 COMPUTER
NETWORKING
Learning Objective
Identify necessary network
materials in accordance with
established procedures and
check against system
requirements.
Check tools, equipment, and
testing devices in
accordance with
established procedures.
Computer Networking
Many network administrators
keep hearing that the network
is down because of some or
the other reason. Various
researches indicate that in
many cases, the network is
down on account of inferior
cabling systems. Installing
standard structured cabling
systems can eliminate much
of this downtime.
NETWORK
It is two or more
computers connected
to share resources.
In general term,
network can refer to
any interconnected
group or system.
TYPES OF NETWORK
Networks can be categorized by several
methods, including the technology used
and the size of the network.
 When networks are
categorized by size or
physical area they
cover, these are the
categories used:
 1. PERSONAL AREA
NETWORK (PAN)
- consists of personal devices
communicating at close range such as a
cell phone and notebook computer.
 2. LOCAL AREA
NETWORK (LAN)
- covers a small local area such as a home,
office, other building, or small group of
buildings.
 3. WIRELESS LAN
(WLAN)
- coversa limited geographical area and is
popular in places where networking
cables are difficult to install, such as
outdoors, in public places, and in homes
that are not wired for networks. They are
also useful in hotel rooms.
 4. CAMPUS AREA
NETWORK (CAN)
- a computer network made up of an
interconnection of local area networks
(LANs) within a limited geographical area.
5. METROPOLITAN
AREA NETWORK (MAN)
- covers a large campus or city.
 6. WIDE AREA
NETWORK (WAN)
- covers a large geographical area and is
made up of many smaller networks.
 7. GLOBAL AREA
NETWORK (GAN)
- a GAN is a model for supporting mobile
communications across an arbitrary
number of wireless LANs, satellite
coverage areas, etc.
 8. VIRTUAL PRIVATE
NETWORK (VPN)
a computer network in which some of the
links between nodes are carried by open
connections or virtual circuits in some
larger network (e.g., the Internet) instead
of by physical wires.
NETWORK
TOPOLOGY
NETWORK TOPOLOGY
The physical arrangement
of the connections
between computers is
called the network
topology or the physical
topology..
Types of Network Topology
1. MESH NETWORK
In a mesh network, each node (a
computer or other device that
uses the network) on the network
is responsible for sending and
receiving transmissions to any
other node to which it wants to
communicate without a central
point of communication.
 2. Ring Network
In a ring network, nodes form a ring.
Really old IBM Token Ring networks
worked by passing a token around the
ring. This topology is seldom used today
because one down computer or a broken
cable can halt all communication on the
ring.
 3. Bus Network
Another old
topology is a bus
network whereby
all computers are
connected in a
sequential line.
 4. Star Network
A star network uses a centralized
device to manage traffic on the
network. This centralized device
can be a switch or hub that offers
multiple network ports or wireless
connections.

Answer Assessment
 COMMON
TOOLS FOR
NETWORKING
Loopback Plug
can be used to test a network
cable or port.
 Cable Tester
is used to test a cable to find out if
it is good or to find out what type of
cable it is if the cable is not labeled.
 Network Multimeter
is a multifunctional tool that can
test cables, ports, and network
adapters.
Wire Stripper
is used to build your own
network cable or repair a cable.
Crimper/Crimping Tool

is used to attach a terminator or

connector to the end of a cable. It
applies force to pinch the connector
to the wires in the cable to securely
make a solid connection.
 Punchdown Tool
also called an impact tool, is used to
punch individual wires in a network
cable into their slots in a keystone RJ-
45 jack that is used in an RJ-45 wall
jack.
