Let us start our today's lecture for this NPTEL video course on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. We were going through our module number 7 that is seismic hazard analysis. Let us have a quick recap what we have learnt in our previous lecture. In the previous lecture, we talked about what is deterministic seismic hazard analysis and for that we have seen two definitions of earthquake like maximum credible earthquake MCE and maximum probable earthquake MPE. And for this deterministic seismic hazard analysis or DSHA, we use both this MCE and MPE for evaluating the hazards. So, for obtaining the DSHA or doing the DSHA, first step is to identify and characterize all sources involved for a corresponding site where we want to find out the seismic hazard indeterministically. So, we first estimate the maximum magnitude that could be prepared that could be produced by any source in the near vicinity of the site. So, there can be several faults from the past historic data or the fault characteristics we can estimate what is the maximum value of MW in the nearby region which can occur for that site. Then find out the value of r max that is maximum distance corresponding to that M max value at the threshold parameter of our interest. Threshold parameter of our interest means for the seismic hazard which parameter we want to obtain. It can be peak ground acceleration, it can be peak horizontal velocity, it can be spectral acceleration any of such kind of value. So, we have to determine what is the threshold number we are interested in that is this why minimum value we have to identify from our design perspective. Say let us denote for example, for peak ground acceleration 0.05 g is the minimum value which we want to know. So, we have to see from various faults etcetera what is the attenuation for different values of magnitude earthquake magnitude and that value of say PGA with respect to the distance. Now, once we know that variation what we can do from this plot of log log plot of this that particular hazard parameter which we want to obtain that versus r value we can plot and based on our corresponding or the parameter of interest minimum value of threshold value we find out from this curve which is for the maximum magnitude that is what we have to select maximum magnitude what is the distance we will automatically get. So, that distance will give us the idea that is from a particular site how far all the faults we are going to consider. Then next is once we find out that up to which distance we will consider all the sites then we have to characterize the geometry of all the sources. So, how to characterize that they can be either point source where from the site to the source we will have a constant value or constant distance because it is just similar to like a point and for example, volcanoes short distances etcetera are such category. For linear source also we use only one parameter that controls because it is in one dimension say if we consider about x, y, z coordinate system we can put it in just one coordinate system by orienting our axis in that direction fine. Then another can be area source where two geometric parameters are required to identify or to characterize the source. In that case if we have x, y, z axis system we require say x and y system to identify the source and another is called volumetric source where we require all the three parameters that is x coordinate, y coordinate and z coordinate of a source from the site to identify the source. So, that is the different types of sources by which we need to characterize them. Next we have seen established the earthquake magnitude typically the m max and for obtaining the m max as I have mentioned we use the empirical correlations from the fault characteristics like from rupture length correlations, rupture area correlations or the maximum surface displacement correlations or the theoretical determination and based on the slip rate correlations. Then we need to define what is known as source to site distance and for defining that what we select always the minimum distance from the source to site and it must be consistent with the predictive relationship that is whatever predictive relationship of attenuation we are going to use for that site that corresponding distance we need to consider right. So, there are several distances like it can be epicentral distance if we consider from site to the epicentral the distance if we consider that is known as epicentral distance. If we consider from site to hypo center it is hypo central distance we can consider the distance closest point of the rupture from the site or we can consider the surface projection of that closest point to the site. So, these are various distances and any of these we can consider depending on which predictive relationship we are going to use. Then we have seen that for site to source distance parameter typically we need to consider the worst case scenario worst case scenario means the minimum distance from the site to source. So, if it is a point source obviously it is a single distance we do not have any control the that distance itself will be the minimum distance. If it is a linear distance among the linear distance obviously the nearest point or minimum x distance we have to consider for aerial source also the r minimum will be nothing but the minimum of the distance of that x and y coordinate. So, root over x square plus y square of any point of that area source needs to be considered minimum value of that for our worst case scenario. Similarly, for volumetric source we need to consider root over x square plus y square plus z square minimum of that will be the r minimum from the site to source. Then we need to consider the controlling earthquake that is how to identify or how to select the controlling earthquake decision is based on the ground motion parameters of greatest interest. We consider all the sources involved within that r max distance and assume that m max occurs at r minimum for each sources. So, that is one assumption like in the previous slide what we have seen suppose this is the volumetric source we have from site to source this is the minimum distance r minimum but this side is may be the maximum one and it may happen for the source the magnitude of occurrence of earthquake from the past history may be different from these two ends if the source length or source volume is much bigger compared to this distance it is quite possible but even then in this deterministic process of seismic hazard analysis we assume that the same magnitude or same maximum magnitude occurs at every point hence we consider m max also occurs at this minimum distance that is what it means that assume m max occurs at r minimum for each of the sources. Then compute the ground motion parameters based on that m max and that r minimum and then determine the critical values of the ground motion parameters. So, this is how we select the controlling earthquake suppose from this site we have three identified from that r max distance based on the m max data these are the sources let us say source one source two and source three. So, among these source one is nothing but a linear source source three is also a linear source whereas, source two is a aerial source. Now, from this site we need to find out the minimum distances to each of the sources. So, this r one is the minimum distance between site to source one r two is from site to source two and r three is from site to source three. Now, once we find out those distances what we need to do we need to now plot our chosen parameter of our hazard analysis which is of our interest it can be p g a it can be spectral acceleration it can be p h v anything. So, depending on the attenuation relationship we know for each of the sources what is based on that maximum magnitude for each source for each source this m one is maximum magnitude for source one m two is maximum magnitude for source two m three is maximum magnitude for source three. So, for each of them we have this parameter versus distance relationship based on that attenuation relationship. Now, what we can do we have identified this r one r two r three in the previous slide. So, we need to now find out this r one and project it over here then get the value of y one then similarly r two project it here get the value of a y two get the value of r three over here project it and get the value of y three that way we get the values of our hazard parameter of interest like y one y two y three and among them whichever gives the maximum value that is nothing but our final result of seismic hazard. So, from this example what we can see y two is maximum that automatically says that source two controls the hazard for that site. So, for the chosen site in the previous slide what we have seen this site is controlled by this source two because y two that our hazard parameter is yielding as the maximum value at this source two. So, combination of m two and r two produces the highest value of y. So, that is the final result of our deterministic seismic hazard analysis. So, we have seen the various features of DSHA like DSHA calculations are relatively simple as we have seen but implementation of procedure in practice it involves numerous difficult judgments like whether it really occurs whether that maximum earthquake occurs or not whether the distance chosen minimum is justified or not. So, many other certainties and uncertainties are involved. So, the lack of explicit consideration of uncertainties should not be taken to imply that those uncertainties do not exist actually all the uncertainties exist but we consider always the worst case scenario or the critical scenario for the deterministic seismic hazard analysis. Next in the previous lecture we have gone through one example problem this was the example problem one site has been proposed for the nuclear power plant construction. So, we need to find out the deterministic seismic hazard analysis because we have seen that is