...Physical Networking Unit 2 Assignment 1. The American National Standards Institute is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. The organization also coordinates U.S. standards with international standards so that American products can be used worldwide. For example, standards ensure that people who own cameras can find the film they need for that camera anywhere around the globe. ANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of standards developing organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others. These standards ensure that the characteristics and performance of products are consistent, that people use the same definitions and terms, and that products are tested the same way. ANSI also accredits organizations that carry out product or personnel certification in accordance with requirements defined in international standards. 2.

...The Benefits of Twisted Pair Cable Introduction to Networking October 29, 2013 Ocper Inc. is a small company that has no one dedicated to information technology or networking on the staff, and there are 20 Windows peer-to-peer client computers all connected via coax cabling. The president has indicated that the company plans to double in size over the next two years, but she is weary of drastically changing the computing environment. This is my first assignment, but I feel that I have a very good plan to help give them a faster, more secure, and efficient network. The first change that I would recommend would be to move away from a peer-to-peer network to a client/server network. I would explain that there are many advantages to switching to a client/server network such as (Dean, 2009): * User logon accounts and passwords for anyone on a server-based network can be assigned in one place. * Access to multiple shared resources (such as data files or printers) can be centrally granted to a single user or groups of users. * Problems on the network can be monitored, diagnosed, and often fixed from one location. * Servers are optimized to handle heavy processing loads and dedicated to handling requests from clients, enabling faster response time. * Because of their efficient processing and larger disk storage, servers can connect more than a handful of computers on a network. The advantages of a client/server far outweigh any possible disadvantages. ...

...Unit 4 Assignment 1 Copper vs. Fiber Pape The two most common and widely used cabling types today for the means of communication all over the world are copper and fiber. They both do the same thing, transmit information from point A to point B but both have their strengths and weaknesses and therefore, a person installing cabling may be reluctant to choose one over the other. Copper cabling is less expensive to install. Copper wiring is flexible when installing so incase a technician has to bend it around a wall or at a certain angle to reach it to an end point, the cable can handle it. Also equipment to support copper wiring is relatively inexpensive to run. The weaknesses to copper wiring would be that it is susceptible to electromagnetic inference (EMI) from outside forces and also has a higher rate of corrosion over time by oxidation. Fiber optic cabling is a more expensive option for communications. Fiber optic cabling is immune to EMI and other noise interferences and therefore the chance of signal loss is greatly reduced. One drawback on this type of cabling is that just like its copper; fiber optic cabling is very durable and tough making it harder to work with when it comes to installing it. A technician will have to be very well trained in handling it to get the most out of it for the customer. But fiber optic cabling has a much higher bandwidth over copper so it can handle much more traffic as well as at higher speeds than copper wiring. In the real world, one...

...Carlyle Brown Network Protocols and Standards Week 3 Homework 1. When was the first major standard describing a structured cabling system released? c. 1995 2. Why is balance an issue in UTP cables, and what is TCL? i. The balance or symmetry of the signal over the wire pairs helps minimize unwanted leakage of the signal. ii. TCL - Transverse Conversion Loss - The TCL measurement is obtained by applying a common-mode signal to the input and measuring the differential signal level on the output. a. TCL is sometimes called LCL (Longitudinal Conversion Loss). The ELTCLT value (expressed in dB) is the difference between the TCTL and the differential mode insertion loss of the pair being measured. TCTL is the loss from a balanced signal at the near-end to the unbalanced signal at the far end. Section 2-2 1.

...LAN Topologies It 240 Week 2 Assignment: LAN Topologies IT/240 Week 2 Assignment 1. Case Project 2-1 With a network of 50 computers I will use the Ring Topology to upgrade this network. With this type of topology all the devices are connecting in a loop form and the information travels in one direction, thus avoiding collisions. Here the cabling doesn’t terminate, it continually goes from one device to another till it gets back to the original device. It is also easier to manage the network since all the information is passed around the ring in the same direction. 2. Case project 2-2 With that many computer and four servers, I will use an Extended Star Topology. As pointed out in the case project that there are a few switches available here, I will use a central switch and connect the rest of the available switches to it and connect the 200 PC’s to those switches. Switches are good for determining each individual packet’s destination and ensuring that they are delivered to the right device. Note- Even though they might have two different uses in some cases, the hubs in my diagram represent the switches.

...You Decide Assignment Charter School LAN Upgrade Proposal Stakeholder Anxieties Any strategy to enhance and promote the Leonard Cooper network should first resolve the present state of affairs. The outcomes of meetings and interviews with four stakeholders divulge that; 1) the current network becomes very jam packed, cashes increase, and throughput decelerates when teachers concurrently report on attendance and check on email. 2) 50 network printers still get all filled up. 3) Current network bandwidth is 10 Mb. 4) The HVAC technician believes it would be really suitable to have wireless access points. 5) Each of the 23 classrooms in the recent wing must be added to the network. 6) Leisurely connections to the remote mail server. 7) Wanting to integrate VoIP into the existing data network and 8) the previous and new wing backbone switches just 120 meters separately are connected by slow twisted-pair wiring. The Favored Resolution Package The truly pressing conundrum that requires resolving is the present network capacity that prevails at just 10 Mb. The favored resolution here is Category 6 UTP 1000Base F Ethernet cabling because it boosts the greatest data transmission rate a hundredfold from 10 Mb to 1 gigabyte per second. Such bandwidth addresses the objectives of the HVAC technician for remote access to his devices. Even more significant, such a transmission rate unclutters the congestion faced when the seven networked classrooms concurrently dispatch attendance...

...THE BENEFITS OF TWISTED PAIR CABLE Recommended Changes and Benefits As I am a consultant for NCF, the Networking Consultant Firm and my first assignment are at Ocper, Inc. We will first study to their current networking and current technology that they are using. First, they have use coax cable to connect 20 windows peer to peer computers. The president had told me that he expect his company to be expand and double in size, in the next two years. What NCF will recommend is to take a closer look at benefit of twisted pair cable. Since the business now needs to connect 20 computers, I would explain how twisted pair cable will help them. Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one network device to another. There are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable, other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the network's topology, protocol, and size. They need to be more understand their current situation so; it could help them to get the highest performance from it. The twisted pair cable come with in two varieties; shielded and unshielded twisted pair. For this case, I would choose the unshielded twisted pair to be the solution because this cable is the least expensive cable, there are pro and cons, it may be susceptible to radio and electrical frequency interference (it should not be too close to electric motors, fluorescent...

...all the data in case data loss should occur. I would recommend they switch to a twisted pair wiring because there are several advantages for the use of twisted pair cabling. It is very flexible to make it very easy to work with. It is also less expensive than coax cable. The reason why twisted pair cable has become so popular is because networking protocols and standards were designed to support twisted pair wiring. There are a few disadvantages such as the casing; the sheath around the twisted pair networking cabling that is relatively thin. It doesn’t have a second insulator like coax and it is a bit more susceptible to electromagnetic interference, and twisted pair is a bit more susceptible to eavesdropping. A virtual private network (VPN) is a private network that interconnects remote (and often geographically separate) networks through primarily public communication infrastructures such as the Internet. VPNs provide security through tunneling protocols and security procedures such as encryption. For example, a VPN could be used to securely connect the branch offices of an organization to a head office network through the public Internet. A VPN can also be used to interconnect two similar-type networks over a dissimilar middle network for example, two IPv6 networks over an IPv4 network. There are two main types of...
