SiteCam server with AP Extreme ethernet

How do I setup a SiteCam live video server with the ethernet ports on the back of AirPort Extreme. I have static IPs for 5 mac computers. I used to run dsl unit to a switch and cable to the sitecam server. I then used a switch port to the airport. I'd like to not have to use a switch and use the ethernet ports on AP

You could configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address). In that mode, the AEBS is essentially a switch.

Static IP-ed server with Airport Extreme 802.11ac

Howdy, y'all, In support of an app for remote users, we wanna expose a Win server using a static IP from our cable provider. The ISP has provided us with the static IPs, DNS IPs and a gateway IP. At the moment, the Win server is on a subnet routed by our new Airport Extreme 802.11ac receiving a reserved IP. If I configure the Win server with the static IP settings from the ISP, there's no Internet connectivity because the gateway IP is a different subnet. When I connect the Win server directly to the cable modem and bypass the Airport Extreme, the Win server has Internet connectivity. I suspect that I'll hafta use a separate switch between the cable modem and the Airport Extreme for the Win server. I think that we'll then have departmental Wi-Fi routed by the Airport Extreme. Any other suggestions? Thanks much.

Do you only have a single IP??
If so you cannot give that IP to the win server.. then you have no other network connection.. or internet from other clients.
But you can simply put the Win server with a static LAN ip set via dhcp reservations and then set the win server as the default host.. all packet incoming to the public IP are then passed to the Win Server.
DHCP reservation on the network tab of the airport utility.
Default host is under Network options.
You will still use the AE as main router and set wan to either dhcp which should work fine or the static IP.

How do i use my own dhcp server with airport extreme

I just bought an airport extreme and I'm trying to replace my linksys router and another access point.
I have my own dhcp/dns server and I want to continue using it. So far, I was not able to find the way to use NAT without DHCP (like I'm doing now with my current setup).
I want to give the device another chance before I return it to the store. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks

I thought that you could figure out the answer for yourself, but if you need more confirmation.....the choices/options that you need do not exist on an AirPort router.
Cisco or Netgear might be brands to look at. Good luck in your quest.

Using HP Jetdirect 300X print server with OS 10.4 Ethernet/Airport?

I am trying to speed up my connection to my older HP 5MP Postscript printer by switching to an HP Jetdirect 300X print server. I was previously printing through a Farralon ethernet-to-Localtalk adapter, but this can be very slow and I found that printing from a PC to this printer over its parallel port was about 20 times faster (it would sometimes take up to 50 minutes to print one document over the ethernet-to-Localtalk adapter). HP claims that this Jetdirect 300X print server will be even faster than printing from a PC and I will still be able to use Postscript from the Macs.
BUT, HP does not give adequate info how to set up this print server with a Mac network, despite recommending it. The info I have found so far seems to require being a PC systems and network administrator to understand it. (very high-techese) Does anyone have experience setting this up with OS 10.4? I do still have one old Mac running OS 9 that I can set up in a pinch if I have to, but I would prefer to be able to get rid of OS 9 completely. I also have one computer with Windows XP Home Edition if I can use that to set up the server and then operate it with Macs.
The newer Macs are iMac G5, Powerbook G4, and G4 DA Tower. I do not currently have a router, except for an Airport Express. My various computers are linked together with an 8-port ethernet hub, with the Airport Express serving as a bridge to the Airport-equipped Macs.

I'm not familiar with the JetDirect, but I can tell you that I have an HP Laserjet 4m at work set up to receive print jobs from both our Macs and PCs.
We have it hooked up to a Windows 2000 PC which is sharing the printer. The same concept would apply to XP. Just install the printer and then share the printer. Keep the share name short (something like HP5 or so - OSX does not seem to like long shared printer names). As long as you have at least OSX 10.3 you can use the Printer Setup Utility to to Add a printer. Select Windows shared printers. Locate the Windows XP printer on the network and have the Mac connect to it. You'll see the shared printer in the list. Select the driver and add the printer.
You'll need to have file sharing established on the XP computer, or at least the printer sharing and you will want to use the account that the computer logs in to. You'll also need a printer driver on the Mac side. HP does not have this. However, there are several drivers available for HP printers under CUPS (Common Unix Printing System). Do a Google search for "Gutenprint" and you'll get the website for the drivers. You'll want to have that installed before adding the printer in OSX.
BTW, it won't work with OS9, unless you have DAVE or some other Win/Mac application that allows communication between PCs and Macs.
It's a small amount of work, but the drivers are free which I imagine is probably a lot cheaper than the JetDirect.

