The UPS is model APC Smart-UPS 1500. When I check for the UPS age its told me 2.93 years old.
According to my provided information, what should I do with this UPS?

Well, you either need to replace the battery or the UPS. The batteries are pretty common and probably cost less than a new UPS.
As Dave and I said, batteries lose capacity over time, and you probably don't want to buy a new UPS every time that happens.
You sound like you want a definitive answer though, so: Replace the battery!
Cheers,
Sebastian

Compaq E500 running Windows 98SE with built in Infrared that gives an initialization error when opened. What I know:
The original default on an E500 for the Infrared Device is COM3 at address 3E8.Debug shows: F8 03 00 00 E8 03 00 00 – 78 03 00 00 00 00 27 02. So COM1 is 3F8, COM2 is a working Modem, COM3 is 3E8 (Infrared?), COM4 is a mystery. When Infrared is enabled in Windows, serial COM4 is detected as free, but when Infrared is disabled, serial COM4 is not found. This links Infrared with COM4? Infrared Device should be looking for the COM3 address, but instead seems to be associated with COM4. The diagnostics tab in Modems Properties shows COM4 has no address settings. COM3 cannot be found to exist with Modem Doctor or other such programs, but exists in debug, registry, win.ini, etc. There are no IRQ, or other type conflicts. Is this a com port issue, a driver issue, or both?

It's a driver issue. Devices in the Windows world are software entities; what they're communicating with is irrelevant. Perhaps HP/Compaq support can shed some light on the problem. In my own recent experience, I bought a HP printer and found that none of the drivers supplied worked with Windows 2003 Server. When I called I was told that their printers are intended for home PCs, not servers (I have a server at home). With a little persistence I got them to admit to a secret website where they host a driver for Win2k3 Server; why it's secret I don't understand, but it's there, and the driver works. The point of this is to suggest that, even though the machine and OS may be obsolete, with a little patience and cajoling you might get them to admit that they have a fix you can download.

Thanks for the definitive answer. I will refocus on the drivers. I tried the trick of reinstalling the Fast Infrared Protocol suggested by Microsoft (didn't work), so that is out of the way. I can move on to the main driver possibilities now.

Have you found a solution yet? I'm just curious. A lot of these threads just die without a solution posted, which means that the poster found a fix (best case) or gave up trying (worst case). But since other members might have similar problems it's always good to post a closing comment just so the rest of us can learn from your expeience. I do hope that you found a fix... and please share it with the group.

Roger,
The answer was as you said, it is a driver issue. I installed the IPX/SPX protocol in networks and three additional files were extracted from the CAB. IR works fine now. However, I notice that if IRMON is unchecked in the Startup, right-clicking and sending to Infrared Recipient produces a null result, the system just hangs. Only opening Infrared Monitor from control panel makes IR Transfer operate when IRMON is not a startup item. Is this because of driver dependencies, i.e. IRMON needs to be loaded during startup and not after startup?

I'm guessing here, since I haven't worked with this, but I know that IR interfaces are not intended to be permanent. Like USB, the IR port can be hot swapped. IRMON probably polls the port periodically to see if anything infrared is walking by, then tries to connect if a device is detected. Without this service running the port is likely dead and the OS isn't listening to it. It sounds like IRMON performs a function similar to NTDETECT to discover devices on the port and register their presence. If it isn't running, attempting to send data would would probably hang things up, as I would expect if you tried to write to a serial port that isn't in the machine.
What I find interesting is that you had to install an obsolete networking protocol to get the proper functions installed. That's weird, and I would never think to look there. Good discovery!

Hi All,
I have .Prn file which was generated out of PCL printer.I need to find a string in that file and then I have to replace it with another string.
Iam able to do it by using stream writer,streamreader,Binary reader,binary writer and file streams.
But if gave a print(LPR)for it, it get failed and giving me syntax error as Illegal tag.
If I print original file it is printing very well.
I came to know that while writing it has lost some of its originality ,so it was failed
The original file size is like 16k, after the editing it becoming as 22k..
more over it is not normal file,It is a file generated by PCL printer.
So may be during the conversion it is losing printer supported font.
so that's the reason printer cannot understand the file(after editing)to print.so it gives syntax error as Kernel and Illegal tag error.
I even cannot compare both file because the file is generated by PCL printer which has some non-readable data
I have no clues to overcome this problem
Please help me
Thanks in advance

There is no such thing as non-readable data if you can access the file; it just depends on how you read it. What are you using to edit the file? Swapping out a bit of text shouldn't increase the file size by 6k! You mention streamreader, Binary reader, etc, so I assume you're writing your own editing app. What language are you using? There are some interesting differences in the way various languages handle text - you may be getting invisible CRLF characters appended to your edits, for example, which will totally screw up the file format. A little more detail would be helpful...

