Coc2 Set-Up Computer Networks

The document discusses setting up computer networks including installing network cables, configuring network settings, and setting router, Wi-Fi, and wireless access point configurations. It then describes different types of computer networks like local area networks (LANs) and virtual private networks (VPNs). Finally, it outlines various network equipment, materials, and their functions such as hubs, switches, network interface cards, wireless routers, access points, printers, cable testers, RJ45 connectors, modular boxes, and UTP cable.

Different Types of Computer Network

  Local Area Network (LAN) 

- Supplies networking capability to a group of computers in close proximity to each other such
as in an office building, a school, or a home. A LAN is useful for sharing resources like files,
printers, games or other applications.

 Virtual Private Network (VPN)

- Technology included in Windows Server 2003 helps enable cost-effective, secure remote
access to private networks. VPN allows administrators to take advantage of the Internet to
help provide the functionality and security of private WAN connections at a lower cost. In
Windows Server 2003, VPN is enabled using the Routing and Remote Access service. VPN is
part of a comprehensive network access solution that includes support for authentication
and authorization services, and advanced network security technologies.
Network Equipments

 Patch panel

- A patch panel, patch bay, patch


field or jack field is a device or unit
featuring a number of jacks,
usually of the same or similar type,
for the use of connecting and
routing circuits for monitoring,
interconnecting, and testing
circuits in a convenient, flexible manner. Patch panels are commonly
used in computer networking, recording studios,
and radio and television.

 Network Hub

- When referring to a network, a hub is the


most basic networking device that connects
multiple computers or other network
devices together. Unlike a network switch or
router, a network hub has no routing tables
or intelligence on where to send information and broadcasts all
network data across each connection. Most hubs can detect basic
network errors such as collisions, but having all information broadcast
to multiple ports can be a security risk and cause bottlenecks. In the
past network hubs were popular because they were much cheaper
than a switch and router, but today most switches do not cost much
more than a hub and are a much better solution for any network.

- In general, a hub refers to a hardware device that enables multiple


devices or connections to be connected to a computer. Another
example besides the one given above is a USB hub, which allows
dozens of   to be connected to one computer, even though that
computer may only have a few USB connections. The picture is an
example of a USB hub.

 Network Switch

- A network switch (also
called switching hub, bridging hub,
officially MAC Bridge) is a computer
networking device that connects
devices together on a computer
network, by using packet switching to
receive, process and forward data to
the destination device. Unlike less advanced network hubs, a network
switch forwards data only to one or multiple devices that need to
receive it, rather than broadcasting the same data out of each of its
ports.

Network Controller/Network Interface Card

- A network interface controller (NIC, also


known as a network interface
card, network adapter, LAN
adapter or physical network interface
and by similar terms) is a computer
hardware component that connects
a computer to a computer network.
Wireless Router

- A wireless router is a device that performs the


functions of a router and also includes the
functions of a wireless access point. It is used
to provide access to the Internet or a
private computer network. It can function in a
wired LAN (local area network), in a wireless-
only LAN (WLAN), or in a mixed
wired/wireless network, depending on the
manufacturer and model.

 Wireless Access point

- In computer networking, a wireless access


point(AP) is a device that
allows wireless devices to connect to a wired
network using Wi-Fi, or related standards. The
AP usually connects to a router (via a wired
network) as a standalone device, but it can also be an integral
component of the router itself.

 Printer

- In computing, a printer is a peripheral which


makes a persistent human readable
representation of graphics or text on paper or
similar physical media. The two most common
printer mechanisms are black and white laser
printers used for common documents, and color
inkjet printers which can produce high quality
photograph quality output.
 Cable Tester/Network Tester

- A cable tester is a device that is used to test the


strength and connectivity of a particular type of
cable or other wired assemblies. There are a
number of different types of cable testers, each
able to test a specific type of cable or wire (some
may be able to test different types of cables or
wires

Network Materials

 RJ 45

- Short for Registered Jack-45, an eight-wire


connector used commonly to connect computers
onto local-area networks (LAN), especially
Ethernets. RJ-45 connectors look similar to the
ubiquitous RJ-11 connectors used for connecting
telephone equipment, but they are somewhat wider.

 Modular Box

- Use to in a large building, usually place on the wall to


connect telephone lines or network cable easily.

 UTP Cable

- Unshielded Twisted Pair cable is most certainly


by far the most popular cable around the world.
UTP cable is used not only for networking but
also for the traditional telephone.
 Crimping tool

Wire stripper

Patch Down Tool
