drywall mounting for Cisco Antennae

Hi all, We've just taken delivery of some Cisco APs (1252) and antennae (ant5140V and ant2430V). The antennae came with mounting clips for a t-bar ceiling but one area we're working with is a drywalled ceiling and I don't see an easy way to mount these antennae to drywall (unless I'm missi

When I say "Airport" I'm talking about the cable/modem router. For some reason Apple seems to refer to the wireless Nics on the laptops as well as the AP's as an "Airport." (They are just in their own little world.) But in any case, I'm only talking about devices that do not behave as clients. Pet

Is there some particular issue you have with devices like the Airport? Given it's 802.11 based and doesn't need to run in AP mode when used to stream audio, is there some other problem you're seeing? -Chris Murphy On 8/25/08 8:40 AM, "Peter P Morrissey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks Mike

The first paragraph on my other response speaks to tivos/slingboxes, and ip phones (you mean wired right?) It is your choice to make, if you want to allow wireless speakers over 802.1x you will have to deal with the interference, if you want to stop it, you will probably have to physically trac

On the issue of games, Tivos, etc... where they need additional network ports, we require that they use a regular dumb switch/hub (which we have "approved"), nothing with routing involved. This way they each have a legitimate IP on our network. As far as non-network connected wireless, we have

Thanks Mike. We have SafeConnect. The difference is we allow wired routers to make games, Tivo's, Clingboxes easier. I know SafeConnect does a pretty good job ID'ng a lot of the games, but how do you deal with Tivo's, Slingboxes, IP Phones etc? The other challenge we're having is that we are se

Our NAC system, Impulse SafeConnect, detects rogue AP's by using what they call "NAT Detection". If the gateway of the students computer does not match the gateway of the network, their IP (external one of the rogue router/AP) gets blocked with a message stating the following: = Y
