Ethernet Cable - Color Coding Diagram

The information listed here is to assist Network Administrators in the color coding of Ethernet cables. Please be aware that modifying Ethernet cables improperly may cause loss of network connectivity. Use this information at your own risk, and insure all connectors and cables are modified in accordance with standards. The Internet Centre and its affiliates cannot be held liable for the use of this information in whole or in part.

T-568A Straight-Through Ethernet Cable

The TIA/EIA 568-A standard which was ratified in 1995, was replaced by the TIA/EIA 568-B standard in 2002 and has been updated since. Both standards define the T-568A and T-568B pin-outs for using Unshielded Twisted Pair cable and RJ-45 connectors for Ethernet connectivity. The standards and pin-out specification appear to be related and interchangeable, but are not the same and should not be used interchangeably.

T-568B Straight-Through Ethernet Cable

Both the T-568A and the T-568B standard Straight-Through cables are used most often as patch cords for your Ethernet connections. If you require a cable to connect two Ethernet devices directly together without a hub or when you connect two hubs together, you will need to use a Crossover cable instead.

RJ-45 Crossover Ethernet Cable

A good way of remembering how to wire a Crossover Ethernet cable is to wire one end using the T-568A standard and the other end using the T-568B standard. Another way of remembering the color coding is to simply switch the Green set of wires in place with the Orange set of wires. Specifically, switch the solid Green (G) with the solid Orange, and switch the green/white with the orange/white.
Ethernet Cable Instructions:

1. Pull the cable off the reel to the desired length and cut. If you are pulling cables through holes, its easier to attach the RJ-45 plugs after the cable is pulled. The total length of wire segments between a PC and a hub or between two PC's cannot exceed 100 Meters (328 feet) for 100BASE-TX and 300 Meters for 10BASE-T.
2. Start on one end and strip the cable jacket off (about 1") using a stripper or a knife. Be extra careful not to nick the wires, otherwise you will need to start over.
3. Spread, untwist the pairs, and arrange the wires in the order of the desired cable end. Flatten the end between your thumb and forefinger. Trim the ends of the wires so they are even with one another, leaving only 1/2" in wire length. If it is longer than 1/2" it will be out-of-spec and susceptible to crosstalk. Flatten and insure there are no spaces between wires.
4. Hold the RJ-45 plug with the clip facing down or away from you. Push the wires firmly into the plug. Inspect each wire is flat even at the front of the plug. Check the order of the wires. Double check again. Check that the jacket is fitted right against the stop of the plug. Carefully hold the wire and firmly crimp the RJ-45 with the crimper.
5. Check the color orientation, check that the crimped connection is not about to come apart, and check to see if the wires are flat against the front of the plug. If even one of these are incorrect, you will have to start over. Test the Ethernet cable.

Ethernet Cable Tips:

• A straight-thru cable has identical ends.
• A crossover cable has different ends.
• A straight-thru is used as a patch cord in Ethernet connections.
• A crossover is used to connect two Ethernet devices without a hub or for connecting two hubs.
• A crossover has one end with the Orange set of wires switched with the Green set.
• Odd numbered pins are always striped, even numbered pins are always solid colored.
• Looking at the RJ-45 with the clip facing away from you, Brown is always on the right, and pin 1 is on the left.
• No more than 1/2" of the Ethernet cable should be untwisted otherwise it will be susceptible to crosstalk.
• Do not deform, do not bend, do not stretch, do not staple, do not run parallel with power cables, and do not run Ethernet cables near noise inducing components.

Basic Theory:

By looking at a T-568A UTP Ethernet straight-thru cable and an Ethernet crossover cable with a T-568B end, we see that the TX (transmitter) pins are connected to the corresponding RX (receiver) pins, plus to plus and minus to minus. You can also see that both the blue and brown wire pairs on pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are not used in either standard. What you may not realize is that, these same pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are not used or required in 100BASE-TX as well. So why bother using these wires, well for one thing its simply easier to make a connection with all the wires grouped together. Otherwise you'll be spending time trying to fit those tiny little wires into each of the corresponding holes in the RJ-45 connector.

