WLan availability question

Hi all,
I'm new to all this stuff and will probably sound a bit thick asking this, but here we go.
I've ordered a Toshiba laptop via a catalogue (couldn't afford to pay down for one) and I'm a bit confused by the term "Wifi".
"WiFi 802.11b/g" is in the description, but does that automatically mean that I can connect to the internet via a router with no cables (apart from the initial setup) or will I need something else to do this?
The reason I ask is that the description on some other Toshiba laptops actually goes as far as to say "wireless enabled".
I phoned the catalogue for a model number, but they couldn't give me one.
I'd greatly appreciate any help on this,
Thanks.

I don't know if this helps, but I just bought a Netgear Super G wireless modem router.

Hi
I assume the notebook has an installed minPCI 802.11b/g WLan card and you will be able to connect this unit to a WLan router.
Some Toshiba notebooks are delivered without a WLan card but there is a possibility for an upgrade. In such case the notebook is WLAN ready.
Of course, many notebooks are delivered also without a WLan card and its also not possible to upgrade it with an internal minPCI WLan card. In such case you should find an info that the WLan is not available on such notebook model.

:D its a big help Now I know that you are an owner of the a Netgear Super G wireless modem router ;)
. Just a joke dude ;)

  • Newbie Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g feature availability question

    Newbie question here. I am new to Oracle 11g and new to this forum. I ran a search on this question and came up empty so hopefully there is a kind and knowlegable soul wo can help.
    I recall in earlier versions of Oracle Enterprise Manager for earlier versions of Oracle there was something called Oracle Enteprise Manager Reporting accessible from the OEM web.
    One of its key features was the ability to make custom "Additional Reports". In our current environment this is installed and works great. I don't know if it was an add on to OEM, or if it was built in. It was built a long time ago and I wasn't arround for that build. All I know is it works and it suits our needs.
    Well we are now trying to build a new Oracle dev box to replace the current dev environment. We would prefer to not lose any existing functionality we have... and if possible not have to reinvent the wheel. The new box has Oracle 11g.
    **Here comes the dumb newbie questions. **
    Does Oracle 11g Enterprise Manager support 9i-style Enterprise Manager Reporting and Custom Reports?
    Is it called that in 11g or has it been renamed to something else?
    Is it it a simple matter of configuration or is it an add on that needs to be installed?
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Wayward Oracle Newbie looking for an Oracle Home

    Oracle 11g does not support 9i-style custom reports. There is a new reporting framework - Information Publisher available in Grid Control 10+ versions. The new reporting framework does support custom reports as well. Click on the Reports tab to access the functionality.

  • Guest wlan design questions

    I need to setup a guest wlan on a single 5508 controller. Currently all of my ap's are in h-reap mode and all in remote buildings connected via a high speed wireless wan.
    The guest network could consist of 500 users in the near future, so i'm wondering what is the best way to configure the guest wlan so I don't have one big broadcast domain across my entire network?

    Ok. I already have my ap's in ap groups (per building) and I have different vlans in each building with the same ssid company wide. I'm doing this via h-reap.
    My question is how do I accomplish the same thing with the guest wlan, but without h-reap. Or do i use h-reap and just setup acl's to block the traffic? But then does web authentication work the same?
    The confusion for me comes in at the controller level with the guest-wlan interface I created having to be attached to a vlan. Is this not needed to do web authentication?
    Thanks,
    Dan.

  • WLAN Basic Questions

    Hello Guys -
    I have a cisco 871w router which i want to use with my existing WLAN AP (A Linksys AP). I know Cisco routers works in AP mode but not sure if they can work in WLAN client mode and join another AP as well ?
    Second questions: Is there any configuration guide which explains the cisco WLAN architecture , i get confused in between Radio interface and other configurations - like what is the purpose of each interface and what is the configurations flow.
    thanks for all your help.

