The purpose of this course is to provide a foundation for understanding IP (Internet Protocol). It is appropriate for both beginners and individuals looking to formalise and increase their IP networking knowledge. With the vast majority of subsystems now having the ability to be converged over an IP network, this is arguably the most important topic to make sure that you have a solid foundation in.
Topics covered include:
- Understanding the 7 layer OSI Model and how it relates to networking (essential learning)
- Applying the OSI model to residential network structure and setup
- Recognising and understanding basic network hardware
- IP Addressing - using the right addresses for the right job
- Basic network troubleshooting
By the end of this course, participants should be able to: explain common network protocols such as TCP, UDP, IP, DHCP, DNS, and NAT, understand
the functions of a consumer router in a wired environment and begin basic troubleshooting in a consumer level IP network.
The crowded WiFi spectrum is busy! It’s essential that AV engineers understand wireless technology to ensure fast and reliable service to their customers. This one-day course starts by going ‘back to basics’. It will explore RF terms of data speed, frequency and coverage. It will also examine the configuration of wireless access points in both single and multiple cell configurations.
Finally wireless survey tools will demonstrated to establish likely conflicts and sources of interference. This course assumes a fundamental knowledge of IP networks.
Typical subjects covered include:
- Understanding Wireless as a physical media
- Radio Frequency transmission as part of the Electromagnetic spectrum
- Controlling and maximising wireless coverage using different Antenna types
- Protecting wireless networks with wireless security
- Expanding wireless networks with additional access points
- Controlling wireless networks with management systems
The technical design of a high performance
Home Cinema is not a subjective decision.
For every parameter, there is a standard that
should be observed in order to offer a truly
immersive entertainment experience. This
course will examine those standards and give
you an insight into the importance of designing
cinemas using standards based engineering
calculations rather than subjective guesswork.
The morning will be classroom based where
the instructor will introduce the standards and
the engineering skills necessary to apply them.
By the end of this course, delegates will
understand how applying engineering
standards to cinema design ensures a high
standard of repeatable performance.
The CEDIA CPD course ‘Designing Integrated Future-Ready Homes’ is a very powerful way of promoting the industry to architectural practices, and also a useful tool for promoting your business and obtaining a substantial amount of sales leads through the course. Available to all CEDIA Members, this one-day CEDIA Outreach Instructor (COI) workshop, will teach you the basic skills necessary to deliver an effective presentation, whilst also allowing you to get a clearer understanding about the course.
