NETWORKS

What you want . . .

. . . is for all your computers to be

able to:

●Communicate -- send

and receive e-mail, and

participate in

conferences

●Share information --

transfer files among

systems, and get

information from central

databases

●Share resources -- use

shared printers,

scanners, and servers

NETWORKS

The problem is . . .

. . . standalone computers have

no way to talk to each other, so

attempts at communication fail.

NETWORKS

The solution: a local

area network

A local area network (or LAN)

provides connections that tie the

computers together and allow

them to communicate. (The most

common type of local area

network may also be referred to

as an Ethernet LAN or an

Ethernet.)

Local area networks can be

either wired (as shown here) or

wireless. We will look at the

different types in the next few

pages.

NETWORKS

Wired LANs

As the name implies, a wired

LAN connects computers (and

other network devices)

physically, using wires. A typical

LAN uses twisted-pair wiring

(similar to telephone wiring) to

connect each computer to a

central hub. The hub transmits

network communications

between computers.

Wired LANs offer high-speed

communication, as well as

reasonable security and

reliability. In general, however,

they are not as flexible as

wireless LANs.

Most wired LANs conform to the

IEEE 802.3 standard. The most

common wiring schemes use

twisted-pair wiring or thin

coaxial wiring.

DETAIL

Wiring: twisted-pair

The most common wiring used

for LANs is twisted-pair wiring,

similar to the wiring used for

telephones. This wiring connects

the computers or other network

devices to a central hub. The use

of telephone-type wiring makes

it easy for the persons who

administer your telephone

wiring to administer the network

wiring as well.

RJ-45 connectors are used to

connect the twisted-pair wiring

to the computer and to the hub.

The wire for a network can be

graded in a number of

categories; Category 5 wiring is

the most popular grade. Category

5 wiring has superior electrical

characteristics, and we strongly

recommend it for all twisted-pair

networking applications. The

wire grade is usually marked on

the cable jacket.

The equipment for a twisted-pair

LAN commonly operates at a

data rate of either 10 Mbps

(megabits per second) or 100

Mbps. Category 5 wiring is

required for 100-Mbps

operation. A 10-Mbps LAN can

run on either Category 3 or

Category 5 wiring (though we

strongly recommend Category 5).

At either data rate, cables may

extend up to 100 meters (328

feet) from the hub to the

computer.

A twisted-pair network running

at 10 Mbps is called a type

10Base-T network. A twisted-

pair network running at 100

Mbps is called a type 100Base-T

network.
