Cisco Catalyst 3560-48PS SMI - Switch - 48 ports - EN, Fast EN - 10Base-T, 100Ba

The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series switches is a line of fixed configuration, enterprise-class, IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches in Fast Ethernet configurations that provide availability, security, and quality of service (QoS) to enhance network operations. The Catalyst 3560 is an ideal access layer switch for small enterprise wiring closets or branch office environments that are using their LAN infrastructure for the deployment of new products and applications such as IP telephones, wireless access points, video surveillance, building management systems, and remote video kiosks. Customers can deploy network-wide intelligent services, such as advanced QoS, rate limiting, access control lists, multicast management, and high-performance IP routing - while maintaining the simplicity of traditional LAN switching. Embedded in the Catalyst 3560 is the Cisco Cluster Management Suite (CMS) Software, which allows users to simultaneously configure and troubleshoot multiple Cisco Catalyst desktop switches using a standard Web browser. Cisco CMS Software provides configuration wizards that greatly simply the implementation of converged networks and intelligent network services.The Catalyst 3560 Series can provide a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones and Cisco Aironet wireless LAN access points, as well as any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device. Power over Ethernet removes the need for wall power to each PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost for additional electrical cabling that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and wireless LAN deployments. Taking advantage of Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Power Management, the 48-port version can deliver the necessary power to support 24 ports at 15.4W, 48 ports at 7.7W, or any combination in-between. Maximum power availability for a converged voice and data network is attainable when a Catalyst 3560 Switch is combined with the Cisco Redundant Power System 675 (RPS 675) for seamless protection against internal power supply failures and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to safeguard against power outages.The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series is available in the standard multilayer software image (SMI) or the enhanced multilayer software image (EMI). The SMI feature set includes advanced QoS, rate limiting, access control lists (ACLs), and basic static and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing functionality.

Cables To Go Velocity - Video / audio cable - component video / audio - RCA (M)

Velocity Component Video Interconnects from Impact Acoustics offer high-quality vivid detail and color for today's video and home theater applications. These cost-effective performance cables give you maximum picture and sound quality compared to ordinary "out of the box" cables. Low-loss 75ohm oxygen-free copper center conductors and foam dielectric provides improved picture quality and performance. Twisted pair oxygen-free copper wire and foam dielectric provide optimized audio clarity. The 100% Mylar foil and OFC braid shield protects against unwanted noise and interference. The color-coded molded connectors attach to an ultra flexible jacket allowing for easy installation and identification. The 24K gold plated, durable connectors ensure long lasting, corrosion-free connections. Component Video Interconnects connect video equipment with component video output jacks to televisions, projectors with component video input jacks. By using Component Video Cables, you bypass the TV's Y/C separator and Color Decoder, routing the color (Y Pr Pb) information directly into the TV's matrix decoder. By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly to a component video input-equipped display device, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is a vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.

Want To Watch TV On Your Computer?

I have always wanted to watch television on my pc or notebook. In fact, several years ago I purchased a tv tuner that plugged into my laptop with a USB connector. It worked, although the picture wasn?t great. But, I also needed cable access to a tv signal source, and that was a serious pain.

I travel a lot. There have been countless times that I?ve been stuck in a hotel room when some live event was on somewhere in the world, and I couldn?t watch it because the hotel just didn?t have the right channel. Or there would be some particular tv show I wanted to watch, which wasn?t available with the limited hotel services.

Another problem I had was that I spent a lot of time working in different countries, and often the local television was predominantly in a foreign language. Some of these countries had very limited cable or satellite television. Mostly I had no way of accessing tv programs in my own language, which in my case is English.

I always thought it would be fantastic if I could just plug in my laptop and watch whatever tv service and whatever channel I wanted whenever I felt like it.
Well, I just recently made a fantastic discovery! With the advent of high speed internet, improved computers, and the latest developments in software, it has now become possible to watch any television show you want, anywhere in the world. This includes live broadcasts of major sporting events.

You can now buy software which installs with a simple download onto your pc or laptop which allows you to view at least 3000 channels worldwide, includes a vast menu of foreign language programs. There are premium versions of the same software that will allow you to view over 4000 channels. Hardware of any kind for your computer is not required, unlike until quite recently, when you needed a tv card or an external tv receiver. What is even more remarkable is that you pay just a one-time membership fee for the software, and you can watch the tv channels for free - forever! There are no monthly fees, which is quite a significant saving.