the seismic hazard analysis needs to be applied for important structure like nuclear power plant dam bridges etcetera. So, in the figure we will see later on that this is the coordinate system 0 0 for the site and in the local vicinity there are three sources 1 2 3 with their respective coordinates using this we need to find out the pHV value pHV is the seismic hazard parameter which we need to obtain through this process of DSHA using the attenuation relationship of joiner and bore and also what is the shortest distance for the larger component that assumption and the distance is given to us that R value. So, we have seen in our previous solution this is the solution we have worked out that for three different sources first step is to identify what are the minimum distances and we consider for each of them M max actually occurs. So, from our given data we find out these are the M max values given and these are minimum distance from source to site and the combination which gives us minimum distance with maximum magnitude obviously that will control the our hazard parameter. So, this is the controlling earthquake for our example we have seen then further we have calculated the values of this R distance using this formula for joiner and bore equation where this joiner and bore equation for pHV is given by this this expression all this coefficients are known to us for computed R value finally we obtained that the pHV for the site for the construction of nuclear power plant the value of pHV or the design value is this much based on this deterministic seismic hazard analysis. So, with that we have completed our previous lecture let us see how we can continue further in today's lecture. Now, we have discussed so far the deterministic seismic hazard analysis in detail what are the pitfalls let us see we need another method why because we have seen none of the uncertainties involved in the process of seismic hazard analysis are considered in our deterministic seismic hazard analysis because we do not know when the earthquakes will occur like when we are considering for a particular source that this is the maximum value of earthquake which has occurred from the historical data.  So, it depends on which earthquakes needs to be selected there is a lot of uncertainty not of question mark also if you go suppose 200 300 years back earthquake history data many a times many data may not be that reliable based mostly based on the experience of the people how they felt the earthquake if it is recorded at all in that manner also where they will occur that is it is not necessary that in a long length of a fault it will occur the hypo center at every point like what we considered in deterministic seismic hazard analysis that equal amount of chances for the sources. So, entire source length suppose if a fault is running for several hundreds of kilometer in the deterministic seismic hazard analysis we consider that as if the future earthquake are also prone to occur at any point equally, but it is not. So, it has to be based on certain mathematical calculation or on certain based on some probability that at this point there is a more probability of occurrence of that magnitude of earthquake rather than another point if it is a running for several hundreds of kilometers because when we are considering the distances as I said in deterministic seismic hazard analysis typically 250 kilometer or 300 kilometer of radius of distance from a particular site we consider and among that if a fault length itself is more than 100 kilometer we have to be very selective that what is the what are the chances that an occurrence of a particular magnitude in that fault at a particular location how much chances are there. So, those uncertainties will require to be addressed. So, where they will occur is a big question mark then how big they are that is their magnitude once again as I said we do not know that how much magnitude may come and what is the probability of occurrence it is not that suppose we are planning to design our structure say for 50 years or say for 100 years. So, unless we do a proper mathematical calculation based on the probability or chances of occurrence of a maximum value of earthquake at a particular source it will be very much unrealistic suppose chances of occurrence from the probability estimation or probability calculation if we found that maximum value of earthquake at a particular source chances of occurrence is say 1 in 200 years and now we are designing say the structure for a design life of 50 years. So, we should not use that value of which is having a occurrence of once in 200 years right because that will be more unrealistic rather than that we should select such a value which is having a chances of occurrence or probability of occurrence once in 50 years time that value of maximum earthquake we need to consider right. So, that is why how big of that magnitude we need to select based on that chances of occurrence also needs to be addressed. So, all these uncertainties can be handled using another type of seismic hazard analysis that is called probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. So, in short it is called PSHA probabilistic seismic hazard analysis like at the beginning we mentioned seismic hazard analysis is categorized in two classes one is DSHA deterministic seismic hazard analysis another is PSHA. So, you can see this picture clearly shows this is the DSHA this is PSHA. So, in DSHA we have single maximum earthquake in our consideration we do not consider all other earthquakes whatever the maximum value that only that is worst case scenario we consider and when will they occur that also is a very big question mark to the community that is how far we will go how many years we will go back right whereas PSHA how it is advantageous why the fulcrum shows the inclination towards this that is automatically shows it is more logical why let us see it takes care of all the uncertainties involved in the process we will go through now slowly when we will describe this PSHA it takes care all this mentioned uncertainties what we discussed just now their probability of occurrence that is how much chances are there to occur that value of earthquake that distance of earthquake that fault of consideration etcetera and hazard is taken from all the faults, but not with equal values it has to be taken with different magnitudes based on this probability or uncertainties involved like here in DSHA what we have considered hazard is taken from all faults, but we have considered all faults are equally responsible, but it should not be it may cannot be right. So, the PSHA considers all this uncertainties that is the advantage of PSHA over this DSHA if we compare like this. So, if we see the basic concepts of this probabilistic seismic hazard analysis or PSHA in short PSHA characterizes uncertainty in location uncertainty in size uncertainty in frequency frequency means the number of times of its occurrence and effects of earthquakes and combines all of them to compute this probabilities of different levels of ground shaking. So, whatever is your hazard parameter whether PGA, PHV or spectral acceleration that value what are the chances or probabilities need to be computed mathematically based on considering uncertainties involved in the earthquake location earthquake size number of occurrences their effects all of these together. So, the goal is to quantify the rate or the probability of exceeding various ground motion levels at a site given that all possible earthquakes are taken into consideration. So, it is fully based on the probability calculation that is it should exceed a certain value which is of our interest for the design and traditionally the peak ground acceleration used to quantify the ground motion. But other than that in present time response spectral acceleration like SA also preferred because expected SA is in accordance to the natural frequency of the building. We will discuss this little later that how it is correlated because as I have already defined you in previous one of the lecture while deriving the relationship of spectral acceleration right. A spectral acceleration with respect to time period of an assumed single degree of freedom system we have already considered and from that we have seen based on different time period of the system we can identify how much is the spectral acceleration and that value we can design for building. So, that is why it is said for a particular building or for a particular structure say bridge or anything it will have a natural frequency it we can calculate the natural frequency we can convert it to natural period from that period based on the spectral acceleration we can use or we can get a value which is a design value. So, that is why the results of PSHA can be expressed either in the form of PGA or in the form of spectral acceleration these are common output. So, once again if we compare this DSHA and PSHA like in DSHA we have seen we assume a single scenario what is that single scenario that is worst case scenario or the maximum case scenario. So, here we select a single magnitude M W which has to be the maximum magnitude we select a single distance which has to be a minimum distance and we assume the effect due to both this maximum magnitude and minimum distance for each sources to calculate the hazard parameter whereas in PSHA we assume many scenarios like we consider all the magnitudes not only the maximum, but also other magnitude that means suppose in a several sources among those sources not only the max sources which produce maximum magnitude, but also the sources which produce the say lesser than maximum magnitude also needs to be considered. Consider all the distances it is not necessarily only the minimum distance need to be considered we have to consider from the side to source all the possible distances and we have to give certain weightage to them we will see that very soon and consider all the effects that is distance, magnitude