Networking

Wireless network infrastructure has become just another connection method for corporate and home users alike. This rapid acceptance can be attributed from:

LAN stands for Local Area Network. LAN is a type of network that interconnects computers and devices either wired or wireless and covers a greater distance. LAN is mainly used in private organisations such as college or university. More or less everyone uses wireless router at home these days and the user is able to connect between 5-10 devices wirelessly. The user can share the broadband or the connection with ADSL by using Ethernet cables. Smaller LANs can connect at least

1 Why is this technology appropriate for this scenario? The laptop is not tied to any cables and is using an access point located in the building.

The major advantage of Wi-Fi is the fact that users do not need to be physically connected to the network in order to access the Web and network resources. Wi-Fi provides increased mobility. Among employees, those who use a laptop will worry no more about connecting using a connection cable. They will be able to move from their office to the meeting room without losing connection. Besides eliminating much of the need for extensive wiring and dedicated workstation, Wi-Fi means the Internet is accessible anywhere users can pick up a signal, which allows for greater flexibility in office configurations. Wi-Fi systems can also be much less expensive to set up, since the main cost is in the wiring to the main router. If an existing wired Internet network is already in place, adding Wi-Fi capabilities is relatively simple, with no need to purchase a dedicated workstation. Wi-Fi systems are also relatively inexpensive to operate and easy to use. For employees and authorized visitors to connect to Wi-Fi does not present any technical difficulty. Depending on the router type simply enter the WEP or WAP key associated with your Wi-Fi after double-clicking the icon "Wireless Network Connection". After a

(Microsoft, 2009). The laptops will also have a wireless network interface card (NIC) installed. The wireless network cards will allow the computers to communicate with the other computers and server on the wireless star network by using a common communication language protocol called TCP IP. The TCP IP is not a solitary protocol when, in fact, it is several protocols. The client server network within wireless star topology will consist of one ZyXEL Prestige 660M D1 DSL modem (Dell, 2009). One Linksys Instant Broadband EtherFast Cable DSL Router (Linksys by Cisco, n.d.). Two netgear fs105 5 port Ethernet switches (Netgear, 1996-2009, and a Linksys wireless-G access (Linksys by Cisco, n.d.). RJ-45 cables will connect the Ethernet switches to the server and connect the Linksys wireless-G access point WAP54G (Linksys by Cisco, n.d.) To the Ethernet switches. The Linksys wireless-G access will connect the desktops, laptops, and printers to the network. The star topology accompanied with client server architecture and wireless local area network (WLAN) is well suited for Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting given that Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting will have

Connecting WIFI- wireless network access convenient because no hardwire required but signal strength has limitations.

Because this is going to incorporate a whole campus there will be a wireless receiver at the top of every building. However we will have them all in together so that way they work as one and a student will be able to access any of them from any location and allow them to transition from one to another with ease. We will also incorporate a repeater on the bottom floor to allow for full building coverage and to extend the network throughout the campus itself. The Only Exception will be for the library and in the library we will have a strict Network that will allow for the students to be able to access specific training material and the library's internal architecture. The equipment itself will be a very good Mount of switches and routers to allow for easy authentication and access. The equipment will be scattered throughout each building and we will ensure that there is proper coverage of the wireless network and proper capability of the staff meeting to be able to handle the amount of devices inside of the

A wireless network is any type of computer network that uses wireless data connections for connecting network nodes .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.

A LAN is a network of computers in a specific area interconnect using a variety of network media. For example, WBHS LAN are all the computers connected to the WBHS network via Ethernet, Wi-fi or other. This is different from a WAN (Wide area network) which extends to a much wider area such as a town, city and country. LAN are usually more restricted in access and more numerous.

They are able to connect multiple computers to wireless printers by using a single broadband network and the cost is cheaper. Having a single broadband network allows employees to have access to their computers anywhere in the office.

Physical media is what physically connects the computers connected on the internet. For this network two physical media will be used to allow access to the application layers of the system. The coaxial cables will be used to create a WAN. While a wireless protocol will be used in allowing users to roam within the network. A LAN will be represented as follows;

The cost for each wireless node is generally higher than a conventional LAN node. LAN devices Today, LANs use sophisticated programs that permit several users to work with the same resources at the same time. This can include hard disk drives, printers, plotters, software, etc. LANs are composed of various components performing specific tasks so each user can access shared resources.

LAN known as a local area network is a computer network that connected computer within a small area such as a school, collages, a hospitals and an office building using network media. In contrast to wide area network (WAN) this covers the huge area. In LAN, there is a main computer called server and distance computers called clients. With the help of LAN users can access internet, can exchange file with connected users, and also can communication between users via electronic mails and others applications.
