Transmitting a Byte Wirelessly

Hello,
I am working on a senior project and I am using Labview 2010/2011 to control a wireless device that is controled via teh internet. WE are doing very well on it. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to transmit the data (which is only 1 byte max) to my device. I have my program working serially, but I am unsure as how to convert to the WiFi aspect of it. If it helps or is considered we are using a Lantronix Export. CAn anyone help me out, give me suggestions, tips, or explain to me how to build the "WiFi" portion of the program? 
Thank You,
Andrew

In your LabView application:
* Create an IP address which matches the device you are trying to connect to.
* Figure out which port you device communicates on at that IP address
* Use LabView function block to open TCP/IP connection
* Read/Write over the open connection using additional LabView TCP/IP function blocks.
However:
* There is probably no server in your wireless network, unless your device IS one.  This means there is no mechanism for handing out IP's automatically.
* If above, then you will have to configure your lap top wireless to have a static IP which is compatible with your device.  For example if your device is IP 10.2.2.101 with subnet 255.255.255.0, then set up your laptop to be 10.2.2.201 with subnet 255.255.255.0.
* Using your lap top establish a manual wireless connection to your device.  Right click wireless icon on your Windows status bar.  View Wireless networks.  Select your device, click connect.  When connected, then you will be able to run your LabView application.
All the best,
Terry

  • Transmitting a byte command via UDP

    I hope you'll forgive the newbie question, but my education is in aerospace engineering and not computer science...
    I have a verified specification document which tells me that in order to command a data source to begin transmitting data, I need to send it the following command via UDP:
    1 byte        1 byte               2 bytes                              n bytes
    COMMAND
    01
    00
    Command Code =
    8016
    Data  
    Where the data field is ignored for this command.
    My best understanding of this situation would be to use the Byte Array to String function on an array of U8s which looks like this:
    where the network order is big endian.  However, I have some functioning, inherited code which interfaces with the same data source and issues a start data command using an array which looks like this:
    In classic style, the author of this code has retired and I'm the only other LabVIEW programmer.  I'm not savvy enough to tell whether this array accomplishes the same task and it's my limited understanding of bytes which is causing the confustion or if this command is combined with another command or what.
    Any insight, leading questions, or valuable commentary is appreciated.
    Solved!

    I think I'm starting to understand how bits, bytes, and such behave with LabVIEW.  Kind of confusing without a solid background in computing...
    According to the documentation-when using the startup command--there is no data payload required; it is ignored by the data source.  My only guess for those elements remaining after the 4th element are that they are simply placeholders so that the data source know this is a completed command or that the original programmer copied the array from one of the other commands (which required the data payload) and those are just residual values he knew were ignored and never bothered to delete.  It would be in keeping with the just-get-it-done approach this programmer favored.
    Thanks for the assistance.  I think I can interpret the other commands for this data source now.
    Cheers.

  • The TCP/IP Write Function is transmitting Hex data as ASCII; E.g. 5 bytes of Hex (010518001E)and TCP/IP transmits 10 bytes in ASCII(30 31 30 35 31 38 30 30 31 45).

    Our TCP/IP Server sent a 8 binary bytes (a float number) and from our TCP/IP Client, we try to convert it back into a float number ... but failed. We did try to use the same sample in com./TCP/IP also use type cast but failed the same! Some one can help us? Thanks