all this combined effect needs to be considered for this PSHA analysis. Now, when this probabilistic seismic hazard analysis started in the history if we see the literature the overview of literature we can find out that 1969 is the year when Cornell researcher Cornell he published the output of this probabilistic seismic hazard analysis in bulletin of seismological society of America it is in short we call B S S A that paper and since that 1969 there is a rapid development of that area throughout the world that is now people are using this PSHA more than DSHA. So, 1969 is the pioneering year when this PSHA had started and it was started by Cornell a credit goes to researcher Cornell. So, what are the various inputs for this PSHA which are necessary like input is seismicity model now we are not discussing it here we will discuss it later on what are the various seismicity models etcetera when we will take an example problem for a particular area that time we will consider various seismicity models like what they discuss the seismicity model how the seismicity is distributed in the space that is in the entire area and how it is distributed over the time that means various from your various collected historical seismic data at different different time how we can obtain a particular mathematical model which will give us the occurrence of that seismic event in future time because as we know we cannot predict earthquake so far. So, we do not know in future 10 years later 20 years later 50 years later or during the lifespan or design life of our building which we are going to construct at a site what will be the occurrence future occurrence of earthquake. So, how we can find it out we find it out based on this seismicity model based on the collected historical earthquake data in that area and with respect to time. So, that is why various seismicity models are available various mathematical models are available which we will discuss little later. Now, magnitude and frequency distribution magnitude means among this seismicity distribution what are the values of their seismic events that is what are the magnitude of the seismic event and frequency means the number of occurrences that is say from a source we got maximum magnitude various magnitudes of earthquake say magnitude 4, 4.5, 5 there are several numbers, but there are only hardly any 1 or 2 magnitudes of say 7, 7.5 that higher ranges. So, how those values are distributed needs to be identified among them we have to find out what is M max that is maximum possible earthquake for that fault or for that source. Remember here when we are computing this maximum possible earthquake based on this seismicity model you know the chances of occurrence or chances of recurrence of an particular earthquake magnitude in your design life of the structure. What I was mentioning which is not possible in DSHA, but in PSHA we can do that. Suppose for a particular site we found out from the using seismicity model that chances of occurrence of magnitude of earthquake say 8 is once in 200 years, but our design life of the structure is just 50 years. So, chances of occurrence of maximum earthquake in that 50 year we need to find out not that in 200 years. So, we should not design the structure based on that M value of 8 we should calculate it and find out what is the magnitude it can be 7, it can be 6.5, it can be 7.5 based on the what how the seismicity values are distributed how this max magnitude versus frequency is distributed and so many other mathematical terms. So, ground motion prediction equation is another input parameter which gives the data on this magnitude with respect to hypo center. So, basically this ground motion prediction equation in short we call them as G M P E as you can see the first later of all these votes. So, G M P E, G M P E is nothing but those attenuation relationship. For a particular site you see here the relationship has to be with respect to the both magnitude and hypo center. So, whatever attenuation relationships are involved with the relationship with respect to magnitude and hypo center needs to be considered not the other relationship where hypo center is neglected or magnitude is neglected like that way. Then which site response model we are going to use that also needs to be identified or needs to be chosen for as an input parameter for this PSHA. Then our final output will be exceeding a ground motion level within a time period of t with a probability of p that is this is our final output. In the case of DSHA what was our final output? What is the controlling earthquake? Which one gives us the maximum value of hazard parameter? But in this case not the maximum value we have to select that for a particular chosen time period what is the probability of occurrence of accidents? Suppose we are interested to know that probability of occurrence say more than 70 percent chance of occurrence of a particular magnitude of earthquake in the design life of 50 years is that much. So, based on that we have to compute our output it is not a just maximum value. So, this is another specialty of this PSHA that is we have a control on this based on the probability of occurrence we obviously will not design based on the 100 percent probability right. So, PSHA that consists of again four primary steps like DSHA also here in case of PSHA we can have major four steps to obtain the hazard parameter. What are those steps? First step is same that is identification and characterization of all sources. Then second phase is characterization of seismicity of each source. Then third step is determination of motions from each source and the fourth phase is probabilistic calculations based on all these input data. So, if we see graphically through a picture these are the four steps as it is involved you can see over here first step is to identify the source. So, for that again from the site you can find out the zone that is up to which boundary you should consider the faults. In this case also you can probably apply the same logic what we used for DSHA that is the maximum magnitude with maximum distance based on our threshold parameter of our interest. So, based on that you can first identify the boundary, but once you identify the boundary your all sources are coming in within that suppose these are the various sources. In that case it is not the minimum distance now you have to take all the distances now that is the difference from the DSHA to PSHA. How to take all the distances and etcetera we will discuss very soon. The next phase is recurrence of that earthquake for that site which is influencing what is that recurrence that is in y axis you have to plot number of this is number of earthquakes exceeding some certain value. Suppose you may not be interested to all the earthquake magnitude. So, as I have already mentioned earlier we are typically there for civil engineering construction we are typically interested of earthquake magnitude of say 4.5 or 5. So, above that magnitude whatever earthquake occurs let us say we consider only those number of earthquake and this is the magnitude. So, magnitude versus number of earthquake suppose magnitude of 5 occurs say 100 times in our chosen domain say magnitude of 6.5 occurs say only 10 times. So, this is in log scale this is magnitude we can plot like this. So, that will give us the distribution or the recurrence of that earthquake for that particular point or for particular site. Then we can have the ground motion parameters that is based on the attenuation relationship peak acceleration versus distance. In this case we will have the magnitude based relationship we know magnitude and distance relation m versus r for a particular chosen attenuation parameter. Now, within each of them for every source source 1 2 3 we have to select the percentage of probability of occurrence of particular event within each of them. Then we can arrive at that probability of exceedance of a particular value of this peak acceleration based on our ground motion parameter that will be our final result. So, anyway we will discuss it in further. So, it will be further clear also we will discuss through example problem or applications in our subsequent lectures. Now, first step is to identify the source to site distance. So, uncertainty involved in the source to site distance we need to first duke into. So, need to specify the distance measure based on the distance measure in attenuation relationship like if we have the vertical fault like this and this is the site of our interest we can either have hypocentral distance, seismologic distance because this is the seismologic depth this is the rupture distance and this is the epicentral distance. So, any of this particularly we have to use based on our corresponding attenuation relationship. Similarly, for dipping faults we can have seismogenic distance rupture distance hypocentral distance epicentral is of course the same point it is coincides with the site this is another way to compute. Now, where on this fault is rupture most likely to occur see fault is not a single point unless it is a point source. It will have certain dimension now among that entire length or area or volume of the fault whatever we consider which are the points where the chances of occurrence of rupture or the energy emission during the earthquake is going to be more. So, that probability we need to find out. So, you can see over there this is your site for which you are going to find out that hazard parameter and say this is our fault say this is the aerial fault like this. There can be this point may be having more chances of opening or rupture this point may be having more chances may not be this point. So, why to give equal weightage to all the points like we have given in DSHA we have actually taken from this point to minimum distance. Considering that this maximum rupture will occur at all points equally, but there is no reason why it should occur at all points equally. So, we need to find