Welcome back to the final steps. These steps have nothing to do with wireless security. What they have to do with is protecting private date in your network should your wireless network be compromised. If you have followed parts two and three your wireless network is as secure as it can be. What if someone does get in? What I want to discuss now is what you can do to protect yourself should that happen. This is just an overview and not a step-by-step. This is food for thought. If you would like help doing this please come to my site and ask in the forum. I would be more than happy to go into detail on this.
Once an intruder is in your network they have access to all the resources in your network. I highly doubt you have a domain, but a workgroup network. This means the security has to be done on each individual workstation for them to be able to transfer data to each other. I don't know for a fact, buy I suspect this is why Microsoft made the security so wide open in Windows. If you had to set everything manually out of the box it would be extremely hard to get the computer to communicate with each other.
By setting default workgroup names, no passwords on administrative accounts and wide open shares people can network their computers together with ease. There is a big problem with this. Once someone is in your network they can get to your stuff with the default settings, There are two default settings to be concerned with the most. The default workgroup name, which has been the same for years, has been either "workgroup" or "MSHOME".
The default administrative password has been blank. With these two settings not changed, the intruder has absolute power over your network. They can steal data, lock you out of your network so you cannot get to your data, install whatever they want and do any damage imaginable. Here is a scenario of an intruder getting into the network and just how easy it is. I have done this with clients to show them and they take a whole new look on security after it has been showed to them.
The intruder cracks the security of your wireless network. He now has an IP address in your network. DNS does not matter at this point for the damage can be done with the IP address alone. He runs a ping sweep on your network. This is simply a script that pings every address in your IP address range and any computer that is on the network will respond. Once he gets a response from the computer(s) he knows which computer to attack. He sets the workgroup name on his computer to workgroup and reboots. He will then go to the IP address he found and try to access the default administrative share.
Here is what that would look like \\192.168.89.2\C$. He could not make a connection so he sets the workgroup name to MSHOME and tries again. He takes for granted the default password has not been changed so he leaves his password blank. This matches the administrator account on both computers. This time he has access to your C:\ drive. The $ symbol is just a share that is hidden and the default administrative share is on the root of C and shared as C$. He is in and has control. How can you prevent this?
Set a strong password on the administrator account and don't use it unless you need to make administrative changes. See PART1 for a tool to check the strength of passwords. Create an everyday user account with user privileges and set a password on that. You will have to create the same account with the same password on all the computers you want to share data with. The administrator account does not have to match, but they will not be able to administer the other computers. Next, change the workgroup name. Change it to anything, but not something easy like you last name.
This is the final steps you can take to secure your data. You can go as far as data encryption, but there is a lot of overhead in it and not as easy as it sounds. You do stand a chance of loosing date if something goes wrong.

A leading manufacturer of hard disk drives for enterprise, desktop, mobile computing and consumer electronics applications uses blocks of intellectual property (IP) in its next-generation disk controller application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Some of these IP blocks are used in several different products, making it an imperative that designs be exhaustively verified under all possible operating conditions prior to release.
In the past, the manufacturers' ASIC designers relied on digital simulation as their primary means of verifying IP blocks. They also employed automatic constrained pseudo-random testbench generation to construct thousands of different combinations of commands and data packets. Early in the design of a new compute-intensive IP block, the design architects calculated that it would take approximately 500 CPU-years to simulate all the test cases necessary to test this particular design. With a six month design schedule, it was clear that simulation alone would not be adequate. That's when the designers decided to evaluate several hardware-assisted verification platforms. This proved to be the ideal solution for delivering a quality product within the tight design schedule. In this case, the hard disk drive manufacturer selected EVE's ZeBu-ZV platform.
The IP design presented unique verification challenges. The block had a 32-bit interface, over which commands and data were loaded into the block using a packet-based protocol. Once set up, it then processed the data for about four seconds of real time, after which it presented the results over the same 32-bit interface. At an operating speed of 150 MHz, four seconds represented 600,000,000 cycles. The design team needed to run several hundred thousand of these test cases to fully verify the design.
On this project, a digital simulator/testbench generator combination was used for initial verification runs to prove basic functionality, using about 50 tests per command. Once this verification methodology was generally functional, the designers switched to the combination of the hardware-assisted verification platform and testbench generator, which enabled them to run thousands of tests for each command.
