n 1 COMPUTER NETWORKING

Computer Networking

Many network administrators keep hearing that the network is down

because of some or the other reason. Various researches indicate that in many
cases, the network is down on account of inferior cabling systems. Installing
standard structured cabling systems can eliminate much of this downtime.

A network is two or more computers connected to share resources. In

general term, network can refer to any interconnected group or system. In other
words, network is a method of sharing information between two systems.
Computers are networked according to certain protocols, such as TCP/IP, which
are the rules or standards that allow computers on the network to communicate
with one another.

What is It

Types of Network

Networks can be categorized by several methods, including the technology

used and the size of the network. When networks are categorized by size or
physical area they cover, these are the categories used:

1. Personal Area Network (PAN) – consists of personal devices

communicating at close range such as a cell phone and notebook
computer. PANs can use wired connections (such as USB or
FireWire) or wireless connections (such as Bluetooth or infrared). The
reach of a PAN is typically at least about 20-30 feet (approximately
6-9 meters), but this is expected to increase with technology
improvements.

Figure 2: Personal Area Network

2. Local Area Network (LAN) – covers a small local area such as a

home, office, other building, or small group of buildings. LANs can
use wired (most likely Ethernet) or wireless (most likely Wi-Fi, also
called 802.11) technologies. A LAN is used for workstations, servers,
printers, and other devices to communicate and share resources.

 lOMoARcPSD|51246121

Figure 3: Local Area Network

3. Wireless LAN (WLAN) – covers a limited geographical area and is

popular in places where networking cables are difficult to install,
such as outdoors, in public places, and in homes that are not wired
for networks. They are also useful in hotel rooms.

Figure 4: Wireless Local Area Network

4. Campus Area Network (CAN) – a computer network made up of

an interconnection of local area networks (LANs) within a limited
geographical area. It can be considered one form of a metropolitan
area network, specific to an academic setting.

Figure 5: Campus Area Network

Downloaded by Jerico Obbus (obbusjerico97@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|51246121

5. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) – covers a large campus or

city. (A small MAN is sometimes called a CAN or campus area
network.) Network technologies used can be wireless (most likely
LTE or WiMAX) and/or wired (for example, Ethernet with fiber-optic
cabling).

Figure 6: Metropolitan Area Network

6. Wide Area Network (WAN) –
covers a large geographical area and is made up of many smaller
networks. The best-known WAN is the Internet. Some technologies
used to connect a single computer or LAN to the Internet include
DSL, cable Internet, satellite, cellular WAN, and fiber optic.

Figure 7: Wide Area Network

7. Global Area Network (GAN) – specification is in development by

several groups, and there is no common definition. In general,
however, a GAN is a model for supporting mobile communications
across an arbitrary number of wireless LANs, satellite coverage
areas, etc. The key challenge in mobile communications is "handing
off" the user communications from one local coverage area to the
next. In IEEE Project 802, this involves a succession of terrestrial
WIRELESS local area networks (WLAN).

Figure 8: Global Area Network

8. Virtual Private Network (VPN) – a computer network in which

some of the links between nodes are carried by open connections or
virtual circuits in some larger network (e.g., the Internet) instead of
by physical wires. The data link layer protocols of the virtual network
are said to be tunneled through the larger network when this is the
case. One common application is secure communications through
the public Internet, but a VPN need not have explicit security
features, such as authentication or content encryption.

Figure 9: Virtual Private Network

Network Topology

The physical arrangement of the connections between computers is called

the network topology or the physical topology.

Types of Network Topology

1. Mesh Network
In a mesh network, each node (a computer or other device
that uses the network) on the network is responsible for sending
and receiving transmissions to any other node to which it wants
to communicate without a central point of communication. When
each node connects to every node on the network, the network is
called a fully connected mesh topology.

Downloaded by Jerico Obbus (obbusjerico97@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|51246121

Figure 10: Mesh Network

2. Ring Network
In a ring network, nodes form a ring. Really old IBM Token Ring
networks worked by passing a token around the ring. This
topology is seldom used today because one down computer or a
broken cable can halt all communication on the ring.

Figure 11: Ring Network

3. Bus Network
Another old topology is a bus network whereby all computers
are connected in a sequential line. The bus network worked
better than a ring network because one down computer does not
prevent other computers from communicating on the bus.
However, a broken cable can still bring down an entire bus
network.

Figure 12: Bus Network

4. Star Network
A star network uses a centralized device to manage traffic on
the network. This centralized device can be a switch or hub that
offers multiple network ports or wireless connections. (Hubs are
not as efficient as switches and no longer sold even though you
might still see a hub in use.) Star networks are almost totally
used for LANs today. An advantage of a star network is that one

Downloaded by Jerico Obbus (obbusjerico97@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|51246121

down computer or one broken cable does not bring down the
entire network. When a star network uses multiple switches in
sequence, the switches form a bus network, and the network
topology is called a star bus network or a hybrid network.

Local Area Network (LAN)

Local Area Network – a computer network that interconnects computers within

a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building,
using network media.

Using this network, we can use peripheral connected to one computer such as
printer to print files or documents from another computer.

Materials Used for LAN Cabling Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable

– most common cable used in

computer networking. Number of
twisted-pair wires are often
grouped together and enclosed in
a protective sheath to form a
cable.

Hub – enables computers on a network to

communicate. Each computer plugs into
the hub with an ethernet cable, and
information sent from one computer to
other passes through the hub.

