Tools for wireless survey

Do any partners use tools they feel are easy to determine cell overlap for wireless deployment? We use the 7921 phones survey tool but are looking for feedback on what else is used in the field.

We have a non-production WCS server that can be used for predictive assessment by uploading the map or you could use AirMagnet Surveyor to perform real-time data collection. Other than that I suppose you could take readings with NetStumbler or another wireless RSSI utility to ensure coverage/overlap.

Pre verify tool for wireless Java apps - HPUX

Hi wireless gurus,
1. Does Oracle ships a pre verify tool for wireless Java apps for HPUX platform with any of it's products.
2. Please let me know any such tool for HPUX, preferably with a free demo version

Hi wireless gurus,
1. Does Oracle ships a pre verify tool for wireless Java apps for HPUX platform with any of it's products.What kind of pre-verify tools are you referring to?
If you are looking something to verify Java code in general, then Jdeveloper has some features built-in for this purpose.
The Oracle9IAS Wireless service designer allows you test, try, and debug wireless apps.
2. Please let me know any such tool for HPUX, preferably with a free demo version

Wireless site survey planner tool for multi floor office building

Hi,
I'm looking a wireless site survey planner tool for multi floor office building to estimate the number of APs and location. Not the site survey after install APs.
AigMagnet is excellent for single floor but cannot provide multi floor scenario via planner feature even it merging capable with site survey after APs installation.
Any tools can provide the planner tool for multi floor office building?
Thanks in advance,

Cj
If you are looking for an AP estimate you can simply do the sq feet divided into the grade of wireless. For example
You have a 100,000 feet building. All 100,000 sq feet will be wireless.
Data 5,000 - 6.000 sq feet per AP or 100,000 / 5,000 = 20 access points
VoIP 2,500 sq feet per AP or 100,000 / 2,500 = 40 access points
I always like to pad it by another 10%.
I hope this helps â¦

What tools for locating rogue APs and adhoc clients ?

Hi all. I was wondering how you locate your rogues. I have WCS with location detection; however, I still have to go out and hunt down the device. It can be difficult when there is a high density of laptops. Right now, I try to attach to unsecured devices and use the Cisco wireless survey utility to home in on the rogue. Please let me know if you use something better. This seems to work better than using netstumbler, but it has the disadvantage of requiring that you attach to it first. If security is enabled, I have to resort to netstumbler. I would appreciate hearing what techniques and tools work for you.
Randy

I have not found and new tools/techniques as of yet. The way I see it the flow goes like this:
1. You detect the rogue over the air waves. WLCs and WCS do a good job of this.
2. With WCS and location detection, you get the aproximate location of the rogue.
3. Then you have to go get the rogue. Sometimes they are easy to find, sometimes they are really hard to even when the location data is good. They could be under or behind a desk, or in an adjacent office.
I have not tried one of the spectrum cards from Cisco. Perhaps that would work better for finding the device once you know roughly where to look.
It seems that most rogues are not APs, but are routers using NAT. That hides the clients wireless mac addresses from the LAN side of your switched network so I don't think it is easy to locate the rogue on the LAN switch based upon what the AP's hear over the air waves - at least that is my experience.

Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 Technical Preview

Hi, I've never developed a plugin for Office before. I've downloaded the technical preview of Windows 10 and have it running via Boot Camp on my MacBook (Looks good! I'll buy it when it comes out). Obviously with this being in beta it's understandable that
there are problems, so this is just a heads up on one particular problem. Maybe there's already a solution or workaround?
I've downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, brought a copy of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2013 and am currently in the process of installing Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013.
The only problem though is that when I try to install it I get the following message:
http://s22.postimg.org/dxh1gtra9/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools.png
Here is the log:
http://pastebin.com/7wWkSfjF
I also tried to download the file directly and run that.
http://s3.postimg.org/tj9vb660j/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools2.png
I right clicked on the file and noticed an options called "Troubleshoot Compatibility". There was a wizard, and I ran through the wizard a number of times through different routes but none of them worked. I was unable to find the option which turned
off compatibility mode. I then searched for answers online which told me to do some things in the regedit program but that didn't seem to solve the problem.
Anyway, I understand that this is a beta version of Windows 10 and that there are going to be problems but thought it would be best to let you know. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy Windows 8.
Many thanks,
Lawrence

Hi Anil,
According to the error message "User cancelled installation" and the log "Process exited with code 1602", it seems that it is you cancelled the installation that cause the install fail. Is that true? If yes, please reinstall
it without cancelling it. You can take the following steps:
Download "Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime" from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42513 .
Run the downloaded vstor_redist.exe with admin.

