Wireless setup guide for iPhone/iPod Touch

Introduction
This document describes how to connect an iPhone/iPod Touch to the RMIT secure wireless network (RMIT-WPA). The steps to getting connected are connecting to unsecured RMIT wireless network, installing the RMIT University profile and then connecting to the secure RMIT-WPA network. Finally, proxy settings must be configured. These steps are documented in this guide.

Instructions for iPhone/iPod Touch users
2.1 Preparation
Before beginning your wireless configuration, please ensure your Novell (NDS) account is active and that the password has not expired. This is your staff ‘e’ number or your student ‘s’ number.

2.2 Connecting to RMIT wireless
It is necessary to first connect to the unsecured RMIT network so that the RMIT profile can be downloaded, enabling connection to the secure network. To connect to the unsecure RMIT network:

  1. Step 1. Press the Settings icon from the home screen of your iPhone or iPod Touch.

iPhone Application Programming Guide

The iPhone SDK provides the tools and resources needed to create native iPhone applications that appear as icons on the user’s Home screen. Unlike a web application, which runs in Safari, a native application runs directly as a standalone executable on an iPhone OS–based device. Native applications have access to all the features that make the iPhone and iPod touch interesting, such as the accelerometers, location service, and Multi-Touch interface. They can also save data to the local file system and even communicate with other installed applications through custom URL schemes.

In iPhone OS, you develop native applications using the UIKit framework. This framework provides fundamental infrastructure and default behavior that makes it possible to create a functional application in a matter of minutes. Even though the UIKit framework (and other frameworks on the system) provide a significant amount of default behavior, they also provide hooks that you can use to customize and extend that behavior.

Tweaking the Windows 7 Registry

It is almost everywhere the case that soon after it is begotten the greater part of human wisdom is laid to rest in repositories. —G. C. Lichtenberg

When you change the desktop background using Control Panel’s Personalization window, the next time you start your computer, how does Windows 7 know which image or color you selected? If you change your video display driver, how does Windows 7 know to use that driver at startup and not the original driver loaded during setup? In other words, how does Windows 7 remember the various settings and options either that you’ve selected yourself or that are appropriate for your system?

The secret to Windows 7’s prodigious memory is the Registry. The Registry is a central repository Windows 7 uses to store anything and everything that applies to the configuration of your system. This includes all the following:

Epson Stylus Pro 3880 – Network Guide

About Your Printer
Your printer has a built-in Ethernet interface and can connect anywhere on your network using 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. The built-in Ethernet interface automatically selects the correct link speed and network protocols when it connects to the network.

The network interface supports multiple protocols and automatically detects the protocols being used on your network. You can print from Microsoft® Windows® and Mac OS® X applications.

If you want to configure the network interface to use TCP/IP and SNMP network protocols, use EpsonNet Config. The configuration utility is provided with your printer, and allows you to quickly and easily configure the network interface.

Note: The EpsonNet Config utility configures the network interface to work only with protocols that exist on your network. This does not imply that you can use all of the above-mentioned protocols on your network or operating system. The protocols that the network interface can use may vary depending on the operating system and the network configuration.
