Welcome John

Hi I'm John, I recently joined my present company Core to build up and diversify the business outlets, my background is M&E, Fire & security and data infrastructures. My reason for being on here alongside of obtaining and giving where possible information to assist the community, I have been in the industry for many years working for manufacturers, wholesalers and installers, having had my own business that covered most sectors of trades. Core who I am now with are looking to grow, and that is my task, so other than information giving and receiving, I'm looking for individuals and companies that would be interested in partnering with Core, I am currently working on two public tenders, which we need competent people / business to cover if successful, we as a business are also happy to assist anyone we can if they need extra staff or special assistance on things like data/fibre infrastructures. If anyone is interested in getting in touch, please do. Thank you for your time. John

same thing, different sim

I've £50 4g sim router for a project which chucked on the floor, I wanged my cheapo giffgaff sim into It failed to detect so I turned it off, when it was turn back on, it auto configured Numbers ain't brilliant but will be good enough to fire emails off a laptop...

Lol

dont use it but is the wifi 2.4Ghz. You may need to enable a seperate non 5Ghz access point. Can usually be set in the router. What BB / router is it. Sky and EE can be a pain

poss router stopping you try fixed IP address on the enforcer and open the ports required on the router 443 25000 25010 top of my head most admit couple of my jobs ive fitted a LAN card and used them home switches to route the network to the panel

Probably never, I've only 2 x 10270 & a hub. Not really sure if I like them

When is the hub or q70 going in

I've an Orisec CP-20 in my house, wired bell, speaker & 4 pirs The wireless keypad is shite, the wireless contact on the front has a pyronix magnet as the orisec one is shite. The app is shite, the udl software is also shite

Am I the only one finding Pyronix gear becoming more and more unreliable? I constantly seem to be having issues with them at the minute, particularly with the WiFi connectivity on Enforcer panels/HomeControl2.0 app. I've currently got yet another v11 WiFi issue. The panel says I'm connected to the internet, but pyronixcloud.com and HC2.0 say I'm not. This one's only been in 5 months from new - and that was to replace one that was faulty from the factory... I really am tempted to just switch everything to Orisec. The only reason I haven't yet is out of habit, but there's no point staying with Pyronix with the high level of issues I'm having...

Haven't done international but just use a site to site VPN and a central server.the door controllers will use local data if the link is temp lost

At home I have super fast up and download speeds, at work its abismal there is fibre in the street to the residents up the road, but they wont bring it onto our estate because there is a printer with a rented line and a stonemason with a rented line both paying £600ppm upwards (I could share but I dont want them on our network) We currently have a 3 mobile router for internet only but its no good for the 3cx because its not got a fixed IP. I may look at starlink if fibre doesnt happen soon

Bufferbloat would be my first thought. You can see the outbound ping is high underload and the "game" test is 4/5 Could look at QoS stuff on the kit you fitted?

Hi all, I'm currently mapping out a project for a corporate client with their headquarters here and three manufacturing/logistics hubs across different countries in Europe and Asia. They want a unified system where a manager can issue an access credential (RFID or mobile token) at HQ, and have it immediately active across all sites. My concern is the global database synchronization lag and how local controllers handle offline authentication drift if the WAN link drops mid-sync. For those who have deployed large-scale, cross-border access control: Do you rely on a heavy local edge database at each site that syncs periodically, or are you pushing for full cloud-managed controllers that talk directly to a centralized server? How do you pitch the balance between "Instant Sync" and "Local Survivability" to an IT department that is paranoid about bandwidth consumption and data compliance (like GDPR)? Would love to know what kind of network architecture or hardware logic you've seen hold up best for cross-continental deployments.

That’s an interesting take on the power flicking, @al-yeti. I hadn't closely tracked the on/off cycles, but now that you mention it, transient voltage spikes from messy electrical cutovers make total sense for blowing those sensitive port components. It's funny about TP-Link vs D-Link and the cheaper alternatives. I've noticed similar patterns—some of the generic units seem to have beefier component tolerances on the front end, or they just act as a hard fuse and die completely to save the upstream link, whereas others let the spike leak through and ruin the specific switch port. Are you guys adding any simple power conditioners or miniature UPS units at the head-end to smooth out those dirty power flips before it hits the PoE switch, or is that just overkill for smaller multi-site deployments?

The ping is a litttle high, not a gamer so cant comment. Also the upload latency is high, google says it's "buffer bloat" and to check your router Mine, ping is usually around 6ms

This is my home internet over wifi When at home I post shite on the internet whilst watching shite on the internet some netflix but mostly youtube This is my clients home internet over wifi- I did him 3 x ruijie access points & ruijie poe router Moans that call of duty is slow, Internet says , "a minimum of 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload is recommended" I may be able to get the ISP to tinker but I think he's moaning for the sake of moaning

starter toners 1500 page irrc

Inc toners? My HP and Brother ones are still going strong although v little use.

In a break with tradition, Kyocera £254 +vat

Yep, doesn't use DTMF, seems to be PWM @ 5v, open to suggestions though :)

I think you are right, I vaguely remember seeing one in the 90's, I think it used DTMF to talk to the panel I doubt the 8136 is the same protocol

I'm certain someone did a emulated 9100 keypad ?
