Upgradeing the Aironet 1200 - General questions.

It appears that I have a VxWare 1200 Aironet WAP. The Firmware version may be 5.02.03. The SN: is AMB0705M2UL. There are two others of the same age.
We VPN through the device. My research on Cisco www shows that there is a VxWare upgrade needed followed by an upgrade to an IOS (if I am understanding the situation).
My question is should I do this and why. Security for the device is acchieved by using the VPN tunnel.

Hi
From Vxwork to IOS can give you some features like:
Support of G radio, WPA and WPA 2 and much more.
Though I have seems VxWorks devices to be much more stable, so if security is not a concern and if you are happy with the basic wireless features you can stay with VxWorks.

Upgrading the iMac G4 + Other questions

I am very very fond of these type of iMacs so I am looking to buy one from ebay!
I was wondering if it is at all possible to:
A. Upgrade the video memory to 256mb
B. Upgrade the processor to a Intel Core 2 Duo (If so, how?)
C. Upgrade the Bus Speed
Will the Airport card that supports 802.11n work with this iMac?
Also, I am a little uncertain about this so I will ask... Do these have 256mb of RAM already built in? So you can add addition RAM too? What is the most RAM it can support?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I absolutely agree. It's a real shame that they stopped producing this design. Still I've got my spares ready to keep my 20" going and it's easily fast enough for Office/Internet use.
kind regards

TACACS Authorization of Web Interface on Aironet 1200 AP

I have the Aironet 1200 AP setup to authenticate and perform authorization for the CLI via TACACS. That is working fine.
However, the web interface is failing "ip http authentication". (Slight caveat - it works for a local user in the local AP DB - it does not work when it goes to CiscoSecure ACS to authenticate/authorize).
I can get to some pages (prompt and pass authentication), but certain pages (e.g. Services>>SNMP) where configuration steps are taken cause a second prompt is presented, username and password is provided, and it fails.
This is only evident from the output of a "debug ip http authentication"
What do I need to configure in ACS to make this work?
Relevant portion of config:
aaa authentication login default group tacacs+ local
aaa authentication enable default group tacacs+ enable
aaa authorization exec default group tacacs+ local
no ip http server
ip http authentication aaa
ip http secure-server
Sep 7 13:40:59.885: HTTP AAA picking up console Login-Authentication List name: default
Sep 7 13:40:59.885: HTTP AAA picking up console Exec-Authorization List name: default
Sep 7 13:40:59.909: HTTP: Authentication failed for level 15
Sep 7 13:41:06.757: HTTP AAA picking up console Login-Authentication List name: default
Sep 7 13:41:06.757: HTTP AAA picking up console Exec-Authorization List name: default
Sep 7 13:41:06.780: HTTP: Authentication failed for level 15
This document appears to describe a scenario similar to mine, but is for http - not HTTPS:
Local Authentication for HTTP Server Users
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk59/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080178a51.shtml#tac-win
Any ideas what I may be missing here?
Thanks,
Jeff

I found the answer was to use a more specific "ip http authentication" statement. Specifically,it required the following:
CiscoSecure ACS:
Group Settings
Shell (exec)
Priv Level = 15
On the AP:
had to enable:
ip http authentication aaa login-authentication AP_Web (Named Method List)

How can I query signal strength FROM an Aironet 1200 AP?

We are trying to query the signal strength of each connected client on Aironet 1200 APs from the AP.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?
We have examined the MIB documentation for an SNMP solution and have not found the reqired OID/MIB. This solution would be preferable, but at this point we are open to ideas.
Thank you.

Thank you and a follow up ...
Why is no data displayed in the Aironet 1200 SNMP MIB browse web interface when querrying this oid?
When I do a MIB browse from the SNMP web interface on an Aironet 1200 to OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.522.3.12.5.1.9 I do not receive any data in the MIB browse display. The extended statistics in awcTpFdbTable is enabled.
Thanks in advance

Newbie help with Aironet 1200 access point

Hello everybody,
We "inherited" an Aironet 1200 access point with antenna's throughout our building. This was installed by a company that thought they would make money selling Wi-Fi access but now they have gone bankrupt.
We eliminated their router and installed one of our own, and we have it handing out IP addresses. When I plug it into the Aironet 1200 it works just fine. Users are able to connect wirelessly and access the internet.
I would like to change the SSID however so that it no longer reflects the now defunct companies name.
I cannot determine what IP address is assigned to the access point so I can't figure out how to access the management page.
I tried connecting to the ethernet port via a DB9 to RJ45 cable and hyper terminal. After connecting the cable and powering up the access point I am still unable to connect.
I realize once I get connected I will probably run into password issues, but I'd like to figure out how to get at least that far.
Any ideas?

since ur gonna change the ssid and there is a password...
1. reset the ap. before plugging power to ap, press hold the mode button for 3 sec or until the led becomes orange or amber, then release.
2. the ap is reset to default setting with ip address 10.0.0.1
3. either console or gui the ap and change the bvi to ur preferred ip address.
4. configure everything else as you want.

I am proposing to upgrade the 4GB RAM in my Mac Mini 2.5 GHz core i5, by replacing it with 2 x 8GB Crucial 'slots'. Will the performance be significantly better than if I upgrade with 2 x 4GB slots? Is it cost effective, is the question.

My Mac Mini (2.5GHz Core i5) came with 4GB RAM, and I now wish to upgrade the RAM to either 8GB or 16GB in total (Crucial). Clearly, there is a price difference separating the two, but would this be justified by the extent of the improvement in performance, if I went for the more expensive option of 16GB RAM?
Secondly, if I am allowed to pose two questions: what seems to be the most compliant, reliable and cost effective external hard drive for this or Mac Mini's more generally? I was thinking of purchasing a 3TB HD for storing my rather large collection of photographs and Logic Pro 9 musical endeavours.
Your experience and advice would be appreciated, my having only recently made the switch from a Windows system to Mac.

