Need Help with Multiple Airport Setup

I have the following hardware:
2- Airport Extreme (Simultaneous Dual-Band II)
1- Airport Extreme 802.11n (Fast Ethernet)
2- Airport Express 802.11n
Microcom EZ-BR2 802.11b/g Bridge Kit (the routers see this as just an ethernet cable connecting the two points)
Extras (old Airport Extreme Dome, Old Airport Express, D-Link DIR625)
I am host at a camp and retreat facility in a national forest. We have a satellite connection in our ball field on one end of the campus. The satellite line goes into a recreation building with the modem and Airport Extreme 802.11n (Fast Ethernet) router. The Microcom EZ-BR2 is plugged in to this on one end and connects to one of the Airport Extreme (Simultaneous Dual-Band II)'s in our main building office 800 feet away. The router in the office is set up as the main router for the wireless network, our Ooma phone & network printer are plugged in here. There is one Airport Express in this building giving internet access to a Power Mac G4 & old iMac. Up to this point everything works fine. My house is across the road from the office and has a pretty strong signal from the office router. I tried hooking up the other Airport Extreme (Simultaneous Dual-Band II) at home. If I set it up to extend the network the wireless works, but the Ethernet ports do not. If I set it up in bridge mode, the ethernet ports work but it doesn't extend the network, so I put the other Airport Express in bridge mode first to get internet in to the Extreme then made a new network for the house, If I keep it all the same network my Apple TV doesn't really work, with a second network our iphones and misc. devices keep getting kicked off the network "IP not valid", so I have to keep powering down to get everything working again. How should I set this up?

My house is across the road from the office and has a pretty strong signal from the office router. I tried hooking up the other Airport Extreme (Simultaneous Dual-Band II) at home. If I set it up to extend the network the wireless works, but the Ethernet ports do not.
To have the Ethernet port active, you would have to configure both the AEBSn in the office and the one you have in your house as an extended network ... with the office AEBSn configured for "Allow this network to be extended" and the house AEBSn configured for "Extend a wireless network."
The key here is that (most likely) you will not be able to extend the 5 GHz radio and possibly not the 2.4 GHz radio due to the range between the AirPorts. The higher frequency network typically has a usable range of 50-75 feet; the 2.4 GHz network, 100-150 feet. By "usable," I mean with sufficient bandwidth to be worth it.
You can test this by measuring the Signal & Noise values and calculating the resultant Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). You will want the house AEBSn within a 25+dB range of the one in the office.
Let me know if you need further assistance on how to take these measurements.

  • Need Help With ACS LDAP setup to Query AD

    I have 2 Win 2003 ADs, one of them is configured and working under Windows Database (using remote agent) configuration. I am trying to setup the second AD with Generic LDAP setup. I want to know what exactly I should use in the fields UserObjectType and Class, and GroupObjectType and Class for Windows 2003 AD. All Cisco documents give example of Netscape LDAP syntax. I was told by our server admin. what to put under Admin DN, CN=myid,OU=mygroup,OU=myorg,DC=mydomain,DC=com
    I have both user & group directory subtree fields filled with DC=mydomain,DC=com.
    I am using the ip address for Primary LDAP server, and port is 389, LDAP version 3 is checked.
    Is any of these DC, OU, etc. case sensitive?
    With all entries that I have tried, when I go to map a group, I am getting error "LDAP server NOT reachable. Please check the configuration". My ACS can ping the domain controller's IP address fine.
    Please help. Thank you in advance,