Airport Extreme ethernet not working with Windows XP

Windows XP no longer connects to the Internet via the Airport Extreme ethernet port. XP says the cable isn't plugged in but when I connect XP directly to the DSL modem it works fine. When I connect my MacBook Pro to the Internet through the Airport Extreme ethernet port it works fine. (I'm sure it's connected by ethernet because I do +sudo ifconfig en1 down+.) I can't figure it out. I'm relatively certain Airport Extreme is blocking XP from connecting via ethernet but I'm not certain. It worked without a glitch for about two years. Lightning fried my old DSL modem and ever since I got the new one, XP "can't see" Airport Extreme, but will connect directly to the DSL modem and the net without a hitch. Any insight will be much appreciated.

I'm not sure why your PC is not able to connect to the AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBS) Ethernet port, but it is likely the lightning strike may have something to do with it. I'm also a bit surprised you're were able to run the "sudo ifconfig" command under Windows.
To rule out general communications issues between the modem and the AEBS, I suggest that you try a complete power recycle of all your network components as follows ...
Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

UCS C420M3 server with VIC 1225 , Cant see LOM ethernet ports

Hi Guyz,
we have C420M3 server with VIC 1225 connected on PCIe slot, with Fabric Interconnet.
After installing OS & drivers , vNICs created on VIC 1225 by service profile appear, but 4 gig ports on Server LOM dont appear.
Any Idea.?
Thank

If you integrate your rack server to UCSM, you will be able to use the LOM ports ONLY for Mgmt traffic, that is when you integrate the server in "Dual Wire Mode".
There is no need (unless you have one for an special reason I am not considering in this very moment) to use the LOM ports once you have integrated the server, precisely cause the VIC 1225 is a not a regular NIC card, nor a regular HBA, it is actually a CNA (Converged Network Adapter) which basically lets you do in one card, what you would do with two (meaning "what you would do with a separate NIC and HBA")
When you have a VIC card, you actually have the option to create up to 256 virtual interfaces (that's the capability of the hardware, always limited by the OS used, please keep that in mind), that is the reason why, after the server is integrated, you totally depend on the interfaces set in the Service Profile instead of the physical interfaces.
Find more info here:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/interfaces-modules/unified-computing-system-adapters/models-comparison.html
Do you have a particular reason for using the LOM ports instead of creating 2 additional virtual interfaces in the Server's Service Profile?

How to port forward with AirPort Extreme

I really just cant find an accurate description in the support community. Err, let me rephrase: I'm not tech-savvy enough to really comprehend all aspects of port forwarding within the AirPort utility.
I am trying to set up a server for a game (Starbound) and I have been trying for hours to open 1 port. I believe it connects through TCP on port 20125.
I cant seem to figure out which IP address the utility needs. The router's? Which IP address is the router's if so? How do I see that?
I wish server was freeware so badly, I've watched videos and tried to replicate the results manually but I just absolutely can't get it. Would really appreciate support on this, as I've never encountered this problem configuring port forwarding in a browser-based scenario.
Thanks all. All I really need is a walkthrough to open that ONE port.

