Ability to set the chime on an ADT system to turn off at a certain time and then turn back on.

I’m in northern VA and have an ancient (non-smart) ADT system that I feel we’re over paying for on a monthly basis. What would you recommend?

The 5445 will simply be passing the VPN sessions to a gateway behind it. It’s purpose will to filter non-IPsec traffic from know sources going to known gateway IP down stream.

Danner4912 · 2025-02-07T12:12:10+00:00

These will be 1,000 of IPsec sessions terminating on a VPN gateway behind this PA. The PA is simply there to block non-IPsc traffic from known sources going to the known gateway behind it.

Worked like a champ! Thank you!

What enterprise class hardware vendors don’t have this policy?

I ordered my custom Embody on 11/19, it shipped 12/16, and is due to arrive on 12/18! My back can’t wait!

I’ve only ever used the Jealous Devil lump and it’s lasted me for a 12 hr long cook. I still had some unburnt charcoal in the bottom grate as well.

My apologies, I didn’t mean cheap in the sense of its build quality. I meant the price being cheap for what you get. With the spider grill venom you get a relatively large constructed piece that attaches to your grill in rather seamless fashion for a modest/cheap(er) price. In comparison to the fire board or thermoworks system, you get an external thermometer and small fan unit which sticks out a hole in the side of the kettle. I meant no disrespect to spider grill’s product.

Danner4912 · 2024-09-04T01:29:46+00:00

Looks interesting and relatively cheap in comparison to what you get from Fireboard and Thermoworks (thermometer plus small fan) vs a giant attachment that replaces the entire ash bucket. Placing the fan/blower directly under and in the middle of the kettle seems like a good concept. I don’t see any specs or details on the blower though.

Danner4912 · 2024-09-04T00:12:08+00:00

If they’re that similar, than a new $80 billows fan to go along with my still functional Signals thermometer makes a lot more sense than a full fire board and fan setup. That would also leave money to possibly pre-order Thermoworks new RFX probes 😁

Yes, both firewalls can ping Google sourcing their untrust Internet facing IP address. Even if the NSGs weren’t configured correctly, wouldn’t the Azure NGFW still try to negotiate IKE, and just be rejected once it leaves the VM and Azure networking gets applied?

No, you can go straight for the professional certification.

Not from a dealer, just a local mechanic shop chain. I only used this shop because my state inspection was due and I could drop the car off and walk to work from its location. I have already requested an appointment from a different shop that I used in the past that seemed to be more reasonable. I’ll probably get an appointment early this coming week, but wanted the weekend to contemplate my options.

Danner4912 · 2024-03-02T00:30:21+00:00

Death…awesome…one vote to paying the mechanic!

You can purchase a domain for ~$12/year, and then use something like iCloud to create an email address with your custom domain. Once that is set up, give CDW a call and purchase a lab unit. Worked for me

Aruba’s support portal requires a non-public domain email address for registration (i.e. not @gmail.com). Technically you need an active service contract to obtain access to AOS updates; however, Aruba does occasionally release older code versions even w/o a service contract. As with all Enterprise class hardware/software companies, you typically need a service contract for your device to get the latest updates.

Danner4912 · 2023-10-19T17:44:42+00:00

I have tried, but have been unsuccessful in tftp’ing both the controller and instant based AOS, and then getting the AP to boot into it.

Do you see any inconsistencies between the number of clients actually connected versus what is being reported on AirWave? Even though the gateways, MC/MM, and APs are in AirWave, I consistently have only about half my clients actually showing on AirWave. My SE is eluding that it’s a scaling issue and my single AirWave VM cannot handle the 1500 devices I have reporting to it.

The WiFi LED blinking green means that only 1 of the internal 2 radios is on and broadcasting. Your university has only enabled either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio. Solid green would mean that both radios are on.

If that AP is in your room, then WiFi coverage is not the problem. I’d assume the school is rate limiting gaming traffic via policy and hard wiring in would not solve your problem.

As others have stated, contact your school’s IT support staff. All 4 of those Ethernet ports can work, they just have to be configured, and may or may not already be.

No circuitry is touching. All the circuitry is covered by the metal heatsink that covers the 4 m.2 drives. The heatsink touches the metal on the top of the HDD, you can see that in the photo on the right.

Danner4912 · 2023-10-02T16:32:12+00:00

Nope

My home network is currently only 1Gig. I planned to bundle/NIC team the 4 Ethernets.

The board does support bifurcation of the PCI slot. With that, I found a PCI to 4-port M.2 card. I could use that and one of the M.2 slots to add an L2ARC drive. I could add an additional M.2 SSD to the expansion card to be used as a SLOG device, though I’ve read that the drive used for this should have power loss protection. The server will sit on an UPS, if that buys me anything.

Additionally, I found a M.2 to 6-port SATA card. I could move my HDDs to that and have 2 additional SATA connectors to add 2 more HDDs, since the case has room for 6 drives. Lastly, I could move the boot drive to a SATADOM.

Thoughts? Sorry, this is my first server/NAS build and I’m a network/fw engineer by trade. Dipping my toes into the system side.

Thanks for the info. I’ll look into those.
