Multiple extreme setup

I am trying to set up a large area (school) using multiple extremes that are connected to the current ethernet network. Should each extreme have a different name or the same name. Is is easier to save the configuration from one and import it to another? I will have a total of about 8 in one building and I would like a seamless transition from one extreme to another if the laptop is moving. Suggestions?

Welcome to the discussions!
You'll be configuring what is known as a "roaming" network.
+Should each extreme have a different name or the same name.+
It will be easier to track things if you assign a different +device name+ or +AirPort Extreme Name+ for each AirPort Extreme, but after that each Extreme will be configured exactly the same way with the exact same wireless network name, security and password. Each must also be configured as a "bridge".
+Is is easier to save the configuration from one and import it to another?+
Might be a bit quicker using the export and import feature. Then all you should really have to do is change the device name or AirPort Extreme name for each new configuration.
+I would like a seamless transition from one extreme to another if the laptop is moving.+
The "roaming" network will accomplish that goal. Post back if you have additional questions or need more information on the setup.

Multiple Monitor Setup for HPE-180t w/ NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 (only one DVI port)

I am wanting to connect mutliple montitors via DVI connection to my HPE-180t. My graphics card is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 which has 3 ports (VGA, HDMI, DVI) and does support mutli monitor display. What is the best way for me to connect multiple monitors to my desktop? I would like for all of them to be connected via DVI.
Thank you so much,
Angela
``````````````````````````````````````````
old computer: HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600, Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 3.20 GHz, 2GB of RAM
new computer: HPE-180t, Windows 7 Pro (64bit), Nvidia GeForce GT 220, Intel Core i7-930 quad-core CPU @ 2.80 GHz, 8GB of RAM

What is the end goal you are attempting to acheive? Are you looking to clone all three monitors or each monitor to be independent of the other (extended display)?
This document covers how to configure the monitors in Windows 7. I didn't see the GT 220 listed in the specifications, so I take it this is one purchased separately for the unit. Most video cards require multiple monitors to be connected to a different port (to truly achieve a multiple monitor setup). Since the card only has one DVI port, then the other ports (HDMI and VGA will need DVI adapters). An example of an HDMI - DVI adapter can be found here.
The tricky part will be using the VGA - DVI adapter as DVI ports are typically DVI-D which makes it a pure digital signal. VGA is analog, so the adapter will need to be special if the monitor is using a DVI-D port. If it is a DVI-A or DVI-I port, then a standard VGA - DVI adapter will work. If it is a DVI-D port, you will need an active VGA - DVI adapter. If it is DVI-A/I, then a passive adapter will work. This is an example of an Active VGA - DVI adapter. For that adapter, a VGA cable will need to be connected to the VGA port with that end connected to the VGA side of the adapter and then being connected to the DVI port of the monitor.
Provided the video card supports 3 monitors, this would allow all monitors to have a DVI connection. Keep in mind that the VGA port will still deliver an analog signal as opposed to the DVI and HDMI ports. The card specifications do not really say how many monitors it supports, but it most likely does support three monitors.

Help: Step by step instructions for Express and Extreme setup?

Hi everyone.
I have been trying for the last 2-3 days to get this going and for reasons unknown, I just can't seem to set up my network like I had it working before.
What I am trying to do is add an AEX (802.11n) to my home network to help extend the signal in house. My router is an AEBS 4th generation which is connected to an Efficient Networks Speedstream 5100 modem.
I know this set up works because I set up and it worked fine. I then rearragend my home office, unplugged some cables, and when I went to reconnect, everything went downhill. I didn't change any settings, I just unplugged and reconnected. I have only my AEBS connected, I get internet and everything works fine. When I try to add AEX, everything freezes up and I lose my connection.
I've done a hard reset on both AEX and AEBS trying to get this to work and still, nothing.
I started with the AEBS first and here are the steps I took:
Manual Setup > Airport Button > Wireless Tab > Create a network > Network Name > Radio Mode > Automatic > Radio Channel > Automatic >
Wireless Security > WPA2 > PassWord
I then add AEX to the mix:
Manual Setup > Airport Button > Wirelss Tab > Extend Network > Find home network > Wireless Security > WPA2 > Password
I have AEBS connected to modem via ethernet cable. I then have ethernet cable running from AEBS to AEX.
This is the configuration I used when I first setup my home network and had no problems whatsoever.
All this was done in 5-10 minutes.
Now, now I can't figure this out.
Any help?

I have AEBS connected to modem via ethernet cable. I then have ethernet cable running from AEBS to AEX.
Understand. Good plan.
