Switches
Today we decided to upgrade all of our switches here at S4. We have one HP PC 4000 series and two HP PC 2800 series.
We had to setup our PCs as TFTP servers first, then copied the old config files
(put 192.168.my.ip CONFIG annettecfg) then followed the instructions to download a new OS through the Telnet session to the switch. We have much to figure out yet, but it is amazing how
things start to make sense once the pegs begin to line up.
Also, the date was way off when telneting in, so I changed the Time Sync to SNTP, Unicast, 129.6.15.28, server version 3, 720 second intervals, and manual IP Config.
Blackberry Item
I did also find the other day that in order to synchronize calendar items in the Blackberrys here, we have to go into the calendar, click on the scroll button, go down to the second-to-last item on the menu there and choose "Options." The last item there is "Wireless Synchronization:" and that must say "Yes."

Blackberry Day
As we switch over to a BES, there are lots of questions right now about how to do things on the Blackberrys.
Move Icons
To move icons on the screen around, click on the button to get numbers and the scroll button at the same time to get a menu to move or hide or show all. Once you have chosen to move the icon, scroll to where you want, and click the scroll button again to release the icon. You can use this same menu to hide certain icons as well.
Add Bluetooth Device
Go into the Options menu and look for "Blackberry." Choose that, and once in the menu, push in the scrolling button to get a menu, and from there you simply choose to "Add a device." NOTE: You will have to have the bluetooth device on and in range of the Blackberry.