    I havent touched a 871 in a bit, but the terminology, having a AP attach to another AP, if you will is call a workgroup bridge. Here is a good link that talks about WGB. Although i dont think the linksys and the 871 will work together in WGB mode... they may...
    What are you trying to do expand coverage? if so put the same security and ssid on both and you should be ok ...
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps441/products_qanda_item09186a0080094644.shtml#q1
    Specific to your second question, i would recommend reviewing the config guide. That would be a good area to start with ...

  • Timesten high availability question

    I have a case presented here and wanted to know if it is actually possible to implement.
    Let us consider four nodes with timesten (11.2) installed in all of them. A datastore with the same name is created on each of the four servers. Two of these servers are in location A and the other two in location B. Servers in location A have replication defined between them and similarly servers in B have replication defined between them. But note that there is no replication defined between any server in location A with any server in location B.
    The basic idea of this entire setup is to maintain high availability of timesten at any point of time (in case of natural disasters, etc..) irrespective of the location of the servers
    Now, we have oracle software installed in four other systems. Two of these servers are in location A and the other two are in location B. Note that they are not installed on the same box as Timesten.
    Scenario 1:
    Question: Timesten in location A goes down, how is the high availability taken care of?
    Answer: Timesten in the other server in location A should come up and because of the replication process, this will solve the problem.
    Is this correct? I think it is.
    Scenario 2:
    Question: Timesten installed on both the nodes at location A go down, how is high availability taken care of?
    Answer: ?
    Please remember from above that timesten does not have a replication policy defined between any server in location A with any server in location B. The requirement says that we should be able to recover all the latest data that the nodes at location A had, by pulling it from oracle DB at location A and putting it into TT server in location B. I would like to know if it is possible to do this?

    Hello,
    Your approach is correct in designing a Disaster Recovery architecture for TimesTen and Oracle Database. TimesTen supports an Active-Standby pair topology that works well with integrating with the Oracle database within a particular site. However, like for any geographical based replication, it is recommended to configure replication across the WAN using the Oracle Database GoldenGate or Streams technologies in ASYNC mode for better throughput and efficiency. It is also recommended to compress replication traffic across the WAN between the Oracle databases.
    So while using the Oracle Database to replicate transactions across the WAN is the right thing to do (using Streams Replication or GoldenGate between the two Oracle databases (assuming using an Oracle RAC 2-node cluster in each site), you will not be able to guarantee that any transactions in site A has made it to site B. GoldenGate and Streams technologies have the ability to replicate the data bi-directionally. What this means is that when site A recovers, transactions that had been trapped there (either between TimesTen and the Oracle DB or in the Oracle DB transaction logs), will attempt to replicate again to site B, so it is important to set up a conflict detection/resolution approach which is possible to do in either GoldenGate or Streams.
    Note that Oracle Data Guard replication is not supported with TimesTen in such a configuration across the WAN where TimesTen datastores need to be maintained in both sites.
    To fully answer the question, however, we should get into the details of the type of cache group tables that you intend to use in TimesTen. If using TimesTen as just a read-only cache while all inserts/updates happen in the Oracle database, then OracleDB would be regarded as the database of record and it would be used to handles all changes while data changes get auto-refreshed from teh Oracle databases in each site into the respective TimesTen tables.
    If the application will be looking to take advantage of fast writes into TimesTen using AWT (async writethrough cache group tables), then it is recommended to configure those tables to be DYNAMIC AWT tables so that if a failover to site B takes place and the data is not in TimesTen (but it is in the Oracle Database), it will be automatically loaded on demand as needed from the Oracle database in site B. Note however that there are restrictions that exist with DYNAMIC load on demand cache groups that you need to look into to find out whether those would work in your application's case (particularly, load on demand works only if the where clause includes an equality predicate on the primary keys, foreigh keys, or unique indexes, etc...)
    To fully answer your question on non data loss across geographies, you'd have to use Synchronous replication between TimesTen and Oracle using Synchronous Writethrough Cache Groups and SYNC replication in Streams for example between the two geographies. Neither of those configurations are used to my knowledge in the field because they are very non optimal and carry huge response time expense, which slows down replication considerably and affects application response times.
    My assumption also is that the need for the Oracle database is because all data does not fit into memory. If the data does fit into memory, then you could also consider a pure timesten replication across the two sites using an active-standby pair on site A and a read-only subscriber on site B that would be made ACTIVE only in the case of a disaster on site A. Once site B takes over, you can also create an active-standby pair in site B based on the newly elected ACTIVE datastore in that site. In all these cases, it is recommended to use SYNC 2-SAFE replication between TimesTen datastores in the same site and ASYNC replication between the two sites.