I then add AEX to the mix:
Manual Setup > Airport Button > Wirelss Tab > Extend Network > Find home network > Wireless Security > WPA2 > Password
There's the problem......Extend Network.....Should be Create a wireless network. "Extend" is only used if you are trying to connect using wireless only. You are connecting using Ethernet.
Set Channel = Automatic and Radio Mode to your choice
Make sure that the Express is in Bridge Mode as well:
Internet icon > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) > Update
Then...very important to power cycle the entire network by powering everything off in any order you want.
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two, then the AirPort Extreme same way, then Express the same, etc until everything is powered back up

Multiple RAID setups in one Xserve?

Hi hope you can help me, we are a small architecture practice in the market for a new server and we are considering an Xserve and Xserve RAID system. I would quite like to set up the Xserve unit to use two of the drives in RAID 1 to mirror the operating system. My question is it possible and/or wise to have multiple RAID sets in the Xserve RAID unit? For example using four of the bays for 4x500Gb in RAID 1 (1Tb storage) for projects, and then using another 2 bays for 2x250Gb in RAID 1 as well for say Mail, maybe even another 2 bays for holding user home accounts. I understand that with share points this isn't strictly necessary but it seems to make sense to keep functions separate across hard drives for quick replacements. Or is this a lot to ask of a single RAID controller?
Also how easy is to add storage to an existing RAID set-up without destroying the data?; say we wanted to increase the 1Tb project storage to 2Tb easily.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Andrew,
I think you are over complicating you setup.
If you do multiple RAID sets the you are really anti-optimiziung. If you asked "How can I get the least performance and lowest capacity out of a RAID?" then I would suggest three mirrored disks w/ spare per controller.
You would have far better performance and capacity if you were to put two drives in the Xserve to mirror, then set up your RAID as RAID 5 across 6 disks with 1 spare (default config).
With Disk Utility you can build multiple file systems on the RAID, so you could slice it up, but again that could be wasting space.
When you get the RAID setup as one file system do not share the root. Set up sub dirs to share:
/Volumes/Raid1 --your RAID root, aka mount point.
/Volumes/Raid1/Mail -- mail
/Volumes/Raid1/Users -- Home dirs
/Volumes/Raid1/Projects -- your production storage
/Volumes/Raid1/Backup -- Save disk images of your server and workstations here.
And yes, changing the size of a file system means wiping it out and restoring from backup.
Also consider the 750GB drives, it's a lot more storage for not that much more money.

Airport extreme setup. Airport express reset to factory settings. Light stays blinking amber. Utility won't recognize

AIrport extreme is setup. Airport express reset to factory settings. Light continues to blink amber. Utility will not recognize express to setup

Thanks. We understand that you want to use the Express to set up a separate wireless network with another modem, is that correct?
Unfortunately, we did not receive an answer to the questions that we asked above and have repeated again below regarding the AirPort Express and AirPort Utility. We asked these questions because not all versions of the AirPort Express are compatible with all versions of AirPort Utility.
What model of AirPort Express do you have? If you are not sure, please locate the model number on the side or bottom of the AirPort Express. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers. It might be something like A1264 or A1392.
What version of AirPort Utility are you using? If you are not sure, please open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, and then click on About AirPort Utility.

Extreme setup problems

I hope that someone can give me some advice in doing something that I thought would be easy to do (I dare not tell my non-Apple friends that I am having this problem, as I told them it would of course be easy to do because it's Apple!).
In an attempt to overcome some problems with signal strength and interruption, I have just bought a new dual-band Extreme to replace an old-type Extreme. I connected the new Extreme in place of the old one and connected it to the internet as before (Ethernet to router), and powered the router off and on, with no equipment changed except for the Extreme.
I then turned Airport on, which showed a new network, which I selected, then I opened Airport Utility (5.4.1), which showed the new base station. I selected the option not to switch wireless networks, and it then showed a window with a suggested Airport Extreme Name, and I filled in the Aiport Extreme password, as before.
It then gave me 3 options: Create new Network; Replace existing base station; or Join current network. I chose the middle option (replace base station), and it then asked me to select the device or network to replace, so I chose to replace the previous base station configuration (as opposed to the previously used network). It then showed me the Internet Setup details, which were correct, and I added the previous password.
Then it showed the Summary page, which was as before, including the network name as before, except that the Airport Extreme name was the new one. I clicked on Update, the Extreme restarted, and its light went solid green. But, when I turned Airport on, there was no sign of anything, and iStumbler also saw nothing.
I then removed power from Extreme and modem for 15 minutes, but nothing changed on reconnecting. I have tried this whole process three times yesterday, and although I can't swear that I did everything exactly the same, the end result was always the same (but this time, I wrote everything down and took screen shots before starting and at every step). When I removed the new Extreme, and replaced it with the old one, everything immediately worked perfectly again, and when I reset the new Extreme, iStumbler can see the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks with their default names.