To maximize performance, synthesizable transactors were used as the interface between the testbench code on the PC and the emulated IP block in the verification platform. Transactors performed the conversion from high-level commands and data packets to bit-level signals using the hardware-assisted verification platform. The SCE-MI standard from Accellera defined how the transactors were written. They consist of an application program interface (API) on the software side to exchange high-level packets or messages, and a synthesizable bus-functional model (BFM) or state machine mapped onto the hardware platform.
To further accelerate simulation, the design team took advantage of a property of this particular IP block: The only interaction between the testbench and the IP block occurred during the initial setup of the test and the downloading of results at the end of the run. In between these two interactions, the design executed a large number of cycles with no external communication. The designers exploited this by making the verification platform run in lock-step mode with the testbench generator only during these interactions, and switching to a 15MHz clock supplied by the verification platform in between these accesses. To implement this solution, they changed the main clock of the design to switch between two inputs: the clock coming from testbench generation and a clock generated by the verification platform's on-board clock generator.
Using this hybrid approach, the testbench generator produced each new command and data combination, and then transferred the packet through a C function-call to the verification platform transactors. The testbench generator then switched the verification tool to the fast clock and initiated the test. It was able to run the tests at 15 MHz, equivalent to 1/10 of real time. In 40 seconds, the test would finish and it would signal the testbench generator that it was ready to present the result.
Meanwhile, the testbench generator was computing the expected results in software, using the same algorithms implemented in the IP block. Once the hardware-assisted verification platform and the testbench generator completed their respective runs, they would compare their results and flag any differences that occurred as errors.
The design team was surprised that with the first exposure to the system it took them only two hours to get their IP block compiled into the verification platform and running correctly. With a few more weeks of effort, the team had implemented and debugged the transactor interface and had the system running at 15 MHz.
In the first few days, the designers identified 25-30 new bugs in the design, which had escaped detection using simulation without hardware-assistance. In the five weeks to follow, they ran the hardware-assisted verification platform 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, generating hundreds of thousands of additional test cases. Through these runs, they found four additional bugs that were obscure corner cases related to specific sequences of commands. These bugs would have surfaced during product testing, but would have necessitated ASIC respins at a cost of $500,000 or more.
The designers of this hard disk drive manufacturer plans to continue running additional test cases on their hardware-assisted verification platform 24x7 until the resource is needed for another project. Since it takes only one hour per week to kick off new jobs and check the results of the previous runs, there is little reason not to run the additional tests for added confidence. Their hardware-assisted verification platform has become the keystone of their design strategy.
WAN boot is a "new" method for installing a machine running the Solaris Operating System from a Solaris JumpStart server over the network. WAN boot has a lot of enhancements compared to the "old" installation method via bootp and should be used for network installations if possible. (Note: WAN boot is only supported on machines with SPARC CPUs. You cannot use WAN boot on machines running the Solaris OS for x86 platforms.)
This article describes how to use WAN boot on machines that do not have WAN boot support in the OBP and cannot use a CD-ROM for WAN boot.
This method requires:
Access to the console of the machine
The Solaris OS running on the machine
Details
The only file that is necessary for WAN boot is /platform/`uname -i`/wanboot. Therefore, to get WAN boot from the disk to work, it is sufficient to copy the current version of the WAN boot binary from (for example) the Solaris Installation CD-ROM to the directory /platform/`uname -i` on one of the slices of any local hard disk of the machine.
The Steps
1. Configure the machine to install as a WAN boot client on your installation server.
2. Select one of the existing slices on one of the internal hard disks of the machine to install for the WAN boot binary. For example, this can be the existing boot slice or any other slice on the disk. You can also put the WAN boot binary on the disk on which you want to install the Solaris OS, because the disk is only used to read the WAN boot binary. After the WAN boot binary is read and executed, the disk is not used anymore for the boot process.
3. Make the selected slice bootable using installboot if the slice is not already bootable; that is:
If in doubt, issue the installboot command. (It won't hurt if the slice is already bootable.)
4. Halt the machine and issue the following boot command at the ok prompt:
ok> boot mydisk -o prompt -F wanboot - install
Here mydisk is the disk device (either a device alias or the real device name). If you use a slice other than the default slice for the WAN boot binary, the command should look like this:
ok> boot disk1:b -o prompt -F wanboot - install
Here disk1 is the device alias and the letter after the colon specifies the slice to boot from: a is slice 0, b is slice 1, c is slice 2, and so on.
