What's the difference between "Extend" or "Join" a wireless network?

I have a Time Capsule as my main base station and an Airport Express I'd like to use on another floor of my home for an internet connection for my Blu-ray player and to stream music via Airtunes. If I connect the Express to the Blu-ray using Ethernet and to my speakers with an audio cable, should I set up the Express to Extend or Join my network?

Extend.
What's the difference between "Extend" or "Join" a wireless network?
When you configure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to "join an existing wireless network" it will perform like any other wireless client (laptop, printer, etc.) that connects to that wireless network. It will NOT perform as a router nor extend the wireless range of (in this case) the Time Capsule (TC).
However, if you configure the AX to "extend a wireless network" it will perform as an additional wireless access point to your TC's wireless network, effectively extending the TC's wireless range. In addition, the AX's Ethernet port will also be enabled and you can connect a single Ethernet client or multiple ones if you connect an Ethernet switch instead.

What is the difference between 1st and 4th generation wireless?

I see on my various airports there is 1st and 4th generation. What are the differences?

For the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn):
1st generation: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports; non-simultaneous dual-band operation; 802.11n draft
4th generation: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports; simultaneous dual-band operation; 802.11n final
For the 802.11n Time Capsule (TC):
1st generation: 500 GB or 1 TB HDD, non-simultaneous dual-band operation; 802.11n draft
4th generation: 2 TB or 3 TB HDD, simultaneous dual-band operation; 802.11n final

What are the differences between aiport extreme and linksys wireless router

We currently have an apple macbook connecting to the internet via a linksys router. We are considering an airport extreme wireless router, we are considering the cost. What are the advantages of purchasing an Airport Extreme router.... ??? Currently my wireless access appears to be more than adequate.

Besides Bob Timmons' comments, an AirPort Extreme supports these things, which your Linksys router may or may not support:
- A USB-connected networked disk drive
- A USB-connected printer that can be shared by all computers on your network
- MobileMe access to your local resources from outside your local network
- Configuration via a dedicated program, rather than via a browser interface
If none of these interests you or if any that interest you are already offered by your current router, and if you're happy with your Linksys router, then I'd keep the Linksys router.

The Difference between Extending a Wireless network and WDS?

I have an Extreme (n) and an Express (n).
I want to make sure the signal is strong upstairs and share a printer (connected to the express) and use AirTunes. I also may add an external drive to the Extreme.
What's the difference between Extending a Wireless Network and using WDS? Will there be a speed difference?

I think you don't get it
If I have another draft N router that operates at 2.4G and I have only n devices I can still use WDS and it will connect using draft n in the 2.4G band.
If one g device connects to the network will go in mixed mode.
The AEBS will still report 130 Mbps for your n clients and 54 for your g clients.
If the other router is g only obviously you can't connect between the two router at n mode but still the AEBS will be in mixed mode and not in g. The Extreme will still report 130 Mbps for the connected n clients.
I can tell you that because I have actually implemented it am not taking off the documentation.
The same device if I try to use the "extend n network" does not even see the AEBS but will happily keep the n in the WDS mode and though the bandwidth is halved it is still more than g.
In any case enough for this!

Which airport is good to extend my wifi, what is the difference between the AirPort Extreme and the airport express base sstation

What is the difference between the AirPort Extreme and the airport express base station and which one can extend my wifi router.

With rare exceptions of a few older routers, neither one can extend a non-Apple router's network wirelessly - they are not designed that way - but you can extend the wireless network if the Extreme is hardwired to the router or you can connect wirelessly and join the network as an access point that will provide remote ethernet access but not produce or extend the wireless signal - here is a comparison of the Apple base stations - http://www.apple.com/wifi/

What is the difference between Classic and Extended Withholding Tax

Hi,
Can some please tell me what is the difference between Classic Withholding and Extended Withholding Tax. How can I look at the Withholding Tax deducted from a particular invoice?
Number Guaranteed.
Thanks.

Dear Prem,
Withholding tax is the basically a tax withheld during the Vendor payment. So when making the payment to vendor the amount will be deduct (i.e withheld tax)
from the invoice and paid. The customer is actually the tax to tax authorities.
you can visit for more info.
Withholding Tax
For the config steps you go to the IMG path FI > Financila accounting for the Global settings > Withholding Tax
Withholding tax configuration is done by FI person.
Hope this helps you

What Is The Difference Between A Router Extender & A Bridge?

