Question about Cisco Tec support Rep Live chat issue .

Hello guys, I recently just tried to do a session of live tech support on cisco web site about a issue trying to get my router to change the speed of the wireless connection from 54mbps to the potiental maxium of 300mbps. Well This is my second time using the live chat feature and the 2nd time, the guy was asking for my router name and passowrd. I didnt feel to comformtable doing that since my first time using the live chat , the tech guy didnt ask for my operating system, or my passowrds or anything of that nature? Is that normal for a live chat guy to do that? I figured hes was trying to do a remoate access to my computer and I was thinking, they probably dont do that for free especially over a live chat. Anyeone thoughts or am i being over crictical. thanks

if you are not comfortable then dont give them the info.
i have not had a reason to ask then to do this, however back in the day i had a sony live rep (we were on the phone too) remote into my router to allow me to setup my sony base station (think slingbox but its made by sony) so i could get it to work when away form the home. this was a few years ago so it happens today. some businesses/stores even offer it as a solution. so dont freak out that they asked you that. dell does this for example...
give them a call and have them on the phone with you instead.just have them give you the directions on what to do.... if not, come here and ask the questions...

  • Question about Creative Cloud Support

    I believe I still have about 20 days left of the original support that came with my subscription to Creative Cloud. How do I use that support? I don't think I've talked to support other than in the product help questions yet. I also need to find out what type of support I should buy after that runs out. I'm a designer who has started building websites with Muse. I am also trying to understand Business Catalyst hosting. "Thank you", in advance!

    certifies the Domain, or is that for GoDaddy to do?
    Not clear on what you mean by certify the domain? If you mean purchase and register a domain, then yes, you can do it with GoDaddy
        - can direct me to the web Business Registration site. Is there a cost for web B.Registration?
    Again, not sure what web business registration you are referring to?
    - can generate or provide a SSL certified domain certificate for use on my client's web-site?
    Yes, all BC sites use a shared certificate under the worldsecuresystems.com domain.
    - provides SEO, and what exactly does that include?
    Business Catalyst has all of the SEO features such as Meta tags, SEO friendly URLS, etc.
        - has custom targeted lists available for different industries & businesses in your e-mail marketing program?
    Absolutely. BC has a great email marketing setup. It does what you mention and more ....
    - has a way to e-mail the support department directly? Or communicate in a way other than chat? I am new to web-stuff. I've been a Marketing/Advertising/Print designer/production guy for 30 years.
          (I remember squeeky marker & chalk layouts, and keylining!)
    There is an additional support forum for paid partners as well as faster track to Live Chat and second level support.
    - can tell me how to become a partner. I don't want to pay a thousand dollars. But I have at present, 4 sites I will be doing. I would guess I'd be an "individual" or "developer".
    You can become a Free partner. It doesn't have all the extra support features and many of the perks though. Any paid partner such as myself can send you a promo code for a small 5% discount on a paid partnership as well.
    If you have already created a BC site, you are already a Free Partner. Go to anyone of your BC sites you created and add /partnerportal to the address. Example; mysite.businesscatalyst.com/partnerportal
    Login with your ID that you used when creating the sites. You can access all of your sites from that one location.
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I talk to a rep live chat?

    Log in....Go to http://www.att.com/contactus/, choose the service and then you will see Live Chat on the right!

    A blue button (Chat  Now) pops up for me when I go to that page. What browser are you using? You may be using a browser that doesn't support the plugin required to do the chat.

  • Basic questions about CISCO IOS

    Hi everybody, Jack here,
    I have some basic questions about the Cisco IOS, could someone help me addressing some of them please? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Basically, I have two IP addresses assigned by our Cable ISP. From what I understood you can configure a Cisco router for multiple IP addresses using the IOS, thereby allowing someone like myself to take advantage of having multiple IP addresses. This may seem unnecessary to some, but I've always wanted to put the 2nd IP address to use, since after all, I've been paying for it.
    I was just wondering if someone could confirm that what I'm hoping to accomplish is indeed within the capability of the Cisco IOS (i.e. Fully utilize my 2 IP addresses). As well, if someone could kindly suggest a decent CISCO router for online gaming home use that would be super awesome!
    Thank you all so much for reading through the wall of text:)
    Jack