5. After a short time, the normal WAN boot prompt should be printed and you can enter the necessary information for the WAN boot process and continue the WAN boot installation the normal way.
Example 1
Example 1 shows the machine output from step 4 in the preceding description. Note: Some output has been replaced with "x" characters.

01.The advent of the Internet made communicating with the rest of the world extremely easy. Instead of having to pay through the nose for a long distance phone call that lasts five minutes, an individual could simply type out an email message and send it to his or her friend's inbox in an instant. However, that technology has now gone one step further. You can now make actual voice calls over the Internet using a USB phone or headset. VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol and is one of the newer mediums of communication that involves opening a connection and dialling another user in order to have a conversation. It has revolutionized the way in which we communicate today and has made life easier for many businesses.
02.In terms of being able to make calls, you only need four pieces of equipment to get starter - a computer, software, the capability to connect to the Internet and a USB headset or phone. The latter is very important if you want to be able to talk to people on the other end! The majority of new computer operating systems have the ability to accept USB connectivity, thus making the USB device the device of choice.
03.A USB handset seems to be the choice of many a user for a number of reasons, including the following:
04.They are relatively cheap - USB headsets and headsets can be relatively expensive when it comes to purchasing a way and means of talking over the Internet. They are extremely fashionable and extremely desirable for business owners because they promote efficiency. As a result, USB phones happen to be a lot cheaper. They can be purchased for next to nothing in various stores. They do not have the operating system attached to the phone like a landline does, and that is what pushes up the overall cost. A USB phone therefore is less in terms of cost but you can get just as much out of it!
05.Tried and tested method of calling - Everyone knows how to use a phone. It is not difficult because the mechanism on every single phone is roughly the same. Sure, they have different features and can take a little figuring out as a result, but they are all basically the same. This makes the transition that little bit easier.
06.Ease of connection and use - With a phone, you just plug it in to the computer's USB drive, place the appropriate installation disk into the disk drive, follow the instructions and away you go! It really is that simple. If problems do occur, they can usually be solved b reading the troubleshooting section of the manual.
07.Personal comfort - The majority of people prefer to have a phone than a headset at their disposal. As we actively rebel against change, the phone is the best option because it will make the process of Internet calling much simpler an easier to get used to as a result of the familiarity.
08.VOIP is definitely the new trend in terms of easy communication and the USB phone definitely has its advantages and benefits, but how do you decide between those available for purchase on the market? If USB phones are associated with all of the benefits above then surely the brand and model you choose cannot make that much difference to you calling experience? Believe it or not, they can!
09.There are a number of things that separate the individual USB phones from each other and make it that little bit easier to choose between them, including:
10.The features - As with every technological innovation, some phones are better than others in terms of features. Some have the same functionality and capabilities as more advances telephones in that they have inbuilt volume controls, mute functionality, address book and so on. However, the majority of them do not have features quite this advanced yet and are simple to operate. Your choice would depend on how comfortable you are using a more complex USB phone. Consumer reviews may help you to decide what you do need and what you do not need, as well as how much you are willing to give up in terms of convenience and ease of use for features.
11.The system requirements - Some USB phones have certain system requirements. The general rule is that older systems cannot sustain the new phone systems, but newer computer packages should give you access to the whole range.
12.Visual appeal - Of course, the visual appeal of a VOIP phone always plays a part! If you like the look of a phone then you will be more likely to use it! As a race, humans are shallow so of course this will affect your choice.
13.Pricing - Some USB phones are much more expensive than others. This may play a part in your decision if you happen to be on a tight budget. Always compare pricing before you choose your phone because the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive is vast!
14.Deciding on a USB phone may not be easy but making the right decision can make the difference between enjoying the experience and truly hating it. Of course, this could then be the difference between using VOIP and returning to your regular landline connection!

Telephones occupy a higher plane in the scheme of modern telecommunications technology. One of the most important modes of remote communications, it presents people with a convenient and easy way to touch base with anyone who is not with them. Because of its importance, almost every home in the United States owns at least one line, while there is always a phone ringing in offices and businesses at any time of the day.
A newer, but still equally vital, communications channel is the Internet. Developed in the second half of the 20th century, its usage has caught wildfire in the last couple of years, effectively breaking some of the long-held traditions of doing things.
