Final Report AS 91377 Demonstrate understanding of local area network technologies Adam Major Networking Concepts • describe what the user will mainly use a specific LAN for A LAN network (Local Area Network) is an establishment created when clients or devices such as computers and phones etc. with the right networking specifications allowing them to be connected with each other using a common connecion such as Ethernet or wireless. This establishment allows the sharing of resources from the device

Network Analysis Project I interviewed my father for this project, he is a senior technologist for the Transportation Security Administration. 1. Identify the types of connectivity devices being used the local are network at your school or workplace, and describe why they are being used. Are any of the devices networked managed? How do your network administrators use the information collected from the managed devices? Network switches are deployed throughout the enterprise. They are used to distribute

Global Finance Inc. uses a backbone network for its network connection. A backbone can tie multiple local area networks together for the passage of data between the individual networks and from the networks on the internet or other external network resources. The main reason for using a backbone network is to improve overall performance of a larger system by creating separate LAN’s for groups of users who communicate primarily with each other. The backbone network also makes it possible to extend

order to convince the management of the given case study company. There are many types of networks here are a few examples of them; WAN, LAN, MAN & PAN. WAN (Wide Area Network) is a network which maybe computer or telecommunications network that extends in a large geographical distance, it interconnects a multiple of (LANs) Local Area Networks. The Advantages of a WAN are; WANs allow a great and more intricate network also can cover a near infinite geographical distance. WANs mainly occur in large

Type of Network Features Personal area Networks (PAN) • A computer network set up around an individual person in one building. i.e. in a house or a small office • When used by two or more people it is sometimes called a home area network(HAN) • Can use computers, telephones video game consoles, and other devices • It is managed from a single computer but it is accessible using any device • Uses a modem which can provide both wired and wireless connections for a number of devices • Provides great

Hospital’s current network. During last topic, I will identify the Hospital’s wireless technology in currently in use and how it may enhance the hospitals network. Patton-Fuller Community Hospital currently uses a Local Area Network (LAN) standard

Abstract When discussing Network security, it is not much different then home, business, work, and personal security. Sometimes they are used together in ways to protect the safety of lives and important information on documents or files that are personal or proprietary. In the past before the age of computers and most importantly a network and internet, most people used security alarms, security guards, safes and locks to protect. With this day and age, the technology being used has been transformed

move incoming data packets to another network. For example a router can be found in almost all households used to connect to the internet. Connecting backbone – A back bone is a line or a set of lines that local area networks can connect to for a wide area network connection or with a local area network to span distances efficiently. A large company which is established in many different locations may use a backbone connection to tie all the locations together. 2) Connection method Description Advantages

The smallest network is a PAN (Personal Area Network) - currently the most common is wireless networks used in offices or homes, which typically includes a computer, printer and mobile devices. This is a small personal network, used to transmit data at the lowest level, which can operate independently of the Internet connection. The individual devices are connected to it, in most cases using a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi module. LAN (Local Area Network) is a local area network, which can be extended to multiple
