The board on the main switch or Workstation? VERY limited to opening up items (Corporate would rain down on me with a #$%% Fire). If it's worth noting, the main switch does have a console/RS232 9-pin port

Sorry all, forgot to add in the basic cable topology (to get an iDea for cable length... see what I just did there?) Cables run anywhere from 9 feet off the Lobby (Ground Floor) to the 21st floor (Think Stories instead of actual floors) , and sounds like they return to the 12th floor for the main switch. In the elevator room at the top it looks like the CAT5e (I believe) runs through an amplifier provided by the elevator company (Circular punchdown of some sort. Annoying because the only labeling "161, 162,167, etc." and we only have Schematics for inside the Elevator cars themselves.

All very valid points that I am taking to heart on this (This project is my child practically.) I have noticed that from the computer that can change the adverts around (it doesn't handle the "daily events" but the virtual player itself" if I sniff on that port, I saw that there was a nice Spanning Tree protocol on that block. I couldn't tell if anything was shut off or not, but i'm still in investigation. Seriously, Thanks guys for the input! ...Also I completely understand, No work before the morning constitution of Java.... Mandatory..

Good thinking on Reinstalling Winpcap. Can never be too safe. So update*** I found the central switch that the elevators are plugged into! WAHOO!! I was lucky enough to talk to one of the installers of the place, he mentioned it was a "Net..something" and described the box, etc. Matches the IP Scheme, Matches his description, Cable count matches perfectly, PROGRESS!! Now to begin the "Fun" Part.. The switch (Assuming it's the correct one) shows all 5 (really has 6, not sure why) RJ45 lines are "hot", but why is only 2 of the 5 Workstations funtioning Nominally? Something doesn't add up...

Hi all! I'm at a loss, so collaboration time! SO: At my work , I have 5 elevators with digital reader boards in them (for the days events and some adverts) that auto-updates from an internal system. Through our internal system, we enter in "Bob Group" and say what meeting room they have and times. Then when we say "Post", that is (theoretically) supposed to send out to these Readerboards to be displayed at the appropriate day. The problem is: Only 2 of the 5 Function like this. Here's the fun part (Are you ready?): - Inside the elevator the PC is on an Eth line. - If I plug in my laptop to snif the other end , I get no link at all. Even the ISP can't find the MAC on the network. Even on the ones that are (theoretically) working. - The main "Player Controller PC" (handles how the reader board will display adverts, etc) is connected to a switch (and our ISP can see that). - At the top of the elevators (Where the pully engines are) , There are 5 wires on a troth going outbound.. Somewhere.. But there's actually 10: 5 blue and 5 White CAT5e. - Down the hall of the Elevator Control room, there's a mini-IDF room that has a wall- mounted cabinet with 5 Cat5e lines LABELED " Elevator 5, Elevator 6, Etc." - When I plug my laptop into that , Nothing. Not even Wireshark can find it. - I can't even find anything on a WiFi Sniff too. No beacon frames match the Elevator PCs at all. ...Is there something i'm missing, or is this a needle in a hay stack?

Hey all! So I finally got my first Pebble (very proud owner), and I'm actually in the process of developing an app idea I have for it: Spot the ISS from your pebble! I've already conquered the "Hello World" construction (Barely), but I want to collaborate with you all on something: What I really need to accomplish in this app is GPS positioning to display Longitude & Latitude VS your current location (based by the connection of your phone). However, I'm VERY rusty on my C. I found this GitHub of (apparently) a protocol the Pebble likes, is anyone familiar with C able to tell if this is virtually my Golden Ticket? Without giving the spoilers away. I do wanna learn something! lol Thanks guys!
