Handling Change Gracefully

Handling Change Gracefully Change can either be good or bad; but in whatever form it takes, there’s only one reason why change occurs – it is to set aside the past and look ahead to the future. Although leaving your comfort zone is a tough thing to do, there is always a way for you to move forward and meet these changes successfully. Acceptance . You have to realize that change is inevitable and no matter how hard you try to run away from it, things eventually happen if they are destined to happen. It is true that the only thing that is constant is change, so always be flexible. Admitting that change is already happening or just actually happened is hard but denying it will not make things easier. Look on the Brighter Side . View change as an avenue for growth. You may not like the transformation at first but most likely, you will get used to it soon. Be optimistic and keep your head up high. Who knows what is in store for you?

Wireless LAN FAQ

Wireless LAN FAQ Di manakah sebaiknya saya menempatkan Base Station? Base station biasanya diletakkan di tempat yang tinggi, yang memungkinkan dapat terjangkau dari pelanggan. Bisa berupa rooftop dari gedung tinggi, ataupun tower. Perangkat apa saja yang dibutuhkan di Base Station? Pada dasarnya, perangkat wireless di base station di bagi dua, yaitu perangkat point to point sebagai backhaul, dan perangkat lainnya untuk melayani pelanggan. Perangkat backhaul tidak dibutuhkan jika Anda memiliki akses internet ke BTS via kabel ataupun media lain. Untuk access pointnya sendiri, biasanya menggunakan antenna yang dapat melayani area yang cukup lebar. Bisa berupa omnidirectional antenna, ataupun antenna sectoral. Omnidirectional antenna dapat menjangkau 360 derajat, sedangkan antenna sectoral hanya dapat menjangkau 90 hingga 120 derajat, sehingga dibutuhkan 3 hingga 4 antenna, termasuk juga access pointnya. Berapa client yang dapat terkoneksi ke base station? Secara teori, perangkat wirele

Mikrotik Wireless Bridge

Setting Mikrotik Wireless Bridge Kategori: Tips & Trik Sering kali, kita ingin menggunakan Mikrotik Wireless untuk solusi point to point dengan mode jaringan bridge (bukan routing). Namun, Mikrotik RouterOS sendiri didesain bekerja dengan sangat baik pada mode routing. Kita perlu melakukan beberapa hal supaya link wireless kita bisa bekerja untuk mode bridge. Mode bridge memungkinkan network yang satu tergabung dengan network di sisi satunya secara transparan, tanpa perlu melalui routing, sehingga mesin yang ada di network yang satu bisa memiliki IP Address yang berada dalam 1 subnet yang sama dengan sisi lainnya. Namun, jika jaringan wireless kita sudah cukup besar, mode bridge ini akan membuat traffic wireless meningkat, mengingat akan ada banyak traffic broadcast dari network yang satu ke network lainnya. Untuk jaringan yang sudah cukup besar, saya menyarankan penggunaan mode routing. Berikut ini adalah diagram network yang akan kita set. Konfigurasi Pada Ac

Memisahkan Routing dan Bandwidth Management

BGP-Peer, Memisahkan Routing dan Bandwidth Management Kategori: Fitur & Penggunaan Dalam artikel ini, akan dibahas cara untuk melakukan BGP-Peer ke BGP Router Mikrotik Indonesia untuk melakukan pemisahan gateway untuk koneksi internet internasional dan OpenIXP (NICE). Setelah pemisahan koneksi ini dilakukan, selanjutnya akan dibuat queue untuk tiap klien, yang bisa membatasi penggunaan untuk bandwidth internasional dan OpenIXP (NICE). Beberapa asumsi yang akan dipakai untuk kasus kali ini adalah : Router memiliki 3 buah interface, yang masing-masing terhubung ke gateway internasional, gateway OpenIXP (NICE), dan ke network klien. Untuk koneksi ke OpenIXP (NICE), router milik Anda harus memiliki IP publik. Untuk klien, akan menggunakan IP private, sehingga akan dilakukan NAT (network address translation) Mikrotik RouterOS Anda menggunakan versi 2.9.39 atau yang lebih baru, dan mengaktifkan paket routing-test Jika Anda menghadapi kondisi yang tidak sesuai dengan pa

Artikel Simple Queue, Memisah Bandwidth Lokal dan Internasional Kategori: Fitur & Penggunaan Selama mengelola Mikrotik Indonesia, banyak sekali muncul pertanyaan bagaimana cara melakukan pemisahan queue untuk trafik internet internasional dan trafik ke internet Indonesia (OpenIXP dan IIX). Di internet sebetulnya sudah ada beberapa website yang menampilkan cara pemisahan ini, tapi kami akan coba menampilkan kembali sesederhana mungkin supaya mudah diikuti. Pada artikel ini, kami mengasumsikan bahwa: Router Mikrotik melakukan Masquerading / src-nat untuk client. Client menggunakan IP privat. Gateway yang digunakan hanya satu, baik untuk trafik internasional maupun IIX. Pada Mikrotik tidak diletakkan web-proxy, baik secara transparan maupun tidak transparan. Jika ada parameter di atas yang berbeda dengan kondisi Anda di lapangan, maka konfigurasi yang ada di artikel ini harus Anda modifikasi sesuai dengan konfigurasi network Anda. Pengaturan Dasar Berikut ini a

Queue dengan SRC-NAT dan WEB-PROXY

Queue dengan SRC-NAT dan WEB-PROXY Kategori: Tips & Trik Pada penggunaan queue (bandwidth limiter), penentuan CHAIN pada MENGLE sangat menentukan jalannya sebuah rule. Jika kita memasang SRC-NAT dan WEB-PROXY pada mesin yang sama, sering kali agak sulit untuk membuat rule QUEUE yang sempurna. Penjelasan detail mengenai pemilihan CHAIN, dapat dilihat pada manual Mikrotik di sini . Percobaan yang dilakukan menggunakan sebuah PC dengan Mikrotik RouterOS versi 2.9.28. Pada mesin tersebut, digunakan 2 buah interface, satu untuk gateway yang dinamai PUBLIC dan satu lagi untuk jaringan lokal yang dinamai LAN.

5 Ways to Become More Likeable

5 Ways to Become More Likeable Man is a social animal, as Aristotle once said. This want and need to belong and be accepted by others is what drives us to be civil toward others. In fact, there might be times when we want nothing but to see our intimidators get run over by a bus (yikes!) but we choose to endure the pressure and react in an amiable manner in order to merit niceties, as well. In order to achieve this kind of response from everyone we meet, we must strive to be likeable. Now, likeability does not always entail that people will throw a party every time you come into the room. A person can be likeable yet not grandstanding. You don't really have to be popular to be one. All you need to do is adjust your attitude and outlook in life toward the positive. When you feel good about yourself and always look at the bright side of things, your likeability factor will naturally rise. Here are five ways to become more likeable in any situation. 1) Think h