  • PhotoSmart 310a doesn't print using wireless connection

    First... I have to say that if I had known what a HUGE pain in the butt this printer was I would never have bought it.  On top of that, the thing apparently doesn't have an option to "hard wire" connect it to my computer... which the guy at the store didn't bother to point out.  On top of that HP's customer service is, apparently, non-existent, as attempts to reach by phone are useless.
    They can't even seem to get the model number on the machine where you can find it... so the instructions on "how to find your model number" are useless.
    That said... here is my problem... which if I can't fix, I'm simply returning this and getting something else.
    I have my printer all set up.  Wireless is set up.  ePrint is set up.  Test pages print fine.
    I have actually been successful printing with it ONE time.... so I know that it can do it.
    It does give me a "low signal" message - however it seems to have no problem printing using the email option, or downloading from the web for the "reports."   It scans and my laptop "sees" the scanned image, which is transmitted over the wireless network.   If it is truly a low signal problem it seems like it would have issues with other functions regarding the internet.  
    BUT... when I send something from my laptop (MacBook OSX 10.5.8) to the printer it says...
    .. connecting
    .. idle
    .. priinting (%)
    .. then the print job disappears from the queue in the dialog box ... yet nothing actually prints out.
    .. it then say's "Printer Ready" - I guess ready for another print job that it won't perform.
    .. It does NOT give any kind of error code... say it's "paused" or anything like that.  It's as if it THINKS it is printing... but it does not.  It makes no sound like it's trying to print either.  Paper is loaded in fine and it will print test pages with no problem and doesn't indicate any problems on those other than "low signal"
    ... When I use the "printer utility" to print a test page - also goes wireless - it prints just fine.
    I've tried to use this printer only 4 times now for various jobs... and each time has been an ordeal lasting from 30 minutes to several hours.    I've managed to get it to print on one occasion... though I can not remember how I did it.
    It has NO problem printing from an email... so I guess I could just always do it that way... but it involves several extra steps to do so and I'm not even sure it would work for every type of print job I need.
    It works fine scanning
    It works fine photocoping
    It works fine printing from ePrint (email)
    It just DOES not print via the wireless connection
    I don't understand how a company can make something this sophisticated and not have it give you an ERROR CODE when it fails to complete a function... and frankly, I'm fed up with this thing.  It's a big, oversized, shiny paperweight and I've wasted way too much of my time trying to figure it out.  This is one last ditch effort.
    Can anyone help?    THANKS so much if you can!
    Sue

    It is more likely a network problem, so please tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
    In the mean time, you could try this quick trick; resetting the printing system:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Oh, and indeed this printer does have a USB port for connection directly to your computer.  It does NOT have an Ethernet port for connection directly to your router.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus will not maintain wireless connection reliably