out that rupture where it is most likely to occur that probability we have to compute. So, source to site distance depends on where that rupture occurs suppose if you are taking the hypocentral distance then it is very much important even for the epicentral distance as well because if your fault length is for several hundreds of kilometers. Obviously, epicentral distance also will change even the nearest point to the rupture also will change. So, all this distance parameters will change. So, now where on the fault rupture most likely to occur at the initial instant our answer is we do not know right. We do not know the result that is where the rupture is going to occur then how we can find out the probability of occurrence of that rupture at various points of that fault. So, what we need to do? We need to divide the entire fault whether it is a length or whether it is an area into small number of segments and for each segments for each number of small portions within that fault from the center of that fault portion or subdivided area you find out what is the distance from this site. Did you get my point? Look at here these are all the distances measured to the center of each of the smaller elements within that entire fault that is entire fault you subdivide it into number of elements because automatically then your distance from site to the center of each of the element will change clear. So, approach is like this. So, assume the equal likelihood at any point. Let us say initially let us give the equal likelihood that is equal chances of occurrence at each and every point. So, characterize the uncertainty based on the probabilistic way how we are going to do let us see. Suppose this is our fault length from the site. Obviously, we will have various distances say this is r minimum and this is r maximum. Now, we have say the variation of that parameter based on the function of this r will have this kind of variation that is r minimum chances of occurrence more with r maximum chances of occurrence less. So, this is nothing but this probabilistic distribution is nothing but probabilistic distribution function pdf probability distribution function. So, pdf for source to site distance we need to first draw that is what it says that is based on each and every distance what we have seen here based on each and every distance from minimum to maximum you need to find out what are their chances of occurrence or what are the probability of occurrence of a particular chosen value of your concern. It can be magnitude it can be acceleration etcetera a various input value that probability distribution in need to find out. So, how to do this let us see there are two practical ways to determine this probability distribution function of f of r as a function of r. Suppose for the case of linear source let us take the example first for the linear source that is our fault or source is like linear dimension like this. So, we can have various values of r say this is r minimum and this is r maximum what we have done here considering this site as the center of a circle draw the series of concentric circle with radius of equal increment. Did you get my point first you draw a circle which will touch the source then you do an amount certain amount of increment in the radius draw another circle. It will cut the source at another point do another equal increment of the radius it will cut at another point another equal value of increment of radius it will cut another point and further another point. So, that entire of your source is subdivided got it. Now, for each of the subdivided zone you choose the center of each of the smaller zone like this is the center of this zone this is the center of this zone this is the center of this zone. This is the center of this zone like that. So, from that each center points of that subdivided source to this site you find out distance. So, this is one distance this is the another distance this is another distance. Among them one is minimum one other is maximum and others are in between. So, measure the length of the fault L i, this is the length of the fault which you have subdivided between each pair of the adjacent circles that is what I said. Now, assign weight equal to L i by L to each of the corresponding distance that is if you want to put equal weightage what you can do? What is the weightage of this portion of the fault that is nothing but say this is L 1, this is L 2, this is L 3, this is L 4. So, L 1 by total L, what is the weightage for this one L 2 by total L, what is the weightage for this one L 3 by total L, what is the weightage for this one L 4 by total L. Now, if you know some weightage factor that also you can add over here, this is considering the equal weightage. Now, another way to divide the source is same for linear source instead of drawing that concentric circles of equal radial increment, you can subdivide it into equal number of lengths of segments that is also possible. So, that is what it says divide the entire fault into equal length segments fine. Now, the compute distance from site to center of each of the segment the same ways center of each of the segments to site those distances are obtained. Now, once you get that what you need to do next is create the histogram of the source to site distance using those weightage factor that L i by L. So, accuracy increases with increasing number of segments that is quite obvious, if you divide it into more number of segments you will get a more refined results or better results. Similarly, for aerial source what we do the area source we have to subdivide into smaller areas of equal area segments like this and compute the distance from the center of each source to that site and finally, you create again that histogram of source to site distance. Similarly, for volumetric source also we divide the source into equal volume of segments. So, each small brick elements are nothing but individual smaller segments equally distributed for the entire source and compute the distance from the source center of each segment to that site and then create the histogram of the source to site distance based on your given weightage that is individual volume say v i v i to the total volume for area it will be individual area say a i a i by total area. So, giving that now if we have unequal element what we need to do suppose your source can be some half hazard like this then there is no way you can go for equal area of element right then there is no other choice but to go for unequal element areas. So, in that case create the histogram using that weighing factor like earlier we have given equal area equal length equal volume because thinking that it will have equal weightage. But if you have some irregular shape of the source in that case you are suppose not able to divide it equally you may have unequal area in that case you use the weighing factor that is suppose this a 1 by a is something different than a 2 by a earlier it was equal now it is different. So, that weight factor you should consider to be a fraction of the total area when you are attaching or when you are plotting that histogram. So, you add that area with respect to that weightage factor when you are drawing the histogram for that equal various distances that is at different distances you are getting some histogram of weightage so that you need to plot. Now, quick visualization of that probability distribution function of pdf use of concentric circle approach let us see the basic shape of that pdf quickly this is again another irregular one. So, you can have the concentric circle like this and give the subsequent different weightage factor now characterization of this maximum magnitude determination of a max is same as for as we have done for the case of dsh that is either you use this empirical correlations like wells and copper smith equation we have seen right based on rupture length or rupture area or maximum surface displacement correlation or various theoretical determination based on seismic moment etcetera like or the slip rate correlation that we have seen. Now, also we need to know the distribution of this magnitude in the dsh we were not bothered about to know how this magnitude is distributed because we have chosen only the maximum value and then we have further proceed with that calculation, but here we are now interested to know how this maximum magnitude for various sources they are distributed. So, given source can produce different earthquake for example, generally the low magnitude will be occurring very often whereas, large magnitude will occur very rarely right for a particular site which is quite obvious say a magnitude of 4.5 or 5 or 5.5 occurs so many times whereas, magnitude of 7.5 in the same source is occurring very few times right. So, that number of occurrences of earthquake we need to find out. So, for that Gutenberg Richter relationship we need to use we will see that very soon. Like for example, southern California earthquake data many falls are involved counted number of earthquakes exceeding different magnitude levels over a period of many years that means, what is the different magnitude level as I said it depends on our basic design consideration like it depends on ingenious decision that whether we should consider 4.5 magnitude and above as earthquake for our consideration or 5. So, it is up to you when you are doing the design and over how many years of periods whether you can to consider 100 year period or 200 years period of earthquake data like that. So, obviously if you have authentic data more the data better is the prediction. Now, with that what we can do once you know how many number of earthquake and what are their magnitudes occurred you can easily plot them like this. So, y axis suppose it is a number of occurrence of earthquake and m is the magnitude of earthquake say you are interested to know about magnitude of earthquake more than 4. Then in this plot you will only plot those earthquake from the past historical data