Since I was here, I just thought I'd ask what is the difference between a router extender like the RE 1000 and what is known as a bridge? Does one work better than the other? Is one better for one thing, like a wired DVD player, than the other?

The RE1000 can act as range extender as well as bridge where as the versatile Wireless Ethernet Bridge can make a wired Ethernet-enabled device a part of your wireless network.
If we talk abuot the functionality in the bridge mode, then in that case both will be same the only difference will be, WET610N will be getting DUAL frequency i.e. 2.4GHz and 5GHz from the wireless network if that is also a DUAL band.

What is the difference between WDS and Extending a network?

What is the difference between the two? Why choose one over the other?

Both the WDS and "Extend a wireless network setting will add more coverage area to a wireless network.
WDS must be used if any device on the network is an older "g" device. The downsides to WDS are that it drops the overall wireless speed down to "g" levels (even if there are other newer "n" routers on the network) and cuts the bandwidth capability of the network in half for each "remote" device that is added to the network. That's a really severe loss in performance.
"Extend a wireless network" is a newer technology that can be used only if all of the routers on the network are newer "n" capable devices. It allows full "n" speeds and imposes only a small bandwidth penalty on the network. Obviously, this is the setup to use if your devices will support the technology.

What is the difference between Roaming & Extended

What is the difference between Roaming & Extended on Voice Roaming Indicators?

Extended usually means that you are on a network other than one owned by your carrier but with whom your carrier has an agreement so you are not charged extra. "Roaming" would mean you are on a network not owned by your carrier and with which they have no agreement. You may be charged an additional fee. Consult your carrier.
Best of luck.

What is the difference between start() and run()

Hi:
what is the difference between start() and the run()???
in my app, i have
Console.debug( "starting thread to listen for clients" );
_server = new Server( this );
_server.start();
_server extends Thread..
why everytime i use server.start(); my app will terminate on it is own, even though in my servr.run() method, i have a while loop
and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code, that while loop will be in execution
can someone let me know??
thnx

what is the difference between start() and the
run()???start() is a method on Thread that tells it to start.
run() is a method in the object that the thread executes.
why everytime i use _server.start(); my app will
terminate on it is own, Err.... I'm not convinced this is true. It'll throw an IllegalThreadStateException, if you try to restart an existing thread.
If that's what you're saying.
even though in my _servr.run()
method, i have a while loopI don't see the connection. Are you saying that the while loop never terminates, and you don't see why the thread is terminating?
and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code,
that while loop will be in executionIf you call server.run() explicitly, then run() will be executed in the same thread that you called it in.

What is the difference between apple warranty and applecare and applecare plus

I understand that apple warranty covers damage due to manufacture defects and applecare is the extended warranty and insurance. Then what is applecare+? What is the difference between applecare and applecare+?

The AppleCare extended warranty extends the standard one year warranty by two years and includes free telephone support for two years.
The Apple Plus extended warranty does the same and includes some insurance covering accidental damage with a two claim limit with a deductible over the two year period.

What is the difference between apple care protection plan and apple care

What is the difference between apple care protection plan and apple care +

apple care protection plan
That is the extended warranty (total of 3 years including the standard warranty for the first year) for any Mac computer.
apple care +
That is the extended warranty (total of 2 years including the standard warranty for the first year) for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone, etc).
For either, the standard warranty is usually referred to as hardware warranty (not Applecare); see an example for the warranty for an iMac:
http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/embedded-mac-warranty-us.html
whereas the extended Applecare is referred to as that:

What's the difference between transport route and transport layer

what's the difference between transport route and transport layer,Can somebody give me some explaination? thks in advance!

