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

The problem is

. . .

. . . standalone computers

have no way to talk to

each other, so attempts at

communication fail.

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.

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.