    For the HP EXPERTS on Expert Day, April 18, 2012:
    B.L.A.T. (Bottom Line At Top):  We have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus purchased about 5 months ago.  We wanted to use it as a wireless-connected printer in another room besides our home office.  It is useless to us because it will not maintain its wireless connection, even sitting just a few feet from the router in the same room.  Except for numerous hours of troubleshooting, we have left it sitting powered up, but unused and idle, for almost the entire 5 months in our home office.  DURING ALL THAT IDLE TIME, IT HAS LOGGED OVER 3,200 DISCONNECTS, at a consistent rate of 24 disconnects every 24 hours, even though it ALWAYS reports that the wireless signal quality is “EXCELLENT” (all this is according to the Wireless Network Test Reports we’ve printed throughout the last 5 months).  So our question is, what is it that this printer is trying to do once an hour over a wireless connection that is causing these thousands of disconnects?  And how can we stop it?
    NOTE!  Before you round up the usual suspects (namely our router and our PC firewalls) please note that we also bought an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus ON THE SAME DAY as the Officejet 6500A Plus.  The 8600 was also installed with a wireless connection, and has worked without a single network issue for the entire 5 months.
    NOW, FOR THE REST OF THE STORY…
    WHO WE ARE:  My wife and I have worked on HP equipment for 33 years, starting in 1979 as corporate customers of HP when we worked for Exxon; then we both worked for HP directly for 17 years; and we’ve now used dozens of pieces of HP equipment in our home during the last 12 years in retirement.  We’re primarily software folks, so we’re not exactly experts in hardware and networking, but on the other hand, this ain’t our first rodeo either.
    OUR CONFIGURATION: 
    PC’s – All running Windows 7 x64 with all important patches applied and Norton Internet Security 2012:  HPE-270f and HP AIO 200-Quad, each with full 6500A and 8600A drivers installed on wireless connection.  These 2 PC’s themselves can connect either wirelessly or via Ethernet to our home network.  The 270f has a dual-band wireless board.  Both bands work.  We also have a new dv7t laptop with only the full 6500A driver installed via wireless connection.  The laptop is now upstairs and it’s connected to our home network wirelessly without any issues.  (This is where we had hoped to also put the 6500A, but it needs to work reliably via wireless connection.)
    ROUTER:  Netgear N600 WNDR3700 providing Ethernet and wireless networking.  Router provides a very strong wireless signal throughout the house.  No wireless problems with any other equipment including an iPod, two Kindle Fires besides all the HP equipment.
    PRINTERS:  Besides the two HP printers, the HPE-270f PC has a Canon MP960 installed on it.  And if we can’t get the 6500A working right or replaced with something that does work right, we may be buying our second Canon printer.  By the way, on the 6500A, ePrint and App’s are set to ON, but of course they’re not being used, just like everything else on this AIO.
    OTHER:  We also have a Sonos music system that connects to our network via Ethernet and has its own proprietary mesh network (on another frequency) for transmitting ripped music wirelessly to speaker units throughout our house.  (If you aren’t familiar with this totally cool system, check out sonos.com).  We’ve never seen any evidence of interference between these two wireless networks, or our wireless phone sets either.
    HP TOOLS AVAILABLE ON ALL 3 PC’s:  HPU
    UPDATE 5.003.001.001 (reporting everything up-to-date); HPHDU 3.1.0.17; HPPDU 5.0.0.015 and HPNDU 4.3.0.002. 
    SYMPTOMS:  The 6500A Plus installs quickly and easliy, and connects wirelessly just fine during installation.  But sometime over the next hour (usually less), it disconnects and won’t print from PC applications.  Sometimes the application puts up an “Unable to communicate with printer” screen, even though the PC usually thinks the printer is “ready”.  Other times, the PC thinks the printer is offline (but printers don’t have “offline” buttons anymore!).  Often, if you just leave everything alone, the 6500A will somehow reconnect and print out the spooled file 5-30 MINUTES later.  So it does usually seem to be able to recover given some time, but that doesn’t always fit our schedule!   Occasionally, turning the wireless radio on the printer off and back on will fix it right away.  But usually, you have to power the printer completely off, and then back on.  As far as we know, that always fixes it…..until the next disconnect a few minutes later!
    PREVIOUSLY TRIED:  After reading some of HP’s wireless network support websites, I manually assigned a fixed IP address to this printer.  It didn’t seem to matter; according to the wireless network test report, it still logs disconnects at the rate of one per hour, and all the failure symptoms were the same.
    We also dabbled a bit with setting this printer as “trusted” to the Firewall, but that didn’t seem to matter either.
    Next, we connected the printer via Ethernet.  The printer immediately started to work, even though it had just been in its “failed” state over the wireless connection.  As far as we know, it never failed while connected via Ethernet.  This seems to point to a purely wireless hardware/firmware problem on the printer itself.
    Late last year, I tried two different chat sessions about this with the inter-continental AIO support teams, each one lasting several hours.  Unfortunately, none of their optimistic solution scripts seemed to fit our problem.  They both seemed determined to reconfigure the 6500A as a TCP/IP printer, which of course worked fine initially, just like everything else.  At this point, they would understandably want to close the chat.  But 20-30 minutes later, we could no longer print to it.  During the second chat, they got into one of our PC’s remotely and effectively turned off the spooler (by selecting “Print Directly” or something like that).  After that, all was well again (as usual) UNTIL the printer disconnected, at which time attempting to print from that PC would HANG the application (since the spooler was no longer buffering) and eventually hang the whole PC.  One giant leap backwards.  That’s when I gave up on the multi-hour chat sessions.
    The three diagnostic utilities (HDU, PDU, NDU) have been tried over and over.  When the printer is in its disconnected state, the DU’s usually don’t detect the 6500A at all, or if they do detect it, they are unable to fix anything.  Frankly, it’s easier to just power the printer off (which takes about a minute) and power the printer back on (which takes more than a minute) and then wait for the spooler to kick in (usually about 30 seconds).  BUT WE DON’T CONSIDER THAT A SOLUTION!!
    B.L.A.B.  (Bottom Line At Bottom):  We have used up nearly the entire black ink cartridge and at least a ream of paper troubleshooting this brand new printer, to no avail.  This printer is useless to us unless it can maintain a wireless connection reliably.  Please help!
    Thanks –
    Bob and Jane
    (Note: we have an appointment from about 11:20 am EDT – 1 pm EDT, 8:20 am PDT till about 10 am PDT)

