location has its own Local Area Network (LAN). Network Architecture. The topology of the networks varies from site to site. The network of the Corporate Headquarters and the location in China both use a bus topology in both networks there is a single 100BaseT line that is either connected to a server or an interface device. The other two site Albany, Georgia and Pontiac, Michigan both use what seems to be a partial mesh topology or a hybrid topology. The servers on these networks are all connected

radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams. Different Types of Networks • Depending upon the geographical area covered by a network, it is classified as: – Local Area Network (LAN) – Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) – Wide Area Network (WAN) – Personal Area Network (PAN) Local Area Network (LAN) • A LAN is a network that is used for communicating among computer devices, usually within an office building or home. • LAN’s enable the sharing of resources such as files or hardware devices

The administrative function areas are • Information Technology Department • Admitting/Discharge • Facilities • Human Resources • Hospital Senior Management • Finance Data transmission The hospital uses a technology named Local Area Network (LAN) to transmit data/information within the hospital. The two main reasons to use this technology are for information sharing, and resource sharing. Information sharing allows users to access and modify the same data files, exchange information via e-mail

Computer Network A computer network is a group of computers that are interconnected by electronic circuits or wireless transmissions of various designs and technologies for the purpose of exchanging data or communicating information between them or their users. Networks may be classified according to a wide variety of characteristics. This article provides a general overview of types and categories and also presents the basic components of a network. Introduction A computer network allows sharing

Final Project NTC/362 Fundamentals of Networking Dean McIntyre 2 The Patton-Fuller Community Hospital looks to upgrade their Information Technology (IT) capability beginning with their networks. The characteristics, components, and topology are evaluated to properly identify the needs for the new network design. The plan includes converting to a Wireless Local Area Network otherwise known as (WLAN), installing a Voice over Internet Protocol otherwise known as (VoIP), and design

Lab2.3 Exercise 2.3.1 Briefly define LAN, MAN, PAN, and WAN. What is the critical distinction for these networks? What is the classification metric used here? LAN=Local Area Network-A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building, using network media. MAN=Metropolitan Area Network- A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects users with computer resources in

amongst the buildings, which means we have to build a backbone to connect all three LANs. Before addressing the connectivity issues amongst the buildings, lets first look at the current topologies in each building; 2 Ethernet and token ring. I recommend going with Ethernet, it is a simpler topology, which has less room for errors. With 100 computers in each building I would recommend 100base-T Switched Ethernet LANs, in all three buildings. The type of circuit is dedicated point to point. In order