To me, I seem to be following logical steps, and I would prefer not to have to scrap all settings that have been in use for 4 years and start again, in case nothing works even with the old Extreme. What stupid thing(s) have I done wrong, please?

Welcome to the discussions forum colinatascoli.
To me, I seem to be following logical steps, and I would prefer not to have to scrap all settings that have been in use for 4 years and start again,
You haven't done anything wrong and you did follow logical steps, but the "replace an existing base station" function has never worked for me either.
When things like this don't work right away, sometimes you're better off scrapping all your settings rather than spend time trying to figure out what's wrong. The good news is that your previous Extreme still works so you can copy all its settings, even if you have to enter them all again manually.
I'm a bit confused about your configuration. Is your router different from your Extreme? Assuming that's the case, you were right to power your router off and on, but some ISPs require more than that. Is it possible your ISP is using access provisioning? See this KB article: AirPort Base Station: ISP provisioning may prevent Internet connection via broadband (cable or DSL)
Also, if you're using an external router, such as if your gateway equipment is a combination modem / router, your Airport's connection sharing should be set to "off" (bridge mode).
Try powering your external modem / router off for a longer period of time. The reason for the power down is to give it enough time for its memory to reset - some require only a moment, but I've heard of some that require several hours. Some have a tiny reset button. Still others have an internal battery that has to be removed.
Hope this helps!

Verizon DSL and Airport Extreme Setup Problem

I have Verizon DSL (not FIOS). I am using a Westell modem, model number B90-210015-04.
I try to go through the setup but the Airport Extreme Utility says it cannot find a valid IP address (the light keeps flashing).
I have it setup in bridge mode since I think my modem is also a router. However, there are a lot of other inputs in the setup and I don't know if I need to put in anything for those (e.g. DNS Servers, Domain Name, etc.). I called Verizon and they said there shouldn't be any special inputs. They implied it should just work out of the box.
The modem is working with my existing Netgear router (model number WGR614 v4).
Any help?

Had the same problem. Had the same setup as yours.
If you use WPA/WPA2 and if your password is too short (less than or equal to 8 characters), the AirPort Extreme Utility will misleadingly tell you it cannot find a valid IP address. As it turns out, WPA/WPA2 requires a longer password (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wpa2). I don't understand why a weak password would result in a confusing error message like this, but after I used a stronger and longer password, the dreadful amber light finally turned green!
PS: I didn't enter any DNS/DHCP info nor my DSL account/password info throughout the entire setup process. I figured that if I didn't need these pieces of information with the old router before then I shouldn't need them with this new hardware.

Cant' find Airport Extreme Setup Assistant in Applications/Utilities

My new Airport Extreme Base station - M8799LL/A requires setup using Setup Assistant, which I can't find on my laptop. Is there a place to download it?

No, I see the airport utility.... what I can't find is the setup assistant ...... Perhaps this is because this ancient device is equipment I had to buy used?

Mountain Lion seems to have broken my multiple-monitor setup.

I have a 6-monitor setup, which has been working fine for the last 5 OSX updates... but now, three primary problerms:
- one of the screens is half-dead. I can mouse to it and the curor appears and moves around, but the screen is otherwise black and nothing will appear on it. I can't even set a background on it.
- my primary desktop space which is 2560x1600 keeps reverting to 1024x768 when I reboot which of course re-messes up the desktop layout.
- in fact, all of the configuration changes with respect to displays get lost with reboot... resolution and screen locations with respect to each other... Agh.
I'm sincerely hoping many others are experiencing the same thing, so I'll know Apple is working on correcting the issue.
.. anyone else?

Well, I'll reply to my own message in case anyone winds up here and wonders what to do. Here's what I did... I reverted back to Lion, restored perfectly from Time Machine to where my machine was a few days ago and I'm back in business.
This is the first time ever I've had to revert a Mac OS upgrade, but the simple fact seems to be this is a bug and perhaps an update or two from now I'll try again... once someone else has confirmed multiple video cards are properly supported.
Needless to say, my machine is completely factory parts... the cards came purchased with the computer and I haven't modified anything. None of this wrong driver, IRQ conflict, DMA channel issues and whatever else I thought I left behind when I switched from PC to Mac.
First time for everything, but perhaps Apple missed a QA cycle or two before pulling the trigger on this one.