How To Connect Two Monitors in One Computer

In many professions, including graphic design, architecture, communications, accounting, engineering and video editing, the idea of two or more monitors being driven from one machine is not a new one. While in the past, it has meant multiple graphics adapters and specialized software, it was common for engineers to have at least two, if not more, displays to enhance productivity.

Now that multiple-monitor setups are more budget-friendly, it is not uncommon to see a wide range of business professionals using multiple monitors to increase visual area. This advantage helps promote the concept of a paperless office by increasing the quantity of simultaneous media that can be viewed digitally, although the advantage of viewing two documents simultaneously is also feasible on many larger widescreen monitors.

How to Earn from the internet?

There are several ways to earn from the internet. But you have to remember that there is no special trick or quick rich set up to do this. If anyone says that they have a product that will let you earn while just sitting around after buying their program, then most likely its a scam. To earn from the internet takes effort and time as well as knowledge on how use the internet for your advantage.

Some ways to earn from the internet are the following:

Blogging - this would be making post from time to time. You can place ads in your blog and earn from them.

Paid to click - there are several sites that pays you when you click some ads. Though they do not pay that high, but this is the easiest way since all you have to do is click.

Affiliate Marketing - certain sites will accept you as a member to become an affiliate marketer. You don't need to have a product of your own to sell. You simply sell the products of others and earn commission for every sale.

Article Writing - several sites pays you to write articles. You simply submit to the site articles that you write basing on different categories and once accepted they will pay you depending on how good your article is.

There are still a lot of ways to earn from the internet. Basically, what is needed is your time and effort. Just like any work, you need to devote time and effort to be successful.

9 TIPS to keep your computer healthy and safe

By following this 9 tips you can make your computer healthy and safe always.

1. Run Windows Update for Windows XP and 2000. Make sure Internet Explorer and other browsers are updated to the latest versions.

2. Connect your computer to a hardware firewall, or run a free firewall program such as Zone alarm. This will ensure that hackers do not intrude your computer using newly discovered Windows vulnerabilities. If you use a hardware based firewall, make sure that only ports of services you need are enabled (such as web browsing - HTTP is port 80). Many of the firewalls for home use allow all ports to be open by default - you turn off services by entering ranges of ports to be blocked. (See the instruction manual of your firewall).

3. Install adware detection programs, such as Adware or SPYBOT: Search and Destroy, which are free for download. Run these at least every other day if you are an active web surfer, constantly doing research or shopping online.

4. Run anti-virus software and make sure virus definitions are set to automatically update or you should check for updates, manually. If your anti-virus subscription has run out, uninstall it, and install AVG Anti-Virus by www.Grisoft.com for a free personal edition (Do not run this on your work computer without paying for it!).

5. If you have an older computer, investigate any suspicious "whirring" noises. A hard drive that is making a very loud "whirring" noise may be aging and damaged by heat - consider replacing it soon. Also, make sure that all fans are running properly, inside, and that there are no large collections of dust on the motherboard, PCI cards, or the fans. If so, be very careful in removing it. All power should be turned off, including removal of the power cord, as some motherboards maintain a small charge from the power supply even after the computer is actually turned off.

6. Run the Windows XP / 2000 disk defragmenter once per month. This allows for data files to be stored with each segment next to each other in order, on the disk. Without defragmenting, Windows will store data where ever it finds space, but many times it will store pieces of a data file in many different areas on a hard drive. This is how it was designed. It is faster for Windows to store data in just anyplace it can, without having to think about storing everything close together - that apparently would be too much logic to be used at one time and slow down the immediate saving of files (this is *only* my guess).

7. Make sure programs and drivers are updated. If everything seems to be working, check for driver updates once per year.

