To connect a printer to the e586, go into the settings by typing 192.168.1.1 into browser address bar.
Login using username 'Admin' and password 'Admin' (case sensitive)
Click Settings.    
Go to WLAN settings.

  • Using blackberry as modem for wireless communicat​ion for laptop

    I've seen this done but wasn't able to find instructions on how to do this. Does anyone know how to use the blackberry curve as a modem for wireless connectivity for laptop?  What settings do I need and any software for the laptop needed?

  • Can we connect xbee to cfp2020 controller​s serial port for wireless communicat​ion

    hi,
        i wanna do data aqcuisition using ethernet as well as wireless technologies, for that i wanna use xbee with cpf 2020.   is it possible?
    thanks in advance

    You can do it fine..
    I am guessing the wireless modem is really a router as well. When you say wireless do you mean 3g internet or 4g internet or do you mean cable or adsl and a wireless modem router.?? It is just helpful to know what you are talking about by wireless modem or wireless internet.
    You have that plugged into ethernet over power (EOP) adapters .. that is great.
    Plugged into TV again that is fine.. although I am unclear what or how it is decoding.. is it IPTV??
    Now to your specific questions.
    Now, is it possible to
    a) connect the Time Capsule to the powerline, so it can act as an access point? When connected to this powerline (ethernet) I hope I won't loose speed to the wireless connection
    Yes, the TC needs to be bridged..
    Go to manual setup of the Airport utility.. click on the internet tab.. go to connection sharing on the bottom of that page.. select off bridge mode.. update the TC.
    Now you can plug the TC into the EOP adapter. And it will work as Wireless Access Point.. WAP or short AP.. and switch.
    Plug the TV into the TC as well.. that should all work fine.
    b) will I be able to connect my digital tv-decoder to the TC without any problems? So the TC is the decoder's "ethernet port"?
    Hope this is a bit clear, as English is not my mothertongue...
    IPTV can be complicated to setup and exactly how it works will depend on the main router.. sometimes IPTV is only delivered to a specific ethernet port.. in which case the above suggestion will not work.. you can use either internet or the TV.. not both..

  • NB205 and the software Wireless Communicat​ion Switch

    I have just upgraded my NB205-N210 from Windows XP to Windows 7. After running all the relevant Windows Updates and the Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7, just about everything works great. (Note: my function keys do work in conjunction with the Flashcards utility.)
    The one problem is wireless. Some people have posted a related problem, but I think I can pin down the source more precisely. Fn+F8 cannot enable wireless, and Flashcards give the error "Wireless communication is disabled. Please turn on the Wireless communication switch." The NB205 does not have a physical switch to turn on the wireless hardware. In Windows XP, the NB205 turned wireless on and off through a software switch. Is there a version of this software switch for Windows 7? If not, does anyone know a workaround?
    (One more note, I have also tried uninstalling the adapter, but that made no difference.)

  • HP Photosmart C4380 [8A36CB] communicat​ion error with MacBook OS 10.7.5 over wireless

    Hi,
    I keep getting the message 'communication error' when trying to print wireless to a Photosmart C4380 from my MacBook (OS 10.7.5) through a TimeCapsule 2Gb router.
    The message also says: "/usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed" but I don't know what to do with it...
    I tried to de- and re-install, restart laptop, printer and router and pull all plugs in different sequences, first use the USB cable to install wireless and all other help from HP ... but nothing seems to work (HP Doctor is not available for Mac).
    The strange part is that:
    1.it started a couple of weeks ago, without having changed anything (by my knowledge),
    2. printing from my iMac works fine (same wireless network, same software version, same settings, etcetera)!!!
    2. printing over USB from my MacBook works fine
    3. I can print a test-page from "HP Utility" form my MacBook (and of course from my iMac but that one works fine anyway)
    4. I can access the printer through "http://hp8a36cb.local./index.htm?cat=info&page=pri​nterInfo" and there are no issues mentioned whatsoever,
    5. the 'HP Network Configuration Page' and the 'Wireless Network Test Report' congratulate me on the successful setup of my wireless printer... but it doesn't work.
    I've read almost all posts about communication errors over wireless but haven't found an answer to my issue (yet).
    Is there anyone with a solution? Please??

