I have 6 Xerox 3115 Scanners w/ Docking Stations at a site.  They run them off of Windows 10 Version 1803.   They freeze up at least 3 times a week.   To get them working again. I have to completely uninstall the driver and then reinstall it.   Xerox has not put out an new driver for this model in well over a year.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Can anyone recommend a non-APC model of UPS.  Specs should be similar to this:
http://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/products/APC-Smart-UPS-SRT-5000VA-with-208-240V-to-120V-Step-Down-Transformer/P-SRT5KXLT-5KTF?isCurrentSite=true#

The dimension I need so its not sticking out so much.  Taller and wider OK.
I'm not familiar with non-APC brands.  Hence asking.  
Thanks in advance.

How to find out the level of thunderbolt hardware support via a command line, or via a diagnostic utility.
Looking for anything that when run, will say something like, "Your system supports thunderbolt, etc, etc. and possibly gives more detailed hardware info.

This specially address a problem of detecting thunderbolt features on some of the newer Dell laptops, e7480/p5510/p5520.

I know that the e7480 has to be requested to have thunderbolt enabled for the USB-C port at time of purchase, but wondering if there is some type of diagnostic like Speccy that just tells you the hardware supports thunderbolt tech.

Sorry for sounding like I don't know what I'm talking about--cause I don't, lol

What are luxury technology that can be added for apartment (not hotel) residents.
One example is an outdoor buzzer that rings to phone.
Another is content management system on computer that allows resident to notify management company that toilet is overflowing.

HI, I was wondering if there was a hardware way to make my laptop show the display of a vga.  Hard for me to explain, but if I have a server that has no monitor, can I see the display of it on my own laptop?  like a vga to usb with a program or something like that.

Thanks all.

Hi Expert,

I have a user which is getting the no internet access with a ! mark but in fact, they can surf the internet. I wanted to resolve this issue because I need to install office 365 on user pc. From our side when we uninstall the LAN driver from the device manager and go to action click scan for hardware changes can resolve the issue but somehow failed to reinstall the driver after a scan for hardware changes.

Method I tried

- Remove the scan for hardware changes using the local account.
- Remove the proxy server.
- Plug out LAN cable and restart and plug in back.
- Manually Download LAN driver from officially Acer website and install and don't work.
- PC model Acer Veriton, Windows 7 32 bits

Appreciated if anyone can assist me on.

Thanks!

Hi,

I've got a connection (compatibility) issue between an HPE 16Gbps Fibre Channel HBA and an 8 Gbps Fibre Channel LTO-7 Backup Tape Drive.

The supplier of the hardware said that the FC HBA would connect to the Backup Tape Drive at 8 Gbps (it would negotiate a lower speed and is compatible with slower devices), but this does not seem to be the case. It shows "link down", and I also tried to force the speed on both devices to 8 Gbps.

Any ideas on how one goes from here to troubleshoot or get the connection to work?

In summary:

We have a new HPE DL360 Gen 10 Server with the HPE SN1200E 16Gbps FC HBA.
This connects to the IBM/Lenovo LTO-7 FC SLED (Tape Drive) in the TS-3100 Tape Library.
I’ve set the connection speed for both (FC HBA Port 1 and LTO-7 SLED) to 8 Gbps (it did not connect when set to “auto” on both devices either).
The port link status on the FC HBA shows “link down”.
The SLED status shows “negotiating link”.

I will attach some screen shots as well.

Thanks,
Reinhard

I have some NEMA 23 stepper motors here I want to use in a CNC fabricator.  The motors are Minebea / Astrosyn 23KM series.  The specs are readily available from Minebea - except for the thing I really need to know, which is the connector.

The connectors are the same on all motors.  The connectors are about twice the size of those found on the very common NEMA 17 motor cables sold on fleabay

They are six pin connectors with 2.54mm pin spacing  The square pins readily accept Dupont type connector wire sockets.  The connector external size is 18mm length by 6mm width.  Two slots are cut on one side of the connector for keying -- unlike a NEMA 17 type motor connector where the single side key is over pins 2 through 5, on this connector the two narrow keys are over pins 1 and 6.

I do not want to solder directly to the pins.  While Dupont sockets fit, imo neither those sockets nor the associated wires are to be trusted with 5 amp inductive loads.

1.  What is the designation for this connector?

2.  Where can I find the connectors, or cables, at a price that won't break the bank?  At this time I only need four.

I have an APC UPS and I was trying to load the software to monitor the power supply usage. The software didn't install I think because I have to have the cable connected between the UPS and my PC (see attached images). What type of cable do I need for the serial port on the UPS to either a serial on my PC or USB?

Also, I have three Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor with a 16:10 ratio. I have windows behind me that create a pretty bad glare in the afternoons and I was looking for some good anti-glare/privacy screens. Any recommendations? I was wanting one that used a frame instead of the sticky tape. The monitors have the controls on the front of the frame of the monitor, so I wanted something that could accommodate the control. Just looking for recommendations on good anti-glare screens.

Thanks.

Looking for a better security solution for home directory listing buzz in.  
Due to the increase mail package thefts, HOA proposed to completely remove remote buzz in option.  Currently visitors dialing the code downstairs, call comes to resident's cell phone,  and by pushing '9' the door unlocks;  If we remove that option the resident has to go downstairs to open the door to the visitor. Definitely inconvenient option.  But could be safe. Recently we even noticed the food delivery guys stealing packages on the way out.

My idea to improve it is to add a small cam downstairs.  When someone dialing in the call comes to resident's smartphone.  Resident immediately see shows coming in and make a decision to buzz person in or not.   Can this be implemented for a building of 50 units?  

Any ideas appreciated.   Thanks!!

What power parameters do I need to know before bringing the equipment into the server room?  Want to make sure I plug things in and not kick the breakers.
I'm bringing two large switches, two large firewalls, and UPS.
Do I need to ask electrician for watts available, or Amps, or VAC?

Does anyone has experience with flashing your own fiber optics SFP?  I see some network engineers using this.  Flexoptix.  Instead of buying brand named optics from the manufacturer.  They make their own for fraction of the price.  

https://www.flexoptix.net/en/flexbox-series-configure-universal-transceivers.html?395=1357&co9424=

You need to buy a flexbox to code the optics. ~$2K/each.

I've never done this before and not sure what entails.  Is it the best player on the market?  Any risks or other issues doing it?  
Please advice.  Any info appreciated.  Thank you!