E-mails and instant messaging (or chatting) are used by top-level executives and rank and file employees. The Internet is also heavily used for sharing files, research, on-line shopping, and entertainment purposes.
Its primary purpose, however, is still communication.
A few years ago, the Internet-based phone service called Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) became a huge thing in the market. Considered a breakthrough in the communications technology, it has since won over subscribers and customers looking for an affordable way of connecting with friends and family, and of conducting business. Some people have even cut their telephone lines and shifted to VoIP.
VoIP is popular because it works just like your conventional telephone. However, VoIP relies on the Internet to transmit and receive audio data, in the process converting your voice digital audio data. This means that you will receive and transmit clearer digital audio data at a much faster rate.
The fact that it uses the Internet to transfer and receive digital data, makes VoIP calls much cheaper than the conventional landline phone calls. With the landline phone, a five-minute call can cost a lot of money. Internet voice calls of the same duration costs a fraction of the landline charges. Some VoIP phone providers even offer free long distance and overseas call.
Besides free phone calls, VoIP providers usually throw in extra phone features, such as three-way calling, caller ID, audio conferencing, video conferencing, call waiting and return call, in the package. Traditional phone companies also offer these services, albeit, with extra cost.
If you are interested in getting VoIP installed in your home, get in touch with the VoIP service providers nearest you. There are quite a number of VoIP service providers, so it is best to study all their packages and choose the one which suits your needs and requirements best. Even with you scrutinizing each provider, there is no guarantee that the one you chose will deliver what it promised in its sales pitch.
With many providers offering a trial period (usually 30 days), you may now test the quality of their services. If you are not satisfied, you can simply inform the company that you are no longer interested to use their services. If you do this within the trial period, you will be refunded.
Here are some things that can guide you in choosing the right provider. Look for one that offers maximum benefits to their clients, including free ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter), free or low cost IP phones, among other things.
For the best outcomes, choose the company trusted by your community. You can confer with your friends, colleagues to find out which service provider offers the best ones.
Aricle by Jessica Bradbury, you can learn more at her site on VOIP information, including VOIP phones.
IP Phone service allows you to make phone calls through Internet. You can reach anybody with a telephone number whether it’s a local, international or mobile number. Some services work only on the computer or through a special IP Phone while some others work even on the traditional phone with the help of an IP adaptor.
Apart from the Internet service charges there are no extra charges involved for the calls. There are a number of services that provide this kind of almost free IP calling. The most popular of them are Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, Skype, The Globe and Google Talk. However these free services have certain limitations. They require computer network and Internet or a special IP Phone.
There are many companies which provide commercial IP Phone services. Names of the service providers, their service features and tariffs are available on-line. These services allow an IP call even through the traditional phone lines. They connect an IP router, which is connected to the main router or the broadband modem at the service provider’s place, with the existing regular phone box at the customer’s place. This facilitates IP calls from a traditional phone even without computer network and Internet connection. But the problem is that when the computer network goes down there is no phone facility either.
The service provider charges for giving the connection. These charges include initial installation charges and the regular monthly service charges and or per call charges. The basis of charges differs from provider to provider. Some charge depending on the distance whereas some charge a flat rate for a fixed number of minutes irrespective of the distance. Some offer unlimited calls and unlimited talk time for a fixed monthly payment.
There are so many companies with varying service options and tariffs. Before choosing a particular service one should check the price range, features available and whether any technical support is offered. Also, one should check whether any emergency services are also provided and whether the IP phone number is portable with the existing landline number.
Even the paid IP Phone services are much cheaper than the regular phone call charges and prove especially economical for long distance calls. Due to the price war among the IP Phone service providers the customers can expect even more competitive prices.
There are only federal taxes on IP Phone services. The Federal Communications Commission, which regulates IP Phone services in USA, ruled that individual states have no jurisdiction to impose taxes on IP Phone services. This single point taxation helps the IP services stay cheap. Also, there might be only minimum regulation of these services for some time to encourage investment in broadband services.
IP Phones provides detailed information on IP Phones, IP Phone Services, Wireless IP Phones, IP Phone Systems and more. IP Phones is affiliated with VOIP Phone System.
A technological communication breakthrough, the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) can let you have voice conversations through a broadband Internet connection or any Internet Protocol-based network instead of a regular phone.