For reference the following AirPort User Tip will give you the basics for port forwarding.
I cant seem to figure out which IP address the utility needs.
What is required is the IP address of the host device that you want reached from the Internet. In this case it would be the server hosting the Starbound game.
It is highly recommended that you configure your server with a static Private IP address. You can do this using the DHCP Reservation feature of the AirPort Utility. What this does is assign a dedicated address from the pool of addresses that are provided to local network clients. You will then use this address to populate the IP Address field for the port mapping. Note: Port Forwarding and Port Mapping are used interchangeably. Apple uses Port Mapping.
To assign a DHCP Reservation:
Start the AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Extreme, and then, select Edit.
Select the Network tab.
Click on the "+" button under the DHCP Reservations window.
For "Description," enter Starbound or whatever you want to describe this port mapping.
Reserve Address By: MAC Address
MAC Address: (Note: This will be the hardware MAC address of the server's Ethernet or wireless interface.)
IPv4 Address: [enter the desired IP Address that you want to assign the server. It should be from the available pool of DHCP addresses. By default this pool is: 10.0.1.2 thru 10.0.1.200. For example, you can use 10.0.1.100
Select Save
Using the reference provided earlier, use the AirPort Utility to define the port mapping that you require. (Note: You should still be on the Network tab.) I filled in the values for you. Note, however; that you may need to change the value for the IP Address field to the address that you set earlier in the DHCP Reservation.

I am using the "G Web Server" with Bridgeview 2.1. The problem I am having is that I have to

restart the web server once every 2 to 3 days, or the web pages don't show the vi (images). Any ideas to trouble shoot - I dont know if the problem is related to my workstation hardware or a setting that needs to be tweaked on the G Web Server. Thank you.I am using a Pentium 233 machine/ Win 95. The PLC I am collecting info from is a GE Fanuc Series 9030 (?). Ethernet connection.

restart the web server once every 2 to 3 days, or the web pages don't show the vi (images). Any ideas to trouble shoot - I dont know if the problem is related to my workstation hardware or a setting that needs to be tweaked on the G Web Server. Thank you.Hi,
we are using the G Web Server with LabVIEW on a WinNT 4 machine. Up to now these works fine. Therefore I would recommend you to choose a more stable OS.
Maybe you can try to programmatically restart the server every 2 days. Within LabVIEW you would do this by running "HTTP Server Control.vi". Unfortunatly all connections will be closed, thus be aware of that!
Hope that helps

How to configure Time Capsule etc as a local network server with remote access server and for backups

I'm trying to set up new 3TB Time Capsule as a wireless network server (with remote access) and for backups for use in a small office (of two Macs). We have a late 2011 Intel MBP and a brand new MBA both running 10.8.3. We have two external 1TB hard drives that until now have been attached the MBP for storage and backing up that computer, which up until now was the only machine in use. The MBA is for a new employee and we need to share and work on the same files, both here in the office and ideally remotely too via Back to my Mac. The MBP needs constant access. The MBA only occasional. The TC has 7.6.3 firmware and we've set it up using AirPort Utility 6.2. It is currently attached to the MBP via ethernet and it has internet access via a Sagemcom router attached to TC's WAN port.
We've managed to set up a wireless network and both have wireless internet access through the TC
But there are so many issues I don't know where to begin - so I'll start with a description of what we're trying to achieve:
I planned to use the TC as the main server drive and place all the key folders and files there so that both of us can access them wirelessly and remotely. The MBP would back up to the TC and to one or two of the external hard drives - one being attached to the Mac via USB and the other being attached to the TC's USB port. We would back up the important data on the TC using SuperDuper and copy it to both external USB drives.
So , first of all, is that a sensible configuration? Should the 'server' be the one of the external hard drives attached to the TC USB port, backed up regularly to the TC using SuperDuper?

But when you say 'So using USB drive does make sense if you want to use it as a file store', do you mean a USB drive plugged into the TC? I hope that I can attach an external drive to the TC so we can all access and read/write the content wirelessly via the TC network or remotely.
Yes, USB.. as it prevents the sparsebundle mixing with data files. I guess it does depend on how much data you are talking about.. you can use the TC internal disk if you are careful and setup the sparsebundle with fixed sizes once you create them..
And to be clear, I wasn't planning on backing up remotely via BTMM - only to access the shared folders on the TC data drive or USB external drive attached to it. I'm assuming that's ok?
Yes, that is fine. Sorry I got the impression you were going to do backup over internet.
What is the alternative? Having a Mac Mini that's always on? Do I need OS X Server etc.?
A mini would be great.. you don't need server edition.. but I would see how the TC goes.. since you have it and it is much lower power consumption device. It is just that its design is not really for file storage.
One big problem I have is to do with the sharing permissions. For everything on the TC or attached external drive attached to it, it says I have only custom access and every time I try to change permissions it says I don't have the permission to do that. And if I try to change the owner it says my user name is not valid.
How is the security setup on the TC?
The security is a bit tricky.. I must admit since I run windows computer in the network, that I simply turn on the guest account to read and write access. For a business setup that might not be adequate but it allows me full access to all the files.
If you setup the TC with user accounts then you are in trouble. That makes it very difficult to access, especially if one person already has the file open you may find a second user cannot login. I am not sure as I have avoided the security. IMHO it is meaningless.. since anyone with physical access to the TC can press the reset for one second and has full access.. and can add or change passwords.

