  1. Power over Ethernet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  2. There are a number of POE "standards". Are you sure the camera is 12V on POE? it may have a 12V power input but may well require 48V POE. Rob
  3. Well I gave it a go, 202.... Rob

    Unless the controller specificaly states proper support of SSD then avoid. And I seriously doubt a hybrid is a good idea on a server platform, they are great when they can load the common files used on a personal laptop but if there is a large amount of varied traffic then the cache portion wil be changing rapidly. Rob
  5. Is anyone using PARS connect? Is it any good, is it useable on smart phones or a faf? Cheers Rob
  6. tbh... that actualy makes me fell rather uncomfortable, not something I would normaly say. I was diagnosed RG colour blind at age 10. whilst usualy Red Green is no problem, Green & brown and Blue/purple/lilac/etc are indistinct. My eyechart has only one eye as defective but my brain obviously cant cope.. which is a shame... Mind.... I was in casualty a month or so ago with a massivly swolen white of the eye. I had to read the eye chart and was given near 20:20 despite one eye looking like Mr Stay Puffed not bad at 39 .. Just don't ask me to look at multicolour status LED's as they are rediculousley difficult for colour blind to fathom. TT
  7. not sure If I will actually bother with the exam. I have full hands on knowledge with Everything from A 1760 Router to a 4507 and ASA5520 and fixed config Catalyst Switches, and with Communications manager 6.x 7.x including the Voice gateways on 28xx's .. But to get a job in the field I may need to tick the exam box. Not that there are any Cisco Jobs round here anyway Rob
  8. they should find each other via wi-fi as well as LAN so not sure why yours cant see the controller, and yes I think they do have a con port but never needed to use one. Rob
  9. Unfortunatly your finding out that wireless and portable devices as a solution to whole class I.T. is problematic and once that can be costly to sort out efficiently. Wireless networks are inhernatly less able to support large number of clients , not because of their speed but because of the way in which each client device gets it share of the bandwidth. You reach apoint where devices are trying to send data and just can't. The solution is higher density of access points and reducing their power so the cover smaller more defined areas, traditonal wifi only realy has 3 available non overlapping channels so you have to plan their locations very carefully to avoid overlap. Your Meraki may be inteligent and the AP's sort themself out, if that's the case then a few more AP's strategicaly placed may help. Otherwise you may have to upgrade to a Controller based wireless lan. All the big vendors have something. Meru Meraki Cisco Rukus Xirrus These will either work on a single channel or adjust settings on the AP's automaticaly to work as a WHOLE. None of the above is probably of much help as the solution unfortunatly is to get a couple fo vendors in to do a site survey and propose a solution that will work. and HOLD THEM TO IT! Some guys here have had good success with UNIFI though , and I have used other products from Ubiquiti before. We use Meru, but 80% of our wireless clients are "THIN" so the network load is quite low. Where we got forced to retro deploy 30 Laptops performance is not so great. Rob
  10. undoubtably, giving out stolen dvd's, free copies of playboy, masses of MP3's of new releases, could also draw them in...
  11. I have had first hand experience with Zyxel and they are not the best of the bunch. Given my experience I would put my money in second user cisco, and buy a spare in case of an unlikely failure. We have only had 1 cisco fail in 5 years ( well appart from a pair of dodgy PSU's in a core that must have been a faulty batch) which was replaced under the lifetime warranty. that's out of about 40 devices. 2 HP's failed out of 10. 1 was fixed under warranty, the other was taken out of service as it was not needed. If it was not Cisco or HP, I would step down to Netgear and D-Link. Rob
  12. I found squid easier to use as a reverse proxy, was still a faf though. Rob
  13. Having a laptop at the teadching stations is a little unusual. We have all staff laptops but are lookign at going back to PC's at classdesks and possibly getting shot of the stafftops. Rob
  14. Just to clarify for peeps.. you need a 300GB SCA 3.5" Rob
  15. realy? SATA 2&3 Are compatible with SAS.. Or are you using SCA disks? Rob
  16. Sure for each site, Not a nice quick list though ...
  17. Ahh right, long time since I looked into HAP. My IIS knowledge is not as good as Apache, I assume ( laughs at the thought of microsoft making things easy ) there is some way to list active sites in IIS. Rob
  18. Do you have a ( DDC/XDC ) that's where you can see your farm and the users usign it. Rob
  19. So is the webserver still ok? doing the apache2ctl -S will list the ports that a site is listening on, if it's a secure site you will need to specify https as mentioned above and if it's not 443 then that will have to be specified in the request too. Rob
  20. You should be able to connect a SATA 2 or 3 drive as a stop gap. Rob
  21. Got them fired up yesterday and the config cleared down All good thanks Rob
  22. Do you mean you want your web server and hap server both accessible from the outside world on port 80? on different servers? if so that is not going to work as your port forward on the firewall/router can only forward to one IP. You could use a non standard port for the HAP port forward ( not a bad idea anyway ) say port 81. and port forward that to port 80 on the hap server. is HAP runing on apache? if so run apache2ctl -S to check what sites are set up. Rob
  23. Managed 1067 miles since 5th of June. 730 on my new bike and the rest on an old bone shaker. Fitness has improved dramaticaly. Rob
  24. SPD-SL (540's too costly for me this time round) for me and 078's If they get soaked I put them in a cardboard box with the fan heater blowing into them. TT
  25. wadayaanano? we run 2 sites but we have full server facilities at both sites, there was little saving to make by centralising it all. we run a wan, and share the ISDN30 and broadband link . Rob
