Using an Ethernet Connection for Videoconferencing Using an ethernet connection for videoconferencing Office Of, Information Technology <[email protected]> Tue, Sep 1, 2020 at 10:00 AM Reply-To: [email protected] To: All Students <[email protected]> Cc: All Faculty/Staff <[email protected]> 1.,_ ___ _,.7 ~---- . ------·/- _ -------~ l TECH - , .......1 ....1 _____ ____...1/ ~ ---------~------- --· -----.... ~ We have received some SchoolDude tickets inquiring about internet speed and dropped calls while using Zoom, Google Meet, Go To Meeting and other video conferencing services. For a more reliable and faster internet connection while using video conferencing software, we encourage you to use an ethernet connection. An ethernet connection is a hard wired connection to Coe's internet services (rather than using wifi) through a port in your residence hall or other on campus location. Videoconferencing services use a significant amount of bandwidth and will be faster if you use an ethernet connection (instead of wifi). Regardless of how strong your wifi connection is or where you are located, an ethernet connection will always work better than wifi when using video conferencing services. You can purchase an ethernet cable at the Coe bookstore or online (Amazon is one option). Some devices will require use of an adapter to utilize an ethernet connection. Adapters can be purchased online. If you need an ethernet port turned on in your residence hall or if you have questions about using an ethernet connection, please submit a SchoolDude ticket. Please note that not all ethernet ports are turned on (intentionally) and you may have to submit a request to have a specific port activated.

  • How to Set up IP Camera by Using a Macintosh Computer
    EDIMAX COMPUTER INC. Edimax IP Camera series How to set up IP Camera by using a Macintosh computer 2011 Edimax Computer 3350 Scott Blvd., Building #15 Santa Clara, California 95054, USA Phone 408-496-1105 • Fax 408-980-1530 www.edimax.us How to setup Edimax IP Camera by a Macintosh computer Introduction The most important thing to setup IP Camera is to assign a static IP address so the camera can work with your network. So far the Edimax IP Cam Admin utility is Windows based only and the program can not work for Macintosh computers. Macintosh users can follow this guide to set up Edimax IP camera. Step 1. Understand the IP address used in your network. Have your Macintosh computer operate as usual. Go into System Preferences. In System Preferences, Go to Network. Select the adapter you are using. It could be an Airport card, a third- party Wireless card, or an Ethernet Adapter. Write down the IP address, subnet mask, Router, and DNS server address. We have a usb wireless card in this example. Its IP address 10.0.1.2 told us that the IP addresses used in the network are 10.0.1.x. All the devices in the network have the first three octets the same, but the last octet number must be different. We decide to give our new camera an IP address 10.0.1.100 because no other computer device use 10.0.1.100. We temporarily disconnect the wireless adapter. You can turn off your Airport adapter if you use it to get on Internet.

  • IEEE 802.1Aq Standard, Is a Computer Networking Technology Intended to Simplify the Creation and Configuration of Networks, While Enabling Multipath Routing
    Brought to you by: Brian Miller Yuri Spillman - Specified in the IEEE 802.1aq standard, is a computer networking technology intended to simplify the creation and configuration of networks, while enabling multipath routing. - Link State Protocol - Based on IS-IS -The standard is the replacement for the older spanning tree protocols such as IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.1w, and IEEE 802.1s. These blocked any redundant paths that could result in layer 2(Data Link Layer), whereas IEEE 802.1aq allows all paths to be active with multiple equal cost paths, and provides much larger layer 2 topologies. 802.1aq is an amendment to the "Virtual Bridge Local Area Networks“ and adds Shortest Path Bridging (SPB). Shortest path bridging, which is undergoing IEEE’s standardization process, is meant to replace the spanning tree protocol (STP). STP was created to prevent bridge loops by allowing only one path between network switches or ports. When a network segment goes down, an alternate path is chosen and this process can cause unacceptable delays in a data center network. The ability to use all available physical connectivity, because loop avoidance uses a Control Plane with a global view of network topology Fast restoration of connectivity after failure, again because of Link State routing's global view of network topology Under failure, the property that only directly affected traffic is impacted during restoration; all unaffected traffic just continues Ideas are rejected by IEEE 802.1. accepted by the IETF and the TRILL WG is formed. Whoops, there is a problem. They start 802.1aq for spanning tree based shortest path bridging Whoops, spanning tree doesn’t hack it.

  • Power Over Ethernet
    How To | Power over Ethernet Introduction Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology allowing devices such as IP telephones to receive power over existing LAN cabling. This technical note is in four parts as follows: • PoE Technology • How PoE works • Allied Telesyn PoE implementation • Command Reference What information will you find in this document? The first two parts of this document describe the PoE technology, and the installation and management advantages that PoE can provide. This is followed by an overview of how PoE works, Power Device(PD) discovery, PD classification, and the delivery of power to PD data cables. The third part of this document focuses on Allied Telesyn’s implementation of PoE on the AT-8624PoE switch. The document concludes with a list of configuration and monitoring commands. Which product and software version does this information apply to? The information provided here applies to: • Products: AT8624PoE switch • Software version: 2.6.5 C613-16048-00 REV C www.alliedtelesyn.com PoE Technology Power over Ethernet is a mechanism for supplying power to network devices over the same cabling used to carry network traffic. PoE allows devices that require power, called Powered Devices (PDs), such as IP telephones, wireless LAN Access Points, and network cameras to receive power in addition to data, over existing infrastructure without needing to upgrade it. This feature can simplify network installation and maintenance by using the switch as a central power source for other network devices. A device that can source power such as an Ethernet switch is termed Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). Power Sourcing Equipment can provide power, along with data, over existing LAN cabling to Powered Devices.

  • Cable Discharge Event (CDE) Automated Test System Based on TLP Method
    Cable Discharge Event (CDE) Automated Test System Based on TLP Method Draft V3-2016.03.18 Wei Huang, Jerry Tichenor Web: www.esdemc.com Email: [email protected] Tel: (+1) 573-202-6411 Fax: (+1) 877-641-9358 Address: 4000 Enterprise Drive, Suite 103, Rolla, MO, 65401 Cable Discharge Event (CDE) Background What is CDE Event ? A Cable Discharge Event (CDE) is electrostatic discharge(s) between metal of a cable connector and the mating cable connector or plug. It is very common in daily life. When CDE happens, transient high current and high voltage pulses are generated into the connector pins and cause potential damage to the system with connector. The pulse characteristic is determined by the cable type, cable length, physical arrangement of the cable and system with connector, and system with connector side circuitry. A Generic CDE System Concept Why understanding CDE robustness is important ? The discharge processes are complicated due to the number of pins involved and their connections to a system. In addition, the occurrence rate and severity of the static discharge is important to design a robust system. Basic System Features: A well repeatable test setup to reproduce cable discharge events Pulse injection level covers different types of cable connections Additional System Features: Automatic computer controlled test for all available connector pins Automatic remove DUT residue charge safely after each pulse safely Integrate current and voltage probes to monitor CDE events on each pin ESDEMC Collected Cable Pins and Practical Passive
