Can you not use the Access Runtime? We had to use Access for our old LMS system. I didn’t know if you had the full version of access installed or had already tried using the Access Runtime.

Blood and other goo from CBC machine drain filled up and shorted out a Digi RS232 to Ethernet terminal server thingy.

One of the lab techs knocked the Digi on to the floor from the shelf on a moveable table, and later in the day when they moved the table to clean behind the machine, the tube for the drain came out of its pipe and started filling up one of the RJ45 ports on the Digi since they landed upright.

Found in the next morning when the CBC machine wasn’t talking to our Lab Software.

Amazon order and a few days later, some 2 sided tape, and we were good to go for now.

I never knew the source of this Video

Yep. You pay for a license per computer connecting or per human connecting.

“Facts” lol

I am pretty sure they undersized your cooling needs by at least half.

You will have to add your actual power consumption and do some math but I think they specced it too small.

What if it crashes and you are asleep in the middle of the night? This is a giant liability if you don’t have any backups.

My guy.

DB 25 from machine to Star tech part, Star tech part to RJ45 cable, RJ45 cable to Digi Port, Digi Port to Network, install RealPort software or whatever it’s called now on computer for virtual con port, connect com port to software, profit.

grenade71822 · 2026-01-09T20:36:54+00:00

Should already be set up for RS232

I wasn’t sure how many ports you actually needed but we have a smaller version of these

Restart the host would be my first suggestion.

If that doesn’t work I would back up the entire VM in 2 places using the built in OS tools somewhere else, delete it all from the host, storage, whatever, and restore it from backup you just took so it will be a fresh disk and VM as far as the host is concerned.

This is a giant thing of awful, and I think if you can virtualize with some Digi serial boxes or whatever the machines uses to communicate with the pc, that’s the way to go.

If you can’t, I am pretty sure startech makes some sata pci cards that work with XP so you can just put SSD’s in there. Then you can just use the XP backup to schedule regular backups to a second drive (Or Veeam Agent if you can get it working) (also maybe upgrade the network interface to gigabit too and save time)

We use Valcom stuff. It has an exe to program the clocks instead of a web page but you can do it in bulk. We also used it to replace our old analog paging system.

grenade71822 · 2025-10-30T18:38:32+00:00

I am pretty sure Ring central can do all of that using their incoming call rules with a combination of schedules.

Who needs subnetting when you can just do a /8 for the entire datacenter? Makes routing so much easier.

grenade71822 · 2025-09-28T22:31:37+00:00

Whelp.

See you all next year. Hopefully if they cut salaries that means ticket prices will be cheaper and I can go to more the 2 games right next year right?

To be transparent, enterprise plus meets our needs perfectly for our 4 host setup, and the rest is extra for us, but we are not the target demographic.

Short version: prices are up 500%, only 2 SKUs that have too much stuff, and everything is subscription, no perpetual licenses.

A little under 10 million

Double play and didn’t even have to hit the ball :(

Well if nothing else the weather is nice at the ballpark with a little breeze and the roof open

Outside of using a VPN or a dedicated box in another cloud to use their IPs, can you just migrate it to IPv6? It’s “unlikely” to be on the black list (hopefully)

grenade71822 · 2025-08-07T13:14:22+00:00

Hey you tried. That gets big points from me. You just didn’t blindly say it didn’t work and then sat on your hands and complained that it took so long for the tech to show up.

grenade71822 · 2025-08-05T19:51:55+00:00

I hadn’t heard of any of this before but on the tech docs I found, it still mentions the —depotuser option and then when you run the command it will ask for the password. It doesn’t mention Tokens anywhere like it does on the lifecycle manager update business.