Build a tool for controlling a copy file operation base on its file size in any folder of Window Explorer

Hi all,
We are developing a tool which will control a copy file operation in any folder of Window Explorer base on file size limit.
If these copied files are not satisfied the file size condition (its size is larger than a predefined value), the copy/move operation must not be executed.
My question is that: "Are there any availability support of Windows API/tool for implementing this feature?"
BR,
Mr_Le

Hi Mr_Le,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
Based on your description, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss:
Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
To help you find the correct development forum for this issue, please tell me the real project type (Winforms or others) and the real development language (C#, VB or others) you want to use.
If you are not very sure that which kind of project fulfils this requirement, maybe the language development forum would be better for this issue:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?category=vslanguages&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
If there's any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Hi nicpulse,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation
and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
>>VS.PHP vs PHP TOOLS for Visual Studio : which is the best ?
Based on your issue, since the PHP Tools and VS.PHP are involved to the Extensions tool,
this extension tool is out of support range of this forum.
In my option, I think that there have no specified answer about which is the best in the
VS.PHP vs PHP TOOLS for Visual Studio.
It is just depend on which is appropriate for your requirement, so I suggest you can see the feature about the VS.PHP and
PHP Tools. And then choose which extension tool is appropriate your requirement.

In order to resolve your issue better, I suggest you post this issue to
PHP Tools
for Visual Studio or
VS.Php for Visual Studio, click “Q AND A”, you will get better support there.

Libgit2 Error - Trying to checkout/clone a git repository with Visual Studio Tools for Git

I'm trying to clone a branch from our git repository using Visual Studio Tools for Git. I'm doing the following:
1. We have a local server that stores all our repositories and they are tracked using GIT+Stash
2. I create a subbranch B1 from master in repository X using stash
3. Stash will give me a URL in the form http://user@stash:7990/src/x/repository.git
4. I go to Visual Studio (where I already installed Visual Studio Tools for Git) and follow the instructions to clone this branch to my local machine using the procedure as described in: Open and Clone a Git team project http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850445.aspx#remote_3rd_party_connect_clone
5. Visual studio shows the following error: An error occurred. Detailed message: An error was raised by libgit2. Category = Zlib (Error).
Failed to inflate packfile
What is libgit2? Is there anything I should change in my settings or paths? The only workaround I have found for this issue is to clone my branch through Source Tree (third party tool) and then open visual studio, then any other functionality will be fine
(e.g. commits, push, sync, pull etc, all this I can do directly from Visual Studio)... but why can't I clone from Visual Studio?
Notes:
- We're not using TFS (i.e. we only use Git and I'm effectively trying to do the step found in this URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850445.aspx#remote_3rd_party_connect_clone)
- We use Atlassian Stash (installed in our servers) to create the repositories and branches
- I'm using Visual Studio 2012
David

Hi David,
I am sorry that I can't reproduce your issue on my machine. I can't set the shared folder path (\\DEVELOPMENT) as local path, but I can set D:\folder which maps to the
\\DEVELOPMENT path as the local path.

Search for wireless devices display

Some how I managed to get up the circular display screen with a rotating line which displayed all available devices. Now its gone, and I cannot get it up. I left click on the taskbar icon and 'search for wireless devices' but only get the small display. anyone help please?

Hi again
I think that it is not the reason why you can not start this application. You can configure the wireless connection on two simply ways. First one is to use windows settings (like in your case) or you can use some client to do this. In this way the windows option must be disabled.
As far as I know the ConfigFree tool is no a client. This tool can help you to get more precise information about your LAN or wireless connection. Like you can see there you can create some profiles and enable or disable all hardware components that your unit use for communication with other external devices.

