There are two RJ45 ports at the back of the Bluetooth Access Point, LAN and Uplink (port with a X sign). If you are connecting via a router, please use a standard RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the LAN port. If you are connecting directly from the ethernet jack on the wall, then you should use a standard RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the Uplink port (or a crossover RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the LAN port).

You may try your own Ethernet cable, but most of the buildings serviced by ResNet are networked using a Cornell-specific wiring standard. This wiring standard is incompatible with many Ethernet cables. If you are using your own Ethernet cable and have any problems, the first thing you must do is stop using your own cable and try the one provided in your room.

With the current adapters you cant, the USB modem is the DSL equivalent of a WinModem and requires some processor power to perform the modem functions and convert the ATM data into TCP/IP for presentation to the PC. There is a Draytek device however which can effetively act as a router and presents ethernet to the user side. See details here.

The access point supports PAN profile, which is not one of the profiles supported by the mobile phone. In the other words, you can't use the mobile phone on the access point. Please make sure that your Bluetooth software supports the PAN profile. Please ask your USB/PCMCIA/CF Bluetooth dongle/card vendor for details.

No, neither ResNet nor Campus Life provide cables longer than 25 feet in length, nor do we supply couplers to join two cables together to create a longer cable run. There are two main reasons for this. First, this is a safety issue. Exposed cabling greater than 25 feet in length is considered a hazard and a safety risk and is not supplied for this reason.

No. Beginning as of August 2005, ResNet cables will provided as part of the room inventory, rather than being distributed individually each year. As a result of provisioning and tracking cables as part of room inventory, shorter cables will no longer be provided.

If you choose to direct purchase through Sheridan you will need to purchase a network (Ethernet) cable when you purchase your laptop.

Yes, bring a Category 5 Ethernet cable if you have one. You may also purchase a 25-foot cable for $10 when you arrive on campus.

Unfortunately DME32 does not have a function to communicate directly via either Cat5 or 10base/100base. However, DME32 can communicate via RS232C to PC.

Probably. Any wireless receiver supporting the industry standard 802.11b or 802.11g protocols should work. However, in rare cases, we have found wireless receivers which had compatibility issues with the computer upon which it was installed.

Theoretically, it's 254. But it depends on the environment. Address numbers 0-255 are assigned for private use, but 0 and 255 are assigned as special numbers, thus, 254 addresses are liquid addresses private users can use. Practically speaking, for communication efficiency, 20-30 PCs can be connected to one access point. On the safe side, 10 PCs per access point is a good number.

No. Standard Ethernet cables do not have the necessary bandwidth properties for transmitting high-grade video over long distances. Because the actual usage purpose of UTP cables is to transfer digital data, the cable specifications are optimised for this use.

BaseTX devices to the switch always limit the cable distance to 100 meters (328 ft) as defined by IEEE specification.

Ethernet, also called CAT-5, RJ-45, or 10-Base T, is the type of cable used to connect computers to the Georgetown network. Ethernet looks like a phone cable but with larger connectors at each end and a fatter cable. You cannot use telephone cable to connect to the Georgetown network.

You need an RJ45 cable with connectors on both ends. You may purchase a 14' cable from SATS in the West Building or at one of the local computer stores. Students who reside off campus can obtain internet connectivity via a modem through an outside Internet Service Provider (ISP) or through a service provided by the University called Merit or MichNet. The charge for MichNet service is $40 a semester or $100 for a year.

No, the type of adapter on Microsoft's Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is suitable only for mouse and keyboard connectivity. Additional information about this type of Bluetooth adapter (i.e., TDK Systems' USB Bluetooth Adaptor) is available at http://www.tdksystems.com (follow the links to "products," Bluetooth).

Most computer come with an integrated Ethernet card. If your computer does not have one previously installed, you can buy an Ethernet card and RJ45 network cable from the University Bookstore or from most other computer retail stores.

If you are accessing a CD-ROM on a network using Novell Netware, you need to add the following line to your NET.CFG file: Failure to do so will keep EXTRACT from reading files on the networked CD-ROM, yeilding error messages like

At this time we would recommend the certified Cat 5e or the special Cat 5 ENH offered by the manufacturer we use. We feel these cables offer the security of conforming to a ratified standard, while also leaving the needed room for growth towards Gigabit Ethernet applications. Having Cat 5/5e installed for both your data and phones offers you the flexibility to use your phone jacks as network jacks in the future (assuming you have the cables terminated onto a patch panel).

There are several methods for computer connection, but it appears that Ethernet 10BaseT is emerging as the most predominant method. Although it probably would be cheaper to produce the cable modem as an internal card for the computer, this would require different printed-circuit cards for different kinds of computers, and additionally would make the demarcation between cable network and the subscriber's computer too fuzzy.

PC/104 systems with multiple processors or peripherals that have Ethernet interfaces can use a PC/104 Ethernet switch or hub board to be networked together. Fast Ethernet and 10BaseT switches or hubs are available with auto-MDI-MDIX network installation and up to five auto-configurable 10/100 transceiver ports. Ethernet connections are made through either onboard RJ-45 jacks or via right-angle Molex connectors that can be used to mount RJ-45 jacks in a faceplate, endcap or enclosure.

Sure. Just install TCP/IP (if you’re not using it already), set your IP addresses, and your all set to talk to your EtherTRAK Ethernet I/O modules. Most Ethernet networks can run multiple protocols (i.e. NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, etc.) all at the same time.

Sure. Just install TCP/IP (if you’re not using it already), set your IP addresses, and your all set to talk to your SIXTRAK stations. Most Ethernet networks can run multiple protocols (i.e. NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, etc.) all at the same time.

Again no (though see earlier sections for other ways to share files between PCs and Acorn machines). Work is ongoing to add support for AUN to Linux, both over Ethernet and (when running on suitable hardware) native Econet, but there is no usable implementation yet. All Acorn computers since the Master have had their Econet station number stored in the first byte of CMOS RAM. If the battery goes flat, or you reset the CMOS RAM, it will get cleared to zero - this isn't a legal station number.

But since the PIN request feature is disabled in the Billionton Bluetooth software, you won't be asked to type it. However, if you try to connect to the Bluetooth Access Point with a non-Billionton BT software and if the "Secure Connection" feature is enabled in them, then you might be prompted with the PIN. This BT AP is set without a PIN code by default and the authentication feature for Network Access is turned off in our BT software (that is installed on the computer system).

Yes. The M275 wireless card can connect to 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks. It cannot connect to 802.11a networks though. Please use the Intel Pro wireless software to set up your other wireless environments. Using the built-in Windows wireless utility can cause problems.

Make sure your router is broadcasting an SSID (wireless network name). If it isn’t you’ll need to manually enter an access point.

This problem is quite common - a lot of people have trouble connecting DSLinux to their AP while everything else works fine. Alas, no one has analysed the problem deeply yet, since none of the people reporting the problem were able to do so themselves and were unable to provide enough information needed for someone else to do so. A packet capture of the DS trying to associate would help. Try to set your AP to 2Mbit/s speed. The DS can only do 2Mbit/s, not more.
