Re-Patching the Network?

Good day to you all,

I am here today to pick on your brains because I am out of ideas and having a few hundred more people look into this other than me is always a good thing. I only want answers from users that have a network background.

Basically our patch panels are a mess and we need to re-patch everything? It’ll cost us 10,000 pounds for a company to re-patch two cabinets, color coded…etc Due to the contingency we as a company cannot afford it! Can anyone request.

Information we don’t have includes; where all the voice and network ports located around the building are located on the patch panel. Our database is out of date and therefore we need to start from scratch.

1. What is the best way to find out which port number relates to which patch in the cabinet. Is there a cheap product or device on the market that allows us to do this. We have the basic Cat 5 cables and no fibre optic.
2. Do you know of any good Network Diagram software that allows us to create a visual database of where are ports are located on the patch panel eventually when we find out.

Basically anything that can help us define our network diagram over a large network as original documentation was lost in translation. Cheers

Executive Summary
We design and deliver the systems, software
and services that drive next-generation communications
networks. Backed by Bell Labs
research and development, we use our
strengths in mobility, optical, access, data and
voice networking technologies, as well as
services, to create new revenue-generating
opportunities for our customers, while
enabling them to quickly deploy and better
manage their networks. Our customer base
includes communications service providers,
governments and enterprises worldwide.
We have three segments organized
around the products and services we sell.
The reportable segments are Integrated Network
Solutions (“INS”), Mobility Solutions
(“Mobility”) and Lucent Worldwide Services
(“Services”). INS provides a broad range
of software and wireline equipment related
to voice networking (primarily consisting
of switching products, which we sometimes
refer to as convergence solutions, and voice
messaging products), data and network
management (primarily consisting of access
and related data networking equipment
and operating support software) and optical
networking. Mobility provides software and
wireless equipment to support radio access
and core networks. Services provides deployment,
maintenance, professional and managed
services in support of both our product
offerings as well as multi-vendor networks.
Beginning in fiscal 2001, the global
telecommunications market deteriorated,
resulting from a decrease in the competitive
local exchange carrier market and a significant
reduction in capital spending by established
service providers.This trend intensified
during fiscal 2002 and continued into fiscal
2003. Reasons for the market deterioration
included general economic slowdown, network
overcapacity, customer bankruptcies,
network build-out delays and limited availability
of capital.
We believe that the market for telecommunications
equipment has stabilized
and is starting to grow in certain areas. The
growing demands of enterprises and consumers
for additional services tailored to
their needs is creating the need for a new
convergence of networks, technologies and
applications.

What is the best computer for creative advertising (graphic design, audio, video) and essential software?

I’m in the market for a new computer, which I plan to use in creative advertising. I was wondering what others in the field are currently using in terms of hardware and software — essentially, I’m interested in what is considered “top of the line” in 2007 for advertising professionals.

I have pretty much every piece of Adobe software from the late 90′s, and am positive I want to purchase their newer versions.

In respect to layout software like QuarkXpress, is this still being used for advertisements or has InDesign taken over?

All in all, I’m looking to spend around $1500 to $2000 total for hardware and software (I also get a student discount for Apple’s online store.) I realize this won’t allow the purchase of a Mac Pro desktop and Adobe Creative Suite 3, but I figure there have to be other scaled-down Macs that can get the job done. Would a suped up MacBook be ideal, if so.. which one?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

creating software for the solar energy industry – business plan?

so…recently I finished working on a project that was related to the oil & gas accounting software….and it was pretty easy, basically an ordinary accounting software with a few tweaks for the oil industry.
Now…I know that solar energy these days is booming and kind of got me wndering if I can develop and offer software as a sole business of mine? I have some steady experience developing software, so the level of complexity is the very least of my concerns. On the other I will acknowledge that I suck when it comes to marketing and running a business (i guess) so I need at least a good idea to server as my motivation. What software for the solar industry do you think will be good? like:

- accounting;
- predicting silicon prices based on neural networks.
- running hardware
- mathematical calculations (solar/quantum efficiency, poison processes, cdfs, etc. etc.).

I know there are some marketing obstacles…but do people need it at all? any guys working in the solar industry here?? 10x!

what is the best clinic management software available? specifically for a chinese medicine practice?

Looking for clinic management software for a chinese medicine practice.
Currently am PC based, but am wanting to move to mac, so mac platform is preferred.

I want the software to be able to hold client database, do full stock inventory, have point of sales with full financial reports etc. and preferably multi user so there is a server (reception) and each practitioner can use the software via each room to enter patient data during consult-i want to be paperless.

view calendar for appointments, and make appointments easily. have multiple practitioners with different modalities.

would like but not essential to sync with google calendar or be able to update on practitioner’s iphone etc for calendar.
be able to sms clients for appointment reminders
email patients with marketing campaigns or newsletters etc
if possible use device such as ipad to fill in patient intake forms for patient to auto complete their details.

if you have had expereince using the software would be great. I’d prefer application rather than online solution as I find it annoying every click having to wait for the page to load.
any suggestions are welcomed.

so far i’m looking at clinic director, but it seems a little buggy and is only on pc, as with clinicPOS.

price is an issue and needs to be as low as possible.

