Networks
Questions that need to be answered concerning networks?– How will each computer be identified?– What kind of wire should you run in between them?– If more than one PC is accessing the same file, how
can they be prevented from destroying each others changes to that file?
– How can access to data and peripherals be controlled?

Networks
Networks can be broken down into four areas:– Hardware– Protocols– Network– Shared Resources
![Page 4: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Hardware
How the PC’s will be linked All cables in a network come together in a
box called a hub data is moved from one PC to another in
discreet chunks called packets or frames every network card(NIC) has a built in
identifier called a Media Access Control or MAC address
![Page 5: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hardware
Every NIC in the world has a unique MAC address - 48 bit binary address
So when you send out a frame it contains not only the data that you intend to send, but also your MAC address and the MAC address of the person that you wish to send it to.

Hardware
Topology - the different configurations of cabling between computers
2 types of topologies are commonly used today, even though there are numerous:– Bus Topology– Ring Topology
![Page 7: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Bus Topology
Bus topology means that all PCs are connected via a single cable that runs to all PCs. (page 1147)
Every device must first wait to see if someone is sending packets before they can send a packet.
Every NIC on the bus sees and reads each packet. Called CSMA/CD
![Page 8: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bus Topology
Sometimes 2 cards do talk at the same time. This is called a collision.
A terminator must be placed at the end of the bus so that there is no signal bounce (just like a SCSI chain)
If the line breaks than the termination is useless and data can’t be sent because of signal bounces
![Page 9: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ring Topology
Connects all PC’s together but instead of a straight line it is more like a ring
Use a transmission called token passing– a mini packet called a token constantly passes
from one card to the next in one direction. If one PC wants to talk to another it must wait until it gets the token. Because of this you will hear the word token ring used when describing ring networks
![Page 10: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Star Ring / Star Bus
Token Ring actually uses a topology called star ring. Instead of running a ring of cable all around the LAN, the ring is stored inside a special box called a Multi-Station Access Unit (MSAU) or a MAU
Star bus - shrinking a bus into a hub, so that networks don’t collapse unless the hub breaks

Hardware Protocols
A consortium of companies wrote a series of standards that defined everything necessary to get data from one computer to another. This series of standards was called Ethernet
Coaxial cable - oldest of all types of network cable– only cable used in bus topologies, with a few
exceptions
![Page 12: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Thick Ethernet
Can hook up to 100 devices on one segment, segments can run up to 500 meters
Clearly marked every 2.5 m Connect to devices via a vampire connector The cable from the vampire to the device must
be no longer than 50 m Uses a DB15 connector Becoming obsolete because of high cost
![Page 13: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ThinNet (Thin Ethernet)
Invented as a cheap alternative to Thicknet Uses a specific type of coax cable - RG-58, looks
like cable wires but different Supports only 30 devices per segment, segments
can be up to 185 m long Plus side
– much thinner, makes it easier to work with– the transceiver is built into the Thinnet card– has twist on connectors, called BNC connectors
![Page 14: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
10BaseT
Most popular of all networks today runs on UTP (unshielded twisted pair), 8
strands twisted together - p.1159 UTP comes in categories which define
maximum speed, most networks use CAT5 which runs up to 100Mbps, but not that quick yet - p.1159
Uses RJ45 connectors
![Page 15: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
10BaseT
RJ45 uses only two pairs of wires, the other four are currently useless
Color code on p. 1162 Max. distance from hub to device is 100 m. 10BaseT hubs act as repeaters You can actually hook 2 10BaseT NICs
without a hub, just connect them with a crossover cable
![Page 16: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other Ethernet
Repeater - electronic device that amplifies the signal on a line.– Used to extend the useful length of a cable
segment beyond its specified maximum
Fast Ethernet - same as 10BaseT but 100Mbps
![Page 17: Chapter 20 Networks. 4 Questions that need to be answered concerning networks? –How will each computer be identified? –What kind of wire should you run](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e155503460f94aff05e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Fiber Optic Ethernet
Best type of cabling you can get– uses light instead of electricity, so it avoids any
electrical problems– travels much farther - 2000 m
Standard is called 10Base FL, or FX Why isn’t it used most often?
– Very expensive to install and upgrade– Mainly used for a backbone (connects the hubs)

Protocols
Protocols - rules that networks follow when sending/receiving data– IPX/SPX - developed by Novell (first one)
– NetBEUI - developed by IBM as the default for Windows
– TCP/IP - developed by the government, default for NT as well as the Internet
– AppleTalk - developed by Apple for use with Apple computers

Network Operating System (NOS)
Client/Server - dedicating one machine to act as a “server”. It’s only function is to serve up resources to the other machines
Peer-to-peer - every computer can act as both a server and a client– much cheaper than C/S, but security is problem
Domain-based - used for larger networks, provides a centralized security function– you need Windows NT or 2000

NICs
Make sure when installing that you use the disk that comes with it, most are PnP
If using a legacy card, you must go to setup
Networks– LAN - Local area network– WAN - Wide area network– MAN - Metropolitan area network

Other things to know
Router - redirects data from one network to another, a smart device
Default gateway - Basically one computer to which data is sent in a LAN in order to communicate with the Internet
