Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transmitted through the network (“data pipe”)

Network Bandwidth (Capacities)

Networking Basics

• There are many pieces that make up the network. Generally, there is a PC, network connection, network wiring, network hardware (routers, switches) and if there is external communication, an ISP (internet service provider).

• NOTE: throughput through the network is only as fast as the slowest segment because many factors effect the actual amount of data that can be carried.

Revision d1

Network Bandwidth – SpeedUnderstanding the speeds of

networking

Networking Basics

• Speeds are generally expressed in terms of millions of bits per second as megabit.

• Typical Ethernet networks are 100 megabits.

• Newer Ethernet networks are 1 gigabit and can carry 1,000,000,000 (billion) bits per second.

Revision d1

Typical bandwidth usage by eMerge

Networking Basics

• Network Controller to Expansion Node Programming = 1 megabit per second maximum

• Network Controller to Expansion Node normal operation =25 kb per second maximum

• Network Controller to computer=75 kb per second maximum

Revision d1

MAC Address: this is a unique number set at the factory for each Ethernet device. The MAC Address cannot be defined by a user or Network Admin. It is hard- coded.

TCP/IP Address information

TCP/IP Addressing, commonly referred to as IP Addressing is how devices known as Hosts (PC, Server, Router, eMerge) are identified on a Ethernet Network.

The components of IP Addressing;

IP Address: a unique 32-bit binary number that identifies the Host on a network.

Subnet Mask: a 32-bit binary number that identifies which portion of the IP Address is the Network ID and which is the Host ID.

Networking Basics

Revision d1

Lab Exercise: View/Change IP address

A MAC Address is PERMENANT

What is a MAC Address?

The MAC Address of an Ethernet device is programmed at the factory and is a unique number worldwide.

A 12 digit hexadecimal number (shown in black) that uniquely identifies an Ethernet Appliance from all others.

Networking Basics

Revision d1

What is an IP Address?

• An IP address is like your telephone number or your home address, each one is entirely unique. Every computer on the Internet has its very own IP address.

• The standard format is four groups of numbers called octets that are separated by periods, and each number is an integer between 0 and 255.

• For example, a typical IP address would look like this: 192.168.0.250

• In order for two devices on the same network to communicate with each other, they must have

the same first three octets (Network ID). In the example above, to communicate to that device, your PC must have the same first 3 octets and a unique 4th octet [192.168.0].251

Networking Basics

Revision d1

Network ID

In the diagram below there are 2 PCs on the same network segment.

The network segment has the IP Address scheme of 192.168.0.X

In this case the Network ID is composed of the first 3 octets of the IP Address.

Networking Basics

Revision d1

Host ID

In the diagram below there are 2 PCs on the same network segment.

The PCs or Network Hosts each have their own Host ID.

In this case the Host ID is composed of the last octet in the IP Address.

Networking Basics

Revision d1

A private address is local to the LAN or WAN of the facility and is determined by the DHCP server on the premises or the Network Administrator of the facility.

192.168.0.21192.168.0.20

IP Addresses come in “public” and “private”

A public address is assigned by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) e.g. Verizon. This is the Internet connection for the facility.

Networking Basics

Revision d1

An IP Address may be DYNAMIC or STATIC

A Static IP Address is assigned by the Network Administrator. The Network Administrator will actually type in the IP Address of the Host device and this IP Address will not expire or change by itself. Usually needed for key network devices such as routers, servers and printers. The eMerge Network Controller will require a Static IP Address.

A Dynamic IP Address is assigned automatically by the DHCP Server of the network. This IP Address can be setup to expire requiring the Host to get a new IP Address from the DHCP server. This method is used in both Public and Private networks.

Networking Basics

Revision d1

Ports and Port Usage

• Ports allow multiple data streams to go to a single address

– Port numbers used by eMerge• 80 is the default for web servers

using HTTP

• 3306 is the default for database servers

• 7262 is for Network Controller auto recognition of nodes

– Routers can restrict which ports are available

– You may need to have the network administrator unblock or allow access on port 7262 for eMerge communication.
