@art_of_shred you need to have the process started over.

Original phone on original port and verify behavior.

Original phone on new port and verify behavior.

We had the original phone on the original port that was malfunctioning as described in the OP. We replaced the phone and got the same result. The new phone, which had the same exact behavior as the original (so it's not the phone) was moved to another port and had the same issue plus the lack of audio on the other end of a call.

I'm working... which is why I don't have the ability to reply to posts here all day long!

No feedback yet.

Did it work?

Not confirmed yet, but I'll post when I know.

Thanks

From what I can tell, yes it worked. That's both the no sleep and no login password required.

This is just a project. What's the line? "Not my circus, not my monkeys"?

I think it goes "not my circus, not my Sonicwall".

I talked about pricing at this range recently.

If you have two DCs I'm not sure why you wouldn't setup DHCP failover it's a 5min setup. You already have DNS on both so why not protect from issues?

All of ours are loadbalanced/failover

@stacksofplates said in What is the general opinion of non-standard business card formats?:

Mine that I made for my stuff were the traditional rectangle, but were die cut on 3 corners.

My friend worked at an IT company that changed their business card like this - he instantly made a joke, See, we'll cut three out of four corners to get the job done - yeah.. they weren't to pleased.

Still working on Windows 3.11 for Workgroups... I'd suggest a downgrade.

@Dashrender said in Tracking the origination of a shadow copy:

I suppose you could easy enough with an agent, thinking backups here.

Precisely. As the origination is the same machine and not the backup device, I guess that answers that.

It's all racked, I hear. Can't wait till we get it all fired up!

Well It's your fault... no Meatloaf fixin's... so have to skip it... but hmmmm... Bacon.

How the crap is that MY fault??? By "no fixin's" I assume you mean you have no bacon. If you have no meatloaf, it's still on.

Gone are the days when you could go into CompUSA and pick up a part like this, unless you guys have a few cards around the office or have a few connections to get equipment to set this up...

Seems like a few more days before this'll be up.

Especially since it is a holiday week.

Nahh, Just order them off Amazon with Prime.

@Minion-Queen said:

@IRJ Yes the answer is yes.....

Sigh!

All done. Thanks, guys! I am still learning using DC's, in case that wasn't obvious. 😛

If you have the dough to spend, Aerohive is really good stuff. Maybe I just like the platform better, but I see now that UBNT has upgraded UniFi, so I might need to thoroughly check it out before I commit to that statement. I just installed the new UniFi tonight because I saw this topic and wanted to check my config before commenting at all. If you want to do it on a budget, but not compromise the quality of the hardware then id go with the UBNT AP like @scottalanmiller suggested. Also I dont really bother with AC at this point because hardly any of my devices support it anyway, and I don't need those transfer speeds.

Keep in mind however ( not that this is a problem on my home network ) I think I recall reading some restrictions on those UBNT AP's. There was and may still be a hard limit of 127 devices per radio ( 127 @ 2.4 and 127 @ 5). In the forums people commented on a soft limit of 32 devices per AP, but I cannot attest to that having any accuracy. I don't know if you still need to configure wLAN groups for ZH (Zero Hand-off) to work, but it used to be that way for sure. Also there was a bug if you had the heartbeat checkbox enabled on the AP, MAC computers would randomly disconnect.

As far as switches go I really dont mind using inline adapters and barrel plugs with ac adapters. Id rather see one inline adapter fail than an entire POE switch, personally. This is really something you need to evaluate yourself.

I dont particularly like using Out-of-the-Box guest network configuration on UBNT equipment. My preference is to configure my own vLAN's and firewall rules. Last I knew you could have 4 SSID per AP, so I configure three. One for the managed network devices, one of personal devices and one for guests. Each SSID can be tied to a vLAN ID and you can introduce bandwidth policing at the SSID level. In my case, the managed network would be uncapped, the personal devices would have a minor cap, and guest networking would be "usable for general purposes". In the firewall I would isolate all three networks and block communication between them.

Anyway... that is my experience with these things. Hope at least one thing I mentioned helps you.

thx

awww Inbound doesn't have this limit. even better!

Huh? The trunk being used for inbound calls on my system is VoicePulse and it has an 8 concurrent call limit. The outbound trunk is VoIP.ms which is soft capped at 25, and there are also 2 IAX2 trunks connecting to other PBX systems. Those systems have no caps

Clearly I'm just off today, ignore me.

I do it all the time. this forum seems to derail threads pretty quickly. the dude two above me is a pro at it.

@art_of_shred said:

Thanks for the help, especially Chad. I doesn't seem very intuitive that you can take a brand new device out of the box, install it, connect it to the (very basic) network, download the controller, see that the controller sees it on the network, see the solid LED display on the device that says it's working properly on the network, and then be required to reset it to factory settings to get it to automatically work perfectly. What about the settings was not "factory" when I took it out of the box 5 minutes ago???

Likely a returned unit.. Maybe a QC unit that didn't get reset after testing.

Didn't want people to get the wrong idea about how I know that.

Maybe you spend the weekends like I spent my weekends in my 20s, when I was thin and reckless.

Nope. Not at all. The only reason I'm down there is for filming or running sound for concerts. We filmed a movie about a police officer injured in Roanoke and we walked around for a lot of it, and filmed some night scenes that's how I know there are a ton there.

Dilbert is a great comic, but if all I had was the show I would never have been a fan. It mostly annoys me. And the voices and attitudes are way better in my head than the ones they picked for the show. Terrible voice-casting.

That's how I felt. I love the strip, hate the show. I love the books too, at least the first two (Principle and Future) which are really core business books. The later books lacked focus.