    Jack
    Certainly using multiple IP addresses is in the capability of Cisco IOS routers. How they can be used depends on the relationship of the IP addresses. I am assuming that we are talking about IP addresses assigned for the user to use and that the IP address for the ISP connection is not one of these that we are talking about.
    If both of the IP addresses that you have been assigned are within the same subnet then you would assign one of the addresses to the router interface to establish IP communication between the router and the ISP and to enable Internet connectivity for the devices inside your network that will use the router as their gateway to the Internet. The other address that is assigned can be used for address translation and in particular for static address translation which would make one of your devices inside to be reachable for connections initiated from the Internet (if that is something that you might want to do).
    If the addresses that are assigned to you are in different subnets then you could assign one address to the outside router interface and assign the other address to the router inside interface. Or you could use the second address for address translation.
    I do not have much expertise with online gaming, but I would think that either the Cisco 881 router or the 890 router might be appropriate for you. If 100 Mb connection is sufficient then probably the 881 would be the one to look at. If you need Gig connection then look at the 890.

    I've tried FireFox and Internet Explorer
    After getting to the step where I choose Community or Live Chat, it takes about 40 seconds for the Text Chat link to become active showing progress animation
    I click that link and it says my Chat has opened in a new window, which it does and that window contains an Error message that the SSL_en connection is too long. with button to Try Again
    It simply will not load up in the small popup window. Only this error

    Hi Karl,
    You are correct as the data for this after 90 days will remove.  So although unfortunate please be aware as we do note this in the archive/rollback section.

  • Some question about Cisco Prime Infrastructure

    Dear all
    I have some question about using Cisco prime Infrastructure:
    - Can I show how many user access to one Access Point (AP) ?
    - If I can. What is display information of user ? etc Ip address, MAC, username access, name of device (notebook, tablet, phone ..)
    - How many time do Cisco Prime Infrastructure refesh user  informantion .?
    Please help me and send picture about it if you can.
    Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    I don't have the Prime Infrastructure to post you image, but you can simply find all the answers you want on the config guide:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/prime_infrastructure/1.2/configuration/guide/clientmgmt.html#wp1232242
    1- You can surely find how many clients associated to a specific AP.
    - Informaiton of the client usually includes username, SSID, ip address, mac address, RSSI, device vendor...etc. I don't think it contains the device type (ipad or iphone both appear as apple vendor. it does not destinguish between this and that.
    3- The time of the refreshment is configurable. You need to configure the corresponding background task for the poll period. (this is also metnioned in the link above).

  • Live Chat Issue

    Since your website no longer offers an email customer service option I have been trying to get connected with a customer service rep on your live chat. Unfortunately your reps are always busy and I cannot seem to get a hold of anyone to resolve my issue. I would love to pay my bill but will not be doing so until this issue is resolved. Please contact me via email since I am not going to sit on my computer for hours on end hoping a customer service rep MIGHT become available at some point. Verizon's move into social media has hurt their customer service reputation.

    Is there a reason why you can't call customer service at 1-800-922-0204 from another phone or *611 from your phone?

  • Quick Question about Cisco 3560 and the Web Device Manager

    Alright, I have a quick question that I am curious about but I haven't found any information
    about it.
    When I log into my Cisco 3560 using the web portal to get to the Device Manager. Below the
    diagram of the switch, then under the Dashboard there is section called Switch
    Health, Port Utilization.
    Under the Switch Health there is Bandwidth Used, Packet Error. Those two options just sit
    at zero and do not move. The Port tilization graph is also sitting at zero.
    Is there a way to make them functional?

    Anyone notice performance increase or decrease of their HD when using the nVidia IDE SW drivers?  particularly with a 74GB Raptor?  I've also heard of burner issues when installing the IDE SW but have not used my burner yet.

  • Question about cisco unified callconnector for mscrm

    Hi
    I've successfully installed software on both workstation and MSCRM server, and it works well.
    However, when I use "click to call" in MSCRM,  a blank window keep poping up with message "The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close the window?"
    My question is how to let IE close the window without the confirmation window.
    I found some people use following Javascript to close the IE window.
                  <script language=javascript>
                      function CloseWindow()
                        window.open('','_self','');
                        window.close();
                  </script>
    However, if anyone can let me know where is the place to add this code into, I would appreciate
    Thanks
    Eric

    Hi!
    No, it does not work with CUCM, it works with express only. Please refer to the data sheet below:
    "Cisco Unified CallConnector for Microsoft Windows, especially designed for the small and medium-sized business (SMB) or branch-office user, is supported by Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express 4.0 and later."

  • Question about Cisco SAFE Architecture....