Multiple airporter setups

I have an airporter extreme that's working fine. I want to set up a newly purchased one for my daughter (in another city) who has a PC (win7) and iPad. Can I do the setup on my iMac with the new utility disc then take airporter to her? She's going to hard wire the PC and wifi the iPad. Will installing the new utility disc on my iMac interfere with my existing installed utility? Are there other issues? I'm somewhat new to this. Thank you.

I was told I can't use the utility disc in her PC.
Told by whom?
There are both Mac and Windows versions of AirPort Utility on the disk that is supplied with a new AirPort Extreme. If for some reason the disk is damaged or won't work on the PC (It has always worked on 3 or 4 PCs that I've had in the past), you can download AirPort Utility for Windows from the Download site on the main forum page. The link is here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport
You can setup the AirPort Extreme in advance using your Mac to "Create a wireless network", but you will receive the following error messages:
1) No ethernet cable plugged into the WAN port
2) No internet connection
You can click to ignore these messages so the flashing amber light will turn to green. The cable modem will need a full reset before it is plugged into the WAN port on the AirPort Extreme.

Lightroom user - Multiple SSD setup & SATA III availability - suggestions?

Ok, this is a convoluted question (in my mind), but I'm going to ask it anyway. Also, I realize that none of this is probably going to make a ton of difference, but every little bit helps.
This is my current setup:
-120gb Corsair Force GT - Windows 7, Lightroom 5 and CS6 (among a few other programs)
-240gb Corsair Force GS - Lightroom catalog and working files
-7200rpm Seagate HDD - Final copy jpg storage
-Other specs: i7 2600k, 24gb RAM, GTX 560
The SSD with Windows & Adobe software usually runs pretty close to 20gb free, so I'd like to get a larger & faster SSD to clone to. I'm thinking of getting a Samsung 840 Pro 256gb.
So, assuming I keep the exported files on the HDD, I'd have the 3 SSDs (all fast, but the Samsung would be the fastest) at my disposal. Here are my questions regarding the SSDs:
1) Would it be advantageous to split up the Lightroom catalog and the working files onto two separate SSDs? Or would you suggest keeping them together?
2) Should I use the Samsung 840 Pro for the OS & programs? Or would a different use help to maximize overall performance?
A second part to this scenario - my motherboard only has 2 internal SATA III connections (the rest are SATA II obviously). If I don't pursue a new mobo, which I'm not going to at this time, which of the two SSDs (and associated purposes) would you put on the SATA III connections?
Thanks!

Are you experiencing performance issues with your current LR System and in what areas (Develop module, Export, etc.)?
Your current 3.4GHz i7 2600k quad core processor should be provide good LR performance. There is also no guarantee that moving to a higher-performance 4 , 6, or 8 core processor will improve things inside LR. We've actually had cases in the LR forum where performance is worse with certain high-performance processors (6 and 8 core).
Multiple SSDs don't add much LR performance improvement on a properly functioning system. Running all your SSDs on SATA III versus SATA II ports is unlikely to produce any "measurable" LR performance improvement since you're already at the point of diminishing returns.

Airport Extreme setup problems on existing WDS network - Please help!

I just bought a Time Capsule and have setup a WDS network for the house. The Airport Express joins the network just fine as a remote WDS device. I cannot get the Airport Extreme (v5.7) to join the same network. It just continues to make a *separate network with the same name* despite the Channel being the same, the WDS being set to remote, and the main ID of the Time Capsule has been put in correctly. In other words, since I setup the airport Express correctly, I cannot figure out for the life of me why the Airport Extreme is not joining correctly.
PLEASE HELP. I've been trying this for 6 hours now and countless total restarts by hard resets of all the equipment.

Hello arthung. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your WDS setup ...
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS.)
o Perform a "hard" reset on the Time Capsule (TC) and a "hard" reset on the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
Main Base Station Setup - TC
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the TC.
o Open AirPort Utility.
o Select the TC, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the AX.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup - AEBS
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the AX.
o Open AirPort Utility.
o Select the AX, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

HP ENVY 700-000t multiple monitor setup

I have an hp envy 700-000t, and I want to setup up a second monitor. When the monitor is plgged in, my computer doesnt detect it, and it reads no signal. Is there a compatibility issue with my computer?

Test your monitor on another PC to make sure that these components work successfully. Toggling the F4 key will electrically contact the second display. Press f4 to alternate the computer screen image between 4 display states:● PC screen only: View the screen image on the computer only.● Duplicate: View the screen image simultaneously on both the computer and externaldevice.● Extend: View the screen image extended across both the computer and external device.● Second screen only: View the screen image on the external device only.Each time you press f4, the display state changes. After each toggle, you will need to go to Window 8 setup multiple monitors and see if your second monitor is discovered.