Tool for viewing all access points simultaneously

We have 12 Cisco Aironet access points that we're working with. Is there a utility that can be used to view/manage those access points at the same time without having to login to each one from a separate browser?

Hi Anthony,
When you hit this number of AP's you probably want to look into the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) This appliance is perfect for managing AP's pushing new configs etc.

Stuck interrupt when scanning for wireless networks (Athero chipset)

I'm working on getting wireless running on my Thinkpad T40 with an Atheros AR5211 a/b adapter. The ath5k module loads automatically, and the dmesg output seems to indicate that it is properly detecting the card:
% dmesg|grep ath
[ 4.767272] ath5k 0000:02:02.0: registered as 'phy0'
[ 5.042780] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x61
[ 5.042787] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map
[ 5.042793] ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00

[ 5.478542] ath5k: phy0: Atheros AR5211 chip found (MAC: 0x42, PHY: 0x30)

[ 5.478553] ath5k: phy0: RF2111 2GHz radio found (0x23)
I brought the interface up using ip:
% ip link show wlan0
4: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether [redacted] brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
The trouble comes when I try to scan for wireless networks. I run "sudo iw dev wlan0 scan". At this point, the system becomes very sluggish, and the load average began to monotonically increase. The scan never completes; I left it for 15-20 minutes and cut it off when the load passed 3.5. The load average did not go down after iw was killed. Checking in top, the CPU was pretty evenly split between a kworker process and ksoftirqd, even with the scan terminated.
I've searched around, and while there are all manner of problems reported with getting various wireless configurations to work, no one seems to get tripped up at the scanning phase like this. Does anyone know of diagnostics I could try (or perhaps other scan tools?) to narrow down what is actually causing the CPU to get hammered?
Last edited by Gavster (2014-01-15 02:57:56)

I got a chance to play around with this a bit more, trying wireless_tools this time:
% sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable
As before, the load average then continues to increase until the system becomes unusable. This would lead me to believe that I have a driver or kernel issue, since that would be the commonality between the two tools.
The other interesting output is this:
% dmesg|tail
[ 280.973316] ath5k: phy0: too many interrupts, giving up for now
[ 280.989985] ath5k: phy0: too many interrupts, giving up for now

[ 281.094544] ath5k: phy0: too many interrupts, giving up for now
[ 281.109122] ath5k: phy0: too many interrupts, giving up for now
Looking at longer tails, this message repeats many many times, interspersed with:
net_ratelimit: 321 callbacks suppressed
With various values for 321. Some interrupt getting stuck would make sense for why the load average blows up, but I really don't know how to fix that ...
I verified on the ath5k site (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri … rted_Chips) that my chip is supported:
% lspci
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5211 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5001X 802.11ab] (rev 01)
Any tips for what might cause a stuck interrupt like that?

[SOLVED] Scan for wireless networks at boot

Lately I've been making extensive use of public wifi hotspots (libraries FTW), as mobile broadband is simply too unreliable to give me a persistent (and cheap) connection.
Is it possible to use some combination of netcfg and wifi-select (or similar tools) to scan for wireless networks at boot?
I've already got entries in rc.conf for my mobile dongle and automatically detecting ethernet connections, but it's pointless adding entries for whichever wireless profiles I might use as searching for these and discovering they don't exist just needlessly slows the boot process, whereas running something similar to wifi-select at boot (with a timeout so an unattended boot won't wait for me to make a selection) would avoid this.
* Obviously I could just wait until the system has booted and then bring up the interface I wanted manually, but generally I only reboot my system after updates, and I only download updates at a wifi hotspot, so I was hoping to automate something here.

How do we use Script (batch file with msbuild/msbuild project) to build Cordova Project created with Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova?

I use Visual Studio to create Cordova projects. I need to build Cordova projects using msbuild and buildbot via script for my project but I can find only information about how VS combine with Cordova CLI to build multi device hybrid application.

Hi Samseth,
Yes, correct, the only thing we can find on the MSDN is:
Deploy and Run Your App
And that's the reason why Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova existing.
I think you may get more detail compile information from here:
