Spectrum Wave2 router and Sip?
by David Mehler 04 Jun '19

04 Jun '19

Hello, I apologize for the multiple posting, but I'm hoping someone out there can help me. Does anyone have Spectrum as their internet provider? If so, do you have their newest Wave2 router? It's the RAC2V1A Arris (TR4400-AC). If all this is yes or you can help me anyway, I am trying to get out to my server and use asterisk. My internet server is cloud based and has a public IP address. My IP here is also public and maybe static I don't know it hasn't changed in a while, but the router see above gives out 192.x.x.x addresses as it should. Here's the question, the point to all this, I am trying to get sip going so I can do more than connect and disconnect and can actually here some audio. There's some passthrough options under advanced, > wan, > nat passthrough, I've got the relevant ones on they were on by default I dchanged them to off didn't make a difference so I returned them to the default values. My current theory and I'm not sure why this is needed with the passthrough is I have to forward a port range from the router to my phone, which has a dhcp-statically assigned ip address. How do you navigate that form? It is a nightmare and I don't know the values to put in it. Any help appreciated, if you think necessary please email privately. Thanks. Dave.

screen reader accessible way to SSH into linux
by Chamandeep Singh Grover 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hi All, I need to connect to an Amazon EC2 linux instance and wanted to know what the most accessible way with a screen reader is. I'm relatively new to this and i thought Putty would be a good option, but even after installing the jaws scripts, the terminal feedback isn't great. Is there a tool which shows the output as a read-only textbox, so if there is a lot of output it is easier to navigate through it? One of the common things i struggle with when using cmd for instance is reading long output, so i end up writing to file instead. I hope someone can suggest something good as this is something I will need to do more often. Kind regards, chamandeep Singh Grover

Hi, I just tested this on my bt homehub and it does log when it turns back on that there was a power reset. I however do not see anything similar on the business hub.

BT business hub logs for turning on and off
by Chamandeep Singh Grover 28 Apr '19

Hi All, I am looking at a BT business hub here in the UK and I wanted to find out when this router has been manually turned off and back on again. I have just reviewed the event logs, but there does not seem to be any clear indication of this information. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can find this information? Kind regards, Chamandeep Singh Grover

JAWS is not responsive on the browser after using NVDA
by Anatoliy Shudrya 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Hello everyone, Probably not a sys admin topic, sorry. I have tried posting this to the JAWS list but maybe admins use different screen readers more often and can relate. I have been long time user of JAWS and it seams to me that the problem that I experience started with the latest windows and latest browsers. JAWS would stop reading anything on the browser after I make a switch from different screen reader such as NVDA. I am visually impaired and use both screen readers to navigate on the webpages. Sometimes NVDA would read things that JAWS won't and vice versa. So, for example in the middle of my cession on the web browser, I would decide to switch to NVDA, turn off JAWS, turn on NVDA, get my business done with NVDA and then turn on JAWS back again. After this series of steps JAWS would not read browser window no matter what, the only way to have JAWS read the browser window is to close it down and restart it. Many times it is impossible because I am in the middle of application fill out, purchase order or configuration page. I have tried to refresh the page, using insert escape to no avail. Using tab won't help as well. Tried to turn off and turn on JAWS several times, still no luck. Has anybody experienced similar kind of behavior with JAWS? Is there any trick getting it back to read? I get this with Chrome, Internet Explore and Firefox. Latest Win 10 Pro. OS and latest browsers. Also noticed that it happens often on the heavy coded pages with lots of JAWA code and forms. Any help appreciated. Anatoliy