  • It's better or necessary open and close communicat​ion with instrument every loop?

    I must communicate with my instrument, but I must change its value, for example temperature, every loop. See the Figure to understand:
    I think that it is better if I open communication with my instrument out of while loop so I many operation: if I put Open VISA in While loop I open VISA session every loop, instead I think it is not intelligent. Can I open VISA SESSION out of the while loop or it is an error for EXCELLENT LABVIEW VI and I must open and close VISA SESSION every times I must talk (and set) with instrument? What is the better way?
    Message Edited by Michelle1892773 on 02-22-2010 02:00 PM

    Something like this?
    I do have to say, i don't know what is happening in the false case of yours, but if nothing happens with the 100 that is wired to the shift register, once you enter the true case, the value in the shift register will always be great than "i". You might as well do what I have done then. However, if something does happen with that number in your false case, then keep it the way you have it.
    That being said, why is the condition there to see if it has looped 100 times before doing the visa write??

  • How to force the "Bluetooth Communicat​ions Port" to be one of COM1 to COM8 ports?

    Dear Lenovo Community, Happy Holidays to you all and wish you a great happy new year. Recently purchased a Bluetooth OBDII device and have difficulty making it to work with its provided software on my T61 (running original XP Home). My short story and question/problem is that I can open "My Bluetooth Places" and pair with the OBDII device as an "OBDII SPP Dev", but my T61 assigns serial port COM19 to it. The OBDII software which came with the device only can let user set to one of the COM1 to COM8 ports and in the properties of Bluetooth pairing, there is no way that I can select which COM port to use. I looked at the Device Manager and I do see these COM port assignments: COM4,5,6,7: Sierra Wireless (the HSDA modem in the laptop which I have never used BTW) COM 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17: Bluetooth Serial Port COM 18, 19: Bluetooth Communications Port and I don't see anything for COM1,2,3, and 8 My question is how to force the computer/OS to assign one of the COM1 to COM8 ports to my device upon pairing? Can I disable the Sierra Wireless model from the COM ports list and hope this will happen? Thanks for your help and inputs beforehand. Regards, AL

    Hi, AL_K
    Have you attempted to change the port number in device manager itself? If you navigate to Device Manager and open the list of Ports, you can right-click on the device you wish to assign a different port number. After right-clicking, click Properties. There should be a tab called Port Settings. In here, you should find a setting to manually assign a port number.
    Good luck, and let me know how it goes,

  • How to implement Modbus Ethernet communicat​ion in Lookout, if we want to simulate the PC as PLC ?

    Problem Description :
    Dear Sir,
    We are doing a project where we are using Lookout with
    Front end Modicon PLC. The communication is by
    Ethernet, using Modbus.
    Since the installation is at a distant place, we wanted
    to use another PC (running Lookout) to simulate the
    PLC. For this, we tried to communicate
    a: the server Lookout PC running Modbus Ethernet mode of
    Modbus object as Master
    b: with another PC (for simulating the PLC) running
    Modbus Slave
    We did not get any communication. (we have given the
    details of what we have done, at the end of this email)
    We also tried connecting the above 2 PC's as
    a: the server Lookout PC running Modbus Serial mode of
    Modbus object as Master
    b: with another PC (for simulating the PLC) running
    Modbus Slave object
    Again we did not get any communication.
    If instead of PC (b) we connect the Modbus simulator to
    PC (a), there is no problem in communicating
    Please let us know how to go about establishing the
    communication between 2 PC's using Modbus serial,
    and Modbus Ethernet. A detailed step by step procedure
    would help us a lot.
    Thanking you
    Warm Regards
    Raja Mahbubani
    Procedure of our trial with ethernet.
    This is what we have done in detail.
    On PC A:
    We created an object (Pot) and connected it to
    the modbus data member of the modbus object say 40001. In the
    properties of the modbus object we selected modbus ethernet mode
    of communication and in the IP address field we wrote the IP
    address of the machine B to which we are trying to communicate
    i.e. 152.63.50.2.
    On PC B: we tried the following two methods
    Trial 1 : We created a modbus slave object and
    inserted an expression for the same data memeber to which the
    object was connected hoping to get the value of the pot of machine
    A on machine B.
    Trial 2 : We created a modbus object on machine B and we wrote
    the IP address of machine A and inserted an expression for the
    same datamemeber to which the object was connected hoping to get
    the value of the pot of machine A on machine B.