    I bought the Officejet 6500A Plus about one month and have experienced the very same problem. I tried to remedy this problem following suggestions in a number of different posts (static IP, router, firewalls etc), all to no avail. Last week I called support. The support I received by the tech over several hours and different days for a week was very good. However none of his suggestions corrected the connection issue. After today's recommended fix failed, he advised HP is aware of this issue with the 6500 and other affected printers. He claimed HP was working on a firmware upgrade. He did not know when the update would be provided. The tech also claimed HP acknowledged this problem in a written announcement. He agreed to email the announcement to me. I haven't received it. This has been the only problem I've had with the 6500

  • WRT310N v1 and MacBook Pro wireless issues

    Hi all,
    I've been having ongoing wireless issues with my WRT310N v1. I have a macbook pro (early 2009) with mac os 10.5.8. I have cable internet, with a DHCP connection. I have a computer and PS3 hardwired through the router, and they work flawlessly. The wireless, however, has never been what it should be. Internet loads slow, even though the connection speed is pretty good (not as fast as hardwired devices, but close).
    Here are the wireless settings:
    wireless config: manual
    network mode: mixed (the Macbook can get wireless-n, by iPhone is only g)
    Radio band: standard 20 mhZ
    wide channel: 9 (can't change this with this config, unless i go wide channel at 40 mhZ)
    standard channel: 11
    SSID broadcast: enabled
    I've got WPA2 security, with AES encryption. I've set the Beacon interval to 75, and left the Fragmentation and RTS thresholds at default. The firewall is activated, and "filter anonymous internet requests" is disabled.I'm wondering if I'm losing so much speed by broadcasting a mixed signal, instead of just G or just N. I've tried transmitting only in Wireless-N, but there's no noticeable change (and the iPhone can't connect at all). 
    Any input at all would be really appreciated. I'm hoping I don't have to fork over $30 to linksys just to get tech support. Thanks in advance.

    Well its not necessary to power cycle your router everytime whenever you make any changes on your Router. But if you re-configure all the settings on your from scratch, then its better to power cycle your router.

  • Time Capsule Base via ethernet to an Airport Extreme to extend Wireless

    I have set up a new Time Capsule dual band (TCBStn) as a base station (connected to the internet). I want to connect a new Airport Extreme dual band in a family room far away from the base via Ethernet. This family room has an Apple TV to which I want to stream video. I am not able to connect the AE via the Airport Utility as the Airport Utility does nor recognize the AE.