which are having magnitude starting from 4. Obviously, the smaller magnitude of earthquake as we said they will occur more number of times than higher magnitude of earthquake they will occur very less number of time or rarely. So, that is why the points will be distributed something like this is not it. So, it is a normal scale it will be something some kind of exponential relation like this. Can you see if you collect the historical earthquake data for any region it will typically give this kind of shape in the normal plot normal axis system. Now, if the same relationship if you want to plot in log scale for the y axis, but normal scale for the x axis that is magnitude is still in normal scale, but y axis that is number of their occurrences in log scale it will give some relationship all these points will be scattered like this which will follow a certain kind of linear relationship in this semi log plot that is nothing, but what Gutenberg and Richter had proposed this is called Gutenberg Richter recurrence law recurrence means how many times that magnitude will occur. So, we will see that soon. So, this data what it gives us from the previous plot we can redraw it in another way another fashion what way we can plot it we can plot the mean annual rate of accidents what we denote it as say lambda m what is lambda m this is nothing, but n m that is the number of events of that magnitude m divided by t that is for how many years you have chosen it. So, it will automatically give mean annual rate that is per year basis it will give the value is it clear. So, the same distribution if we plot now log of that lambda m versus m the same pattern will follow because obviously, we have divided only with respect to your number of years what you have chosen for that number of events which you have selected. So, this is called mean annual rate annual rate means per year. So, that is what we have obtained of accidents of that magnitude m. Now, next definition is return period it is also called recurrence interval that is in what interval that magnitude or more will occur. So, how we can find it out that return period or recurrence interval t r is nothing, but inverse of that mean annual rate of accidents is not it this is showing the number of occurrence per year basis. So, if we inverse it we will get that magnitude will occur in how many years time right. So, that gives us the return period or recurrence interval t r like this. So, the same plot of that log of lambda n versus m in this fashion if we select the y axis on the other side as log of this return period t r this will be in the increasing fashion like this the other side will be in increasing fashion in the other direction because they are inversely proportional. Can you see that which is quite obvious right. So, the plot will remain same the values etcetera that is lambda m let us take an example lambda m value of 0.01 will indicate t r of 100 years because 1 by 0.01 is nothing, but 100 years what does it mean that is mean accidents per year accidents annual rate of accidents of a particular event say magnitude of 5 earthquake occurrence is 0.01 that means in other words the same thing that in 100 years time that magnitude of 5 earthquake will get repeated clear. How they are correlated similarly suppose lambda m of 0.001 will mean it is return period is 1000 year clear. So, what I had already mentioned this is called Gutenberg Richter recurrence law that is the plot of this log of lambda m versus magnitude m that is in y axis you will have log of lambda n a x axis will be your normal axis of magnitude m and the other side you can put log of t r because anyway it is same the other way round right. So, what you can see over here m value at 0 that is magnitude when it is 0 because it is a normal scale we can have a 0 value right. What corresponds to this curve where it reaches that is nothing, but the intercept on this that let us take as 10 to the power a and the slope of this line which is in the decreasing trend like this from here the reason also we have mentioned because smaller magnitude of earthquake occurs more number of times higher magnitude of earthquake occurs less number of times. So, that way this gives the slope of b. So, typical Gutenberg Richter recurrence law that is how they return what is their chances of occurrence of that magnitude of earthquake is given by this relation that log of lambda m equals to a minus b m that is the equation as you can see from this value. So, with this we have come to the end of today's lecture we will continue further in next lecture.


Why do introverts often find themselves misunderstood and underestimated? When I say introvert, what do you picture? Is it someone shy or closed off or is it someone confident and expressive? Millionaire Bill Gates, for instance, is introverted but is unfazed by others' opinions and in no way shy. Even extroverts with larger than life personalities like millionaire inventor Steve Jobs can be prone to shyness. Introversion is often associated with shyness and social anxieties but not all introverts are alike. Extroverts and introverts alike can suffer from occasional shyness and it is crucial to recognize the differences rather than assume introverts are all the same. American author and lecturer, Susan Kane, explains that shyness and introversion are not the same. Shyness is the fear of negative judgment and introversion is a preference for quiet, minimally stimulating environments. Ultimately, it's essential to recognize that introversion is not a character flaw or weakness. It's a different way of perceiving, processing and engaging with the world.


1947 the Jews celebrate Arabs launch attacks the next day. They start fighting, they do not agree to the separation to establish in the two states. This is a pattern that will repeat itself throughout history and they fight. And that fight continues until May of 1948. The British have announced that they are leaving no matter what. They are walking away. May 14, 1948 a group of Israeli of Jewish politicians declare the establishment of the state of Israel. On that day armies of seven Arab countries invade to support the local Palestinians. They try to wipe out the Jewish population there and try to wipe out any hope of a Jewish state in that area. You know, the Jews there fight back and they win and they establish the state and I guess the rest of this history.


I can't be the only one who hears you Fears falling down at the party Saddest little baby in the room Fears on me, fears don't get me started


Tom here from our systems. We're going to talk about the Aruba instant on and instant on is their new easy and as they kind of imply instant on system so you can manage Wi-Fi access points It is multi-tenant So as like an IT provider you can create different instances and different networks for your clients and manage them all through one cloud Portal and manage the switches and manage the access points that being said I wanted to make sure we get it up front. This was sent to me for review I have not deployed this any clients so all of my testing has been from me having this for a couple weeks and doing testing with it But not from any actual, you know use case in terms of large deployments at clients second There is no way to locally manage this. I just want to make sure that it's clear This has to be managed in the Aruba cloud system and it is fairly dropable I've done that more than once and has a problem and Second the switch itself can be managed in a cloud but does offer local management So the switch doesn't need to be tied to the cloud to work It doesn't need to be activated by the default out of the box You can either send it to their cloud interface and adopt it there and manage it there Or you can just go in and create local users and manage it and add all the features and we'll cover that when we get into the More details, but first before we get into all that let's feel like to learn more about me or my company Head over to Lawrence systems comm if you like to hire short project There's a hires button right at the top if you want to support this channel in other ways There's affiliate links down below to get you deals and discounts on products and services We talk about on this channel including a link to our patreon if you like become a patreon supporter We also have a swag store where you can get shirts and other items that are for sale and that changes from time to time What's available and what's not so go ahead and check that out frequently and finally our forums If you'd like to have a more in-depth discussion about this video suggestions for new videos or just reach out Say hi and talk tech our forums are a great place for that all right now back to the content And we'll start here at their website and start with some marketing speak the always-on network for the always-on business Aruba instant on by now, so they offer a series of switches and I currently have the new 1930 8 port POE with actually to SFP not SFP plus ports So this is all just a 1 gig not a 10 gig switch So that's the switch that we have actually the one that's right on top here in the picture and Much like there's namesake says it's instantly on you plug it in you adopt them into the network And you bring things into the portal and we'll cover the portal You know go through all the options on there So they have a handful of switches that support this and a handful of access points These are really designed for a lot of small businesses that need basic setup and basic access That's one of the nice things about them as they are fast to set up easy to use secure to you can trust You know all the marketing on here, but there really are where you're gonna see relatively easy to get up And running which is important so let's first start with the switch and take a look at it so we're gonna go over here and Let's look at this we have eight POE ports to SFP one gig ports a couple of light notifications to let you know the status