INFORMATION SHEET No. 2.1-2
Different Terminals and Networks connectivity
Learning Objectives
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to;
1. determine different network connectivity and;
2. uses of different network devices.
This information teaches you to understand network

connectivity using different network devices. Understand the
functions and uses of devifferent divices.
Network Devices
A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is

connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and
its ISP's network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more
networks connect.
Routers use headers and forwarding tables to determine the best path for
forwarding the packets, and they use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with
each other and configure the best route between any two hosts.
Switch in networks, a device that filters and forwards packets between LAN
segments. Switches operate at the data link layer (layer 2) and sometimes the
network layer (layer 3) of the OSI Reference Model and therefore support any
packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched
LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs.
A small lever or button. The switches on the back of printers and on expansion
boards are called DIP switches. A switch that has just two positions is called
a toggle switch.
Another word for option or parameter -- a symbol that you add to a command to
modify the command's behaviour.
A hub is a common connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are

commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains
multiple ports. When a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other
ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
Hubs and switches serve as a central connection for all of your network equipment
and handles a data type known as frames. Frames carry your data. When a frame
is received, it is amplified and then transmitted on to the port of the destination
PC.
May 2016
Computer
Revision # 01
In a hub, a frame is passed along or "broadcast" to every one of its ports. It doesn't
matter that the frame is only destined for one port. The hub has no way of
distinguishing which port a frame should be sent to. Passing it along to every port
ensures that it will reach its intended destination. This places a lot of traffic on the
network and can lead to poor network response times.
Repeater is a network device used to regenerate or replicate a signal. Repeaters are

used in transmission systems to regenerate analog or digital signals distorted by
transmission loss. Analog repeaters frequently can only amplify the signal while
digital repeaters can reconstruct a signal to near its original quality.
In a data network, a repeater can relay messages between subnetworks that use
different protocols or cable types. Hubs can operate as repeaters by relaying
messages to all connected computers. A repeater cannot do the
intelligent routing performed by bridges and routers.
Bridge is a device that connects two local-area networks (LANs), or two

segments of the same LAN that use the same protocol, such as
Ethernet or Token-Ring.
IP Addressing
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to

each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses
the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal
functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. Its role
has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An address
indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there."
The designers of the Internet Protocol defined an IP address as a 32-
bit number and this system, known as Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), is still in
use today. However, because of the growth of the Internetand the
predicted depletion of available addresses, a new version of IP (IPv6), using 128 bits
for the address, was developed in 1995. IPv6 was standardized as RFC 2460 in
1998, and its deployment has been ongoing since the mid-2000s.
IP addresses are usually written and displayed in human-

readable notations, such as 172.16.254.1 (IPv4), and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1
(IPv6).
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) manages the IP address

space allocations globally and delegates five regional Internet registries (RIRs) to
allocate IP address blocks to local Internet registries(Internet service providers) and
other entities.

May 2016
Computer
Revision # 01
In the early stages of development of the Internet Protocol, network
administrators interpreted an IP address in two parts: network number portion and
host number portion. The highest order octet (most significant eight bits) in an
address was designated as the network number and the remaining bits were called
the rest field or host identifier and were used for host numbering within a network.
This early method soon proved inadequate as additional networks developed
that were independent of the existing networks already designated by a network
number. In 1981, the Internet addressing specification was revised with the
introduction of classful network architecture.
Classful network design allowed for a larger number of individual network
assignments and fine-grained subnetwork design. The first three bits of the most
significant octet of an IP address were defined as the class of the address. Three
classes (A, B, and C) were defined for universal unicast addressing. Depending on
the class derived, the network identification was based on octet boundary segments
of the entire address. Each class used successively additional octets in the network
identifier, thus reducing the possible number of hosts in the higher order classes
(B and C). The following table gives an overview of this now obsolete system.

Classful network design served its purpose in the startup stage of the
Internet, but it lacked scalability in the face of the rapid expansion of the network
in the 1990s. The class system of the address space was replaced with Classless
Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) in 1993. CIDR is based on variable-length subnet
masking (VLSM) to allow allocation and routing based on arbitrary-length prefixes.

