Two(2) 3Com Building-to-Building Bridges
were donated. They were deployed to establish an alternative
link btw Network Control Centre (NCC) with the Faculty of
Pharmacy. It was discovered that it was cheaper to maintain
and faster than the existing wireless link in the Building.

This is the most problematic of the
Items, it is very erratic in the operation, most of the time
not communicating with the Wireless Cards, on some occasions
it works and after a while it will stop communicating and
several effort to refresh it often prove abortive. I'm still
troubleshooting it to ascertain the cause(s) of the problem.
Different wireless cards have been tested. it will establish
an initial link, but if the notebook or Desktop restart,
there will be no link again. So we've been able to adequate
and effectively use the Wireless cards. OAU |