of it We have the blinking when it's booting up and then a cloud when it's connected to cloud really straightforward and There's not much else to look at power spot on the back and a reset button on there Oh, if you didn't notice though, I do like this and it's from a small business perspective as a nice feature We have these so you can Wall mount this so if you want to push this against the wall is maybe if your target and their target audience does appear To be small business on these that's a nice feature being able to easily just wall mount it and it does come with rack Here so you may notice it's not the full width of a rack Which is actually nice when you only buy an eight port one But the rack ears we can put them on does give you that length that you're looking for so it will Be rack width when you put these on and this is all included within it didn't even open them up So we didn't bother rack mounting and so it's got that also of note and over here They include these and this is part of the wall mount so hardware wise This is nice to actually include this because sure I could figure out what screws go in here But what if I don't have those and I wanted to play these at a site without having to have you know Run over to the hardware store and get some extra ones in case there are ones I have aren't the right size Nice if that's included in there now other than that There's not much on the physical side to talk about it is Solidly built inside and passively cooled like I said with heat dissipation going on here And there's heat dissipation going on over here. So it's got the You know thermal pass to push the heat through the metal case on here and for the most part silent now I say silent, but the only but right here I don't know if you'll be able to pick it up or with the microphone pick it up at all It does have the slightest audible of high frequency when you have devices plugged into it It's very slight, but it's there for those wondering It's not anything that the decibel meter is even able to pick up. It's just my ears I can hear it kind of like almost like a high-pitched wine But it's very very slight and my ears are sensitive to that and not everyone's are so if you do hear it I then the microphone picks it up if not then I'm not I don't have a way to measure it because it's so slight And I just wanted to make note for those of you that do have Hearing at that high end and you can hear those slight high noises But anyways enough of that now let's look real quick though at before you dive into the actually login switch the hardware in terms of the AP-15 this is a simple design in terms of how it works They have this little clip here and at first I had to stare at it and I didn't you know read the manual right away Well, it's like hmm. That's interesting. I wonder why it's like that then I realized this width is for sticking on drop ceilings The little bars for a standard drop ceiling it clips right on there matter of fact it clips on really easy You just go up there It's kind of like you get an angle and twist and it locks into the rails up there and as far as how it locks onto here It's also super simple. You just twist In a way you go you're on there really easy to take on and off and then we have this one So same thing they're just twist lock and then you can twist it the other way and pull it back off Now this is made for like flesh rounding against a wall or something besides the rail one So the rail one has no screw holes in it So it's made just to attach a rail so it's actually a completely tool list design Which for putting up APs where you have to poke holes and the In the little acoustic phone things that are in there or the other challenges especially because this is not ways a lot But it weighs enough that if you were to do it on there Sometimes you've seen where they'll start to sag a little if they're if those ones especially if the the acoustic phones are thinner That you find in offices That may cause a problem clipping it on to the rail itself the rails Well, they're usually held up by wire and don't sag so you don't really have to revise an issue So I do like that they include that that's actually a nice feature And of course this for any time you got a screw mounted one thing of note because of the design of this It's not a flush mount. So even when you have this on there It is gonna hang down just a little bit So it's not going to you know, give you a nice clean flush mount But it's white on here and most of the acoustic tiles and most offices are white as well So it's gonna kind of still blend in for the most part Now in terms of looking at this there's not much to look at in terms of options We have an ethernet port which is PoE. We have a 12 volt port. We have a Kensington lock We have this that is undocumented But there's just a little thing you can plug in there and we do have a USB That I also didn't see a need for my guess is if somehow you manage to goof this up in some way that needs to be Reflashed that's probably what the USB is for so hardware wise though feels solid feels well made and I didn't take this apart Because it's got some special lock screws that apparently my bits don't fit I was curious maybe I'll order the right kit That will open these and maybe open it a later date I don't know if I do I'll post pictures on Twitter. It won't be part of this particular video So next thing is how do you get these set up and adopted? Well, the Aruba instant on portal is free So we'll go ahead and create an account which I already did and I actually been testing this at my house for about a week One thing I'm going to really note here though and this is going to be a gap in the video Well, I'll only gap you to you its instant for me It's an eight minute wait these things take about eight nine minutes to boot up and get ready to be logged into an adopted Which I think is a little slow But then again, you don't reboot commercial equipment all the time So it's not the end of the world and it just I don't know kind of strange to me that it takes as long as it does to Boot and re-adopt to the cloud But it's of note just be patient and when you're trying to adopt these it even says this could take up to Five minutes waiting for it when you go into the portal and you try to adopt one of these on here Now I'm not going to really spend a lot of time on it But yes, there is a phone app that you can adopt these with so if the phone's on local network And you can adopt them through the web interface for the portal either way is perfectly fine And I believe and I didn't need to use this but there is a serial number option where you can Punch in a serial number of a new device and have it adopted that way So a couple different ways to set these up and configure them no big deal It did like it said it adopted and went into the portal Now what we're going to log into first is going to be the switch and we're going to start with a locally managed switch This is one of the tricky parts of where the Aruba system works You can log into the switch and manage it locally or you can but not the same time use it in their web portal The web portal is limited functionality in terms of the switch, but full functionality in terms of the access point So the switch is it's almost better if you have any advanced use cases to manage them using the local interface But it's an either or you can't have them in both. You can't log into the local and also have the switch online I thought that was a little bit of a strange At least to me from a design standpoint, but it is how it is. It is how it is and that is how they designed it They'd also mentioned this is June of 29 2020 June of 2020 is what you're going to be looking at in terms of what the Aruba instant on portal looks like If at the later date and they said they're always adding features They add all the functionality switch to the portal that'd be great and maybe Do check with if you're interested in this product and you're watching in a future date Do check to see if those features have been added to the portal prior to if you're curious about that So as you can see it's still booting up and still I've been talking for a couple minutes But I'm gonna pause video here till the web interface becomes completely ready and we can log into it All right now I'm not going to go in depth on this but I will show you that yes the switch is up and running and working and Here's the options for it run through them real quick one thing I noted right away Is when you're setting up the system time and it takes a second to get this page here it Doesn't have this if it doesn't have the time right you can't put in time.google.com because It wants ipv4 in there. I thought that was a little strange It also our dhcp server has ntp servers in there And maybe that's why it didn't take it because it actually hands them out with a fully qualified domain name Now you can set these to static dhcp change of management port management vlan Also from the way you operate the switch you have the apply to Activate a setting now and save so you're saving it so on reboot That's something to note because some switches work that way some don't and this is you know Across probably more enterprise devices do work that way where you have like a apply now config versus A save on boot config and it's important to remember that because sometimes you apply a setting And it goofs up and you can restart it and come back But also I've seen people go in and configure things and not actually hit the little save button up here at the top And if you don't save it when you reboot you lose all those settings So one power outage away from some disaster where you thought you set it all up and you didn't hit save and yeah Way you go In terms of all the features switching port configuration port mirroring loop protection It's a full featured managed switch including A lot of details when you get into the vlan LLDP med now the LLDP is one complaint I have because this feature