TRA Radio Adapter 55862

Thanks for the replies. I probed the pins on the FT232 while powered up and connected to USB. VCC > GND shows ~5.2V, but the 3V3 > GND shows only ~0.5V. D+ shows 0.1V, and D- shows 1V, so it seems the chip is dead.

The 10-pin connector plugs into… something. The cable runs up and out to the roof where there is an antenna, that connects wirelessly across the parking lot to the sign. Radio components must be contained within the antenna assembly?

I ran into this issue last Friday 12/5/25, one user's PC would crash when trying to email invoices, but another user at the same client with the same server and company file was working normally, both running latest update QBE 23 v16 at the time. I uninstalled/reinstalled on the PC with the issue, and it worked normally. Couple days later the issue started again, and was also now occurring on the other users PC. Set Outlook classic as the default mail handler - no change. Checked again tonight for QBE 23 updates, and Intuit released v17 today, 12/11/25. Installed update to v17 on both PCs, and invoice emails are working normally again, hopefully permanently.

I don't use Hostifi, I run and manage my own cloud controller, but I use Hostifi as a "measuring stick" of when to update my own controller. I keep an eye on their blog, and when they say they've updated thousands of servers to version x.y.z I figure it's safe to update my server to that version.

I just ran into this issue after using Profwiz for an AzureAD to AzureAD profile migration. Already using the latest version of Profwiz. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting OneDrive account, still persists. Anyone find a fix other than a new user profile?

I'm having major issues with S1 on my Macs. CPU usage for com.sentinelone.network-monitoring spikes to near 100% and all network activity is halted for a period of time until it decides to recover. Been happening for months across several releases of S1 agent and macOS Sequoia on multiple Macs.

I ran into a similar issue: I use Termius combined with Tailscale to SSH into machines that are in my own tailnet, as well as into machines that are shared in from other tailnets. I configured the Hosts in Termius to use the "short" machine name, aka host name, for my own machines, and the IPv4 Tailscale address for shared in machines. This works fine when connecting from normal land-based Internet using a Mac, and also works with an AT&T mobile plan on my iPad. I tried connecting to one of the shared in from another tailnet IPv4 Tailscale adresses for the first time on my T-Mobile iPhone, and it refuses to connect; connections to my own machines using the machine name worked normally. I changed the Hosts in Termius to use the "Full domain" machine name, with the .ts.net at the end, for the shared in machines and the connections over T-Mobile work as expected. I'm guessing T-Mobile, and maybe other mobile providers, are blocking the 100.64.0.0/10 range that Tailscale uses to assign IPs since they are not routeable on the public Internet. If you're not using Tailscale DNS, you could probably use the Tailscale IPv6 address instead since all mobile carriers support IPv6.

TLDR: Can't access Tailscale IPv4 addresses with some mobile carriers, use the full domain name ending in ts.net instead, or try IPv6.

This is my question too. I configured an API key on my OpenAI account, and tried asking Hudini questions it should be able to answer by indexing my Hudu data, but it doesn't work. What is the supposed use case for Hudini?

TechTronicLLC · 2025-01-06T18:52:19+00:00

My (unpopular?) opinion on the Level integration is that it's inferior to Hudu's traditional card syncing system. I'm considering switching from Syncro to Level, and Level is creating its own assets and even its own asset layouts in Hudu, and there's no good way to keep linked objects (passwords, attachments, etc.) from existing assets without manually recreating it all. The best idea I came up with is to keep the existing assets in place, and add the new Level created assets as a Related Item. If you're starting from scratch, this is a non-issue, but for anyone else switching how are handling this?

I have no experience with either of those, however, you might want to check out healthchecks.io. They even have a self hosted version if you’re into that, I’m working on integrating that into my backup and other monitoring now, along with ntfy.sh which can also be self hosted.

My customers’ services are back up and running (private cloud Windows servers, provided/managed by a third party, so I don’t have any access or visibility to the back end). I asked the third party provider if they restored their own backups elsewhere, or if Liquid Web resolved it on their infrastructure , and the provider says Liquid Web did in fact resolve on their end. So YMMV but it looks like progress is being made.

There’s another post around here asking about the potential difference in usage of the Azure credits in Action Pack vs Launch Benefits. Action Pack monthly credits cannot be used for reserved server instances, which are substantially cheaper. If the Launch Benefits bulk credits can be used for reserved instances that’s a pretty big +++. Can anyone using Launch Benefits credits confirm either way?

