new home network
by Chamandeep Singh Grover 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Hi all, I am having some building work carried out at my house and since all the wiring is being redone, I wanted to take this opportunity to add a wired network. Essentially I am thinking to have a couple of connection points in each of the bedrooms on the 1ST floor and in the living and dining rooms as well as an office at the end of the garden. I am messaging here to get some guidance on accessibility of the network please. I have some basic networking knowledge and having discussed with some professionals, I have been advised to use patch panels, a central switch and ubiquiti wifi access points. In my family no one else deals with anything that relates to technology so I want to make sure that whatever I am having done is maintainable by myself in an accessible way. Does anyone have any experience with these access points and their admin panel accessibility? What are some other things I should be baring in mind to ensure an accessible and also an affective network? Perhaps the query isn't very clear above, but I'm basically looking for guidance on how to go about this and have a useful product at the end. Look forward to your replies. Kind regards, Chamandeep Singh Grover

Accessibility of Fortinet products
by Chris Nestrud 15 Jun '21

Anyone have any experience with accessibility of Fortinet products, particularly FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager? Using latest versions of JAWS and Chrome, I find many issues: clickable items not identified as such, unlabeled buttons, and tables not coded as tables, to name a few. I'd appreciate any tips from anyone who has had experience with this company or these products. Thanks, Chris

30 May '21

Hello, If I'm not wrong, this topic has been discussed before; however my search did not find any result. I used 3CX until now; however I have to setup a new solution. Basicly I need IVR/virtual operator and other known features. I have my own number and will connect it via sip. What do you recommend to manage in accessible way? I can deploy all linux based operating systems on cloud. Free solutions would be welcome. Thank you so much.

Ubiquiti accessibility
by Ben Mustill-Rose 10 May '21

10 May '21

Hi all, Does anyone on the list use Ubiquiti devices? I'm looking to rebuild a network around a Dream Machine and a handful of 6 lite AP's but would appreciate any comments around the accessibility of the UI before I buy anything. I see Ubiquiti have a demo setup for people to play with before they buy, but I've also read about a new UI that's starting to ship so not sure if the demo is of the old or new one. Any thoughts most greatfully received. Cheers, Ben.

Managing many Google accounts in one account
by Eigeldinger Simon 05 May '21

05 May '21

Hi All, We have, as I guess many offices/organisations have, many Google accounts for our users for phones. At the moment these Google accounts are normal personal accounts. We have the passwords for those accounts and our users know about that. We want to manage those accounts in one account if possible. So we can delete them without the users password or any other difficulties. Especially when users are gone and the phone number also has been disabled. Today we had the issue that the phone number was already deleted and we had pretty difficulties to delete the old account. We had to reactivate the corporate number to get the account deleted. Any ideas how to solve that problem? Greetings and thanks, Simon

Accessibility for Keri prox card system
by Kathryn Jedynak 03 May '21

03 May '21

Hello everyone: Currently at work we are using the keri prox card system to manage our employee proxs cards. The system is currently running on the windows server 2012 and I’m using NVDA as a screen reader. However, when I try to access the menues in this program the program closes. Also, I cannot OCR the screen with NVDA. It is telling me windows 10 OCR for NVDA is not available. Does anyone have experience with the system? If so, what are the accessibility recommendations? Regards, Kathryn