Many thanks in advance.

is that a good idea for an investment management software?

I was thinking to create an investment management software that can do various things like:

* backtesting technical and fundamental indicators over historical data:
* easily finding fundamental info for a stock (p/s, p/b, p/e…etc).
* calculating difficult quantitative measures (VaR, SABR volatility, black-derman-toy price…etc.)
* Create index of your portfolio and monitoring its price/beta and so on.
* calculate sortino ratio and other performance measures.

Basically, when I google it – I can’t find about say 70% of the things that I am planning to program – so it should be logical that since something is needed and cannot be found for free – the next available option is to pay for it.
There are other problems that concern me though:
how to reach my customers? that is…what price of the software to set given that I will need to put a sufficient investment for facebook, google adwords?
If i use email marketing (well…spamming) will I ever reach someone who is interested in say sabr volaility or things like that?
should i sell it as exe or as SaS (subscription to online website…)?

any advice? thanks!
I will bet that you are useless troll anyway…

Workout tips for 16 y/o?

16, female, 5 foot 7 inches, 181lbs. (Fat, I know, I know. At least I’m trying.)

I finally saved enough money with my job to afford a treadmill. I used to run at the park but I didn’t do it often because I hated going outside and running. Now I have a treadmill inside so I’ll be working out more often…any tips?

So far I’m going about 15 mins at 2.5mph each time, and I do that around 10 times a day. According to my treadmill that means I burn around ~600 cals a day. I really want to have my goal around ~1500 cals a day, so I started lifting 5lb weights while I walk, but I don’t know how much that is helping. I also brought up the incline on the tredmill a little.

My diet is mostly vegetables, with the bulk of it being white rice (Around 50%) and the rest are steamed vegetables and for one meal a day I eat some meat, usually a little bit of fish. I wrap my rice in seaweed because I like the taste of it…I’m avoiding cooking oils and fats completely so everything is steamed or baked, or toasted.
I’m eating lots of fruits, though. Maybe an apple and some figs, or a few mangoes/avocado on my rice.
I’m only drinking water and maybe once a day a half cup of cranberry juice or the green super food drink that I have in the morning.
I don’t go to school so I don’t eat the greasy fat foods they serve at schools.

Any tips on my regime? I’ve been doing this for about a week now, no significant weight loss so I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or maybe not enough working out.

Any recipes that are mainly rice and vegetables will ago be greatly loved! They don’t have to be delicious, just edible.
Wow, I didn’t know that about rice!
I’ll cut out most of the rice and replace it with just lots of water.
2lb a week should be normal for this workout plan? I lost 1.5lb this week so I guess that’s good.

The workout don’t really tire me out since I only go for around 15 minutes each, and I usually do something like listen to music or watch TV while I’m walking….
Thanks Dave H,

I’m taking protien supplements once a day, but at the same time I’m trying to avoid all the chemicals I hear are in store-bought meat. My dad is a fisherman so I do eat wild fish at least once a day…other than that I don’t really like how red meat tastes so I don’t eat it much.
I do try to keep my protein intake up with the supplements, since I know I need it. I also take coral calcium tablets which I believe has soy protein in it as well.

I am really nervous at work and cant get my act together?

i just started working at Richards whole foods, its like organic food store where they sell vitamins, oils, minerals etc. Well its my first job and feel really nervous when ever I manage the cash register since I sometimes screw up and ring up something wrongly, then I look like an idiot in front on the customer and one of the employees has to help me fix the problem ( this has happened NUMEROUS times), I also speak in a very soft and sort of pathetic voice. Whats incredibly hard for me is we have bulk items, meaning people go to the dispensers in the back and pick out seeds, wheats, chocolates, dried fruits, vegetable chips, and there are literally close to 100 different types of bulk foods, and I am suppose to memorize what each and EVERY one of them looks like, and ring it up like magic. Today was my second day, but I feel sooooo stupid for having to ask almost everytime for help on the bulk foods whether its salted, unsalted, roasted, whole, organic, pitted, crushed, ground, basically alot. Every employee there is also older than me by at 5-10 years, making me the ‘child’ and I can sometimes hear them talk behind my back when im stocking stuff saying how slow and nervous I am….I dont have anyone there I really connect with, I am literally all alone. I dont want to quit since I need the money, but I am possibly being offered a job at Smoothie King, where my friend josh works.

What should I do? I apologize If this sounds incredibly whinny, Im not usually like this but Its just a bad day. P.S Im a 19 year old male.

I’m trying to lose weight the health way, vegan diet?