A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM
(Volt-Ohm meter or Volt-Ohm-milliammeter ), is an electronic measuring
instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A
typical multimeter can measure voltage, current, and resistance. Analog
multimeters use a microammeter with a moving pointer to display readings.
Digital multimeters (DMM, DVOM) have a numeric display, and may also
show a graphical bar representing the measured value. Digital multimeters
are now far more common but analog multimeters are still preferable in
some cases, for example when monitoring a rapidly varying value.
A multimeter can be a hand-held device useful for

basic fault finding and field service work, or a bench
instrument which can measure to a very high degree of
accuracy. They can be used to troubleshoot electrical
problems in a wide array of industrial and household
devices such as electronic equipment, motor controls,
domestic appliances, power supplies, and wiring
systems.

the correctly sized opening of the connector, and a crimper is
used to tightly squeeze the opening against the wire.
Depending on the type of connector used, it may be attached
to a metal plate by a separate screw or bolt or it could be
simply screwed on using the connector itself to make the
attachment like an F connector.

following:
1. Define the concepts of OHS and;
2. Proper uses of protective PPE
The knowledge in Occupatiotional Health and Safety allows you to

follow the set standard for proper handling of riks and hazards. The
knowledge in this ,information will keep you inline to the set safety
standards set forth in the inbsdustry.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Occupational safety and health (OSH) also commonly referred to as
occupational health and safety (OHS) or workplace health and safety (WHS)
is an area concerned with the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in
work or employment. The goals of occupational safety and health programs
include to foster a safe and healthy work environment.[1] OSH may also
protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, and many
others who might be affected by the workplace environment. In the United
States the term occupational health and safety is referred to as occupational
health and occupational and non-occupational safety and includes safety for
activities outside work.
In common-law jurisdictions, employers have a common law duty to take

reasonable care for the safety of their employees.[3] Statute law may build
upon this to impose additional general duties, introduce specific duties and
create government bodies with powers to regulate workplace safety issues:
details of this will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
As defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) "occupational

health deals with all aspects of health and safety in the workplace and has a
strong focus on primary prevention of hazards."[4] Health has been defined
as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity."[5] Occupational health is a
multidisciplinary field of healthcare concerned with enabling an individual
to undertake their occupation, in the way that causes least harm to their
health. Health has been defined as It contrasts, for example, with the
promotion of health and safety at work, which is concerned with preventing
harm from any incidental hazards, arising in the workplace.
Since 1950, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the

World Health Organization (WHO) have shared a common definition of
occupational health. It was adopted by the Joint ILO/WHO Committee on
Occupational Health at its first session in 1950 and revised at its twelfth
session in 1995. The definition reads:

INFORMATION SHEET No. 2.2-1A
Networks congifuration (wireles/P2P), File sharing and Printer sharing
Learning Objectives
At the end of this information, you must be able to:
1. Understand wireless network and;
2. Perform simple printer and file sharing and;
3. Configure wireless networks.
Wireless networking is a method by which

homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations
avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a
connection between various equipment
locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented
and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes
place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure.
Wireless Networking
A wireless network is any type of computer network that uses
wireless data connections for connecting network nodes.
Examples of wireless networks include cell phone networks, Wi-Fi local

networks and terrestrial microwave networks.
Wireless PAN
Wireless personal area networks (WPANs) interconnect devices within a
relatively small area, which is generally within a person's reach. For
example, both Bluetooth radio and invisible infrared light provides a WPAN
for interconnecting a headset to a laptop. ZigBee also supports WPAN
applications. Wi-Fi PANs are becoming commonplace (2010) as equipment
designers start to integrate Wi-Fi into a variety of consumer electronic
devices. Intel "My WiFi" and Windows 7 "virtual Wi-Fi" capabilities have
made Wi-Fi PANs simpler and easier to set up and configure.
Wireless LAN
Wireless LANs are often used for connecting to local resources and to the
Internet.