    My recommendation is to configure your two base station as a "roaming" network. This will allow wired/wireless clients to connect to either and still be able to "see" each other for sharing.
    Please start by powering-down all of your network components as follows:
    o Power-down the modem, Time Capsule (TC), AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), Apple TV (ATV), and the iMac. Note: The power-down order is not critical.
    o With all of these components powered down, disconnect both the TC & AEBSn from the network, and then, perform a "factory default" reset on both to get them back to their "out-of-the-box" configuration.
    o After both have been reset, remove them from power, and then, reconnect them as follows: modem > \[WAN port] > TC > \[LAN port] > \[WAN port] AEBSn, where ">" represents an Ethernet connection.
    o Power-on the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    o Power-on the TC; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    o Power-on the iMac.
    o For now, leave the ATV powered-off.
    In this configuration, both routers will be transmitting their own wireless network, each having a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN, where the Ns represent the last six digits of their respective AirPort IDs.
    Now, from the iMac, use the AirPort Utility (in Manual Setup) to access the TC to make the following configuration changes:
    o Time Capsule > Base Station > Time Capsule Name = TC
    o Time Capsule > Wireless > Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    o Time Capsule > Wireless > Wireless Network Name = <enter the desired Network Name>
    o Time Capsule > Wireless > Radio Channel Selection = Automatic
    o Internet > Internet Connection > Connect Sharing = Share a public IP address
    o Leave all the other default settings (for now).
    o Click on Update to write the new configuration to the TC.
    While still in the AirPort Utility, select the AEBSn, and then, make the following changes:
    o AirPort > Base Station > AirPort Extreme Name = AEBSn
    o AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    o AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Network Name = <use the same Network Name that you created for the TC>
    o AirPort > Wireless > Radio Channel Selection = Automatic
    o Internet > Internet Connection > Connect Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    o Leave all the other default settings (for now).
    o Click on Update to write the new configuration to the AEBSn.
    You should now have a basic roaming network. Verify that your iMac can access the Internet while connected to either base station by wire or wireless. Please post back your results.

  • Wireless UDP

    hello,
    just really needed some clarification on java reading data from a UDP or wireless...
    I ALREADY know how to write java code on reading data from a UDP Port very simple..
    however my main concern is some hardware is transmitting data via wireless 802.11 b -
    and i need to catch that data (connected to wireless network) - and some how transmit
    data from the wireless to UDP port and then in the java application. firstly is this possible or will i have to
    have a wire connecting to the hardware??? thanks in advance

    Since I want to assume that the question carries some substance, all I can say is that UDP, as opposed to TCP,
    is an unreliable protocol. This means packets are not guaranteed to be delivered at all, they may not arrive in the
    same order as transmitted and they can even arrive multiple times. If your application can deal with this, fine.
    If the application assumes reliable delivery, because the experience shows that the bad things do not happen,
    than you may have a problem. Wireless networks may be less reliable than wired networks, depending on such
    factors as distance, quality of equipment, physical obstacles.

  • New Airport Extreme isn't working... hardware issue?

    Hey,
    I recently bought a new 802.11n airport extreme, after having some troubles with a four year old wireless router. My old router would stop working, forcing me to unplug and plug the unit back in to get it to restart. This would happen about once or twice a week. Two days ago I bought the new airport extreme, and successfully set it up (or so I thought). It displays impressive speeds and seemed to work completely fine from the moment I set it up.
    Around two hours later however, the unit stopped transmitting. The wireless network disappeared, and even using airport utility I could not see the unit. I took a look at the unit and noticed that it still displayed a green light (I thought this only occurred when everything was in proper working order). I found a solution to be to unplug and plug back in the router. However, a few hours later, the exact same thing occurred. This has been happening every few hours ever since I plugged it in.
    I've talked to apple support once, and they took me through the process of hard resetting the router. This didn't fix anything.
    Anyway, if anyone has a solution to this problem, I would be VERY appreciative. Also, I can return the unit for a new one within the next 14 days, so if you guys think it's a hardware problem, I would definitely replace it with another unit.
    -Thanks

    I have the same problem with my new AEBS. The AEBS n Giga is connected via ethernet to my G5. About 2 or 3 times a day my entire network will go down. The AEBS light goes off completely and the Airport Utility cannot find it. The only way to get it back is to power cycle it. I called Apple and was told this is a "known issue" and that I would just have to wait for a firmware update to correct the problem. I'm not happy.... I plan on calling and insisting on a replacement as this problem doesn't seem to happen with EVERY unit. My friend bought one the same day and store that I did and he has no problems. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
    Update:
    Apple exchanged it and I got a new one today. I plugged it in only to have the exact same problems!!!! The "geniius' at the bar said he had the same problem and it was his modem. Whatever.... Mine's going on ebay today. Too bad, cause when it worked it was great!

