 This lesson is designed to give you the understanding of a computer
network. At the end of this lesson you should be able to plan and determine
cable routes in accordance with network design and actual installation site.

A network consists of two or more entities or objects sharing

resources and information. A computer network consists of two or more
computing devices connected to each other to share resources and information.
The network becomes a powerful tool when computers communicate and share
resources with other computers on the same network or entirely distinct
networks.

Computers on a network can act as a client or a server. A client is a

computer that requests for resources. A server is a computer that controls and
provides access to resources.

Need for Networks

Enhance Communication
• Computer networks use electronic mail (e-mail) as the choice for
most of the communication.
• By using networks, information can be sent to a larger audience in an
extremely fast and efficient manner.

Share Resources
• A copy of data or application stored at a single central location is
shared over a network.
• Computer peripheral devices, referred to as additional components, can
be attached to a computer and be shared in a network.
• Peripheral devices include faxes, modems, scanners, plotters, and any
other device that connects to the computers.
• Equipment having common requirements can be shared in order
to reduce maintenance cost.
• Important data can also be stored centrally to make it
accessible to users, thereby saving storage space on
individual computers.
• Computer applications, which take up a considerable amount of
storage space, can be installed centrally on the network,
saving storage space.
Facilitate Centralized Management
• Networks are used to assist in management tasks associated with
their own operation and maintenance.
• Using networks results in increased efficiency and a resultant
reduction in maintenance costs.

3
Bandwidth
• Data rate measured in bits (not bytes) per seconds
 • