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...

What is a w/e panel? I only need 8 cables at most plus 4 for expansion. I am mostly worried about the need to ground it or not now. Anyone know why or when this is required?

Agree cables are different spec. No doubt about that as I can even find the spec. But I see many places sell Ca6 keystones to be used with Cat6a cables. Cat6a (mostly) has a different wire gauge to set it apart from Cat5e and Cat6. Although Panduit has Cat6a cable with 26 AWG for runs up to 70m...

Nah the space is really tight. Would anyone happen to know whether cat6a keystones are the same as cat6 keystones? Or is there also a difference? I don't have a ground bar me thinks. Do I just ground it to the electricity ground?

Would this be any good http://www.digitus.info/en/products/professional-network/patch-panels/desktop/desktop-cat-6-class-e-patch-panel-shielded-dn-91608sd/section/prof/ or this...

Thanks everyone. Hmm I do like modular as then I can replace parts I might break.

On the website try the dashes. And did you update the port forward to point to .254 instead of .2? Do try a port higher than 1024. Some ISP's tend to block the ports lower than 1024 I don't mind to keep trying if you are up to it. I also would not mind trying to set it up for you although I...

Nice, thanks Jeff, I was having a hard time figuring out how to secure a patch panel without a rack. So a modular patch panel allows you to add/replace keystone jacks as required. Sorry, I'm still confused. A jack = a keystone. Correct? What is so bad about modular patch panels then...

12, not rack mount (no space for a rack) and what is an 89B bracket (is it 89D?). As far as I can tell, it is to wall mount the patch panel vs rack mount? But...what is the connection with modular vs keystone patch panels?

As I'm deciding on a new patch panel, I've read the advice NOT to use keystone patch panel. I thought a keystone patch panel = modular patch panel but now I'm not too sure. Anyone used both?

I agree with both replies. Perhaps you ought to check the installed version to see whether it is vulnerable. Gives you peace of mind, at least:-)

Some stuff I can think of: - Did you use the correct MAC format with "-" symbols between 2 subsequent hexadecimal numbers? For instance: 55-12-96-F4-6C-B4 - Did you put 255.255.255.255 as your Subnet Mask? And pardon me, the website I linked has such a packet monitor too! It is very handy to...

Let us take it one step back as we are getting a bit lost. We can worry about the VPN and security later:-) I've PM'd you with a website that will send a good legit WOL-packet over the WAN. Configure your router with IP subnet directed broadcast. So forward port 9 to 192.168.1.255 as per your...

No, it is not always .255. It depends on your subnet mask. You are using a /24? That means that 192.168.1 is the fixed part. The last number can go from 1 to 255, 192.168.1.255 being the broadcast address for that subnet. 192.168.1.0 is called the network address. I won't go into details here...

I see you did it with a subnet directed broadcast (.255 indicates the subnet broadcast address). In most routers this is blocked. Just so you know this working is rather an exception on consumer gear. You can select any port you want to forward. I would even suggest to change it to something...

I still have the config on a DDWRT router I mange for somebody. IF above does not work I'll check it out for you. The problems with WakeOnWan is (if BIOS and Windows network adapter settings are ok as you say) are usually: 1) Does not work over Wifi (unless specific drivers) 2) There has been...

You could always flash it with alternative firmware. It might brick it so proceed carefully.

I have a few suggestions still, although it is a weird problem. I agree. 1)Are you able to use Wireshark to investigate whether there might be a problem (TCP retransmissions)? 2)I am thinking it might be a speed or duplex negotiation problem. Assuming your desktop is gigabit, negotiation...

If space were not very limited, I'd put a mini-rack with patch panel but not that fortunate. I don't even have pets that can play with the cables :-) That said, I'm probably going with the keystones unless I have to make tight turns with the solid cable. This system looks pretty slick to...

But then I've read and been told it is near impossible to crimp Cat6a to spec and that you should use a keystone instead. I do believe it is allowed, on the other hand, to crimp 1 8P8C on the cable. So 1 keystone is mandatory.

What is the path of the connection to the router when its interface is slow? And using that particular path, which device are you using to access the router? I'd then remove the cable from the device and stick it to another to rule out any computer issues like firewall etc...

Hi all, For Cat5e I did not mind just crimping on 2 8P8C connectors on both ends of a stranded cable. But for Cat6a I want to do the proper thing and use solid wire. If anyone who has done this can help me out a bit: 1) - My plan is to use a wall plate with Cat6a punch down keystones on the...

I'm kind of hung up on that TN logic is the inverse for IPS and MVA when it comes to pixel defects. No chance that has any to do with it? Maybe my assumption that the RED pixel is the faulty one is wrong... Maybe I can hunt down a dead pixel screen at work lol

Everytime I try to do this for someone I get lost at explaining what is happening. I'm using another thread as a guidance as I've lost my own info: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1700892 The problem: As far as I can tell this statement should be correct: (trying to) Explaining it...

It is due to be replaced next time my company orders some hardware. I thought you would like to know you and houkouonchi were spot on

Just had an event again and this time I have more useful info. The hard drive clicks 2 times and then peeps/ squeeks once and then clicks 2 times again...etc etc. I popped it out and then hot plugged it back in and it spins up...Array happy again. Soo...flaky drive?