The other terms for the VoIP are: IP telephony, broadband telephony, Internet telephony, voice over broadband or broadband phone.
There are advantages in choosing to use VoIP over the standard phone line. You automatically receive phone calls once you get connected to the Internet, regardless of the network that you are using. Even during phone conversations, you can still access the other programs in your computer.
VoIP is also possible during road trips, you just use a mobile phone that can connect to the Internet. Incoming calls to your home will be treated as local calls wherever you connect to the Internet.
VoIP to VoIP calls are usually free of charge, which is a good advantage. But the VoIP user would be charged if he or she makes a VoIP to PSTN calls.
Stable Internet connection for VoIP service users is another advantage. This ensures faster access and delivery of good quality voice data.
There are other features in the VoIP services that are not available with the traditional analog phones. These include video conversation, conferencing, sending or exchanging files parallel to the conversation, managing your address book and more.
How does VoIP work? Through the VoIP service, your voice is converted to digital signals that pass through the Internet connection to a destination that you choose. Also, through this service, you can make calls by a computer or a VoIP phone. In case the computer is turned off, the standard phone line can be used to make and receive calls.
An important requirement obviously is that VoIP users should have a high speed broadband Internet connection.
The VoIP phone is plugged directly into the broadband connection and this can already be used just like any other traditional phone. But if you want to use your traditional telephone, you will need to connect it to a VoIP adapter. The dial tone will then be provided by the service provider. Remember that you would need the VoIP software and a microphone when you use the computer to make phone calls.
How does the VoIP system work for long distance or local calls? You would need an area code that may be different from the area code of where you reside.
This code would determine whether calls are long distance or local calls. If the person calling you is outside the area or the service covered in your VoIP, he will be charged for a long distance call.
But this could differ, depending upon the terms set by the VoIP service provider. There are some service providers who charge a fixed rate for a certain time limit regardless of the distance between you and who you call.
Who can you call with your VoIP service? This information would depend on the terms, conditions and services available of your VoIP service provider.
But you can call anyone who has a telephone or mobile number and this includes local or long distance calls. The person you are calling will no longer need any special device other than his phone to receive your VoIP call. You can also make simultaneous calls or conduct video conferences, again, depending on the terms and service of the VoIP provider.
One disadvantage of VoIP phones is that during power outage, some services are not available so some VoIP providers provide backup power. Another disadvantage is that you have be constantly connected to the Internet to make and receive calls.
But you can divert the call to an analog phone or mobile phone if you do not want to miss any incoming calls. You can also activate your voice mail box so your messages can still be received even when you can no attend to them.
It is advisable that you choose a VoIP service provider that offers the directory assistance or white page listings because not all service providers offer this feature.
Also, check with the provider if they can directly connect you to the emergency service 911. Nonetheless, calling 911 through your VoIP phone will be treated differently from that using the traditional phone. But what matters is that you are able to readily seek help at times that you need it.
Connection to any place around the globe is possible with the use of a VoIP phone.

VoIP is a service where voice data is transferred over the Internet just like normal Internet data traffic. VoIP is also known as Internet Telephony or IP telephony. When the Internet connection is a broadband connection, VoIP is usually referred to as Broadband Telephony. Whatever be the terminology used, VoIP phone service is a method of providing voice communication using the Internet infrastructure.
VoIP Phone Service uses the existing infrastructure already installed for the Internet and speech signals converted to digital audio are sent in the form of packets. VoIP services can be interfaced with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and calls can be made to another computer, mobile phone VoIP phone or an ordinary telephone.
The services provided by VoIP are similar to those provided by PSTN with call forwarding, call waiting, caller identification, automatic redial and conference call facilities on offer. VoIP has an advantage over regular telephony in terms of security - the audio content is split into multiple pieces of very short duration and sent over the Internet as packets. The packets need not be received at intermediate points in sequence. It is very difficult for anyone to intercept a conversation being carried on VoIP.
VoIP has become very popular over the last few years as it has become a low-cost voice communication solution with wide user acceptance and a large consumer base. The service providers do not have to bear the expenses of installing infrastructure in the form of cables and switching equipment as the Internet infrastructure is already in place. In PSTN, the service provides is required to digitize voice and transmit the data after conversion to digital signals. The Internet infrastructure already carries signals of this nature and this reduces the cost for service providers significantly. This extends VoIP telephone services to the customer at much more economical rates than PSTN.
