printer like Adobe PDF. Then open the PDF in Reader and study the separate pages. (Screen print jobs are, in fact, often delivered as such a pre-separated PDF.)
I don't know if a gradient of this type will require halftones, as a linear or radial gradient would.
Based on the above, you should now know that. Yes, ANYTHING that involves graduated color requires (at least a simulation of) "graduated ink". Since "graduated ink" does not exist, halftoning (or some other kind of tone screening--there are others) is required in order to simulate it.
2) it's my understanding that when you prepare artwork for screen printing using spot colors, each color should be on its own layer.
No. Absolute nonsense. (Don't believe everything you find written by self-proclaimed "experts" or "tutors" on the web, no matter how fancy you think their demonstrations are.) If that were true, then how, (for just one example) could you possibly screen print a rectangle with a spot-to-spot grad fill? The path containing that grad resides on one Layer, doesn't it?
In an attempt to add highlights or shadows to an object, if I copy an object and paste it in front of itself, then apply a gradient using another Pantone spot color, say Pantone Process Black(100% to 0% opacity), does it matter what the blending mode is?
Yes, it matters. Blending Modes has to do with so-called "transparency" effects. Again, anytime you muck around with "transparency" you increase the liklihood of rasterization and/or conversion to process at output. You would be safer setting that copied, pasted, grad-filled object to overprint. Halftoning will still be required, at least on the separation corresponding to the ink(s) for that grad.
Obviously you'll get different results based on the option you choose... I'm concerned here only with screen printing.
If you are designing for SPOT COLOR screen printing (as opposed to process color), stay away from transparency effects unless/until you understand what you're doing.
I can then place the gradient on the Black layer.
Again, forget Layers corresponding to ink separations. A total misconception. Utterly unnecessary.
The problem is that I'm familiar with off-set printing, and apparently gradients have to be converted into halftones when screen printing, so I'm trying to figure out the best way of creating shadows and highlights.
The best way to create shading is HIGHLY dependent upon the technical capabilities of the specific screen printing shop. Always ask:
Can the shop support halftoning?
If so, what is the maximum halftone ruling (LPI) they can reliably hold on the particular target substrate? (If they don't understand this question, either stick to line art or find another screen shop.)
This does not mean that you cannot do shaded artwork without halftoning. (In fact, much of the most stunning screen-printed work is done entirely as line art.) Designer fully acquainted with the limitations of screen printing commonly employ artwork shading techniques to avoid the need for halftoning altogether. They use hatching or stippling or contour linework to build "shading" into the artwork, and all inks are printed as line art. In this regard, preparing artwork for screen printing is often more "creatively rewarding" because you first, understand the real-world limitations of the reproduction method and, second, devise clever and original artwork methods to work within those limitations.
But it's not something anyone can give you a step-by-step, one-size-fits-all-situations crash course in, in an online forum.

Mesh Profile

L.s.
Why is there a undeletable Mesh template on my controllers?
since upgrade to latest version of WCS and controller-SW (3750+wlc) (wism) i have on 2 of my controllers a mesh tmpl.
when i try to remove wcs tells me that's not possible.
tried to do it directly on the controller, but off-course that's not possible.
when i see clients trying to connect to 802.11b wlans there is a "Mesh_Profile" which i didn't create.
Any lights?
Regards Frans Verschoor

Hi Frans,
the reason that you might be seeing a standard mesh template is for the 1500 series mesh AP's. Cisco have built in a few future feature into the software of which some do nothing. (Page 9 for "new mesh features" of the software release notes) also For example in the latest version version 4.1.171.0 of the controller it now references 802.11n access points. (Cisco statement page 9 - 802.11n radios are not supported for use with controller software release 4.1.171.0. These radios will be supported in a future controller release. In this release, please disregard any 802.11n-related parameters
that appear on the controller GUI pages and any 802.11n-related controller CLI commands.)
Hope that helps
Cheers Mark