  • I need help with proper DNS setup for 10.5.8 Server

    I'm administering a 10.5.8 server that I sold and setup about a year ago. I'm experiencing issues with getting iCal server to be happy. All of the clients are running 10.5.8, but I'm running 10.6.1. I've heard from others that connecting iCal in 10.6 to a 10.5 iCal Server should be no problem.
    I'm beginning to think that I have DNS issues. Probably because I'm not and never have been 100% certain how to set it up completely correctly. I used to be able to get Kerberos tickets, but now I can't. With the new "Ticket Viewer" in 10.6, it asks for two bits of information. First is "Identity" where I'm guessing I should put [email protected] and then password. When I do this I get an alert dialog that says "Kerberos Error -- cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm example.com"
    The server is a Mac Pro tower with two Ethernet ports. En2 is connected directly to the Internet and has a static IP with a domain name assigned to it. We'll call it "example.com" for the purposes of the discussion. The En1 is connected to the network switch and has a static LAN IP of 192.168.1.250. All clients inside and outside are able to reach the server via domain name for WWW & AFP, no problem.
    nslookup on the static IP address returns "example.com" and nslookup on "example.com" returns the correct static IP address. Open Directory is running and happy including Kerberos. The LDAP search base is "dc=example,dc=com". The LDAP search base is a concept I haven't quite grasped, so I'm just going to assume it's correct.
    The domain name is hosted outside by a service provider that forwards all "example.com" requests to the server with the exception of mail.
    In DNS, I have three "sections" that look like this:
    Name Type Value
    1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
    192.168.1.250 Reverse Mapping example.com.
    000.000.00.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
    000.000.000.000 Reverse Mapping example.com.
    com. Primary Zone -
    mail.example.com. Alias mail.our-email-isp.com.
    example.com. Machine Multiple values
    www.example.com. Machine Multiple values
    NOTE: the zeros aren't actually zeros, they are the static IP assigned to the server/domain
    When I select the top element "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." down below "Allows zone transfer" is NOT checked. Nameservers shows the zone as "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." and the Nameserver Hostname as "ns.example.com."
    When I select the next line down "192.168.1.250", Resolve 192.168.1.250 to: example.com.
    When I select the "000.000.00.in-addr.arpa." element, it has the same settings -- nameservers "000.000.00.in-addr.arpa." and "ns.example.com."
    When I select the next line down (our static IP), Resolve 000.000.000.000 to: example.com.
    When I select "com." the admin email is populated with a valid email address, Allows zone transfer is NOT checked. In nameservers, Zone is "com." and Nameserver Hostname is "example.com." The mail exchangers are mail2.our-email-isp.com. priority 10 and mail.our-email-isp.com. and priority 20.
    When I select the machine "example.com." it shows both the real-world static IP and the 192.168.1.250, same with "www.example.com.".
    Am I doing something wrong with this setup? Should "com." be the primary zone or should that be "example.com." ???
    I've been thinking about getting rid of the DNS entry for the 192.168.1.250 address altogether, but will the clients in the office suffer performance issues??? I do not think that the client workstations are configured to get DNS from the server anyway. Should the "www.example.com." record be a Machine record or should it be an alias record?
    Any help you have to offer is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
    In the meantime, I'm going to look around and see if I can understand "Allows zone transfer" and LDAP Search base a bit better.

    Okay, I found a lovely article at the following address which I think helps me to clarify what I'm doing wrong. Despite that, I'd still like to have any feedback you have to offer.
    http://www.makemacwork.com/configure-internal-dns-1.htm
    Also, when editing DNS entries, Server Admin likes to set the nameserver to "ns." -- whatever your domain is. Should I be overriding that and if so, replace it with what?

  • Need help with multiple devices and apple id

    Between my husband and myself, we have two Iphones, two Ipads, and one Imac.  I back all of them up on my Imac using ONE iTunes account....we prefer not use Icloud, and I think that helps keep the information on each device relatively separate from each other...no overlaps with contacts and calendars.  We have one APPLE id and password, that we use for Itunes and the App Store.   We just got the Iphone 6 for my husband, and it keeps asking him to enter his Icloud PW.(his recognized user name is his PRIMARY email address)...which presumably he does not have, nor does he need (or maybe he does I need some real guidance on that).  To keep this from making him crazy can I just delete his Icloud account, which again presumably, was created automatically with the new Iphone 6 set up??
    Similarly, I need to use FIND my Phone (etc), and HIS devices are not in MY listed devices....is this because he NEEDS his own APPLE ID, or is there a way to add his devices to my list of devices within the APP....I thought because we share the Itunes account they should all be in MY devices.
    Can someone help me make sense of this?
    THANKS!!

    Hello melissaben6250,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are not seeing your husbands new iPhone 6 in your Find My iPhone app. First, while you may "prefer not use iCloud", you are using it, at least in regards to Find My iPhone for your existing devices.
    Now, for your husband's phone and Find My iPhone. It sounds like during the setup of his phone, he logged in to his Apple ID and even possibly created another iCloud account. In order to see his phone on your existing Find My iPhone, it will have to log in to the iCloud account where the other devices are signed in. Take a look at this article on troubleshooting Find My iPhone, especially the first section on the device not appearing.