which is available on the switch is not available when the switch is inside of the portal And to me when you're trying to focus on a small business A lot of them have white phones if they only have one or two of them You probably would conveniently like them powered by this little poe switch and This seems like a good let's say a hair salon and we have a handful of those as clients Makes a good switch for them except I would have to leave it in locally managed mode to get LLDP med to work because when you turn on the cloud mode It doesn't work and we'll get to that because we're going to adopt it in the cloud before we're done here So neighbor discovery power over ethernet options. It gives the wattage Refresh to page It has scheduling options for it. There we go Takes a second. All right, and it tells you you can just mouse over shows how many watts are used on the ports You can fine tune all the adjustments on there Routing this is interesting because it does have routing options in here. So That's a nice that they've added those capabilities in here quality of service access controllers class of service and yes, you can tie this to a radius server for More fine-grain like 8021 x type controls and that's all under here under security. It's got radius server configuration dhcp snooping protected ports port security It does have all the diagnostics built in here too So you have the cold startup which also you can see logging started. So 11 39 11 40 for cold startup And where does it go device waiting for IP address? See if we can actually get an idea of how long it took to do some of these It's only a few minutes to boot on this But it's still like I said, it does take a few minutes before it becomes ready for adoption in the cloud But we also have ping trace route support file under maintenance It does have backup files. So you can do this. So update file transfer switch backup from the switch. So Next You want the active is back of your dark configuration running confirmation or error logs? So it does let you get a little fine-grained on there now reset This is where I was mentioning So I want to put this back into the portal But the only way for me to put this back into the portal is to actually factory set it because once you've logged into it Locally it you can't go back and forth and this is something I thought was a little strange Once we go here, we can just reset it to factory and that will allow me back to adopt it I am going to adopt it back into the aruba cloud here. So Like I said, it's it's an either or with the management on there Whether you want to manage it locally where you get all these features or you manage it through their cloud portal Where you get well fewer features. So we're going to reset this to factory defaults and adopt the system back Into the cloud. I just wanted to show that first before we went to the portal part All right now that we've reset the switch, we're ready to adopt it again It does take a minute though Like I had mentioned earlier and part of it is I was waiting for the ap to boot So first it reboots the switch and ap's take a little five or six minutes for them to reboot as well So there is at least that little bit of delay now You start with go ahead and add a device. You just go here to Add new devices it brings you to this it finds the device We're going to go ahead and add it and hopefully it won't ask me to reboot the ap and I don't think it will Okay, finish And now we're in the portal So it does now it's synchronizing the settings here, which is great And we see that this is uh booted up right here the ap 15. This is the inventory Now this is the base of the portal when you first log in and as I stated the portal is free There's not any fees associated with it and having the switch in the portal and having the access point here It will push automatic updates to them. So you'll have the latest firmware So that's what's going to do right now. I'd actually done this before I had them back and forth in and out Neat things about the portal you can go here and add networks. So we have the ltf's office site It is multi-tenant multi-site manageable and you set these up here So you can go to site management manage this site Here's the account that I have with there delete the site and there is the option to transfer ownership or rename a site set the time zone set up a configure a guest portal on a per site basis and Here's the software updates and you can choose when you want those software updates to happen So we'll go back over here to site management And home and then we're back to where you started now networks This is the wired network and we can add another one if we wanted So wired give it a network name assign a vlan id to it. It does allow that to propagate between the switches and the access points or you add a new wireless and choose what kind of usage you want And the wireless as you can see has a lot more options within here So we're going to go ahead and look at the ones we already have set up And we have this one and I took this home and use it for a while and I wanted to get some dpi data But I kind of failed because I didn't realize that doesn't see all those devices for a little while as I Took it home for a week. I brought it back and I brought it back on Turned it off on a Friday and here it is Monday doing your review on June 29th And all those stats just kind of fade away out of there We'll cover what that means, but it's basically all the application level stats for usage It doesn't have much information in here other than what it found now This is the dpi feature and I will admit I just want to cover this real quick The dpi deep packet inspection feature a lot of people ask about this It's really rudimentary and it's done at the access point level not at the switch level that I can tell And it's it gives you the most basic of information It says 299 meg of web And when I was using at home it would just say streaming lots of streaming because we had our chromecasts And we watched netflix and prime That was connected to it and we have aroku so those devices just show up as streaming devices But not real actionable detailed intelligence So if you're wondering about the dpi it does say it but of course the death is in the details The details are really really light. So it kind of just tells you that The general usage not much information on there. It does have some restrictive options To you could say hey, I don't want these and filter out like don't allow because it's why it's got the allow you So you can uncheck and say we don't want adult content on our network But it's also not fine grain. It doesn't give you detailed control over it And by the way of any level of encryption because they can't peel out layers of encryption It's not going to know what the sites that people are going to if there's levels of encryption or VPNs in you So it's there, but I'm not going to spend too much time on it because it's not it's not much of a feature Now we go back over here with identification. You may have noticed we do have support for Network psk wp2 wp3. I seen no option to go fall back They're occasionally for people that have legacy use cases. They may want it to go through like web I know it shouldn't be used in 2020 There are edge cases we've seen where people may want that it only has these options You're looking at all of them here It does have if you're putting this in a larger network The ability to use a radius server for authentication and a secondary backup radius server So that is an option if you wanted to get more advanced on there Then we go over here to options. We got a bandwidth usage unlimited or you can set these options 25 10 5 one and That's it. So everything about this is kind of cut down in basic But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing for most people looking for a simple access point This will work 2.4 and 5 gigahertz 2.4 or 5 only Extend 2.4 range allow far away 2.4 clients connect with enabling lower data rates may slow down network performance This is actually a feature in the way wi-fi works where if there's a really slow further way client it may Caught be detrimental to the local Local closer clients that are attaching to it. So that's a feature you can able I mean play with some of the range testing it later. It goes on beyond the scope of this particular video It does have wi-fi scheduling options. So you can schedule when you want this on off, etc Unrestricted access restricted access and this is where you can you know filter things a bit and then the application options That are at the end there, but we're not using right now Now can you add more than one wi-fi network? Yes, uh, this is an option so you can add Well at least six networks. I had to take a little bit in the documentation It looks like and I found this in a forum post after doing a little reading that there's a maximum of 16 networks you can support I didn't feel like creating 16 of them, but I created these and as you can see they're pretty easy to create Just click add and go now instant on Number of clients is interesting I found wanted to bring this up and while this is a forum post By one of their staff members it's labeled as employee on their forums And it says the client limit because this is not the ssid limit when I was trying to find this I thought this would be of interest to people too the client limit for ruben instant on per ssid per ap This is how many people can attach tonight. It's interesting. It's per ssid So the ap 15, which is the one we're testing The ap 15 has up to a hundred clients per access point So the limit is 64 connecting to a single ap ssid at 2.4 another 64 Connecting to the same ssid at 5 you can also add a second ssid with this with the same max number of clients On the ap second ssid each ssid has its own limits But at that point you'll hit another limit, which is the upper limit of total clients at the ap That's it. So There's a little bit. I'll leave a link to this