Frankly, I can?t speak highly enough about the convenience and benefits of this software. It?s extremely simple to install and the software interface is very easy to operate. I strongly recommend you give it a try. The software manufacturer offers a money back guarantee, so you?ve got nothing to lose. It really is a no-brainer.

How To Avoid Getting Ripped Off When Choosing Computer Training School

If you are thinking about signing up for any training program with a computer training school anytime soon, don't spend a dime until you have gone thru this checklist.

1) Objective: I am surprised at number of prospective students who signed up without knowing why they are enrolling for the certification training program. Just the plain fact that one of your friends is doing it or you are in need of job doesn't mean that you should jump in and enroll. Knowing WHY you want to do it and how it is going to help you achieve your goal is of paramount importance. So spend some time and ensure you are enrolling for the right reasons.

2) Method of study- There are various options out there eg.classroom instructor led training, e-learning, virtual classroom, cbt, self study. Again choose the one which suits your personality, budgets etc. Each one has its own merits & a demerit, no one method is better than the other.

3) School: Don't just "Google' it and enroll. Take time out, go and visit the location, check out school facilities, hardware, financial aid etc.Make sure school is approved by State Body because in case school is facing financial difficulties after enrollment, state body may transfer you to another school without any additional costs.

4) Instructors: Don't be shy about inquiring about instructor credentials; this is so imperative and critical. Ask about how long person has been training, what their communication skills are like, have they got real time experience. Ask to see their evaluations from previous classes.

5) Cost of Training: Make sure you get total cost in writing, tuition costs, exam cost, practice exams etc. Make sure that there is no hidden costs and all inclusive covers everything. Compare costs with other schools offering in the same area. Ask about there retake policy, is there is additional cost for that, when can you take the class again, how many times etc

6) Pass Rate: Ask questions about student's pass rate, how many students have completed the training and have certified. Ask the school to show you the records of how many students have passed first time.How does school help if student doesn't pass or is having difficulty in certifying.

7) Refund Policy: Ask to see schools refund policy and if possible speak to students who may have dropped out and have requested refunds. You will have a fairly good idea about school refund policy. You can also check with Better Bureau and see if company has any derogatory information listed against them.

Above are few pointers which if followed will save you lot of headaches and grievances later.

Ranjan Arora has been involved in IT training for over 7+ years and is experienced with difficulties & challenges faced by prospective students.He has helped thousands of students in choosing right certifications and achieving their career goals. Knowledge Center Inc, is a IT premier training company offering certification and non certification training in Ashburn, VA & DC Metro area.

The computer virus that could take advantage of you

Do you know theres a brand new computer virus that can get into your computer without you knowing even if you have AntiVirus and AntiSpyware installed? And when you try to get rid of it, it totally wrecks your system?

I didnt know until a few days ago. On Thursday, the 25th of November (Thanksgiving), my computer was infected by a virus that literally took control of my web browser and wrecked my machine when I tried to get rid of it.

Let me tell you what happened...

After we were all done with our Thanksgiving dinner, I went online to do some quick research for my next article. But instead, I stayed up all night battling a virus from hell!

Shortly after I got online, my Norton Antivirus and my adware/spyware removal software Spyware Doctor, started going wild with notifications of a virus presence in my computer.

I immediately stopped doing what I was doing and got Spyware Doctor to scan my hard drive. Before long, it gave me a report about 196 infected files with Trojan and some other types of adware/spyware virus residing on my hard drive!

I was shocked when I saw that. Just the day before the computer was fine!

So then, I spent hours going through the whole procedure of removing the virus from my hard drive and soon it was clean. Or so I thought...

Heres what the virus was doing:

Everything looked normal. If you dont know much about website development, you may never notice that something was wrong. And thats really dangerous, because anything can happen once your system is infected!

As I continued with my research, I noticed something very strange. Many of the links that I clicked on, led me to one particular website that was filled with hundreds of different affiliate programs and products.

Regardless of what website I would look at, every single website had these links placed on specific key words and phrases, such as: money, internet marketing, data, webhost, home based business, business opportunity, work, and others. And all of the links would take me to this website with the hundreds of products. That was very unusual.

But when I looked at my website, much to my surprise I saw the same links on my site!

I couldnt believe it! The links did not exist in my html. But where were these links coming from?

Its my website. I wrote those webpages! I didnt put those links there. And yet when I looked at the website the links were there.

I called my sister and I asked her if she was seeing the same thing on her computer as I was seeing on my computer. She looked at my website and told me that she wasnt seeing any of those additional links, other than my usual links.