Another benefit of VoIP service is that it makes your physical location immaterial. All you need is access to a computer to be able to call any number of your choice, even international numbers for the cost of a local call.
There are downsides to VoIP services - Internet traffic is inherently unreliable in nature and in congested networks, the chances of dropped packets are very high. In such conditions, dropouts in conversation are inevitable. This is in contrast to the dedicated and reliable channel of communication provided by PSTN. For the same reasons, VoIP telephone services are unable to match the Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees provided by the PSTN.

Today's business owners need to completely understand their current phone system before deciding if VOIP is right for them. Businesses that use older phone system technology may not appreciate how much money they're spending on long distance and phone company fees. VOIP and VOIP hybrid PBX systems have had a lot of publicity in the past few years, but are they the right choice for your business?
Positive Aspects Of VOIP
VOIP works completely different than traditional phone services because they do not rely on the phone company's copper wire network. Because of this, your company's monthly long distance charges are greatly reduced by using a VOIP phone system. Along with the decreased call charges, the costs to manage the network are nearly eliminated. VOIP offers may advanced calling features and enables your business's employees to access their phones while away from the office. Another advantage is that voicemail can be checked by telephone or computer.
Negative Aspects Of VOIP
The biggest problem with a VOIP system is its instability. If your company's internet connection goes down, the phone system will not work. Many companies cannot afford the chance that their phones will not work because they depend on phones for customer communication.
Positives Of A VOIP Hybrid PBX
VOIP hybrid PBX systems have become the best choice for small, midsized and big businesses. A VOIP hybrid allows the company to use the IP network and they won't need to pay long distance charges when talking with people all over the world.
The VOIP hybrid PBX systems allow companies to use either the traditional copper phone lines or the high speed internet for all their phone calls, unlike the VOIP system. The major advantage of this is that if the internet does go down, the company does not lose their phone system.
The dual capabilities of the VOIP hybrid PBX systems mean businesses save money on their long distance calls and that remote employees can have direct access to the main phone systems as if with a pure VOIP program. They also still have the security of a copper line system.
Ease Of Access With VOIP Hybrid PBX systems
Just like a VOIP system, a VOIP hybrid PBX system allows employees to use the company phone system with softphones. This means that employees can still receive telephone calls through the PBX system when they are working remotely or away from the office. Traveling or remote employees can use softphones to access their voicemail and can make their calls through the internet instead of the traditional phone system and will save money.
VOIP hybrid PBX phone systems use the internet for phone calls, which can save a significant amount of money like a pure VOIP system by combining the features of a VOIP system with the stability of a traditional copper phone line.

There are so many ways that a VOIP Hosted PBX can save you money I can’t begin to cover them all in a short space. However, here a few of the major cost saving aspects of a VoIP Hosted PBX system:
Cash Flow - Controlling cash flow is a major factor that determines the ultimate success or failure of any business, regardless if you are a start-up or an established business. Tight control over capital expenditures and operating expense is essential. On average, a VOIP Hosted PBX costs 20-40% less than a premise-based PBX. Also, CAPEX is minimized because you don’t have to “Buy the “Box”.
Additionally, because of the way premised based PBX systems are designed, you have no choice but to buy more equipment than you actually need to support your current requirements.
Sounds crazy, but it’s true. Why spend precious dollars now on equipment you won’t need until six or 12 months later or longer? A VOIP Hosted PBX allows you to pay as you grow. In other words, you only buy what you need to support current requirements.
Adding new employees to the system is fast, easy, and cheap. More importantly, you don’t have to pay for something until you actually need it.
If you are ever affected by a downturn in business, a VOIP Hosted PBX gives you the flexibility to reduce your expenses accordingly by reducing your telecommunications requirements with no penalty since you only pay for what you need, when you need it. Generally, you cannot do that with a traditional premise-based PBX without incurring some form of financial penalty.
Moves, Adds, and Changes - Unlike a traditional PBX, in a VOIP Hosted PBX environment, Moves, Adds and Changes do not require an on-site technician to make changes to your phone system. A VoIP Hosted PBX can be remotely configured by the provider, thus providing you with the flexibility to add, change, delete or move users within hours instead of days.