  • Need Help with extending Airport Extreme w/802.11n

    I would like to find a way, if there is one, to extend the coverage of my Airport Extreme w/802.11n. My object is to be able to share my home network with a 2nd house on my property which is approx. 90-100' away from main house and Airport Extreme w/802.11n base station. This home base station is connected to my iMac and I would like to extend it to allow my Dell PC w/ Win XP in 2nd house to connect to the internet/share files/share printer.
    Is this possible and what would I need on the PC side to accomplish this wirelessly?
    Thank You in advance for your help.
    Daniel

    Is the 2nd house on a the same electrical box as the main house? If it's the same, then you can try the powerline ethernet solution.

  • Newbie needs help with multiple devices?

    Hi and best wishes to all.
    I could really use some advice on the following.
    I purchased an iPhone and set it up on my PC in the normal way.
    A few months later, my Creative Vision battery died, and Creative's only advice
    was "buy a new one!". No chance Mr. Creative! If you call that customer care, I'm moving to Apple! So I purchased a 64Gb iPod Touch and installed that.
    I must admit to a little difficulty trying to manage both devices in iTunes, but I'm also willing to admit that if I found the time to read the manuals, I'd probably get it right!
    My main query is this:
    I now use a second laptop when I'm away from my office and I want to mirror my main PC with my portable one, so that I can manage the iPhone and iPod on both machines.
    Any advice on all of the above would be greatly appreciated.
    Thaks in advance to all, and very best wishes!

    Reading manuals is so 20th century. Instead watch this helpful video, courtesy of The New York Times: Yo Jude: Many iPods; One Computer.
    The question of mirroring the library on multiple machines is quite a bit more complicated. Take a look at this support article: iTunes 9: Understanding Home Sharing.

  • Need help with multiple users of a catalog

    I run Lightroom in a small office and several of us have to have access to the image catalog, using Windows XP.  To accomplish this, the images were placed on a shared external drive, the catalog was created on a USB flash drive and Lightroom was loaded on multiple computers.  Everything has been fine and this strategy will work for us.  However, when I move the catalog to another computer (logged on as a different user) the catalog appears with all keywords and image adjustments, but my import presets are not available.  The preset files are located in the preset folder that accompanies the catalog, but they won't appear in the drop down box within Lightroom when attempting to import images.  My temporary solution is to recreate the import presets, which I have done for one other user so far, but I don't want to have to do that for each new user.  If one looks for the preset file, it is located in a folder called "user", but I have not figured out how to get Lightroom to recognize and use the preset files after logging on as a different user.  When I move the catalog (USB flash drive) back to my computer (original computer, original user), then everything is fine again and I can see and use al the presets. 
    Anyone use Lightroom accross users or machines?  Any way to get Lightroom to "see" and use import presets by multiple users?
    Thanks for any help!

    Not really sure if this will help or confuse things...
    If each user has a preset folder/directory, could you not create a symlink that points to oen on the USB device? And then keep all the presets there?
    Disclaimer:  i have not tried this, nor looked at it much, just a thought as i was reading your post.  If it doesn't apply, ignore me!
    Cheers!

  • Need help with multiple iTunes files

    i had iTunes songs/files on an old pc for years, backed up on an external hard drive.  i then backed up that external drive with another newer external drive and hooked that newer drive to the mac.  i then imported all songs onto the mac iTunes library.
    now when i look at the song list in iTunes on the mac, there are three versions of every song - the first one will play but the next two versions give me the explanation point next to them and say they can't be found.  HOW DO I ELIMINATE THE SECOND AND THIRD COPIES OF EACH SONG THAT CANNOT BE FOUND - TRYING TO CLEAN THINGS UP.
    thanks

    This technique should help you identify which entries need to be removed.
    Lost & Found Playlists
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. Cmd+A should select all and Option-Delete should delete them.
    Or try Super Remove Dead Tracks.

  • Need help with QoS config/setup for my home network.