    The ModbusSlave which comes with Lookout currently supports only Serial communication. So, you cannot use Ethernet between your two PCs. At least not with Modbus Master-Slave setup (if you must speak Ethernet between the two PCs, IPASCII object lets you do that, but then you'll need to implement your own protocol).
    Since all you want to do is simulate a Modbus PLC on a PC, you can use the Serial mode of communication for now. And later on just modify the Object in your Server Lookout to use the Ethernet mode.
    For setting up a Serial Modbus Slave, use a null-modem cable between the two PCs (lines 2 and 3 are swapped). On your PC 'B,' create the Modbus Slave object with the right COM port for that PC. And on your PC 'A' create the regular Modbus Object as if you w
    ere connecting to the Modbus Simulator box. The only difference here is the cable. The simulator box uses a straight-through cable whereas the Slave needs a null-modem cable.
    Hope this helps.

  • 6500a e710 a-f - Scanner Communicat​ion Error Windows 8.1

    We have been experiencing issues with scanning whilst connected via USB, using the HP Scan software. The software returns an error message saying scanner communication cannot be established, half way through scanning. Then HPScan.exe fails to load again. The printer just says “scanning cancelled” on its display.
    This is only effecting one model of PC and that is a HP 8300 Ultra-Slim PC.
    We are running Windows 8.1 64 bit from an image install. However, I have tested this with a fresh Windows 8.1 retail installation and get the same problem.
    We have tried various actions to fix this:
     - Various accounts, admin accounts, domain admin accounts, local accounts etc.
     - Uninstall and reinstall. Basic and Full driver packages including the latest versions
     - Removed all other HP software from PC including registry keys
    - Used built in Windows 8 scan software with basic driver
     - All USB ports tested including 2.0, 3.0 and powered / non-powered
     - Replaced cables
     - Re-isntalled USB bus drivers for 8300
     - Followed the print/scan doctor which shows a driver error - scandriver unable to communicate with product
     - Run HPScan in compatibility mode for 7/XP
     - Updated firmware on printer
     - Installed latest Windows Updates
     - Checked WIA service and dependencies are running
     - Semi and Full factory resets on Printer
     - Shell hardware detection service set to manual
     - We have replaced the printer for an affected user - same issue
     - Also replaced PC for an affected user - same issue.
     - Updated PC BIOS
    I have tested connecting the printer to the router with a network cable and then installing printer as a networked device rather than USB and then the hpscan.exe works. So this is only an issue with USB (though it wouldnt be practical to try and talk 200+ users through networking their printer).
    As you can see, we have tried almost everything. Interestingly we havent been able to replicate this issue in one of our main offices - despite collecting the same PC and Printer from an estate and bringing it back to an office.
    We have also sent out a working PC and Printer combo to an affected estate office and it has not worked there.
    Our Estate Offices connected via an ADSL Router and "My Documents" are re-directed to a network location. Could a failure in accessing this network location cause the problems? I have tested connectivity to network store from PC and it accesses the files fine.
    Any solutions would be greatly received, I have spoken to HP After Sales support but not received an working solution yet.

