    Hi All,

    I want to inform you that we have been facing some issues with the HP printer in FAS. During my daily health checkup, I used the printer IP (192.168.1.187), but it showed as unreachable. This occurred after I performed a firmware update on the router last Friday, which changed the IP to 192.168.1.188. Once I identified the change, I conducted a test print, which was successful.

    To ensure proper functionality, I performed a factory reset on the printer to restore its default settings. After the reset, I tested printing from multiple devices in FAS, and all prints came out correctly.

    Additionally, on the old server, we had a script that restarted the printer three times daily (at 9 AM, 1 PM, and 5 PM) to ensure smooth operation. This script was not set up on the new server earlier, but I have now added it. Moving forward, the printer will restart automatically at the specified times.

    I will continue performing the daily health checkups and will keep you updated on the printer’s status. Please let me know if you notice any further issues.


    Regards

    Rahul Reghunadh

    Fluctuations Observed:
    The fluctuations were primarily observed in the network speed during real-time communication activities, specifically while conducting Zoom meetings. The connection exhibited variations in latency and bandwidth availability.

    Slowness Issues:
    Yes, the fluctuations led to intermittent slowness and degraded quality during Zoom calls, including delays, video freezing, and audio dropouts. This behavior was not observed during simple tasks like browsing or document downloads.

    Hi Pinki and Sandipan

    I conducted a check-up on the router placed in the conference room as discussed. During the testing, I connected four different systems and performed a variety of tasks to monitor the network performance.

    I observed that:

    • The network speed remained stable during basic web browsing and general online activities.
    • However, significant fluctuations occurred when conducting Zoom meetings or other high-bandwidth tasks.

    Given these findings, I recommend that we contact the router service provider for a detailed consultation. They will be able to analyze the issue further and advise on the necessary steps to improve the network performance.

    Dear Rahul,

    Thank you for your email (although we would have appreciated it better if you had provided some relevant evidence as well. That would give us a sense of the gravity of the problem). Please contact the service provider at the earliest and kindly update us, this week itself. This is a critical issue as many of our events and meetings use the Conference room facility.

  • Syncthing Installation and Setup Update
    Hi All

    I would like to update you on the progress of Syncthing installation and setup:

    1. Syncthing has been successfully installed and configured on seven systems.
    2. It still needs to be installed and set up on the systems of Tapas, Arindam, and Uthkarsh.
    3. On Pinki's system, Syncthing is currently not working due to a missing dependency that needs to be addressed.