8. This is not necessarily related to your computer's health, but before if it ever does get sick, it is good to make sure that you are getting regular backups. Try backing up your My Documents folders and files to a CD every month and carefully label and store it away. If it seems to be too much hassle to burn a CD, try getting a USB memory device and backup your files to this once in awhile, though these are not as reliable as a CD backup (they are prone to problems with static electricity and breakage), they are better than no backup at all.

9. Use a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) to ensure that your computer gets good voltage and is not turned off when the power hiccups. Also, make sure you do not turn off your computer abruptly - always go through the Start button and shutdown or control-alt-delete, click shutdown sequence to ensure that your computer is shut down as graceful as possible.

Five tips to help keep your passwords secret

Treat your passwords with as much care as you treat the information that they protect. Use strong passwords to log on to your computer and to any site, including social networking sites. where you enter your credit card number, or any financial or personal information.

 

1. Never provide your password in an email or in response to an email request.
       * Internet "phishing" scams use fraudulent email messages to entice you to reveal your user names and passwords, steal your identity, and more. Learn more about phishing scams and how to deal with online fraud.


2. Do not type passwords on computers that you do not control, such as those in Internet cafes, computer labs, kiosk systems, and airport lounges.
       * Cyber criminals can purchase keystroke logging devices that gather information typed on public computers, including passwords.
       * If you need to regularly check email from a public computer, consider using Hotmail, which allows you to obtain a single-use code. To get a single-use code, click Sign in with a single-use code, and Hotmail will send a one-time use authentication code to a mobile phone. You can opt to use the one-time code, instead of your password, to access your account on a public machine.


3. Don't reveal your passwords to others.
       * Keep your passwords hidden from friends or family members (especially children), who could pass them on to other, less trustworthy individuals.


4. Protect any recorded passwords.
       * Don't store passwords on a file in your computer, because criminals will look there first.
       * Keep your record of the passwords you use in a safe, secure place.


5. Use more than one password.
       * Use different passwords for different websites and services.

Protect your e-mail with a password

You can access e-mail from multiple e-mail accounts, but Windows Live Mail isn't meant to be used by multiple users on a single Microsoft Windows account. Signing out of Windows Live Mail doesn't prevent other people from accessing your e-mail on the current Microsoft Windows account. Anyone who opens Windows Live Mail in a particular Windows account can see all of the e-mail accounts that have been added to Windows Live Mail, not just their own e-mail account, without entering a password.

 

You can't create Microsoft Outlook Express e-mail identities (A method used in Outlook Express that allows multiple people sharing the same computer to keep their e-mail separate. Identities aren't used in Windows Live Mail.) in Windows Live Mail. Instead, to protect each user's e-mail with a password, create a separate Windows user account and password for each person who wants to use Windows Live Mail on the computer. Each user will then be able to log on only to their own Windows account and access only their own Windows Live Mail e-mail accounts.

 

For more instructions about how to create a new Windows account and password for each user on your computer:

    * If you use Windows XP, click Start, click Help and Support, and then search for Create a new user account.
    * If you use Windows Vista, go to the Windows Vista Help website, and then search for Create a new user account.

How to solve the Blue screen error (dump error) in Windows Operating System

That happens because of the error in the hard disk due to improper power shutdown.

 

 

Fix the errors by using the disk check tool that is already available in Windows XP.

 

If the above said does not solve then the only solution is to format the system and re-install the Operating System.

Windows OS Startup issues & solution

All most all of the people are currently using Windows XP Operating system itself. Being a users it is better to know about the configuration settings of the OS.

 

Ample knowledge on Regedit & MS-Config is a bit essential for everybody.

1.  After successful installation of many programs like yahoo messenger, Google talk, Skype , Nero, real one player and many more , default they comes to startup which takes a lot of memory (RAM usage) which results in the decrease of system performance also. In order to solve such issues one must use MS-CONFIG

Steps:
START--> RUN --> MS-CONFIG --> STARTUP tab --> Remove the check box of the concerned application and "apply". Better to restart the system after applying the modification.

This disables the applications in startup which helps in saving memory.