    I have a home network that spans two buildings, has and FTP download server, VoIP phones,and several computers among other IP devices.  I run a home based business where my clients get access to the company FTP download server (NOT illegal file sharing).  the problem is that when they are downloading files my VoIP takes a big hit and gets choppy when speaking to my customers.  Below is  the layout of the network.
    Our Internet access is Verizon 4G, there are no other options available at this time or we would switch.  The Verizon 4G MiFi connects to a TP-Link wifi router that then connects to port fa0/5 on the Office 3550PoE switch.  There is a trunk between the Office switch to the House 3550PoE switch.  The House switch then connects to the Shop 3524XL switch also using a trunk.  Please note that EVERYTHING works fine other than the VoIP issue, VoIP makes and receives calls without connections issues.
    Auto QoS has been run on the Office switch ports fa0/1 and fa0/2 as well as on the House switch ports fa0/3 and fa0/5.  There is NO auto QoS on the 3524XL
    What is the best way to give VoIP traffic top priority over FTP and web browsing when going out port fa0/5 on the Office Switch?  Over the internal network we are not having any call quality issues between the IP phones, just calls to our SIP provider.  Yes, I understand that once calls exit the Office switch to the TP-Link wifi router there will not be any QoS.  But, if I can give priority to the packets at the layer 3 Office switch (or wherever you suggest) then at least I will not have to kill a users FTP download while I am on the phone.
    Thank You

    I can make ANY changes necessary, just need to know what to do.
    First, did you notice the output of the command  sh mls qos fa0/5 above?  Is it working correctly?

  • Newbie need help with Web BEx setup!

    Out of curiosity, I decided to install Netweaver so I can have a play with it. I am a complete newbie to Netweaver therefore I apologise if this is out of context...
    Here's my question:
    How do one go about getting Web BEx to work?
    Whenever I activate the link in the portal, I get an error about unknown "SWITCH_AXES" command and 0ANALYSIS type 4 error. I search the forum and the few passing mentions of the problem points to OSS notes that is only accessible through service marketplace (which I don't have an ID). I have check the object types in BI content and seems that 0ANALYSIS is already activated. There must be something I am missing. Tried blindly and randomly installed other BI content (mostly Web templates and objects) but to no avail (and encounted a few short dumps).
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    So far, here're what I did:
    1) Install Netweaver 2004S ABAP and Java on the same machine. Instance 00, 01 and 02 respectively.
    2) Try to run BI-Java template installer, but met with error part way. So some of the steps are done manually.
    3) Set up SLD (both instance are in the landscape), and 'partially' set up SSO. Partially as while JAVA to ABAP seems to work, ABAP to JAVA is not working. Anoying but livable.
    4) Installed TREX (instance 03) and are seen by ABAP and JAVA.
    5) ABAP is seen in the portal and I can create transactional iviews and put them in the Portal (with working SSO).
    6) Did reverse-proxying with Apache, but I don't think it matters as it seems to be a backend module issue.
    7) Business planning/wizard is working (in ABAP and Portal) as is Broadcast. As you can see, Web BEx is the only thing that is not working

    The default link for Web Analyser in EP 7 seems to point to the new template. When opening the analysis template in the new BEx windows tool, the same error is being reported. Using 3.5.x WAD, I can't locate the template.
    More on this issue Although for that case, the meta data is not installed. Is there a way to trace missing component and reinstall the needed BI content in RSA1?
    BTW, these are on JAVA SP9 and ABAP SP11.

  • ICal - Need Help With Multiple Calendars

    Greetings All,
    Is there an easy and fast way to merge multiple iCal calendars into one? I have probably close to 100 calendars all due to iTunes & Mobile Me syncing! Problem is with OS X Lion it doesn't seem to be straightforward! Any help would be hugely appreciated. My aim is to merge all of these into one and then sync this across two Macs, an iPhone and an iPad.
    The only way I have found so far involves exporting each calendar one by one and this is just taking far too long to do.
    Please help!!
    Many Thanks,
    Edmond

    I want to get rid of the two arrays.
    I simply joined these two arrays into one array and I select an array subset for the xy graph but that does not work.
    Now the two data arrays get mixed again in the chart.
    I can't see what is wrong. I have tried many things like indexing the array before the xy graph, directly wiring the array to the graph etc. nothing worked.
    Please help.