I 150% agree with dwb and woodmeister50 about WD hard drives. They are NOWHERE near the quality they should be. When you can get a Seagate for just a few dollars more, and they last years longer, NO ONE should buy a WD. I lost $25,000 worth of music and audiobooks on a six-week-old WD in 2007 and that was the last I'd ever buy from them. They REFUSED to warranty it with the ORIGINAL sales receipt from Bestbuy.
I have 16Gb of Crucial RAM in my Mini and here's what I've discovered.
You WON'T see "lightning fast" performance increases, becasue the Mini is pretty darned fast to begin with. What you WILL see is that when you're running RAM intensive apps like Photoshop or Parallels, other apps won't "bog down".
Quite frequently I find myself with less than half a gig of free RAM out of that 16. When it was only 8 I was at 100% nearly ALL THE TIME. When I only had the 4 it came with, it was always maxed out.

iCloud requires OS X 10.7.2.

After upgrading to Yosemite I cannot download updates and the icons are not question marks.

I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, I cannot download any updates for apps and cannot purchase apps. When I go to the app store all the icons are have question marks in them. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem?

Repair permissions & restart your comp.

My 2007 iMac is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I must upgrade from OS10.5.8 to at least 10.7. I know I must go to 10.6.8 on the way. Two questions: 1. Can I upgrade on my own (bright but ignorant)? 2. Should I go to 10.7 or Mavericks?

My 2007 iMac is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I must upgrade from OS10.5.8 to at least 10.7. I know I must go to 10.6.8 on the way. Two questions: 1. As a bright but ignorant person, what problems will I encounter in upgrading? 2. Should I go to 10.7 or all the way to Mavericks?

Thanks for your reply--makes me not want to get involved with Mavericks, and I appreciate the heads-up. What I hadn't thought about is that by upgrading my OS I would also have to upgrade from my Adobe CS1. Since I'm retired from my art career, I'm reluctant to spend the dough on new CS; but I still like using PhotoShop and InDesign (and obviously don't care that they are outmoded). But I'll bet any newer Mac OS won't run my old software.

HT4623 I'm trying to upgrade an ipad and in the system under general there is no software update. What do I do?

I'm trying to upgrade an ipad and in the system under general there is no software update. What do I do?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

You likely have a 2G iPod and those can go higher than 4.2.1
A 3G can go to 5.1.1
IA 4G, with cameras can go to iOS 6.1.6.
The 5G, also with cameras can go to iOS 8
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10 or higher. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
- A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
- A 4G to 6.1.6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
- A 5G to iOS 8 Requires iTunes 11.4 or later if you update via iTunes

helo, my iiphone is unlock and i upgrade to 5.1 version when the upgrade finish i get this question-An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now? is there a resone not to upgrade, will he become lock?

If your phone is factory unlocked, or officially unlocked by your carrier, updating will NOT re-lock the phone. If it was unlocke by unauthorized methods, any update or restore will re-lock it.

I upgraded the OS on my iMac to Lion from the App store; and after installation, it restarted and now the operating system won't start up.... it keeps displaying the apple/folder with a question mark and a circle with a line through it! Please help!

Try starting up with your Snow Leopard DVD and see if the disk can be repaired. Once you are at the installer screen go to the Utilities Menu and choose Disk Utility and choose repair disk. You might also want to try Diskwarrior.
Hope this helps.

Most of the time when I turn computer on I get the white screen and question mark. Sometimes it will turn on and work but often the spinning disk starts and especially when opening Iphoto and it generally freezes

Most of the time when I turn on the Mac I get the white screen and question mark appear. Sometimes it will turn on and work. But often the coloured spinning wheel starts up especially after trying to use iphoto it freezes and a couple of times the screen has then gone black. The computer seemed pretty warm yesterday when this happened.
Any suggestions of what I should do to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Ipod Touch 1st Generation General Questions.

I just read where the 1st generation Ipod Touch cannot upgrade software past 3.1.3. SO I assume all of the Apps I have seen and some I have downloaded that state I need newer software are not useable on the Touch I have?
Oh man it appears I got something which is basicaly useless other then playing music like my Ipod Nano can do.
Can I load any Books on the Ipod Touch?
Where can I get information as to what the limits I have with this Ipod Touch 1st Generation so I can get an Idea of what I can do and what I cannot do so I am not sitting trying to achive something that it is not capable of?
I also do not want to irritate the heck out of the community by asking questions or trying to fix errors I think I have when in reality my Ipod is not designed to do the task in the first place.
I do see Wifi on my Ipod Touch but it does not appear to connect even when I use the correct password so I assume it is limited or has to have a Specific Security setup in teh Router to connect properly and would like th know that.
I read some of the Software 3.1 Manual but it does not really go into detail as far as wifi connections just the bare basics which I know I did correct.
I am thinking that it cannot connect to WPA/WPA2 Security and I will have to Dummy down my Wifi Security to accomidate the Ipod Touch is this correct and where can I get this Information also?
I bought this Used and have no Box or any Information about it at all.
Thanks again

One if you can find an app that support the book format. Many book are available in non-DRM pdfs and I think you can find an app that will read pdfs. As you likely know, iBooks is not compatible with the 1G
Where can I get information as to what the limits I have with this Ipod Touch 1st Generation so I can get an Idea of what I can do and what I cannot do so I am not sitting trying to achive something that it is not capable of?
I know of no such document or site.

For wifi problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
The last should identify what encryption works with the 1G.