Eliminating costly monthly maintenance contracts will reduce your expenses because there is no need for a technician to visit your location every time you want to make a change. This is done remotely by the VOIP Hosted PBX provider, which also gives you with greater flexibility to respond quickly to changing business or market conditions.
Significantly Reduce Depreciation Losses - Traditional PBX systems depreciate almost 70% the day you install them. With VoIP Hosted phone service, you won’t have to worry about depreciation since you’re not purchasing equipment.
Although there are many other reasons that a Hosted PBX can save you money, such as reduced maintenance, elimination of the need to track and implement software patches, no requirement to maintain PBX equipment inventories, no vendor finger-pointing, and faster trouble resolution, the overall savings can be summed up by considering the Total Cost of Ownership of a traditional PBX compared to that of a VOIP Hosted PBX.
In the December 2005 issue of Business Communications Review, Ken Dolsky and Warren Williams of InfoTech published an in-depth analysis comparing the TCO/ROI of a Hosted PBX to that of a premise-based IP PBX for a single location with 50 users. They concluded for most instances, the Hosted PBX environment was the clear financial and performance winner. Even though their analysis shows a significant opportunity to reduce costs with a VOIP Hosted PBX, it is important to point out that the analysis did not not take into account large savings associated with increasing employee productivity and revenue using the Hosted PBX’s advanced features.
Here’s another piece of advice.
When you replace your traditional PBX with a VOIP Hosted PBX system, then plan on buying a bigger piggybank, too.

All you have to do is plug in the Ethernet cable to the IP camera, connect it to your existing network, assign an IP address, and follow the user's manual to set up your PC.
The Works
Most IP cameras support password protection, so that access to the camera is strictly confined to the defined user who has a user name and user password. You need not worry about hackers logging into your system and getting videos of your home, given that you don't give out your user name and password to anyone.
The IP camera comes with a motion detector so that when it senses movement from anywhere within its range, it will automatically take a video clip of that movement and alert you by sending the video clip to your email or your security personnel.

There are are number of reasons why you should choose an IP network camera for your surveillance system. Sure, analog cameras have been around longer, but the IP camera has proven its worth in performance.
The IP tetwork camera has existed since 1996. During its release, network cameras lagged a mile behind analog cameras in professionalism. In the early years, IP network cameras were simply thought of as web cameras used for broadcasting events or objects over the Internet. Fast forward to a decade later, and the good ol' web cams are now part of hundreds of operating surveillance systems.
Catching Up with the Analog Camera
A few years after it's introduction, the IP network cameras have been updated and upgraded to catch up with the analog camera in terms of function. Today, the IP camera is at par with the best analog camera in the market, even surpassing it in some aspects.
Winning the Race Against the Analog Camera
Before you choose the model of the camera you want for your surveillance system, you will first have to decide whether you're getting an analog cam or an IP network camera. For you to make the right choice, it is important that you first understand the important differences between two. By the end of this article, you should be able to understand how the IP network surveillance camera gives you more value for your money.
Interlacing
The first notable difference is seen in the camera's interlacing. The IP network surveillance camera is at an advantage in this criteria as analog cameras have significant problems with interlacing. High resolution analog camera are not able to capture fast-moving objects and keep the quality of the image because, with in an analog video signal, images are made of lines and all images are created from two interlaced fields. While the analog camera produces blurry images of fast-moving objects, the IP network camera provides crystal clear images because the whole image is captured at one time.
Power Over Ethernet
Getting power to an analog camera means hurdling a major obstacle and shelling out a major amount of cash. With the IP network camera, you have an IEEE 802.3af standard PoE (Power over Ethernet), which means that your networking devices get its power from an PoE-enabled switch over a standard cable that transmits data and video. The device offers major savings to IP camera users as the standard in place means all models or equipment are compatible with the device. PoE also gives the camera centralized backup power, so they continue to work even with a power failure.
Megapixel Resolution
The analog camera follows the olf NTSC/PAl specifications, which corresponds to 0.4 megapixels at 4CIF. The newer IP Network cameras require a higher megapixel range. The higher the resolution of the camera, the more the detailed the coverage of large areas. The camera's higher resolution also enables essential surveillance functions such as tilt, pan, and zoom.
The above mentioned comparisons are just three of many advantages offered by IP cameras over the analog version. If you want to get a good surveillance camera, get an IP network camera.
