Unit 3 Assignment 1 WLAN Analysis

The devices that need to connect are workstations, wireless access points, security cameras, servers, phones and printers, with enough available bandwidth between buildings and devices. The wireless network itself will be able to handle multiple devices and there needs to be enough coverage throughout the campus, including the outdoors. Separate wireless network will need to be establish to ensure that guest traffic does not affect church network traffic.

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

Obtain a wireless residential gateway from your instructor, or you can utilize your own. If the contrivance has external antennas, ascertain they are situated vertically; and if they utilize a screw-in connector, ascertain the antennas are finger-tight and do not fall to the horizontal position again. Never turn on a wireless contrivance equipped with external antennas without first having them connected and tightened up. The absence of a felicitous load at the output of the transmitter can damage the circuit. In integration, despite the very low power levels of most WLAN contrivances, you are exhorted to never touch the antennas when the contrivance is turned on as this may represent a health peril. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet crossover patch cable to one of the switch ports in the back of the contrivance. Note that one port is disunited from the others and is customarily marked “WAN.” Do not connect anything to the WAN port. Plug the other terminus of the cable into an Ethernet port on your computer. Plug in the puissance adapter and connect it to the back of your AP

9. What should the schedule be for each SSID? (Hidden after school hours and visible during school hours.)

Each site slated for secure indoor wireless had a site survey done. The site survey method was top-down with the roof as the starting point. As with most site surveys the locations for equipment was identified and the cabling pathways were determined. In addition, a wireless survey was performed to identify possible sources of interference and find best install sites for AP’s. This was performed using wireless analysis tools to get the best installation places.

There are various types of equipment that the company should look for when considering this network. The first item to look at when considering equipment is the Operating system and software that we would need. Next, the group took into consideration the type of server the company needs to make this network a reality. Another thing that we looked at is the possibility of having ThinClients over regular desktops for all workstations. Of course, it was taken into consideration that some employees would not want ThinClients. So, we show the type of tower we plan to place into those spaces, along with any peripheral device for both. Then, we will look at the network devices that will go into each building that include switches, routers, repeaters, hubs, and wireless access points. Finally, the group will note guidelines for choosing a local ISP at each site. Each Item outlined helps to build a network based on the specifications given by the company.

The city of Josuha, Texas has instructed their IT staff to research and choose a way to give network connectivity. The main issue is that the locations that need to be connected are across roads and staff to research a wireless technology to connect four other locations. The issue is that there is not sufficient time to obtain the right of way permission from the two entities who own the road and highway separating the buildings.

4. Use the Internet to research one to two applications of the identified wireless technology. List each application found. Reference the websites you used to locate this information.

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

This report fulfills the specific requirement for documentation as specified in FIT 5083 Assignment 1. In this technical report, we will identify the various steps and techniques used in deployment of wireless network. Initially, what is networking or network infrastructure? Networking mean to connect two or more devices and configure them in such a way that they can communicate with each other. In networking, network infrastructure means to connect the software and hardware part rather than actual connection between two devices. Now days, wireless network connections are highly on demand because it’s easy to access and it does not require any cabling structure.

Wireless networking hardware requires the use of underlying technology that deals with radio frequencies as well as data transmission. The most widely used standard is 802.11 produced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This is a standard defining all aspects of Radio Frequency Wireless networking

Even after weeks—if not months—designing and installing a wireless LAN, it is inevitable that something will go wrong and must be fixed.

The proposed network is designed for the UMUC new building in Rockville. This new building will have some administrative offices, lecture rooms, library, and computer labs with an open Wi-Fi. This new building will have total six computer labs that will be used for instruction. Each of these labs will have 25 computers, 23 student computers and one instructor computer, one server in the closet and in addition to the six computer labs, there will also be a Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students for doing their own purpose like homework. In Student Computer Lab there will be 30 computers and a server in the closet. There will be 10 computers for student’s use and 5 computers for Library staff in the library so they can access to the library resources for staff use, with the exception of the admissions office, which will have five computers. There will be six class room which will have a computer for instructor’s use. Finally, there will be 7 offices in the building and each of these offices will have one computer. There will be two server rooms, one on the first floor and another one on the second floor. There should be at least 3 separate networks: Administrative, Instructional, and Public. All staff-accessed computers will be on the

CE1.18 I used a spectrum analyser with a band of 2.4 GHz which was connected to the PC for the survey to detect the RF activity in the limited location and was used to calculate the signal as well as the noise intensity in the region. I noticed variations in the power as I moved along from the reference point; I noted and referred this variation was due to the channel interference of the neighbouring BTS towers. I used the PC to generate the graphical and numerical data based on the spectrum analyser.

CE1.19 I used a spectrum analyzer with a band of 2.4 GHz which was connected to the PC for the survey to detect the RF activity in the limited location and was used to calculate the signal as well as the noise intensity in the region. I measured the attenuation factor and signal attenuation with respect to distance. For the accuracy of these factors, I used unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and I noted the variations in the power as I moved along from the reference point; I noted and referred this variation was due to the channel interference
