Hi everyone, So I have a Fujitsu IX500 Scansnap document scanner. Great for OCR, scanning bills and various administrative things. It does OCR and it's fast too. But now I'm looking for something that does not seem to exist. A document scanner that makes a superior quality scans so that when...

Does he have a separate stand-alone DHCP server? If not, most routers I've worked with can just tie a DHCP pool to their routed VLAN interface. No need for IP helper then.

I actually have both brands. A Routerboard 450G and an Edgerouter Lite. I did not go for Wifi on the Mikrotik as it seems a bit underperforming and unstable. I have not tested this myself but gathered this from posts in their forum. Mikrotik has some more features and a better Gui, called...

Believe it or not, that is the price in most Euro countries. That is often the reason why we import stuff from the US. But I needed it fast so some ripping off was to be expected. I'm still a bit weary about that claim regarding Cat5e doing 10 gigabit. Any reputable source?

VLAN stuff is mostly about 2 things: 1. create the VLAN. 2. add ports to it. When a port is in more than 1 VLAN it is a trunk (tagged) port. Otherwise it is an access (untagged) port. Often the hardest part is figuring out how each brand names the options above. As a bonus you can perform...

Except 10 gigabit will probably not work over Cat5e. Neither will 4K video. I paid, roughly, 100 dollar for 100 metres of Belden Cat6 I'm talking about the in wall stuff. Still have the Cat6a shielded patch cords I have to exchange:-)

A L2 switch cannot route. So you are understanding me correctly. Access/untagged ports should (exceptions exist) be in one VLAN only. For DHCP, you will need to create a trunk/ tagged port between router and switch and also create a DHCP server for VLAN10. This requires your router to...

You should make sure that the test ports are ONLY in VLAN10. Note that every VLAN should (logically) correspond with an IP subnet. Also check whether your switch is routing between VLANS by default (is your HP a L3 switch or not?)

I went with Cat6 in wall as Cat6a cable is very hard to come by apparently. At least not when you requires less than 300+ metres. I chose Belden Cat6 U/UTP as a good brand will likely help. I'm awaiting delivery now. My patch panel and keystones are rated Cat6a so that should not pose an issue.

I live in Europe where it appears to be more common to go shielded all the way and make it thus hard to get unshielded patch cords. I'm bothering some large distributors to please sell me some ^^ What is your opinion on this article. For the uninitiated they present a good case:)...

Leaving the debat between cat5e, cat6 and cat6a alone, I've been googling the effect of not grounding a shielded cable or hours on end and I can find both 'evidence' that not grounding: - Will cause the shielded cable to pick up significantly more noise, inducing it into the twisted pairs...

I'd also use it for HDMI means so Cat6a might be useful in the feature. I can't however unground everything. Things like a TV and some devices have a 3 prong plug. So those devices are grounded at the source, which would then also ground the shielded cable. But what this does for the remaining...

No no it is definitely not shielded by definition. Don't need shielded at all. It it just hard to find unshielded patch cable.

I've just realized a potential issue. I've bought Cat6a patch panels and keystones and I'm going to connect it all using U/UTP in wall cable. However, it appears it is quite hard to find UNshielded Cat6a patch cables so I just bought what the store had. The cables say SSTP which is the same...

I've learned more than I ever knew lol. I'n not native English so w/e meant nothing to me haha. Here, at work, each rack is also grounded by a separate cable going to a copper bar (5 cm wide) running the height of each cabinet. The rack door is grounded separately to that bar. All rack ground...