2.  Most of the software applications like Oracle, Hyperion, Visual studio are registered with the system files. So uninstalling the application is not completely removing from the system as they are registered with system files. So better remove it from windows registry.

Steps :
START-->RUN-->  REGEDIT--> Search for the required software component and delete it from right side of the panel. Be careful before deleting as they are all sensitive components of the system.
We can enable & disable the usage of USB and other ports using this regedit. we can manage the whole operating system using this regedit.

3.  Better to use windows XP rather than Vista as it requires more memory (RAM) . For the people who are interested in Vista Environment there are some themes available in the internet where the environment appears as VISTA in the XP itself. But it also use more memory (RAM) but not as vista.

5 Tips to Recover Data from a Crashed Computer

The hard drive has the shortest life expectancy of all components, but when it inevitably fails it’s always when you least expect it.

It’s an inevitability, and it always happens when you’re least prepared – the hard drive crash. Sure, you might notice it’s taking a bit longer to boot, or there’s an occasional click that just doesn’t sound right, but it’s still a surprise the day your computer fails to boot.

How do you get your data off that hard drive once it’s no longer able to boot? Is it still possible? This depends on what exactly went wrong with your drive. It is safe to assume, however, that will the proper method, you will be able to retrieve at least part of your lost data.

Below are five different methods for getting documents, pictures, and other important files off a crashed hard drive.

1. Use an External Case
This method is the most simple available, and for many people it is also the solution they need. Simply purchase an external hard drive case that allows you to plug your hard drive into a computer with a standard USB cable. Remove the crashed hard drive from your computer and carefully insert it into the external case (make sure you ground yourself before touching it), then plug it into a different system and try to open the drive. There’s a good chance you’ll be able to navigate into your documents and other folders and copy them onto a different hard drive.

2. Use a LiveCD
Don’t have access to a second computer for doing as you please? This method will be ideal, then. You’ll need to get temporary access to a computer with Internet and a DVD burner. Download a Linux LiveCD – Damn Small Linux is the smallest, but also has issues mounting hard drives. The most simple for an average computer user would be Puppy Linux. It has a larger file size, but should recognize your drive.

Burn the Live CD ISO to a CD and insert it into your computer (the one with the crashed hard drive). Restart the computer and when it the computer logo appears, press F2 (or whatever key for your system) to enter BIOS. Change the boot sequence to CD first, Save and then Exit.

The Live CD will start, simply follow the directions on the screen–don’t worry, nothing is being done to your hard drive. The OS will start, and you should see your hard drive mounted on the desktop–something like “60GB”, etc. Plug in a second drive and copy and paste the folders over.

3. Data Recovery Software
Do the above solutions have your head spinning? If you want something a little less complicated, you may want to give recovery software a go. There are a number of different free recovery tools available, and you may be one of the lucky users who have success with the programs.

There are a large number of programs available, but the quality of each varies. A good place to start would be Data Disc Recovery–it’s free, easy to use, and works on crashed drives (it can also retrieve deleted files and others). If one doesn’t work, try a different one.

4. Freeze It
This method surprises many, but it actually does work (depending on what happened to the drive). The idea is that freezing it will constrict loose parts long enough for the drive to work properly. Make sure you have a computer ready to plug the drive into and an external case. Place the hard drive into a baggy, seal it tightly, and put it in the freezer overnight. The next day, remove it from the baggy and put it in the external drive case. Transfer the data from the drive before it warms too much and crashes again.

5. Get a Pro
If all else fails, you either have to accept that the data is gone or, if the data is really important, take the hard drive to a professional. It will be expensive, but there’s a good chance a pro will be able to retrieve some of the data for you.

Simple tutorial to Secure your LAN

In this short tutorial where you will come to know the basics of LAN security. As far as LAN security is concerned firewalls, anti-viruses play an important role in it.Viruses can affect your pc or your entire network. Hence it is very important to ensure that your connection is secure.

Security of LAN is sub-divided in two parts.
* Manual security
