Using the WAP300N access point in combination with a WES610N Media Bridge

Here is the situation:
I live on a small farm and have an office separate from my main house. My current router is a EA4500 and it is located in the office which is approximately 45 feet from the main house. Current wireless signal strength at the interior wall closest to the office is nominally -55 to -50 dBm but drops off dramatically on the other side of the house. I currently have a WES610N media bridge on the far side of the house that is supporting a DVR and TV. The WES610N is receiving signal from the router but it is weak. Wireless network site survey indicates only 4-6% reception whcih I'm assuming is somewhere around -80 dBm based on measurments I made using a WiFi analyzer app on my tablet.
I had an RE1000 that bit the dust. What I'd like to do is increase the wireless signal strength in the main house without running a wired connection from the office. I'm considering purchasing a WAP300N Access Point which will also function as an range externder. However, I am curious if there is any merit/efficeincy in also buying an additional WES610N Media Bridge an then connecting the WAP300N to the additional WES610N bridge and to allow the WAP300 N to serve as an acutual access point.
Any thoughts on whether that would gain anything or would I be better suited by simply using the WAP300N as an extender??

Your planned bridge - wap combo is better than using a range extender. Using an extender would expand the signal but it would cut the bandwidth into half. So, using the bridge-wap combo, it would expand the range without loosing bandwidth quality. It should be the same setup with an extender from where you'll place the combo at the edge of the wireless signal from your main network. But same rules about wireless signal and connectivity, it is prone to wireless interference.
If your house is running on same circuit line, you can also consider using a powerline adapter. For information about powerline adapter, you can check this Article. It would eliminate deadspots better compared to the previous setup above. But this is just another option that you could take a look at.
Hope this helps.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

Use of business partner functionality in combination with dual control

Is there a generally agreed upon procedure to use the business partner functionality in combination with dual control? The problem is that when you block a business partner, the customer/ vendor master data aren't blocked automatically. You can then still use them in transactions, which leads to problems.
So is there a way to make this work or a procedure to do this?
Niels Vanwingh

Thanks Masa,
I did notice the 'Add external supplier from' in create supplier or bidder option. However there is a small catch and your experience may help.
Let me explain the requirement and scenario here in SRM 7.
We are implementing the Registration of Supplier scenario; both ROS and SRM are in same client. When a potential supplier registers themselves in the registration system, a BP number is created (an Internal number range is defined for this). After accepting the potential supplier in pre-select screen the purchaser has two options to transfer the potential supplier from the ROS system to SRM
Option 1: He can select the accepted potential supplier from the supplier directory option and transfer the business partner to SRM. In this case the business partner number of the potential supplier is retained in SRM and a business partner with supplier and bidder tag is created. However the purchaser does not have any option to select which type of business partner he would like to create like supplier or bidder.
Option 2: Purchase can go to create supplier or bidder option and choose the u2018Add external supplier formu2019 from the ROS system and create the business partner. The ROS business partner details are copied to the create supplier screen, but the purchaser have to provide an external business partner number for the supplier. This is because we have defined external number range for business partner for the vendors that are replicated from ERP to SRM.
Objective is the ROS business partner should be retained in SRM with option to create as supplier and bidder and then manually create ERP supplier with same SRM BP number and map against SRM supplier.
Is there any way we can achieve this?
In SRM 5.5 with Manage business partner functionality we could achieve as system give us the option which business partner type we would like to create as well as retains the ROS BP number in SRM.

Sandeep

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

RTP300 used only as a access point on LAN with WRTP54G

I have the RTP300 which I want to use as an access point for my wireless laptop to my working WRTP54G LAN. The LAN has 2 servers with 4 USB printers that I need to use from the AP. The LAN is on 192.168.40.xxx but when I put the AP there everything shuts down. Any suggestions on the setup. If I seperate the AP to 192.168.30.1 it works to the internet but no LAN use.

check this link below for proper cascading of routers

you may also consider static routing on the devices

When I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router

when I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router.
Below is some info i get about ports.
I tried to set DMZ on my main router to have full access to ported to access point upstair which is in the ip of 192.168.1.2 and the main router in the living room is the gateway router with the 192.168.1.1 ip.
I still cant see apple tv after i try the DMZ method.
any suggestion ?
These network ports are used by Apple TV for communications on your network.
TCP port 123 is used to communicate with a network time server.
TCP port 3689 is used to communicate with iTunes while using the iTunes Library Sharing feature.
UDP port 5353 is used by Apple TV for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using Bonjour.
TCP port 80 is used for communicating with podcast servers.
TCP port 80 and 443 are used for basic and secure communications with the iTunes Store via the Internet.
TCP port 53 is used for regular DNS.
These are well-known ports used by Apple products, like iTunes. If you can use all the features of iTunes, these ports are likely already open on your firewall or NAT router. Note: These ports may also used by other services such as YouTube and Flickr.