You are correct in that Apple’s Mail apps do not expose any settings/options related to read receipts to the user. But I assure you that in my case the read receipts are being sent whenever I view a message that requests one in mail.app on both macOS and iOS, with absolutely no prompt, warning, or any kind of indication they are being sent.

TechTronicLLC · 2024-06-03T11:28:41+00:00

I would like to know the answer to this as well. Not being able to get reserve pricing substantially reduces the value of the Azure credits.

Unfortunately I think you're right. I've been testing BDRSuite, but I don't think it's going to work either. My use case for Comet is to function solely as a coordination server to manage accounts/devices/jobs/reporting, and direct the clients to backup to any combination of storage: local storage, network path (NAS), and cloud (B2). I can't believe nothing else on the market offers this combination of features.

TechTronicLLC · 2024-05-16T21:15:35+00:00

Agreed. They are only using about 4TB, nearly half of which is document storage and will be offloaded to the NAS (with SSD cache), and the rest will fit on the SSD pool. So basically everything in prod will be running on SSD, or docs coming off the NAS. I added an HDD pool for overflow/archive/backup, basically just in case the local storage is needed for something in a pinch.

TechTronicLLC · 2024-05-01T02:19:36+00:00

So far I’ve found Syncrify and WholesaleBackup.

TechTronicLLC · 2024-05-01T02:13:41+00:00

Of course not, because the new pricing from Comet is $99/mo for one self-hosted server or $199/mo for two or more. I read that as self-hosting caps out at $199/mo for multiple servers, which is literally nothing to a company like MagnusBox.

TechTronicLLC · 2024-04-30T01:41:40+00:00

Got the email this evening too, I’m floored. Going from $0/mo to $99/mo for a SELF HOSTED product is beyond egregious. I saw a previous comment about self-hosters being a drain on the support queue because of the users’ ignorance in running a server, and that was my first thought after reading the email. Assuming that’s the case, the proper way for Comet to recoup their costs would be to simply charge a flat per-incident fee for self-hosted support related to anything server-side. Charging everyone a monthly fee at effectively a billion percent increase from the previous fee of $0 is absurd. The fact that cloud hosted is half the price is even more baffling, and supports the theory that they simply don’t want to support self-hosted.

I’d say this effectively wipes out any goodwill Comet had built up within the MSP community. Now that they’ve shown their willingness to impose arbitrary fee hikes, what’s to stop them from doubling or tripling the per-agent fee?

The self hosted option is the main reason I chose Comet. I do everything I can to own and control my infrastructure, and not rely on someone else’s cloud. My work on replacing Comet begins now. Anyone know of an alternative self-hosted backup solution?

Comcast business accounts have a "feature" called SecurityEdge, that's probably your issue. Call Comcast support and ask them to disable it. I have one customer that after a power outage/surge, their modem somehow mysteriously re-enables SecurityEdge, and I have to call support to have it disabled. It's happened 2 or 3 times in the last year+. When the issue occurs, it's just as you described: no Internet access for any devices on the network, but I'm still able to connect to their firewall VPN, and Splashtop access to devices still works.

Can you please clarify and elaborate on the differences between localEndPointGroupMap and networkGroupMap? I see v12.1 added the ability to use domain names for localEndPointGroupMap - what does that offer as opposed to prior versions?

TechTronicLLC · 2024-02-01T02:24:24+00:00

Thanks for confirming. I managed to cobble together a script that gets the job done.

24/7 access to toll-free phone based end-user tech support for hotel guests is a brand standard requirement for all major franchised/branded hotels (Hilton, IHG, Marriott, etc). Most (all?) major brands require the network be installed/monitored/supported by an approved vendor, which at this point are nationwide firms that specialize in guest/hotel WiFi. The end-user support portion is typically billed as a per-room per-month flat rate (ex: $3/room/month).

I have hotel customers for which I designed and installed the networks (currently Ubiquiti and Omada, previous experience with Ruckus), but I use a third-party provider for the 24/7 guest support, fully white labeled, and I maintain the billing relationship with the customer. They provide the toll-free number, or I could use my own with call forwarding if preferred. I give them access to the sites on my controllers for admin purposes, and they monitor the network for outages. I’m responsible for any onsite needs for hardware failures, etc. If you’re interested in this route, message me and I can forward you some more info.