particular forum post I thought was interesting the way they do it So the maximum number of clients on this right now is only 100 And but it's cumulative between the ssid's and there's a little bit of confusion when I was reading through it But that's why I wanted to share it with you and let you guys read the links on there And this was as of 127 2020. So it was a few months ago. So there's anything changed I didn't find at least maybe through my basic searching didn't find this directly in the documentation Which is also why people were asking in a forum post about this because they didn't find it either All right back to the portal So this is all the wi-fi portals and of course, this is the settings for the Wired side of the network and this is where things get a little basic as I showed you This is a very advanced switch with all kinds of great features that all get well Taking away when you put it into the portal here. So now let's look and go through the inventory And look at the switch itself now. So we can go to connectivity We can set a static IP address we can we know that this is the one connected for uplink It puts a little cloud there, which is nice Then we have all the different switch options. You can activate deactivate name the port. It knows well Not there's a link turn on port control Include all networks to fault or specify only network. So you can create the tagged and untagged ports So you can control the v-lands there Actually, I think I got to cancel that because it thinks I want to change something go here to networks set the Tag done tagged for particular ports link aggregation options And now we reach the end of the options on there They will hopefully in the future add more features to it But right now that's all you can do with this switch and maybe for most people That's perfectly fine being able to set tags and v-lands But it just seems like a shame to have all these advanced routing features in this switch And all the different options it has but not be able to use any of them Or even have an option of logging in locally because you have to switch to the local management Which removes it essentially from here So if we switch to local management just like it says here removes device from the site as well as configuration and Knowledge within the instant portal on the last known configuration will be kept So it does keep the configuration, but you then have to manage it locally So if you had set some v-lands up inside of here, it will retain those But then the device has to be managed locally. So I thought I'd bring that up Now i'm not going to spend much time showing you the app But they do have a phone app and the phone app seems to have most of the same functionality as this You can go through control. It looks the same. It's just kind of a mobile responsive version of it wrapped into an app It also has notifications. It can send you if a device goes offline or online Also of note, you can only add up to 25 access points per site So if you have a job larger than 25 access points, the rub instant on is not going to be the one for you So it's just worth noting of that um in terms of functionality Now other than the dpi data being kind of like a marketing term more sort of than useful It at least it's there So you do have an idea or get some clue as to what the users are doing The other thing on there and I didn't test this but it does have the option not just for captive portal But for captive portal with facebook and I didn't feel like setting it up on my facebook account and doing the sign in But that is something I've seen that was in there So some people ask hey, how hard is that to do if you want them to log into facebook My personal opinion on captive portals is there a nightmare? And generally because people have such good wi-fi Free everywhere or have really good 4g signals People will go to the free one. I've even seen this where a restaurant was like, hey, we're not getting many people Since we put the captive portal on I'm like, yeah, you're adjacent to the restaurant that gives free wi-fi next door And even myself, I don't like signing into captive portals. My phone if it's not going to do it automatically I'll just use my 4g on my phone So I'm never a fan of captive portals. I'm not going to rant too much about that But it is an option on these devices. So in my overall, I don't think these are bad. I do like them I just wish they had more features on the switch Um, I don't know at this moment because I've only done a little bit of testing I can't say whether or not I would run out and start deploying these to the client the good and bad of having a switch that Um can be locally managed obviously I like the local management but bad because its features are kind of nerfed But when it comes to the access points the good and bad about there really easy setup You're looking for no hosting fees. No anything just throw it in the cloud manage it See your client sites and all that awesome the downside The portal Will support these as long as the portal supports these when's the end of life on these? When's that? I mean there are rubas a big company But if they make some type of business change where they decide not to support these there is no local management feature on this These um are only as good as long as that portal supports the devices if they eliminate the portal I will admit They will probably do the last known configuration and continue working But you won't be able to get into them to update or change or modify settings on them anymore on that case So I just wanted to at least throw that out there because this is something i've seen with a lot of products that have Cloud portals where you have no local controller management over if that company makes a change in policy You are always subjected to that change because there's not a locally way to manage it And this is true for a lot of iot devices But it's also true for these particular devices So while they don't have licensing fees, they will only work as long as that portal allows them to work. So Oh, those are my thoughts on it And if anyone does know and if i'm wrong about uh, there are some ways to locally manage it I did not see it in a documentation But if you do know a way feel free to leave a link and I will do a follow-up video on how to locally manage These access points But overall they work and I will probably do at least more follow-up video on some range testing Because I know a lot of people ask about that I can test range testing speed It worked as advertised when it comes to speed but getting really fine-grain Speed test is really hard because well, I've talked about this before on my channel when it comes to wi-fi Really minor things can make a difference in terms of that But I at least can probably stack these up to at least one more Access point and do at least a range test and a general speed test and try to get some averages But that'll be a future video's oscilloscope for this one I just want to introduce you to these products so people can start looking at them and Let me know what you think.

What you see down there, there is an idea for now the apartment development, how I will suspect them, not around here. This is an event that is very important for us today here. We are here to launch the long-ass control operation in Durkhani. The first invasion of the tested locusts in Durkhani was in mid-March. Those were swarms that arrived here and they were looking for places to deposit their eggs. What we are experiencing now are hatchlings, which we call hopas, or rather in the biological terms, they are called nymphs. And these nymph stages is what our focus is to control. Now, with the investment levels of what we really have even now of the hopas, going up to 200 sites already identified, very massive indeed. And therefore we expect a lot of destruction on the browse and vegetation, which is the key source of livelihoods for the Durkhani people. Locusts come as an army. So when you want to go and fight an army, you have to also go as an army. We want to control them as fast as possible before they reach Insta-5 and young adults, who will start again maybe copulating and laying more eggs. So we need to control it very fast because the more you delay, the more they mature and the more disaster. That will come. So you have to deal with them very fast. So far we have already four teams. Each team has got a surveillance, a spray, and then each team again is going to be based in the sub counties so that they would be near the targets. Those are the plans which are in place. And I think the cooperation between FAO support in terms of their facilitation, the government initiative of pushing hard in terms of supporting the spray, ground spraying systems, we are prepared. And I think with the systems that we are put in place in a strong way the way it is now, we are going to finish it up. The challenges are that the desert locusts come in huge numbers. And if you delay the operations of controlling or containing them, either at a hopper stage or at a swarm stage, they can fly into another area and they fly back. Together we can make sure that we will not be overcome. We may not completely eradicate but we will put them under control and ensure that farmers continue but we also strengthen our civilians' efforts. They are not going to end. So we can specify a specific date that by this date they would go. But we can simply say by this date we have contained to a large extent what could have been a disaster. Beyond supporting farmers in the short term, in the long term there is need for strengthening their farming capacity with extension, with recovery efforts, provision of seeds, beyond just our control efforts. So when we put together our assessment efforts, the recovery efforts, they are meant to make sure that agriculture continues and the fight against the hunger is strengthened so that ultimately through Ghana can become food self-sufficient. That's the hope of everyone.