When the Apple TV is paired with a remote, it means only that remote can control it, when it's not paired any remote can control it. You will need a remote for each of your devices.

How can we disable the OSX Access Point functionality without disabling all wifi.

Curious if anyone knows a way in Lion/Mountain Lion to disable the OSX access point features.
i have about 50+ macs in our company for iOS development. lately we've had a lot of rogue AP's showing up, people bridging the internal network by activating the "become a hotspot" feature in OSX. this is a *GREAT* feature, don't get me wrong. especially the latency and ease of use.. but in our case its causing problems, and i'm looking at a way to disable the AP features without disabling ALL wifi with something like.
/usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower en1 off
this is a bit too much ,it disables the entire airport/wifi. we want to only disable the access point capabilities.
any hardcore guru's out there have some advise?
TIA!

Enabling sharing services requires administrative access, so one option is to set this and only give folks standard "managed" access. The Internet Sharing service is a process called "InternetSharing" that runs as the root user and establishes all the appropriate services for the needed connection. You could technically remove or even rename this process on systems to prevent it from being used, or remove or disable its launch daemon. These files are in the following directories:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.InternetSharing.plist
/usr/libexec/InternetSharing

Using several UMTS access points (APN) for different services

Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to use several UMTS access points (APN) for different services.
situation:
1) The iPhone is used for business AND private purposes.
2) The company's mobile telephone contract includes a APN, which is only usable by the employees' mobile phones.
problem / question:
Is it possible to define two access points in the iPhone, that for example the exchange account uses the company's APN, while all the other apps use the standard APN of the carrier?
Problem is, that some iPhone's benefits like Push-Messages are blocked by the carrier's APN. Now, I have to switch the access point by installing the appropriate profile every time I want to check my e-mails or vice versa for using "normal" apps.
I hope you can hep me.

Thanks for your help! This really helps a lot! We actually only want to replace the autonmous access point with the controller solution and make one WLAN available at another site. From what I can see, this is possible with our current solution - we just need to switch from Layer 2 to Layer 3 and purchase the corresponding amount of supported Access Points (I think we should be able to get some refurbished ones).
Am I correct in assuming that the Access Points we want to replace (AIR-AP1230B-E-K9 with 802.11b radio only) cannot be upgraded to lightweight ones? Since if I understood document http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html correctly, this is not possible with access points that only have 802.11b radios.
Regarding the switch from Layer 2 to Layer 3: Do we really only need to perform the steps I described in my first post?
And one last question regarding REAP. As far as I understood this is only needed when local traffic needs to be maintained in case the connection to the WLC becomes unavailable. So we really don't need it if we want to access resources that are only available over the WLC?
Thanks again for your help!

It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

How can I monitor the active access point + data c...

My privider (o2 Germany) requires me to use different access points (APN, proxy) on my phone (N80) depending on the type of browsing I want do do (WAP vs. "normal" access), and each of them has a "high cost trap" if I use the wrong one for the particular service.
Very annoying - up to the point that I consider not using the phone for online access at all because I'm so scared to run into uncontrollably high fees.
Anyways. I wonder if there is add-on software for my phone that helps me monitor my data connection, i.e.:
* show me the currently used access point at the top of the display (yes, I know I can go into some deep menus to look it up, but that's not very helpful or even easy to use)
* automatically disconnect when the conn is idle for a while (One of the data modes is time-based, meaning I do not want to have it open all the time by accident)
Currently, all I can see at the top of the display is that I have a data connection at all, but that does not give me enough information to know I'm in the right mode for what I'm doing.
Thomas

You can force a disconnect by pressing the red/hangup key for a couple of seconds when the phone is in the standby state.
And in menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Packet data change the setting "Packet data conn." to "When needed" and leave the "Access point" setting there to "None".
When you or apps on your phone are not doing any data transfer, then regardless of whether it is a WAP or "full" Internet packet data connection, you should not cumulate any charges.
You can also move the Connection Manager app from the Tools submenu to the main menu, or even to the Active standby apps list (or the softkeys) for quicker access. No need to deep dive into menus for it then.
And for individual apps, you can usually set the default access point to whatever is best to use for that particular app. For the browsers ("Web" and "Services") you can also make them ask you to pick the access point every time you connect.