  • 5508 Schedule WLAN Availability

    I have a WLAN for guest access that we really want to only be available during normal business hours. Is this possible? We're using web-passthrough now, and would like to keep using it as it's easy for guests.
    Thanks,
       Skymeat

    You have several methods of doing this and it all boils down to skills and confidence. 
    1.  Time-based ACL on the Guest VLAN; 
    2.  EnergyWise to kill the power of the AP; 
    3.  PI/WCS to enable/disable the SSID.  
    All the factors above do NOT factor holidays.  

  • WLAN Profile question

    We happen to have a very large open wireless implementation that uses an external webauth page that authenticates against our RADIUS.  We are also using the Lobby Ambassador for employees that drop in for a week or two at a time, and those users are on the same SSID as everyone else.
    For obvious reasons, we want to secure our SSID with WPA2-802.1x.  When we do this our Lobby Ambassador will no longer function since those temporary usernames and passwords will be in the controllers.
    My question is this:  Is there a way to use WLAN Profiles so that I can have a profile for WPA2 and our Lobby Ambassador under the same SSID?   I understand the Lobby Ambassador users won't be secure and this isn't the best practice, but can it be done?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tim

    Hi Tim
    No, you can’t have different security policy under one SSID. If you enable WPA/WPA2 with 802.1X, all client must use this to authenticate. But there shouldn’t be any problem to have two SSID, one for employees and one for external users, like guests and consultants.

  • E75 Not all WLAN available on Landscape vs Portrai...

    Hi all, Your feedback is highly appreciated to the following problem: E75 brand new with latest firmware  Using WLAN search, when Kbrd is closed (portrait pos.), phone founds an x number of  active Wlans and connects very fast to the specified one. When  the connection  is established there is no problem, but at the time you decide to slide the keyboard and move to landscape, after while, the connection is dropted  and the Wlan search operation starts again. During this search, not all the previously found Wlans are available
    Close (power off) and On the phone again, with the kbrd open (landscape) still in this position wlan founds much less available Wlans comparing to the portrait position (when the kbrd is closed)
    Thanking you in advance for your advices

    Hi tha_gt
    my openion in your issue is that there is no problem in the landscape mode or the keybord slide but the problem is that when you hold the phone transversly , your hand stays covering the antenna of nokia and wlan , so the connection get worse till lastly drops,  you can observe the same for the 3G connection.
    so i advise you to try many places on your phone to know the best way you not affecting the wlan activity and signal reception
    i hope that works and let me know
    Phones I bought from 1st till now:
    3210 / 3310 / 3410 / 6310 / 6600 / 6020 / N72 / E51 / X2-00 / 5310 xpress Music / E90 Communicator

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 High availability Question

    Hello All,
    I am configuring high availability for two prime infrastructure 2.1 servers. I have configured manual HA between the servers. I need to know what will be the configuration in the devices ( switches,routers etc.) for proper working of the HA. For example
    Should we need to configure both the prime infra servers as snmp hosts in the devices??. If we have to when an event happens the switch well unnecessarily send the traps to the secondary even when the primary is alive??. 
    If anyone has a copy of the configuration of such a set up please share it with me. 
    Thanks and Regards
    Shabeeb

    Hi Shabeeb,
    You are correct on that part that unnecessarily devices will  try to send traps to the secondary server if you specify that in the device's config. I don't think it should be a concern , this is expected.
    otherwise you need to configure them later once the PI server fail over to secondary .
    If you have any other doubt ,kindly ask.
    Thanks-

  • Adobe Support Availability Questions and Feedback

    I am currently having an issue with Adobe Shape not saving/syncing to my CC Library, on a Saturday evening here in the U.S.A. I decided to contact Adobe Support. After navigating to this page:
    I clicked on chat as was recommended. I tried to be more specific about Adobe Shape, but when I clicked on choose a different product, it just looped me back to the start. (At the start, though many other mobile apps were available to select, neither Adobe Shape, nor Shape, was available.)
    After waiting for almost an hour in queue, I was informed that I was chatting with the installation dept, and should try chatting again during business hours, as chatting about troubleshooting a specific issue or product is not available during non-business hours.
    If this is indeed the case, then why was Chat recommended to me after I selected troubleshooting? Why is there no mention of this on any of your support pages? Displaying this fact somewhere in your Support pages might greatly shorten your weekend and night queues greatly.
    I'm also wondering, is this is a policy change? I do seem to vaguely recall getting support through chat for specific issues during off hours in the past.

    neat. here is the Adobe SendNow app I've never heard about.
    I'd sure as hell rather be using this than yousendit! I've been paying them 50 bucks a month and don't enjoy the service at all.
    this would be another good thing to have tied into our cloud homepages. you could see your file upload, confirm they got it. blah blah.
    https://www.acrobat.com/sendnow/en/home.html
    I think I'm closer to finding the basecamp thing.... maybe its called echosign... no.. workspaces? yes.
    Adobe workspaces is the BaseCamp of Adobe that I was looking for.

  • N8 and WLAN newbee question(s)

    Hi,
    I'm new to the WLAN field. I don't know how to start a WLAN session. The reason I'm asking because I travel a lot and like to have my music with me. So I installed Spotify on my N8. But Spotify wants to use a WLAN connection. I tried to start one at home but it asks for a password. Where does this password come from? FYI, I do NOT have a wireless network at home. Still using godd old network cables - for security reasons mainly.
    I understand there's a lot to learn so if anyone feels he has the time and strength to work me through this WLAN area, I'd be most grateful and this person is welcome to contact me directly.

    Depending on the setting of wireless network, you need to configure your phone accordingly.  If the WiFi you are connecting does not have any encryption, you can connect directly and have access to internet.  For most home network, it is probably using WEP or WPA with a password.  In this situation, you just need to know the password.  A lot of companies or universities have WPA enterprise encryption.  In this case, you need to set up the username and password in the network in order to have access.  

  • WLAN Design Question

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for some advice on WLAN design best practices.
    I'm "overhauling" my companies current wireless infrastructure and i'm a little unsure how to implement this following "scenario":
    I would like to segment the WLAN into 6 separate blocks (same SSID) each with the capacity to support 100 users. I have 7 subnets (1 spare) in the 10.201.x.x /24 range and have configured the wireless controller (5508) in LAG mode for redundancy.
    My preference would be to use a separate VLAN for each address block (which also represents a physical location) but I would also appreciate more experienced suggetions.
    Thanks guys.   