I’ve been a vegan for almost 2 years now but I haven’t exactly been healthy (I’ve been a compulsive over-eater since I was 5 years old) and i finally got it under control and went from 260 pounds to a lowest weight of 166, then i gained like 30 back during a school year because of the stress of all-AP classes.

anyways, i want to be a healthier person. I have this book called Becoming Vegan that has a detailed account of the nutrients that people need and how to fulfill those needs with healthy vegan foods (instead of french fries and soy mac ‘n cheese). This is the plan:

1,600 calories a day or less
50 grams of fat or less (i’ll be aiming for less, like 50 will be the absolute maximum)
88 g. of protein (calculated based on my weight)
5-6 small meals a day
high-fiber foods
drinking at least 64 oz. of water a day
getting at least 6-9 hours of sleep a night (i did that over the summer and i felt so much more energized!)

here’s the types of foods i’d be eating:

Grains: (6-11 servings)
whole wheat bread, bagels, muffins, cereals (kashi rocks)
brown rice (mmm)
grits (the type you just add water to and microwave instead of like a bunch of butter and grease, eww)
whole-wheat pasta

Vegetables: (3+ servings)
salad, corn, potatoes, etc.

Fruit: (2+ servings)
bananas, oranges, apples, watermelons, grapes, strawberries, etc.

Beans and Bean Alternatives: (2-3 servings)
beans, tofu, rice cakes, nuts (what are some good kinds that aren’t too fatty?)

Fortified Soymilk and Alternatives: (6-8 servings)

does this sound good? i’m trying to lose about 88 more pounds in a year or under in a healthy way. i exercise about 2 hours every day (working a different body part on different days. a good bulk of that time is cardiovascular exercise by the way) so is 1,600 calories enough or too much?

thanks

why does it say free white pages and then charge a fee for the information?

Is there a free cell phone white pages?

I’m just curious to see if I can look up people’s information through their cell phone number for free. I’ve found a few sites where you have to pay to get the information, but who would do that if there’s a free option available?

What happen to free reversed white pages lookup?

What happened to free reversed white pages lookup? It was free to use, but now it costs? Any free link?

Where can I get a cheap or free copy of the latest Verizon yellow and white pages?

I need the most recent copy of the Verizon Yellow Pages and White Pages for Northern Virginia. I believe these books are updated and issued once a year. Verizon sells them, but for $70 apiece. Where can I get a copy of these two books for free or for cheap?

Can you recommend/suggest marketing engineering software?

I need a marketing engineering software/tool for research. Is there anyone who can introduce one to me except the one named as “Marketing Engineering for Excel”. Just having a demo (free trial) of that is appropriate. Or even if you can introduce a book to me except these two:
1- Principles of Marketing Engineering by Gary L. Lilien, Arvind Rangaswamy, and Arnaud De Bruyn
2- Marketing Engineering: Computer-Assisted Marketing Analysis and Planning, Revised Second Edition by Gary L. Lilien and Arvind Rangaswamy

thank you
Dear answerer
one of you (my friend) have just recommended me this site

http://www.mktgeng.com/

But the two books and the software that I already mentioned in my details were from that site that I had visited before, I really need something more than that site.
thank you

I have a great idea for a business plan educational software but don’t know where to start.?

I am looking for investors or a business partner who has programming skills to help me design this fantastic idea I have for business educational software programme. It is unlike anything else out there
and would take the way business plans are done into a new era. Schools would use it for educational purposes. Banks I’m sure would base their decisions around it. Could even be set up as a niche social networking site..
I have no experience with programming or internet marketing hence why I am here asking for help.
It could be the next big idea. A bit of a bold statement I know but there’s something a bit special about this just need help to make it come to life

What skills do I need if I want to go into marketing?

I’m currently in my final year of electronics engineering. i have a placement in an IT company and i will be working there after my b.tech. I plan to do an MBA after working there for a couple of years.
Now, what I want to know is what skills do i need if i want to have a successful career in marketing. I have interest in the field but my problem is that i do not interact with people very often. Most of the time when I’m sitting with my colleagues i just listen to what they have to say but do not actively participate in the conversation. I have decent communications skills which I got to improve during the various presentations I had to give during my engineering. but will my lack of active communication be a problem in marketing. I believe the reason i don’t talk so often is because i don’t have a significant reason to talk. but in marketing i’ll be knowing what and whom to communicate about the products i want to market. plus i’m assuming that marketing is a lot more than just talking. it involves a lot of planning and market research too (that’s why it is different from sales).
Please help in explaining me what skills does a marketing manager require.
Also after my mba i plan to go for marketing in a software development company since i’ll be having a working experience in an it company. What will be the scope of a marketing manager in a software development company.

I saw an infomercial that sold software which informs you when to buy/sell stock. What’s the name of it?

I currently have a money market account and a 401K plan, but I would personally like to make my money work of me. I would like to begin dealing in stocks but I have no background in finance or trading. To those of you who have already purchased the software/product, was it helpful? What is our experience? Is there a better device or service out there that can help me?

Thank you in advance for your help!
