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 a Wide Area Network (WAN). The plan also includes the hospital maintaining all Macintosh®

system is simple network that connects houses or a business to the central office through a local loop. The local loop is made up of twisted pair cable and cannot exceed 3 miles. In addition the local loop can also include DSL systems to connect computer and phones with a maximum length of 11 miles. DSL transmits at a higher frequency but is still limited in its speed and distance because it is coming over an analog twisted pair line. These connections make up an entire network of interconnected

An automatic fire alarm system is an active fire protection system designed to detect the unwanted presence of fire by monitoring environmental changes associated with combustion. In general, a fire alarm system is either classified as automatic, manually activated, or both. The basic modern system consists of a dependable primary power supply, a secondary or backup power supply, any number of "initiating devices" and "notification appliances." Automatic fire alarm systems can be used to notify people

function is open to opinion. Most networks use a cable known in the industry as an unshielded twisted pair (UTP), usually containing four pairs of wires that can transmit and receive data. Cabling and hubs operate at the Layer 1 (Physical) layer of the OSI model. In the command window, when the utility to show the IP address and other NIC information is run, the MAC address is listed as the Physical address in the third section of the information. All NICs on the same network must use the same frame type

from the Physical layer of the source device over network communications media to the Physical layer of the destination device. It is dealing with bit level transmission between different devices and gives support of electrical and mechanical interfaces to the physical medium for synchronized communication. Here are the examples of Physical Layer technologies covers Ethernet cables. Additionally, hubs, Cables and other repeaters are standard network devices that function at the Physical layer, as

area network (LAN) is a communication network that interconnects a variety of data communicating devices within a small geographic area and broadcasts data at high data transfer rates with very low error rates. Since the local area network first appeared in the 1970s, its use has become widespread in commercial and academic environments. It would be very difficult to imagine a collection of personal computers within a computing environment that does not employ some form of local area network. This

LAN Topologies IT/240 Intro to LAN Technologies 4/29/2014 Farooq Afzal Case 3-1 In my opinion a client/server system with an extended star topology would be the best choice for Old-Tech Corporation. I would replace the 10 Mbps Ethernet cord with an 100 Mbps Ethernet cord to ensure a faster more reliable connection. The extended star topology will allow each computer to have access to shared files and the administrator can delegate which computer has access to which information within the