    All,
    I have searched high and low on the following question for a master's class and hope someone can answer or point me in the right direction. I have studied Cisco of the last many weeks and our professor asked us whether or not the SAFE architecture has any limitations... After much reading and research, I honestly came up with nothing. I am starting to think, limitations isn't the issue but issues might surface if Cisco's best practices aren't implemented. Any help for a student is greatly appreciated and thanks.
    Bob Jones

    Hi Bro
    Cisco SAFE is merely a guideline in deploying Cisco’s best practices for Cisco products and those of its partners ONLY. In fact, if you were to read on the Cisco SAFE Architecture Lifecycle, the planning phase should include a gap analysis to unveil the strengths and weaknesses of the current architecture. If the planning stage isn’t done correctly, then you should know the end results :-)
    Limitations are not on Cisco SAFE approach, but limitations are always there on either Cisco products or the software version, based on certain given scenarios. For this reason, when you were to read any of Cisco's configuration examples on certain technologies, there will always be a chapter on Guidelines and Limitations.
    P/S: If you think this comment is useful, please do rate them nicely :-)

  • Quick question about Cisco 9951

    Hi Guys,
    I'm not a VOIP guy so apologies if this is a simple question. I have a couple of Cisco 9951 phones and wanted to know if there is a way to manually setup the Call Manager ( Active Server) IP address?
    I've looked through the menu on the phone but I can't seem to see it as an option.
    Does it have to be configured for DHCP with option 150, or a tftp server directly to get the configuration details?
    cheers.

    Nope, no battery. If the behavior is consistent every reboot, you might have a defective NVRAM, this is assuming you are saving the config, this is a 2948G-L3, so it must be saved, if it's a 2948G, then it's a switch and running CatOS and therefore any configuration changes gets saved in the NVRAM as soon as you press the enter key after a "set" commmand.

  • Question about personal domain support

    iWeb '08 said it has support for "personal domains". Wondering what this means.
    Specifically, I'd like to build my web site and click "publish" and have it go to my personal web site -- probably by configuring some ftp settings or something. Does iWeb '08 have this sort of support?
    Currently I have to export the site to a directory and then manually upload to the remote site. Would be great if there was a one-click solution for publish/synchronizing the site.
    Thanks!

    I also have 3 sites I've purchased through godaddy all for a grand total of $25....only had great luck with the whole process!
    When I forward my site to the .mac it does mask the name for all the pages...I was wondering if the metatag section next to the masking made a difference to the names of all the pages, but I didn't know what to type in there...hence all of my pages just say dekeyserelementary too.
    I'd love to know if you figure out how to change that!
    It does look like my counters don't work when the pages were being masked. Know anything about that?
    My other site, I didn't choose masking so once you type in my name.com it turns in to the .mac site address, but that doesn't seem to be a big deal.

  • A question about Cisco Security Manger 3.1.

    Hello at all.
    I want to manage a couple of FWSM installed on a 6500 chassis.
    What version of CSM must I use: standard or professional?
    Thanks.
    Andrea.

    You need professional, since standard doesn't support the FWSM's.

  • Question about Cisco 7940 ip phones

    I always have the same problem with Cisco 7940 ip phones.
    I only have direct access to one speed dial with the button near of the screen and I think that it isn't good because to get access to the rest speed dials I must to use short dials and I must to have it written in a paper to remember the number where I have each speed dial.
    Is there any way to solve this problem?.
    I use CCM 4.1.
    Thanks, Carlos.

    7914 should supports with 7940, 7960 and 7970. But in CCM4.1, I couldnt add phone button under 7940. I guess 7940 no longer suppot 7914.
    After CCM 4.0, you have to create phone button template. For example, if you have one 7914 which has 14 buttons, then you have to create phone button template with additional buttons.
    Under phone device, you can pick the new phone button template, and then select "Expansion Module Information" 7914 module.
    Thanks

  • Question about Cisco ISE

    Good morning. We want to separate the access privilege of staff and students by using the same SSID. Currently, we are using free radius linked with the Active Directory. If we want to purchase Cisco ISE, could you please tell us what kind of license shall we buy (Base, advanced 5-year, or wireless 5-year)?  We have more than 50,000 staff and students, and the maximum simultaneous user is around 9,000 now. We noticed that the wireless license is quite expensive and has to be renewed every 5 years (For 10,000 licenses, it costs almost $200,000)! In our short term plan, we do not need BYOD, is the base license enough for our situation?If it's possible, could you please briefly introduce how does ISE work for our requirement?