Hi,
Transport Layer in ABAP Workbench
    The Change and Transport System supports the distribution of development
    work on large projects across multiple SAP Systems.
    The packages in each development system are grouped into one transport
    layer.
    The transport layer determines whether objects are assigned to a local
    or transportable change request.
Use
    Each of your SAP development systems is assigned a transport layer as
    its standard transport layer. If you use Extended Transport Control, you
    can assign different standard transport layers to certain clients.
    You can define at the most one consolidation target for each SAP System
and transport layer.
When you create a package, it is assigned the standard transport layer
of the SAP System.
If you want to assign a different transport layer to a package, you
require the administration authorization for the Change and Transport
System.
The objects in a package automatically have the transport attributes
defined for the corresponding transport layer.
o   If a consolidation route originating in their SAP System is defined,
     then the objects are assigned to a transportable request, and
     transported into the consolidation target when it is released.
o   If a consolidation route is not defined, the objects are assigned to
     a local request, and are not transported.
Customizing settings are not assigned to a package. They have the
transport attributes of the standard transport layer of the system or
client.
It is best to assign a package a standard transport layer for which a
consolidation route originating in the development system is defined.
To display and maintain the transport layers and routes, use the
Transport Management System (transaction STMS).
Only the system adminstrator can make changes.
Caution:
     The tables TSYST, DEVL, TWSYS, TASYS are no longer productive as of
     Release 4.0A and cannot be maintained.
Regards
Ben

What's the Difference Between OLAP and OLTP?

HI,
What's the difference between OLAP and OLTP ? and which one is Best?
-Arun.M.D

Hi,
The big difference when designing for OLAP versus OLTP is rooted in the basics of how the tables are going to be used. I'll discuss OLTP versus OLAP in context to the design of dimensional data warehouses. However, keep in mind there are more architectural components that make up a mature, best practices data warehouse than just the dimensional data warehouse.
Corporate Information Factory, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon, Claudia Imhoff, Ryan Sousa
Building the Data Warehouse, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon
With OLTP, the tables are designed to facilitate fast inserting, updating and deleting rows of information with each logical unit of work. The database design is highly normalized. Usually and at least to 3NF. Each logical unit of work in an online application will have a relatively small scope with regard to the number of tables that are referenced and/or updated. Also the online application itself handles the majority of the work for joining data to facilitate the screen functions. This means the user doesn't have to worry about traversing across large data relationship paths. A heavy dose of lookup/reference tables and much focus on referential integrity between foreign keys. The physical design of the database needs to take into considerations the need for inserting rows when deciding on physical space settings. A good book for getting a solid base understanding of modeling for OLTP is The Data Modeling Handbook: A Best-Practice Approach to Building Quality Data Models by Michael C. Reingruber, William W. Gregory.
Example: Let's say we have a purchase oder management system. We need to be able to take orders for our customers, and we need to be able to sell many items on each order. We need to capture the store that sold the item, the customer that bought the item (and where we need to ship things and where to bill) and we need to make sure that we pull from the valid store_items to get the correct item number, description and price. Our OLTP data model will contain a CUSTOMER_MASTER, A CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_MASTER, A STORE_MASTER, AN ITEM_MASTER, AN ITEM_PRICE_MASTER, A PURCHASE_ORDER_MASTER AND A PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ITEM table. Then we might have a series of M:M relationships for example. An ITEM might have a different price for specific time periods for specific stores.
With OLAP, the tables are designed to facilitate easy access to information. Today's OLAP tools make the job of developing a query very easy. However, you still want to minimize the extensiveness of the relational model in an OLAP application. Users don't have the wills and means to learn how to work through a complex maze of table relationships. So you'll design your tables with a high degree of denormalization. The most prevalent design scheme for OLAP is the Star-Schema, popularized by Ralph Kimball. The star schema has a FACT table that contains the elements of data that are used arithmatically (counting, summing, averaging, etc.) The FACT Table is surrounded by lookup tables called Dimensions. Each Dimension table provides a reference to those things that you want to analyze by. A good book to understand how to design OLAP solutions is The Data Warehouse Toolkit: Practical Techniques for Building Dimensional Data Warehouses by Ralph Kimball.
Example: let's say we want to see some key measures about purchases. We want to know how many items and the sales amount that are purchased by what kind of customer across which stores. The FACT table will contain a column for Qty-purchased and Purchase Amount. The DIMENSION tables will include the ITEM_DESC (contains the item_id & Description), the CUSTOMER_TYPE, the STORE (Store_id & store name), and TIME (contains calendar information such as the date, the month_end_date, quarter_end_date, day_of_week, etc).
