Hey... I've got a brand new Sony Vaio 710G MCE XP PC. My monitor runs at 1280x960 resolution, but the nvidia drivers max out at 1024x768 for my TV out. So basically, I have to resize my resolution on my monitor every time I want to watch TV on my TV-out or play a DVD on my TV-out. Is there...

I've used Riser Bond's 6000 TDR before, it was a very nice unit. Anyone else have experience with it? I'm looking to pick up a nice graphical TDR for coax fault locating. How about the more simple tempo 2520?

Has anyone ever taken any of NCTI's courses, or receieved any of their certification? Also, how does their Master Technician program relate to the RCDD certification, I've been reading that it counts somehow towards an RCDD certificate.

I'm looking for a single rack space, or double rack space coax patch panel. Basically... metal panel with holes drilled out and barrels in the holes.. nothing more complicated than that. Any manufacturers? I can't seem to find any anywhere.

Does the conduit fill ratio rule apply to stubs? Ie. a 2' stub (or chase) going from the cieling space, through the cieling tiles, and just a few inches down, basically allowing a path for your cabling to go from above the cieling down into the MDF or IDF. I've done it with 4" PVC a bunch...

Is there a particular standard and or method to splicing Cat5e or Cat6 riser cable if it gets cut or damaged? The only time I've ever done it was using a 5 pair 710 module, and it worked fairly well (the 710 module was cat5e rated) and passed with a pentascanner. But are there premanufactured...

I guess this is fairly appropriate. I'm running into issues more and more with estimating. Most of my work is in the cable TV/internet industry. I am a subcontractor for the local cable company, and do roughly 8 installs per day. Some days I do construction (clogged conduits, trenching...

Anyone know of a meter that's fairly small? Currently I use a Sadelco Minimax for forward signal and a trilithic for reverse path. The trilithic is perfect size, however, I usually use the sadelco for checking signal on taps. Most taps in my area are aerial... so -- I end up lugging that huge...

Hey, I'm trying to find a decent online source to buy small quantities (ie. a box of 100) of 3M UR, UY, UG, and pair-at-a-time splices. When I say pair-at-a-time, I mean the type that takes one pair on one side, and lets you go to another pair on the other side. Everywhere I look, a box of...

Hi, I've got Premiere 6.5, and I'm using my Sony TRV720. I figure that this is a decent camera, I just hate the audio it records. We're about to start filming a movie (low budget). I'd like to use my sony camera because I think the picture it gets is good enough, I don't want to have to buy...

Hi, Looking for a way to program some analog single line stations to automatically select an outside line from the pool, basically make the station automatically dial 9 transparently to give the station normal dialtone appearance. Thanks

Hey, Telcos usually use those orange decals with letters and numbers on them to identiy pair number and cable number on their entrance protectors. Anyone know where you can get those? They look like the registration year sticker that you get for your license plate, but they only have one...

I might be awarded a contract with a carrier that has some cables running from California and Washington to Japan. My contract would be for the OSP splicing and repair of their cable (which is a 4 pair single mode fiber, also including a ground and 4200 volt power cable for their amplifiers...

Hi, I've got a problem. I'm trying to figure out on our Audix and our Octel VM systems how to change the key mapping. Someone before changed the key mapping so that 9 and # on Octel prompt for password to get access to VM box. How can I change # back to the command to bypass a user's...

Is there a way to search through your extensions via the SAT by name? Ie. if I search for Joe Blow it will come up with his ext number?

Last night we got a call from Avaya saying that our Audix reported an error and they fixed it remotely. How can we check what errors are happening? Our definity G3 says that we have 70 warnings, how do I see what these warnings are and potentially fix them?

Hey, I've got DSA version 1.0 build 15 from what appears to be 1999. Does anyone have the upgrades for the DSA software? I know you can download Merin WinSPM upgrades, but I can't find DSA upgrades on Avaya.com Nick

Hey, I've got a problem with IE. Most recent version, win2k pro with most recent updates. Every time I visit a page, the form elements in any given page will absolutely lag, if I go to type something into a search box while the page is loading it won't even register that I've clicked on the...

OK. So I scratched the telnet idea and now have a data module up and running connected to my switch. The data module is connected to COM1 on my Redhat Linux box. I'm wondering what I do next? Do I use a terminal emulation application like minicom? I have NO idea what to do... Nick

Another fine question. When adding new stations in our Definity switch, we've got a large problem. The third page of the station's information has a few fields, the one I'm talking about in particular is the "Building" field. On our campus, we've got about 75 buildings, and the...