  • Setting up a WiFi network from iMac... works on "old" iMac, not "new"

    Hello,
    I hope I'm not crazy, or even worse, stupid.
    I an running two iMacs in my home office. Old one= 21" 2 Ghz PowerPC G5, purchased summer 2005 and still running like a champ.  New one=27" 2.7 Ghz Intel i5. Purchased the new one July 2011. I have a cable modem plugged into the ethernet port on the old iMac. I've been accessing internet on new iMac with wifi and the internet sharing network I set up on old one. I also use wifi on my ipad and laptop. I have never had even a single dropped wifi connection on any of these devices.
    I pretty much expected the same kind of result and performance when I reset the cable modem and plugged it into the new imac and took similiar steps to set up  internet sharing/wifi network on new iMac. This has not been the case.
    What's happening is:
    The cable modem plugged to new iMac is working fine; verified with ISP. I set up wifi network on new iMac and turn on internet sharing. I locate my network name on ipad, laptop, even the old iMac, and I see the name in the list, so I figure so far so good. The signal icon appears in menu bar as usual. I open a web site to verify it's working. And it's working...for about 20 seconds. Then I get alert messages that there is no internet connection.
    After creating a bunch of new networks and changing channels, changing type of security, even passwords, I realized I wasn't going to figure this out by myself. I'm not a technical person; Apple spoiled me and I stopped learning how to do anything except plug stuff in 20 years ago.
    I started researching online including these discussion boards and answers have ranged from "It's the iMac! It's a hardware problem they never fixed! The aluminum case gets too hot!" to, "there's no airport card and you have to buy an external router."  I gave up and called Apple, thinking surely they'd be able to give me a straight answer. Ha ha. Nope.
    Of course the bottom line is I could buy applecare (haven't yet...haven't used the computer hardly and I'm still under warranty), I could buy telephone tech support, or I can take the machine to the geniuses.
    I keep thinking this can't be that complicated. When I buy a new iMac--this is my 4th one--I expect things will get easier, not this complicated mess.
    Oh, last I want to include I just reversed everything back to the way it was. My old iMac is connected to the cable modem and the old iMac is back to being my wifi network, sharing internet with the new imac, my ipad and laptop. Easy as pie.
    I'm making an appointment with the geniuseses but hoping it's just something I'm too dumb to realize I'm doing wrong.
    Thank you in advance for your patience; any help is much appreciated!

    It never occurred to me that the wireless network/internet sharing thing wouldn't work just as well if not better on a brand new machine with the improved technologies I pretty much expect. Metal could be interfering with the signal? The machine is aluminum!! I'm no engineer but that seems kind of...flawed.  I just don't understand.
    I think the WiFi antenna is near an edge of the computer to avoid being encased in metal. It should work like t did in your old computer, but as I said, the use of a Mac to share an internet signal is much less common than use of a router so even if the newer computers have a non-optimal design, it might not get widely noticed in forums like these.
    Sounds like AppleCare is what you want, so I'd get it and then have them check that your Mac is transmitting thru the wireless card/antenna as strongly as it should be. The antenna clearly works as you can RECEIVE a signal, but the transmitter uses different circuitry than the receiver. By the way, I think AppleCare is a good thing to get for iMacs and for laptops as they are very compact and tend to be more prone to thermal problems than other desktop computers.
    I have no idea about routers aside from, of course, the apple air port one that the phone tech support guy mentioned. Are there others that are less money and just as good? I don't feel like rewarding apple for selling me a product that doesn't do what the earlier geration machines did without a problem. Seems like they shouldn't make another $200 because of their flaw. My old iMac's wifi signal was strong enough for a 3500 square foot house, 2 laptops and an iphone.
    Would getting an external router definitely solve my problem? Which one would you recommend if I go that route?
    I also did not understand why the Apple routers (Airport) were so much more expensive than other brands. So I purchased a linksys n router some years ago and it has worked quite well. They are very easy to configure through an ordinary web browser (some Mac folks prefer the Airport utilities that are used to configure the Airport routers, but I find the web browser interface very easy to use for the non-Apple routers), and they are in very widespread use (linksys isn't the only brand that is good for this, there are others, but I've had good experience with both Belkin and Linksys). You can get very high performing n routers from Belkin and Linksys for under $100. I'd get a router that has dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), and I think most include standard features like MAC filtering (a security measure), WPA2 security, and I thiink offering Gigabit ethernet ports would be good also in case you connect something to it like a hard drive server or a printer or want a fast local network sometime in the future.
    I think the router will solve your problem and do a better job of wirelessly distributing your internet signal, but if the problem is due to a faulty wireless card (that receives fine but doesn't transmit properly) in the new iMac, I'd want to get that fixed under warranty (or AppleCare) now rather than later.
    One more thing: if your wireless card in the new iMac is working properly but the physical layout is such that the internet sharing isn't working well, you OUGHT to be able to eventually get it to work by moving the other devices you are sharing with around to different locations, as eventually one should end up in a spot that works. If nothing can receive the shared internet from the new iMac, even when 3 feet away, then something might well be wrong with the new iMac's transmitter.