    Greetings, @Scammell29
    I have read through your post and have very ideas left for you, as you've tried quite the load of troubleshooting!
    I am thinking the issue could be power related, so try a power reset and plug the printer in directly to the wall outlet. Avoid power bars, surge protectors, etc. Just a direct plug in to the wall to test the power. Afterwards, see if you still receive the communication error.
    If the issue continues, next try a disk cleanup, the instructions are included in this guide: A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning for HP Officejet 650...
    If the error still persists, perform a Clean Boot and restart the PC and then disable the Firewall and Anti-Virus scanners.
    Please let me know the results!
    Good luck

  • Hp 5310 to mac wireless disconnect​ion using aol huawei echolife hg532 router

    I have just bought the HP Photosmart 5510 B111a as my original HP printer was not compatible with the LION 10.7.2 Mac OS
    The problem im having is that im unable to maintain a connection to my new printer. I have installed the full and latest Software and drivers from HP, I have up-dated my MAC from Apple site but so everything is as it should be.
    I spoke to HP on the phone and was advised to use the diagnostic tool but this is only for windows OS so this wouldn't work.
    So i am begging for a solution - 
    Everytime i go through the set up procedure it works wirelessly  for the maximum of one print then the next time i try to print (1 MINUTE LATER) It says unable to find printer. I have checked the settings on the printer and it says connected with the correct network name as does the Mac. Im using an AOL Router HUAWEI Echolife HG532.
    It works fine if connected with the USB cable
    If i swap the router to a Belkin router it works fine wirelessly / eprint etc but other wireless devices don't.
    I really want to sort out the Echolife issue. AOL Have said the issue is with the printer but I'm far from convinced as the Belkin works.
    I hope someone can help - Please - Neil

    Hi There,
    I have just read another forum and some one has had the same problems as me, the following is where i am athe the minute and what i type in response to him - still not sure though .....
    HI John,
    New to the conversation but im having exactly the same problems you have been encountering ! Im ready to through my Mac, router and printer out of the window, thats if the wife doesnt do it for me as shes sick of me going on about it.
    Anyway, I have just bought the printer following a OS Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion and this is where i thought the problems started. I have been sent an new router from AOL following the usual frustrating repetable conversations and downloaded the HP 10.72 software but nearly every time i get to the disconnect the USB I get the same fault as you - unable to detect printer. If i go into my router 192.168.1.1. settings and change the channel then open  the HP utility page it will open ok and show my supply staus etc but if you close it then re-open, it is unable to find the printer
    Everything else seems to work fine, like the ePrint, the printer connects to the internet proving the printer is connected to my network but thats it......!!!!
    Basically what im asking is, can you tell me what and where from did you download the fixes Apple helped you with...
    Please help or should i also ring Apple ?
    Best regards

  • Serial communicat​ion does not work in an executable​.

    I have created a vi that communicates with a serial device. It works fine on the computer that it was creatd on. I then created an application and then built an installer to put it on another machine. The second machine does not have LV 2009 on it. Once installed on the machine the vi does not work. When it runs on the computer with LV 2009 the the com port control is a pull down, and it lists all comports on the computer and then you select the one you want to connect with. The computer that the vi is installed on does not list the available com ports. This leads me to believe that there is no serial comms support in the installable version. What do I do now?? I noticed that you can add "Additional Installers" when you build the installer and one of them is NI-Serial 3.4. I try to add this and a message said that it had to get, so I didn't use it thinking it was more than I needed and that standard com port driver would be included. Am I wrong here or am I missing something else?? All help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi  at all!!
    I'm new in NI forum.
    I have one similar problem. My VI communicate with external device on serial port. The VI work very well, but when I create executable (.exe) file with Labview application builder (on Labview 2010) the .exe don't use serial port!!! The executable run perfectly (nothing error or warning by the application builder), but the serial data on selected COM port  isn't send!!! Also on the PC where I developed the VI!!!
    What do you mean by your last sentence?  Are you trying to say that you can't run your executable even on the same computer on which you developed the application?  If so, was LabVIEW open when you tried to run it?  Try quitting LabVIEW; if you had previously run your VI and didn't close the serial port, LabVIEW might have kept it open, which would prevent the executable from accessing it.  If the executable won't run on the development machine it's unlikely to be resolved by installing VISA since you need that installed for the VI to work properly in the development environment.  Do you have any error handling in your code that would indicate if an error occurred after trying to write to the serial port (an indicator on the front panel, or a call to Simple Error Handler)?