Purchase and upgrade my Mac Mini G4 with Airport Extreme

Hello! Can anybody tell me the right part number of the Airport Extreme Card for my Mac Mini (original). And does anybody know any web site where I can purchase it? I already have the bluetooth device, i just need the wireless.
Thank you very much.

Welcome, it may have been an idea to start a new topic but since you haven't, I'll try to answer some of your questions.
I have a company issued Router (not wireless) would I have to replace this with the Extreme or simply plug into one of the ports on the Linksys?
Since the new AEBS has not been released yet I can't give you a 100% answer, but based on its predecessor then I would expect it to be possible to use the Linksys as the router and the AEBS as a wireless access point connected by ethernet cabling.
It also states that to set up you have to install some software?? This concerns me as our company does not allow us to install anything on this PC. Any thoughts...Not a problem with the Mac, but I want it to also work with my PC's...
It depends what features of the AEBS you wish to utilize. If you simply wish to configure the AEBS using the Mac and merely connect to the AEBS as a wireless client through XPs Network connect then I think thiswill be a viable option. However, that said, the best advice is to wait till release when you can evaluate the AEBS 1st hand and see if it meets your requirements or not.

Can I use powerline wireless adapters with airport extreme

can I use power line wireless adapters with airport extreme?

Can this work?
Yes
I read somewhere that powerline adapters are not compatible with Airport.
That information is not correct.
If the AirPort Extreme is already set up as your "main" router, you would connect a short Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme to the power line adapter.
Locate another adapter in the area where you want to use the AirPort Express and connect a short Ethernet cable from the adapter to the Express.
Configure the Express to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, same security settings and and same password as the AirPort Extreme network and select the Bridge Mode setting for the Express so that it work correctly on the network.

Is anyone successfully using Netgear WN3000RP with Airport Extreme?

Got a brand new WN3000RP wifi range extender. I went through the installation several times myself and several times with tech support to no avail. Tech support told me to return it for a new one.
Everything is connected and the install process goes smoothly but I ultimately cannot ever use the extended network to connect to the Internet. I can see the range extender's mac address on the router but the two devices don't seem to talk to each other.
I'm just wondering if I'm going to have the same problem with a new one or not and wondering if it's even compatible with Airport Extreme routers.
I'm using Airport Utility version 6.1.
Can someone out there can let me know if they got this device working with their Airport Extreme?
Also, what are my other options to extend my range?