  • Wired dslr control cinematography or videography?

    I've noticed that the only way to use an iPad as a field monitor for my Canon 7D is through an app that transmits the signal wirelessly (i.e. camRanger,Teredek - TeraCentral). A method that doesn't work for video due to the delay. I've seen wired dslr control apps for android. It doesn't seem like a logical leap to think that I should be able to use my hdmi converter (with an app of some-sort) and get a live display of the camera feed.  What gives? Any hope of having this option for iPad?
    Any info would be appreciated.

    Hi mdantzker,
    Thank you for posting.
    Given the distances you are working with, I would say that a wireless and USB connection are both out of the question here.  The camera can connect over WiFi, but the operating range over WiFi is very limited.  This is the case with any device and WiFi.  Also, the maximum USB cable length specified by the USB standard is 5 meters.
    The best thing to do in this case is to use the ethernet port on the camera for a wired connection.  It is much the same as WiFi, but your range and reliability will be greater.  The maximum cable length in an ideal situation is around 100 meters.  Just like a WiFi connection, you can establish the connection to the camera using the WFT Utility and EOS Utility.  The lastest version of EOS Utility does support the EOS-1DC and should operate both the still and video functions remotely.
    One thing to note for video recording remotely is that all the video that is recorded is stored on the camera's memory card until shooting is done, then you are prompted to download it.

  • Losing GPRS connection on HWIC-3G-GSM

    Hi,
    I have configured Cisco 2801 with HWIC-3G-GSM to work as a GPRS router.
    The configuration is:
    chat-script gsm "" "atdt*99***1#" TIMEOUT 60 "CONNECT"
    chat-script pin "" "at+cpin=xxxx"
    interface Cellular0/1/0
      ip address negotiated
      ip virtual-reassembly
      encapsulation ppp
      dialer in-band
      dialer pool-member 1
      dialer-group 1
      async mode interactive
      ppp chap hostname ""
      ppp chap password 0 ""
    interface Dialer1
      ip address negotiated
      encapsulation ppp
      dialer pool 1
      dialer idle-timeout 0
      dialer string gsm
      dialer persistent delay initial 20
      dialer-group 1
    access-list 1 permit any
    dialer-list 1 protocol ip list 1
    line 0/1/0
      script startup pin
      script dialer gsm
      no exec
      rxspeed 236800
      txspeed 118000
    Normally it works fine, but when the signal level is very low it stops to respond. So this is normal, but when the signal is back again, the connection is still lost, or more specific, in my eyes the router (dialer?) doesn't know that the connection is lost.
    The test scenario looks like this:
    - ping 172.16.1.1 repeat 500
    - ping response is received
    - I'm disconnecting an antenna
    - pings stops working
    - connecting back the antenna
    - pings are still not working, and all I can do is just to reboot router
    I think that it might be a problem with interoperability with a specific GSM carrier.
    I have checked what is going on with modem during this test and it looks like this:
