Firewall ports?

Yeah made me jump only annoying part is I thought it was a you need to evacuate type alert so put me on edge. just got second too forgot I had 2 sims!

You might also need to enable trans over non supported mode on the switch can’t remember the exact command when using non hp transceivers ignore me after re-reading your post!

We also screen record our testing as an additional layer of evidence.

This is a question for those who have setup the API in Net2 6.7 onwards, did you find just enabling the service in preparation for API install cause the client to freeze and then when the API was setup by third party everything was ok? I just did some initial setup work on the API and I get the freeze behaviour just waiting on third parties. (Paxton got the same behaviour but didn't really confirm if the behaviour was because no third party was installed yet)

Exactly this I want to know exactly where the backup is. Tape library and backup is in another part of the school. Tapes then go to another building we own down the road in a fire proof safe.

I think its the date the change you have just made take effect. not the date you want it to start redirecting.

We changed ours friday and it reverted over the weekend, not sure why yours hasn't. Did you change the date? if so I think it will revert on that date.

@FragglePete If your school allows you to prepay via invoice before goods then you can just use that option. takes a little longer as a process as they confirm payment before sending.

We have both. One thing I like about the Kyocera is they have a design that has less parts. 15 Kyoceras here vs 2 machines in repro and the engineers seem to be on site less from Kyocera. When they are here it seems to take less time to replace parts and get them working again. We do like both companies and will probably keep it as 2 separate manufacturers going forward as we like the reduced risk it gives us with less reliance on one companies supply chain.

Weird thing it only effects certain network shares and not all. We have 3 schools and staff and student start menus at each but only 2.

Can confirm this setting has fixed it here.

Seen the issue here weirdly only happening on Staff at our primary and students at the college, 6th form seems fine.

I would check out your top domains on smoothwall. Resource usage on the dashboard and the real time network traffic on the smoothwall and see if there is just a large number of hungry clients.

We rolled out to students wasn’t too bad it’s best done with those who know the kids in my opinion. Get SLT up to speed, then they train the form tutors each year. then setup a mini help point each tutor session near their rooms for those who are having issues the teachers can’t resolve. we basically said to the year 11s they could have their phones out for the explicit thing only and they were generally pretty good.

Yup having issues with syncing, it’s been intermittent on cpomsfor most of Jan. but seems to have totally given up since middle of last week.

Just to add you can brick a device if you apply the reg key to a device that hasn’t got a compatible bios. It will boot but would lock up within 5 minutes when it tries to update the cert. (this was on a dell 3040)

I don't think its something you can "bodge" its up there with the passport photo verification process in the DfE's eyes.

We have been working out how best to do this this morning and come to the conclusion that it might be that this is something a form teacher might have to do. I've also had a look at the account recovery process and its tied to your mobile telephone! so many issues with this....

Just be aware the DFE seem to have sent an email out this morning to heads.

I love a good chucky watch. I'd never buy a smart watch. Current watch I know when its not on my wrist thats for sure! Precisionist Stainless Steel Black and Blue Chronograph

looks like its an issue with the Front End as our Third-party Connection still works via the VPN.

They are aware but as alwys no updates on the support portal!

I agree @jaydee multiple times its after a holiday/large upgrade.