How do i ensure the new access point is joined the controller or not

How do i ensure the new access point is joined the controller or not

To Verifying that Access Points Join the Controller or not there are two ways as below.
Please go through the step by step to find the APs joined state
When replacing a controller, you need to make sure that access points join the new controller.
Using the GUI to Verify that Access Points Join the Controller
Follow these steps to ensure that access points join the new controller.
Step 1 Follow these steps to configure the new controller as a master controller.
a. Click Controller > Advanced > Master Controller Mode to open the Master Controller Configuration page.
b. Check the Master Controller Mode check box.
c. Click Apply to commit your changes.
d. Click Save Configuration to save your changes.
Step 2 (Optional) Flush the ARP and MAC address tables within the network infrastructure. Ask your network administrator for more information about this step.
Step 3 Restart the access points.
Step 4 Once all the access points have joined the new controller, configure the controller not to be a master controller by unchecking the Master Controller Mode check box on the Master Controller Configuration page.
Using the CLI to Verify that Access Points Join the Controller
Follow these steps to ensure that access points join the new controller.
Step 1 To configure the new controller as a master controller, enter this command:
config network master-base enable
Step 2 (Optional) Flush the ARP and MAC address tables within the network infrastructure. Ask your network administrator for more information about this step.
Step 3 Restart the access points.

Setting the Maps Access Point

I just found something quite weird when using Maps on my N82.
If I set the default access point to a configured WLAN and I set 'Go Online at Startup' to no, or if the WLAN is not available, then when I go and select 'Tools/Go Online' it automatically changes the default access point to the mobile providers on air internet access point.
So since I have downloaded all the maps for my area I was planning to leave the internet access off mostly, but should I come to turn it on, it will completely ignore the WLAN default setting and go straight to the mobile network therefore costing me money, and not only, it will change the default to this and leave it like that for next time.
Is there anyway to prevent this behaviour?
And ideally in general, is there any way to congure a set of access points to try in order e.g. try my home WLAN first, my work WLAN second and then the mobile network third? As far as I am concerned once it has asked me if it can go online I don't want to have to select the access point each time, I would rather it attempts a WLAN if possible and then if not goes mobile all without asking me.
Any thoughts appreciated.

I'm kinda in the same situtation, anyway I think it just follows the access points priority on the phone. I was able to use wi-fi in the offline mode (of the mobile)!

We encountered a problem during use the Configtool access JAVA engine.

We encountered a problem during use the Configtool access JAVA engine.
Our environment of system as below:
HardWard: IBM i570
OS: IBM as/400 V5E3
DB: DB2/400
Application system:SAP XI 3.0
The problem we encountered as below:
Our company used XI 3.0 SR1 for exchange data between SAP R/3 and no-sap system.For now,we wanna create a backup system(for
offline recovery),so we backup the XI product system throught entiry system save in AS/400(we stopped the XI system before
save process start).And following,we restored from the tape that we save from XI product system to the new backup system(they
are whole different paratition),but the problem is coming.Describe as following item:
1. The application seem to can be started but the java node always restart circularly(We have 4 java node now),I think
because of different of hardware configure(between XI product and Backup system) and lack of hardware resource.(XI prduction
have 5 CPUs and 22G Mem,Backup system have 2 CPUs and 16G MEM ).Therefore we wanna decrease the number of java nodes for
start application in backup system(throught configtool).
2. We wanna use configtool to decrease the java nodes for start backup system.But we encountered a problem during running the
configtool ,the information of prompt dialog as following:
Error occurred while working with Configuration (Scanning).
Msg:Error while connecting to DB.
We also see the system.log that below the directory of usr\sap\PXI\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\configtool,and found some error as

I cannot print to a p1102w if i am on a machine connected to the same access point as the printer..

I have two p1102w printers set up in a school, any time I try to print it will only work if the laptop i'm using is connected to a different wireless access point than the printer. This happens anywhere in the school, has anyone ever encountered something like this before?
The laotops are running xp sp3 professional by the way.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas.
joray75

First thing to do is check your routing rules and tables in the network to make sure the type of communication you're wanting (printing via wireless on the same access point) is allowed. I'm betting something is off in those that's preventing communication.

I am getting this message: "Please use the add anchor point tool on a segment of a path" -- need help!

Hello guys,
I am new to illustrator and am trying to trace one of my scanned sketches on Illustrator CC. I have been watching tutorials on Youtube.com and have followed every step, but when it comes to using the pen tool, I receive a pop up message reading, "Please use the add anchor point tool on a segment of a path." I researched Adobe forums and came across another discussion with someone who had the same problem. After making the changes that people suggested to the other person's discussion, the problem still occurred with me. I am still getting the same message even after making sure I have deselected Snap to grid, etc. Can anyone please help me out!?

It sounds to me like you're using the Add Anchor Point tool instead of the Pen tool. If you are trying to trace a scanned sketch, you'll be creating content from scratch in which case you want to use the Pen tool. The Add Anchor Point tool can only modify an existing path, it can't create one. Switch to your Pen tool and see if that helps.

Can WRT300N be used as an access point?

My current network uses another company's wireless access point , but I'd like to go to an "N" speed on wireless. A store near me has the WRT300N Wireless-N broadband router on sale. Can I use it as an access point for my wireless computers or do I need something more specific like the WAP4400N access point.
thanks,
Chris

yes..you can certainly use the wrt300n as a wireless AP .. no problem