I know this answer is likely too late to help but it may help users in the future. In the situation where you are using a range extender there are a few things you need to confirm to make sure it is going to function properly and also some best practices to make sure your network is running smoothly.
1. Is the range extender using the router for DHCP? I have found in my experience is that the router should "reserve" a MAC Address and IP for the the Range Extender. Most times it is 192.168.1.2. I would first set up the router to have the range extender have a set IP Address of 192.168.***.2 and add the MAC Address to the list so that the Range Extender has a Static IP Address in the private network.
2. Initially set the range extender to have an SSID(Wireless Network Name) different than the Router's(Airport) SSID. This will allow you to determine if the Extender is functioning normally without it interfering with your existing network.
3. At this point it is important to set the Range Extender DHCP. What this will do is let the range extender request IP Addresses, DNS(Domain Name Servers), and UPNP Requests. This is where I feel that a lot of people are having issues and assume that the router will still resolve DHCP. If the SSID and Wireless Channel are the same your network will work intermittently with internet access until it is configured correctly.
4. For Devices that will stay on your network such as NAS(Network Storage), Smart TVs, Apple TVs I would recommend setting Static Private IP Addresses for each of them. Such as 192.168.1.3(NAS), 192.168.1.4(Apple TV), 192.168.5(Smart TV). Also if you enter the MAC Address for each device when you set this up it would be recommended.
5. If devices are having issues connecting to internet or certain web services are having issues. It may be necessary to set the Extender(Which is now handling DHCP with IP, DNS, and UPNP passed through from the router) as the Gateway for which device may be having issues. For instance if the Apple TV is having issues communicating on the network(Air Play, Sharing, Streaming) set or configure the network settings manually on the Apple TV. The IP Address would be the one your reserved on your router. The Subnet Mask would likely be 255.255.255.0 by default unless you have changed the amount of potential "Hosts" on your network. The Gateway would be the IP Address of the Extender(Which is paired with your router). DNS servers should be handled automatically. In some situations with certain devices you may need to use a DNS Service for Streaming, but this generally isn't needed.
A Visual Representation would be
ISP>Modem if needed>Router(DHCP Enabled and MAC Addresses Reserved)>Localized Devices<Range Extender(DHCP Enabled and Static IP Address 192.168.***.***)<Apple TV(Manually Configured IP Settings and Range Extender set as Gateway)<Other Devices Localized to Range Extender but not in range of Router(AirPort).
In this representation you should be able to have the router and range extender broadcast Identical SSID and Channels(Radio Frequency). This also allows for advanced settings to be put in place such as LAN networks or Subnets.
An issue that may come up is communicating with the range extender or router while setting up the network. A simple workaround that will allow you to configure either if the network doesn't let you connect on a MacBook is to go to System Preferences>Network>Wifi or Ethernet>Advanced>TCP/IP in configure IPv4>Set Using DHCP with Manual Address> Then IP Address that corresponds with your current network 192.168.***.*** but is not the same as the gateway, router, or reserved devices. This will allow you to connect and configure devices even if router or extender is not assigning IP addresses or operating properly.

Set up ix500 scansnap with AP Extreme {6th gen}

I am having problems getting my ix500 scansnap to set up wirelessly with my AP Extreme 6th generation. I keep getting a message that the security access is not established and that I need to change the access on the ap extreme. Not sure how to do that. Can anyone help here?

This an older thread, but it came up when I was searching for my problem:
I was having difficulties getting the iX500 to work with my 2013 Airport Extreme (6th Gen ?) it would have a blue light, be given an IP but you could not ping, or connect to it.
I then discovered, if I connected the scanner and computer to the Airport Guest network, it would work. I went back to the regular (non-guest) network, and turned off my guest network option, and now it works fine on the main network.
Seems to be a problem with the iX500 (awesome scanner and OCR software b.t.w) and an Airport Extreme that has a guest network setup.
I don't have any guests right now, so I'm turning that Airport feature off and letting Fujitsu know - they have been helpful, don't know if this is Apple or Fujitsu, I have not had any other devices have reachability issues with Guest network enabled, although my other non-computer devices are wired to the Airport Extreme (ethernet and USB)

Creating a bridge with airport extreme (base) and airport express

i am having trouble creating a bridge with airport extreme (base) and airport express. i got the airport express to connect to my network. Airtunes sees it fine. i have an iMac (running Tiger) connected to the airport express via ethernet which i was hoping to get internet on (the iMac doesn't not have built in wireless and i had a spare airport express). now the airport express is no longer visible to the airport setup assistant on that iMac. but, like i mentioned, Airtunes is working fine, and the light is green.
i'm new to the wireless stuff. i am sure i just missed a step. how do i get the iMac to connect to the internet via my airport express bridging to my airport extreme wireless network?
your help is appreciated.

You can do this with the equipment you have. Configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to act as a WDS main base station and configure the AirPort Express (AX) to act as a WDS remote base station. That will allow you to use the Ethernet port on the AX.
Unfortunately WDS also causes the available wireless bandwidth to be cut in half.
