This is a network proposal to connect six computers and two printers. The purpose of the project is to ensure the six employees can be able to; share files electronically print to both laser printers access each other's calendars and share an Internet connection. Requirements
Network Interface Card
A network interface card is already present in the computers. The purpose of the network card is to enable the computers to connect together using a protocol in order to transfer packets of data. In order to connect the computers, a form of connection is required that links the computers. In this case the form of connection used will be ethernet (Science - Opposing Views, 2014).
Switch (8 port)

Microsoft Office Professional 2013 contains the drivers and software needed to connect the printers to the computers. Outlook Express software will be required for the purpose of sharing a calendar.
Accessing files
Once one of the computers is properly configured as a file server, users can access the storage by mapping the drives on the respective computers. The file server will be mapped as a drive and users can store, edit and access files directly from the shared storage disk. The disk will be connected to each computer. For example, when a user needs to access any file from the file server, he/she can access the drive that will now be mapped on the every computer (Science - Opposing Views, 2014).
Printing
Once the printers have been configured to the print server. The six computers will be connected to the server through LAN. When a user prints a document, the computer will first connect to the server, after which the server sends the print job to the allocated printer. Each computer will be allocated a printer. One of the printers will be primary, and the second one the secondary.
The board hardware inputs for A, B, and C are switches SW[2], SW[1], and SW[0], respectively. Add these input pins to your schematic. You will also need the complements of these signals as well and will need to add three not gates. Label the pins and wires as shown below, using Properties to change the names. If you forget how to do this step, refer to the wiring tutorial instructions, included as part 0 of this lab.
The proposed network is designed to serve DesignIT which consist 56’x36’ office space, 4 cubicles, 1 office, 1 server room, 1 receptionist desk and 1 conference room.
This allows you to share centrally stored files to all of your connected computers easily. It also makes sharing a printer much easier than transfering everything to one computer as a gateway.
In the Network Design Paper I will explain how the University has recently leased a building in Adelphi, Maryland. The measurements of the University is 240 feet long, 95 feet wide and 30 feet tall and broken down to two different floors. This University will be used for education purposes of course, the facility will be made of six instructional labs, seven offices, library, five classrooms, a student lobby and a computer lab. There will be a server room on each floor. The purpose of this paper is to explain the design of the networks in this building. The student accessed computers will be set up on a separate network than the network that they staff will be using.
Samba specifically supports Linux access to print services for Windows alongside CUPS and file services as well as authentication through a daemon called Winbind. Winbind, provides communication for Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) and Name Server Switch (NSS) on the Linux side with Active Directory on a Domain Controller. It uses Kerberos and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to authenticate and retrieve user and group information. (Kirkpatrick, 2008) Printing capabilities from the Linux systems will be essential and will most likely be very similar to the requirements with the user tasks in the current XP configuration. Since the print services are managed by Windows resources, meeting the printing needs of the Linux users will be accomplished through SMB using Samba. The printers currently active on the network have been verified to work with Linux systems, so once properly configured, Linux users will have no problem with their printing needs. The protocol for Samba is already integrated into the Windows Server environment so configuring the settings on both the Linux and Windows sides is not a complicated process, although it is an additional requirement that would not be required for a Windows client workstation. (Shinder, 2012) The information required to configure Linux systems to print in the existing environment consist of the print server, printer share and appropriate Windows login password. A script using smbclient shell will support the setup for printer configuration. File sharing in a structured environment is a useful feature that is common in a Windows environment and provides ease of access based on permissions established for designated file shares. Fortunately, this capability is not restricted with the integration of Linux. Samba is a versatile package that can serve as the solution for many areas to include file
The start of America’s Second Revolution or Second Founding began when the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified, completing the Emancipation Proclamation, it abolished all slavery throughout the United States. Although, it did not resolve the legal status of former slaves under federal and state law. After the Civil War, “Black Codes” were created by many of the southern states designed to severely restrict the lives of newly freed slaves and keep them in virtual slavery. It soon began clear that the Thirteenth Amendment was not enough to protect the rights of former slaves. As a result, Congress drafted the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment nullified the Supreme Court’s decision in Dred Scott, granted former slaves citizenship, and promised “equal protection of the law” by prohibiting states from making or enforcing any law that abridges the privileges or immunities of citizens or denies due process. The Fifteenth Amendment gave black
Printers, Scanners & Photocopies – These are normally combined within the same machine if it’s multi-functional.
Main Building – will require 7 computer stations with the most recent version of Operating System to ensure compatibility and networking capabilities between each stations and the ability to communicate between the two locations. They will require three servers, one for web hosting, one for database management and one for emergency failure of any one server. These stations should be networked to communicate with one another for proper data connection especially in the event of any one computer station crashing. Each work station will need to be linked to each server for web hosting and data backup. The cabling used for inside the main building should be 100Base TX cat 5 UTP, for Wi-Fi and WLAN with guest access that is highly secure and reliable, we recommend a device that is capable of supporting up to 15 different users with 450 Mbps. There needs to be 4 printer services in this building. Printer 1 should have
Ethernet switches, routers and bridges will be needed to assist the data as it moves from computer to computer whether within the store or for communication between all six stores.
Introduction Sarah Donohoe, manufacturing engineering manager of the network laser printer division at Hewlett-Packard Company (HP), listened intently to her colleagues at the project review meeting for the development of their latest new product. With Sarah at the meeting were Jane Schushinski, marketing manager, Leo Linbeck, head of product design, and David Hooper, the controller of the division. The main topic for this meeting was the decision of whether or not to use a universal power supply for the next generation of network laser printer, code-named
Simplete will provide 11 employees with Dell Desktops and 3 employees with iMacs for work. We will also be providing 4 employees with 12.9 inch iPad Pros and 3 employees with 9.7 inch iPad Pros for work. Simplete will purchase 2 Xerox WorkCentre 3215 multifunction printers. They will be able to wirelessly print, copy, scan, fax, and email all from the printers.
It is generally limited to a geographic area such as a writing lab, school, or building. Rarely are LAN computers more than a mile apart. In a typical LAN configuration, one computer is designated as the file server. It stores all of the software that controls the network, as well as the software that can be shared by the computers attached to the network. Computers connected to the file server are called workstations. The workstations can be less powerful than the file server, and they may have additional software on their hard drives. On many LANs, cables are used to connect the network interface cards in each computer; other LANs may be wireless.
The networking of the system is recommended after a system study and the fact that there has been a 100% expansion of the demand for the system- from 5 to 50 have been noted. It is also shown that as of now there are machines that are stand alone with windows 7 operating system. The task is to provide a network connectivity that would provide direct connections between the employees, and be centralized in the operation. This essentially requires the creation of a network. This means that all the computers must be installed with a network card and this would be the case with windows 7. The question then comes is if there must be windows networking or use other protocols. We can also partly use the most modern practical solutions.
Without a network, each employee might require a dedicated printer connected to his workstation or individual copies of application software
Computer network also allows the user to share resources such as printers and faxes. It can be installed on one computer and can be accessed by other users in a network. By this the need of installing printers on individual computers is avoided and it result in cost-effectiveness. Computer network also allows the user to communicate with each other using
