What is Network?
A network is a
collection of computers
and related equipment
(printers, webcams,
game consoles, etc.)
connected so that data
can move between
them. Even if you have
a single computer, it
looks to the Internet as
part of a network. The
Internet, then, is a
network of networks.

Three Basic Network Categories

 Local Area Network- the smallest of the three network types,
consist of PCs connected together within a limited area, such as
within the same building, floor or department.
 Metropolitan Area Network – are network that spans no more than
50 miles. It is design to connect LANs spanning a town or city
 Wide Area Network – used to distribute information thousands of
miles among thousands of users.

Network Hardware

Network Interface Card

(NIC) – also called LAN
card, a printed circuit
board, an adapter
that plugs into the computer’s
motherboard when connected
with a network cable, provides
the physical link between your
computer and the network.
Router – a device that forwards
data packets between Local or
Wide Area Network groups.

Network Cable

Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from

one network device to another. There are several types of cable which
are commonly used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize
only one type of cable, other networks will use a variety of cable
types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the
network's topology, protocol, and size.

Examples of network media:

1. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable

2. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable
3. Coaxial Cable
4. Fiber Optic Cable
5. Wireless LANs

1. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable

The least expensive and most

popular network media. The standard
connector for unshielded twisted pair
cabling is an RJ-45 connector. This is a
plastic connector that looks like a large
telephone-style

2. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable

Although UTP cable is the least

expensive cable, it may be susceptible
to radio and electrical frequency
interference (it should not be too close
to electric motors, fluorescent lights,
etc.). If you must place cable in
environments with lots of potential
interference, or if you must place
cable in extremely
sensitive environments that may be susceptible to the electrical current
in the UTP, shielded twisted pair may be the solution. Shielded
cables can also help to extend the maximum distance of the cables.

3. Coaxial Cable

Coaxial cabling has a single

copper conductor at its center. A
plastic layer provides insulation
between the center conductor and a
braided metal
shield. The metal shield helps to block any outside interference
from fluorescent lights, motors, and other computers. This cable is
commonly used by television industries.
 4. Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cabling consists of

a center glass core surrounded by
several layers of protective materials.
It transmits light rather than electronic
signals eliminating the problem of
electrical interference. This makes it
ideal for certain
environments that contain a large amount of electrical interference.

5. Wireless LANs

More and more networks are operating without cables, in the

wireless mode. Wireless LANs use high frequency radio signals,
infrared light beams, or lasers to communicate between the
workstations, servers, or hubs. Each workstation and file server on a
wireless network has some sort of transceiver/antenna to send and
receive the data.

Wireless networks are great for allowing laptop computers,

portable devices, or remote computers to connect to the LAN.

CABLE INSTALLATION GUIDES

The two most common network cable:

1. Straight through cable – Connected from PC to switch/hub

2. Crossover cable – Connected from Pc to PC (limited to two computers

only)

What is RJ45?
RJ stands for Registered Jacks. These are used in telephone
and data jack wiring registered with FCC. RJ-11 is a 6-position, 4-
conductor jack used in telephone wiring, and RJ-45 is a 8-position,
8-conductor jack used in 10BaseT and 100BaseT Ethernet wiring.

 INFORMATION SHEET 4.1

Testing Your Computer Network

You’ve set up all your network switches, plugged in all the cables,
and configured all your computers. One task remains before you can
declare your network finished: You must verify that the network
works as expected.

Here are a few simple tests you can conduct to make sure your
network is functional.

 Check the physical connections.

Check that the Link light — the little red or green light
next to the RJ-45 port — is lit on every computer. You must
check this light both on the computer itself and on the switch
or router the computer is plugged into. If this light is not on,
you have a connection problem — most likely a bad cable.

 Verify that you can log on.

When you’re sure the physical connections are good, you should
attempt to
log on to each of your network computers using a valid domain user
account.

 Check the network configuration.

Click the Start button, type cmd and press Enter. Then,
enter the command <ipconfig /all> and press Enter.

IP Address (Version
4) 192.168.8.101

Default Gateway
192.168.8.1
 This command will spit out numerous lines of information. The line
you’re
looking for should resemble this:
 IPv4 Address..............................192.168.1.125(Preferred)

 Verify that the computers can ping each other.

Another basic test you should perform is to use the ping
command from a command prompt to make sure that the
computers on your network can contact one another.

Ping another computer (LAN only)

Click the Start button, type cmd and press Enter. Then,
enter the command PING 192.168.8.100 and press Enter.

Ping a website (WAN-Internet)

Click the Start button, type cmd and press Enter. Then,
enter the command PING 192.168.8.100 and press Enter.
 INFORMATION SHEET 4.2

What is an IP Address?

An Internet Protocol address (IP address) in layman’s terms is

basically the address given to your computer when it’s connected to
a network. Technically speaking, an IP address is a 32-bit number
that signifies the address of both the sender and receiver of packets
on a network.

Class Address Range Supports

Class A 1.0.0.1 to 126.255.255.254 Large networks with many devices

Class B 128.1.0.1 to 191.255.255.254 Medium-sized networks.

Class C 192.0.1.1 to 223.255.254.254 Small networks (fewer than 256 devices)

Class D 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 Reserved for multicast groups.

Reserved for future use, or Research and

Class E 240.0.0.0 to 254.255.255.254
Development Purposes.

The two main types of IP Address

1. Static IP Address

As the name speaks, the static IP addresses are those types of IP

address that never change once they are assigned to a device on
a network. No doubt this type of addressing is cost effective but
could have a high security risk. Static IP addresses are mostly
used by web, email and gaming servers who don’t care much
about hiding their locations.

2. Dynamic IP Address

On the other hand, a Dynamic IP address changes each

time the device logs in to a network. This kind of IP address is
very tough to trace and are thus used by companies and
business firms.

You must be thinking as to who or what allocates this

Dynamic IP address every time the device logs in. Well, these IP
address are assigned using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol). Talking about DHCP in detail is beyond the scope of
this article and we will take it up in a future post.
How to set a Static IP Address

Normally, your computer’s IP Address has a dynamic IP

Address. To find out your computer’s Dynamic IP simply click the
Start button, type cmd and press Enter. Then, enter the command
IPCONFIG and press Enter.

To permanently set it as your Static IP

1. Right click on Wifi icon (Laptop) or LAN icon (PC) at

the notification bar and select Open Network and Sharing
Center

2. Select Change adapter settings 3. Right click Local Area

Connection
and select Properties
4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 and click on Properties
5. Select Use the following IP address and enter the IP addresses
from the command prompt (IPCONFIG).

Note: If you change the default gateway and preferred DNS server,
you will lose your internet connection.