Switch – works the same way as the hub but

they can identify the intended
destination of the information they
receive, so they send that information
to only the computers that are
supposed to receive it. Switch can
receive and send information at the same time.
Bridge – is a computer networking device that
builds the connection with the other
bridge networks which use the same
protocol.
Router – enables computers to communicate
and they can pass information
between two networks such as
between your home network and the
internet.

twisted pair cables in a network.

What is It

Advantages of Networking

1. File Sharing
The major advantage of a computer network is that is allows file
sharing and remote file access.

2. Resource Sharing
Resource sharing is also an important benefit of a computer
network.

3. Increased Storage Capacity

As there is more than one computer on a network which can
easily share files, the issue of storage capacity gets resolved to a
great extent. A standalone computer might fall short of storage
memory, but when many computers are on a network, memory
of different computers can be used in such case. One can also
design a storage server on the network to have a huge storage
capacity.

4. Increased Cost Efficiency

There are many software available in the market which are costly
and take time for installation. Computer networks resolve this
issue as the software can be stored or installed on a system or a
server and can be used by the different workstations.

Disadvantages of Networking

One of the major drawbacks of computer networks is the security
issues involved.

2. Rapid Spread of Computer Viruses

If any computer system in a network gets affected by computer
virus, there is a possible threat of other systems getting affected
too.

3. Expensive Set Up
The initial set up cost of a computer network can be high
depending on the number of computers to be connected.

4. Dependency on the Main File Server In case the main File

Server of a computer network breaks down, the system becomes
useless.

CONFIGURE CLIENT DEVICE
n 4 SYSTEMS

Client Device Settings is a way of configuring your client device

by which you can specify client settings at a collection level, allowing you
to define different settings as necessary. It has the characteristics of being
flexible to create multiple client device or client user settings and apply it
to different collections as per requirement. It is a set of default settings.
But always take note that those Client Device systems settings are
configured in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions and end-user
preferences. In this module, we will show the steps on setting up your
client device on Windows 7, 8 & 10 which are configured manually.

The following are the areas to be configured:

1. Set up Time and Date
2. Set up Computer Name
3. Install and Configure Network Driver
4. Install necessary software application e.i MS Office and
Antivirus

What’s In

Configuring Client Device Systems

Steps on how to configure client device settings:
1. Setting up Time and Date

a. On Windows 10 OS, to set up the Time

and Date go to the right bottom of your
taskbar.

b. Right click on the area of time and date then choose “Adjust
date/time”. Then the date/time settings will appear.
25

c. If you wish to set your date/time automatically just click “ON” at

“Set Time Automatically”. If not, you can turn it off and be the
one to set date/time.
d. You could also set “Time Zone” it is located below change date
and time. You could choose Beijing, Kuala Lumpur or Taipei,
Philippines is none on the choices just choose a time zone that
much on our Time “UTC+8”.

2. Set up Computer Name

a. In setting up your Computer name, go to Start Menu and search

for “My PC”, and other Windows OS version, you can find it on
desktop a computer icon with a name of “My Computer”.

b. Then “Control Panel” will appear. Click on “Change Settings”

button.

 lOMoARcPSD|51246121

c. After clicking “Change Settings”, another Set Up will appear. You

can now change the “Computer Description” and “Computer
Name.”

NOTE: Setting up your computer name is important. This will serve as the
identity of your computer. It will be useful when it comes on
setting up your computer network. The Server/The Network will
identify what PC is being connected or configured.
3. Install and Configure Network Driver

a. In every personal computer, it is necessary to install a network

driver so that your computer will have an access on every
network connection it may need. The first step to do is to select a
Compatible driver’s pack for your PC. It depends on your OS.
Below is an example:

27

Downloaded by Jerico Obbus (obbusjerico97@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|51246121

There are different versions of DriverPack Solution: 15, 14, 13, 12,
11, 10 & 8. You should be careful on choosing a driver pack. It should be
compatible with your PC specification.
After the installation of your network driver, you are ready to
configure your network. To configure the network of your PC, Right-click on
your network connection. You will see this in your System Tray. If you are
connecting your computers through a switch with no router, you will need
to assign each computer on the network its own individual IP address. This
process is handled automatically if you are using a router. Think of an IP
address as a mailing address. Each computer on the network needs a
unique IP address so that information sent across the network reaches the
correct destination.

• Click Open Network and Sharing Center.

• Click the Ethernet link at the top of the window. You will see this
next to "Connections." Click Properties.

• Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Make sure you

do not uncheck it, just highlight it.

Configure Local Area Network

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated
devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to a
server. Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals
connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such as an office
or a commercial establishment. Computers and other mobile devices use
a LAN connection to share resources such as a printer or network storage.

Steps in configuring Local Area Network:

1. Prepare your workplace. It must be clean and dry. Work
on a spacious table. If necessary, work with your PPE. Do
not forget to apply the OHS policies and procedures.
2. Determine the number of computers you want to
connect. The number of computers you are connecting will
determine the type of network hardware you will need.

• If you are connecting four or less computers, you will just

need a single router or one switch if you do not need
internet.
• If you are connecting more than four computers, you will
want a router and a switch, or just a switch if you do not
need internet.

 lOMoARcPSD|51246121

3. Determine your network layout. If you are installing a

permanent LAN solution, you will want to keep cable length
in mind. CAT5 Ethernet cables should not run longer than
250 feet. If you need to cover larger distances, you will