  • Problem with serial communicat​ion PLEASE HELP

    Hello everybody !
    I'd like to ask You for some feedback on my wierdo problem that I got with my program.
    I have built a device that detects changes in magnetic field. It is used for detecting vehicles passing it on a highway. Generally the main components communicate with each other by RS-485 protocol, but I would like to connect the device to a PC. To do so I am using a RS-232 protocol (I have a RS485=RS232 hardware converter).
    Now, I made the program (even two), which generally works, BUT some wierd things are going on sometimes; it happens that I have a problem to get a communication (after that, resetting the device by un-powering it helps, sometimes I have to restart the PC as well) but overall it happens quite not so often. The project itself is for passing one of my subject on the university - so I have to run the whole thing over there, here comes another problem : the program did not work on all of the bunch of PC's that are there. Same thing happens on my notebook. The effect of 'non working' is : I am recieving same data packet that is beeing sent... BTW : notebook does not have a RS232 port and I am using a USB-RS232 calbe converter (to count it out from the reason of problems I have checked it on my main PC and it works almost fine - almost because ocasionally I am getting the same sympthomps as I mentioned before ).
    Other problem is, when it works, that I am loosing communication for couple of hundreds of miliseconds and then it comes back to normal (i can see it on the osciloscope).
    I alredy looked for some answears here and there, and I found some suggestions about using 'buffer cleaning method', unfortunatelly I kinda do not know how to do it, and might that help anyways ?
    I also thought about using VISA drivers, but I am having trouble with it as well - the damn thing just does not work.
    My very bling guess is that everyting that I am expierencing is about using the communication protocol and seting it right. I am attaching both of the programs, PLEASE anyone pretty pretty help I totally ran out of ideas and knowledge and day after day I am turning it on and off on my PC and notebook hoping some miracle will occour ... 
    Many many thanks in advance !
      Best regards

    P.S. the program is very unfinished (man things are just put in), the main thing I am struggling now is getting, and setting the communication protocol right.

    The biggest problem I see is in the sequence:
    Write out a string.
    Wait 50 mSec.
    Ask how many bytes have been received.
    Read that many bytes.
    Can you guarantee that the data can make a round trip in 50 mSec?
    You should know that the SERIAL PORT WRITE completes NOT when the data has been sent out the port, but when it has been BUFFERED for sending. In other words it returns and starts the timer BEFORE it is actually sent.
    Also, given that there are 232 -> 485 --> USB conversions involved in both directions, I would bet that you are sometimes not allowing enough time for the data to get back.
    If you can control the protocol of what gets sent back, I would change your receiving logic. I think you should check for a carriage return or some other delimiter, and not react until you get that character (or until a reasonable timeout expires).
    In other words, try synchronizing the two ends. Something like:
    N = Get # bytes at port
    Read N bytes from port (flush any characters waiting).
    Write out command string.
    TimeLimit = NOW + 1000 mSec (or whatever)
    S = ''; (Working string)
    repeat
    N = #Bytes at Port
    If N > 0
    S = S + Read N Bytes
    Found = Search String for Delimiter
    until Found or (Now > TimeLimit)
    If Found, parse string S
    You are also re-initializing the port (SERIAL PORT INIT) every time thru the outer loop - that's unnecessary.