May 2016
Computer
Revision # 01
A wireless local area network (WLAN) links two or more devices over a short
distance using a wireless distribution method, usually providing a
connection through an access point for internet access. The use of spread-
spectrum or OFDM technologies may allow users to move around within a
local coverage area, and still remain connected to the network.
Products using the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards are marketed under
the Wi-Fi brand name. Fixed wireless technology implements point-to-
point links between computers or networks at two distant locations, often
using dedicated microwave or modulated laser light beams over line of
sight paths. It is often used in cities to connect networks in two or more
buildings without installing a wired link.
Wireless mesh network
A wireless mesh network is a wireless network made up of radio nodes

organized in a mesh topology. Each node forwards messages on behalf of the
other nodes. Mesh networks can "self-heal", automatically re-routing around
a node that has lost power.
Wireless MAN
Wireless metropolitan area networks are a type of wireless network that

connects several wireless LANs.
 WiMAX is a type of Wireless MAN and is described by the IEEE
802.16 standard.
Wireless WAN
Wireless wide area networks are wireless networks that typically cover large
areas, such as between neighbouring towns and cities, or city and suburb.
These networks can be used to connect branch offices of business or as a
public internet access system. The wireless connections between access
points are usually point to point microwave links using parabolic dishes on
the 2.4 GHz band, rather than omnidirectional antennas used with smaller
networks. A typical system contains base station gateways, access points
and wireless bridging relays. Other configurations are mesh systems where
each access point acts as a relay also. When combined with renewable
energy systems such as photovoltaic solar panels or wind systems they can
be stand alone systems.

May 2016
Computer
Revision # 01
Global area network
A global area network (GAN) is a network used for supporting mobile across
an arbitrary number of wireless LANs, satellite coverage areas, etc. The key
challenge in mobile communications is handing off user communications
from one local coverage area to the next. In IEEE Project 802, this involves a
succession of terrestrial wireless LANs.
Space network
Space networks are networks used for communication between spacecraft,
usually in the vicinity of the Earth. The example of this is NASA's Space
Network.
Wireless Network Elements

The telecommunications network at the physical layer also consists of many
interconnected wireline Network Elements (NEs). These NEs can be stand-
alone systems or products that are either supplied by a single manufacturer
or are assembled by the service provider (user) or system integrator with
parts from several different manufacturers.
Wireless NEs are the products and devices used by a wireless carrier to
provide support for the backhaul network as well as a Mobile Switching
Center (MSC).
Reliable wireless service depends on the network elements at the physical

layer to be protected against all operational environments and applications
(see GR-3171, Generic Requirements for Network Elements Used in Wireless
Networks – Physical Layer Criteria).
What are especially important are the NEs that are located on the cell tower
to the Base Station (BS) cabinet. The attachment hardware and the
positioning of the antenna and associated closures/cables are required to
have adequate strength, robustness, corrosion resistance, and rain/solar
resistance for expected wind, storm, ice, and other weather conditions.
Requirements for individual components, such as hardware, cables,
connectors, and closures, shall take into consideration the structure to
which they are attached.

Computer
Revision # 01
Difficulties
 Interferences
Compared to wired systems, wireless networks are frequently subject
to electromagnetic interference. This can be caused by other networks or
other types of equipment that generate radio waves that are within, or close,
to the radio bands used for communication. Interference can degrade the
signal or cause the system to fail.
 Absorption and reflection

Some materials cause absorption of electromagnetic waves, preventing it
from reaching the receiver, in other cases, particularly with metallic or
conductive materials reflection occurs. This can cause dead zones where no
reception is available. Aluminium foiled thermal isolation in modern homes
can easily reduce indoor mobile signals by 10 dB frequently leading to
complaints about the bad reception of long-distance rural cell signals.
 Multipath fading
In multipath fading two or more different routes taken by the signal, due to
reflections, can cause the signal to cancel out at certain locations, and to be
stronger in other places (upfade).
 Hidden node problem

The hidden node problem occurs in some types of network when a node is
visible from a wireless access point (AP), but not from other nodes
communicating with that AP. This leads to difficulties in media access
control.
 Shared resource problem

The wireless spectrum is a limited resource and shared by all nodes in the
range of its transmitters. Bandwidth allocation becomes complex with
multiple participating users. Often users are not aware that advertised
numbers (e.g., for IEEE 802.11 equipment or LTE networks) are not their
capacity, but shared with all other users and thus the individual user rate is
far lower. With increasing demand, the capacity crunch is more and more
likely to happen. User-in-the-loop (UIL) may be an alternative solution to
ever upgrading to newer technologies for over-provisioning.