    Interface group is bundling subnets together. If you want a location to be designated for a vlan then AP Groups is what you need. If you require multiple subnets for a location or other locations, then you still need AP Groups but you need to create Interface groups.
    Example
    Site 1
    AP Group Site1
    WLAN 1 vlan 101
    WLAN 2 vlan 102
    Site 2
    AP Group Site2
    WLAN 1 vlan 201
    WLAN 2 vlan 202
    Site 3
    AP Group Site3
    WLAN 1 vlan 301
    WLAN 2 vlan 302,303 <- interface Group

  • FTTC Help - Cabinet / Availability Question

    Hi Guys,
    I'm not sure if anyone will be able to assist with this as everyone I have spoken to at BT seem to be stumped, however, I am due to speak to someone "technical" tomorrow to see if they have any ideas. Saying this, my current responses don't seem to be getting me anywhere as no one seems to have a clue!
    So I thought I would turn to here as I can see several technical questions, but not seem to be the same as below. 
    I ordered Infinity based on the postcode to where I was moving on the 7th January, as of the 24th January they enabled the phoneline, this was fine, then suddenly didn't seem to work or be possible for any sort of broadband capability. This went on for about a week and then again it was "fine", I was then rang last week (4 weeks after placing my order) and told that BT cannot provide Infinity due to the line not being enabled to do so. This was due to their computer telling them I can't have it, no other reason, as you can imagine, this isn't really what I signed up for and was somewhat annoyed by this "customer service". I have done my own research which i've placed below and no one can say to why the below won't allow me to have the fibre service. Saying that, I've not spoken to anyone techincal yet as I only seem to be able to speak to sales teams / "the offline team".
    My postcode is LS28 6PN. The area is enabled for FTTC, including the cabinet that I am connected to (Cabinet 7 - Pudsey). The cabinet is outside the address where I live, I can see it whilst I type this email.
    The phone number that I have been given also connects to Cabinet 7, Pudsey, however, does not allow me to obtain FTTC.
    Upon moving in, I did many checks including that one properties around the area within 50 meters of where I live, all of which can get Fibre by checking on the BT Wholesale site. (Some are small shops and have phone numbers which state they too connect to Cabinet 7, but are able to get FTTC. 
    Below is the checks I can do using the post code and exact house number:
    Below is using the phone number I have been given last week by BT:
    Below is using a phone number of the property opposite my house, the cabinet (7) is on my side of the road, closer to me than it is to them:
    I've done this on a few properties around where I live and they are all showing the same information, just where we are they won't allow it via the phone number I have been allocated.  
    Upon speaking to my friend, who was an Openreach engineer he suggested I ask that the routing information is checked. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
    As mentioned all of the information given states I should be able to receive the fibre service, the below states 100% and I am about 900 metres from the exchange upon checks. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the phone number I have given by BT upon signing up for the service over 5 weeks ago.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you guys can provide, I'm not sure if anyone will have any ideas but if you do please let me know as I don't seem to be getting anywhere with BT. 
    Apologies for anything I may have missed as this is my first post... Please let me know if you think you can help and if you need any further information from me.
    Cheers,

  • Kodo Availability Questions

    Hi,
    I hsave been able to get only limited information fronm Pre-sales on the following so I thought I would ask here. Or can you refer me to another contact for a potential new customer? Email to [email protected] bounces.
    I have the information that the Enterprise,
    Professional, and Basic editions of Kodo cost respectively:
    Purchase: $5000/ $1850/ $1100 per developer
    Support: 21%/$750/$650 per year per developer
    (1) Does the JPA compoment run on WebSphere 6.1 on Windows (which is Java 5)? I cannot find instructions foe installing it on WAS in the doxumentation. Installing JDO is described but not installing JPA.
    (2) I assume that there is no runtime charge per CPU, just a
    per-developer charge??
    (2) The following press release
    http://www.bea.com/framework.jsp?CNT=pr01721.htm&FP=/content/news_events/press_releases/2006
    says:
    "Additionally, when Apache releases the 1.0 version of OpenJPA, BEA will
    extend its 24x7 local language production support to cover it, providing
    a “one-stop support shop” for IT operations managing heterogeneous
    open-source and Java EE environments."
    and another earlier new article says that the cost of OpenJPA support
    alone would be about $1050 per developer per year.
    Is there an estimated availability date for
    OpenJPA support alone, and am I correct that there is no purchase cost in that case,
    just the support charge?
    Thanks!