That made me realize that something was wrong with my computer. I saved the file that I was typing for my next article so I could devote my attention to finding a solution for this problem. A strange thing happened as soon as I hit the save button. The file reformatted itself. Hyperlinks were placed on all of the key words (as I already mentioned some) that were found in the file. But who placed those links?

When I clicked on the link, it took me to the same page with the hundreds of products. I got very scared because I felt like I was losing control of my computer. From my previous experience (but not as extreme), Ive learned that the virus always stays in touch with the hackers server, constantly transferring information about my activities gathered from the registry.

This looked like a very serious virus. So I immediately unplugged my Internet connection. This way, the hacker was no longer going to be able to pull information from my registry, and I was going to face the virus without any additional input by the hacker.

But regardless. I lost the battle. For THREE FULL DAYS I tried to remove the virus, but without any luck..

The Spyware Doctor narrowed it down to one trouble file, which was a type of Trojan that existed in my System32 directory. The Trojan was renaming itself every few seconds by randomly selected names.

Norton Antivirus said that this type of Trojan gave no visual indication that my computer had been infected. It was dropping a copy of itself with a randomly named executable file.

Every time the Spyware Doctor would find the Trojan, it was unable to locate it and it couldnt remove it. Thats because the Trojan already had a different name.

Also, what I found out was that I was never looking at my Internet Explorer browser. I thought I was, but I wasnt. I found a Java Script that was taking the source code from any website that I would go to, reformat it by adding the links to the selected key words and then display the new code in another window that was being generated by a remote server.

My original browser window was getting killed and I was looking at a cloned window with inserted links. That was happening with such speed that I didnt even notice it because of my fast Internet connection (cable modem).

After I unplugged the Internet connection, my computer was no longer functioning properly. I couldnt access my windows explorer window any more, I couldnt open my Internet Explorer window and I lost control over many other functions.

But each time I would turn the Internet modem back on, my computer would start to work fine. Only, the Spyware Doctor would give me a notification that over 40 dangerous files were immediately being downloaded into my hard drive.

The Trojan virus that I couldnt remove because of its re-naming capability was probably staying in touch with the hackers server. So I switched the Internet connection off for the last time and I shut down the computer.

Right now as Im writing this, I dont have a computer at home because I gave it to a technician to reformat the hard drive and try to save as many files as possible. Im writing this from another computer and I'm really worried that none of my files will be saved... that will mean months of work down the drain!

I have since learned that my antivirus and anti-spyware software would not protect me against the Trojan threat. I needed a firewall to protect me, and make sure my computer was invisible online.

Please, don't let this happen to you! Install a firewall on your computer so you can make your IP address invisible to hackers.

As I'm finishing this article two weeks after the virus attack, my Norton Firewall is working at full force. Every time a hacker tries to send Trojan files to my hard drive behind my back, a window in the bottom right corner pops us notifying me of the dangerous executable files being blocked from entering my hard drive.

I lost over 90% of my files but I've learned my lesson the hard way.

Computer Equipment Rentals

There are many companies that provide computer equipment on rent for home, classroom or office use. Every part of the computer may be rented such as processors, desktop monitors, LCD display monitors, plasma monitors, computer projector screens, printers, scanners, etc. Rentals are usually taken by organizations that want to conduct short-term businesses or businesses away from site. Even organizations that do not wish to invest capital for whatever reason may opt for renting computer equipment.

Rental companies advertise their wares online at competitive prices. Each company sets up the equipment at the venue. It is necessary to confirm the delivery and setup in advance of the schedule of the program. Set up includes installation of workstations, wiring them, installing software and checking. Installations can be customized according to needs. Operating systems, software, etc. can be asked as required.

When renting components, check for the warranties available. Most companies also provide free maintenance during the rental period. Renting companies provide replacement within a day. Spare equipment can also be provided upon demand. Verify what kind of support the renting company provides. Support is generally available 24 hours a day seven days a week and some companies also provide onsite technical assistance. To avail of support, opt for a rental company that is close to the venue of your organization.

Renting equipment makes sense, as it does not block capital for business. Rents can be terminated at any time without penalties. Computer equipments that are rented for business are tax deductible, adding further value.

Computer equipment is also rented by students for home use. Specific components like printers, scanners and projectors can also be rented, if one already has the computers.

Rentacomputer.com is one of the leading rental companies for computer equipments. It conducts most of its business online.

Laptop Computer Rentals provides detailed information on computer rentals, laptop computer rentals, computer projector rentals, desktop computer rentals and more. Laptop Computer Rentals is affiliated with Laptop Computer Sales.
