5 port 100Mb/s Switch (currently connected to 4 ip cameras and a downlink)
DI-524 Wireless Router
Dlink 8-Port Gb switch
I'm sure I've forgotten some things...
back to basics here...
have Machine 1 installed with Ubuntu MCE seems ok
have the background images UI with antialiasing xv driver
tried to dump some media on for testing purposes..
put a movie in public/movies, that worked, but no way of controlling it using the built in orbiter
(portable devices not set up yet - whoa, one step at a time!!!
put a bunch of JPG's in a pictures folder,
MD (core) sees them, but when I try to "play" them, I get a message saying that no playback module available for playing this type of media.... it's a darn PICTURE!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ok, I'm calm again. Any thoughts on how to view pictures on the core MD
Second situation: I think I know the answer to this one, time will fix it... the second machine (almost identical to the first) can't PXE boot from the first, NVidia NIC's
How do I go about building a Boot CD for this workstation so simulate PXE boot?
Third Situation: Building a boot CD for the Digimatrix - it doesn't support PXE
on a good note, I was able to PXE boot my dell that's all fine, that was on a previous install - got the GSOD and had to reinstall from scratch, so I'm holding off on installing any more MD's until I can get 1 working properly
Fourth situation, have all the IP cameras configured for DHCP to the DCERouter, they all get 192.168.80.x addresses
programmed in their macs into Generic IP camera...
set the filepath to /GetData.cgi (stream mode)
don't know what IP's are being assigned to the cameras - how do I check?
any other hints about getting the IP surveillance cams working would be helpfull
My Wife has her laptop out of country, so can't do anything with the mac for now.
FYI, I'm using a CM11A (not hooked up yet) and a generic security alarm panel
I'll get the alarm panel later, it's got lotsa config both on the panel, and on MCE Protocols, messages, etc.
got lots more PC's and printers, etc, to get hooked up too.. but 1 at a time here, to get past the learning curve.
should be a nice setup if I can get it all working, X10 curtains are a nice touch in the living room
ok, my 2 cents..
Help! if you can... thanks
Dan