Iam Using c#.net,I made the following 2 methods for it
First Method:
public void writetofile(string JobOwnerName, string genfilename)
{
try
{
string fileContent = string.Empty;
string NewOwnername = "@PJL SET JOBATTR=" + '"' + "@JOAU=" + JobOwnerName + '"';//@PJL SET JOBATTR="@JOAU + JobOwnerName + "
string strTextFileName = genfilename;
string strTextToInsert = NewOwnername;
ArrayList lines = new ArrayList();
StreamReader rdr = new StreamReader(strTextFileName);
//String search_str = "%-12345X@PJL JOB";
//String search_str = "%-12345X@PJL JOB MODE=PRINTER";
String search_str = "@PJL JOB MODE=PRINTER";
string line;
string s = "@PJL SET JOBATTR=" + '"' + "@JOAU=";
while ((line = rdr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
if (line.StartsWith(s))
{
lines.Remove(line);
}
else
{
lines.Add(line);
}
}
rdr.Close();
lines.Insert(lines.IndexOf(search_str) + 1, strTextToInsert);
StreamWriter wrtr = new StreamWriter(strTextFileName);
foreach (string strNewLine in lines)
wrtr.WriteLine(strNewLine);
wrtr.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
2nd method:
string JobOwnerName = "suman" + '"';
string path = @"C:\D.prn";
string temp = @"C:\DD.prn";
string test1 = "@PJL SET JOBATTR=" + '"' + "@JOAU=" + JobOwnerName + '"';
string s = "@PJL SET JOBATTR=" + '"' + "@JOAU=";
string line;
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(File.Open(path, FileMode.Open));
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(File.Open(temp, FileMode.Create));
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
line = sr.ReadLine();
if (line.StartsWith(s))
{
line = line.Replace(line.Substring(line.IndexOf('"') + 7), JobOwnerName);
sw.WriteLine(line);
sw.Write(sr.ReadToEnd());
break;
}
else
sw.WriteLine(line);
}
sw.Close();
sr.Close();
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir,
Kindly go through the above methods I have developed..
Kindly help me Iam waiting for your favourable reply

I guess your problem is the replacement of linefeeds and newlines with an incompatible alternative. You know, just like you have to choose "ASCII-Transfer" in your FTP-Tool so that notepad.exe can show the config-files of your linux-server correctly.
You need to preserve the whitespace. Try reading binary, replacing a single letter, then writing the otherwise unchanges binary result back to a new file. You have reached your goal as soon as the two files afterwards are of the same size.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi all,
I recently got a hold of a USB bluetooth dongle and have been able to interface it with a phone to transfer media. Very cool. But as a huge nerd my next thought is "What else can I do with this thing?"
I'd like to be able to get another dongle and just run information between two points. This is a stepping stone for another group of wireless projects that are in mind, but the basics need to be covered first.
So I have a bank of questions that hopefully lead me in the right direction:
The dongle I have came with drivers to run the device. Things like bulk transfers, file transfers, pairing with different device profiles, everything. There's an interface that can be brought up that lets you connect to devices that you've trusted in the past. I understand the hardware inside the dongle could be nonstandard. Is there a way for me to get at the code in these drivers and see how these types of operations are done?
The device is obviously a USB device, so info and commands should be able to be sent to the port itself and whatever hardware is attached to it. Haven't seen much in the way of sending data to a USB port. Any help there?
Finally, short of any other solutions, is there some kind of development kit out there that allows complete noobs like myself develop applications to send information off the wire?
Thanks a ton for your time--I really appreciate coming on here and getting answers for obscure questions 
Take care,
Michael Fritzius

I look forward to seeing what replies you get - I'm clueless, too. I've got a Motorola 'Bluetooth Enabled' phone, and I can think of a lot of things to do with it. But the only thing I can find that is supported is a wireless connection to a headset. When I got it I had hoped to find a Bluetooth adapter to give me a port on my computer so I can code things like address book replication, autodialing using my PC mouse, GPS access. etc. But so far I've found nothing but headsets...

I look forward to replies too. Didn't want to post in a more frequented forum and be way off topic though so who knows when someone will give an answer
Also, I tried that same kind of operation with my phone. I've got a Samsung C417 and it turns out that the bluetooth on that phone has been crippled down to only operate with the headset profile. My wife's phone does all the fancy stuff that I wish my phone did. Perhaps your Motorola is of the crippled down variety. Do you have a way of testing against another dongle or something on another computer?
|
|
|
|

No, I haven't even found a dongle. And I have no reason to expect that Motorola included anything useful in the phone's firmware. I suspect that if I want to do anything useful, I'll have to write it myself. Still, it would be fun to experiment with, if only I could find a device to communicate with.

Hey Roger. There's a bit of a problem with Motorola Phone and Bluetooth. Apparently, they didn't do a good job of implementing the Bluetooth standards. It's only partially complete and really doesn't support much beyond audio/mic profiles, depending on the phone.
Where did I find this out?? A hearing aid manufacturer, of all places. They make a Bluetooth adapter to interface between hearing aids and cell phones. They told me their box works with just about every phone that supports Bluetooth, EXCEPT Motorola's! Then they went into a little bit of an explanation of why. It was very disappointing.

Hi Giorgi,
Thanks for the links. I got to looking at your stuff and other things that are similar. I think it has got me pointed in the right direction but I'll need time to figure out the code.
If I have any other questions would you mind if I email you directly?
Thanks,
Michael Fritzius
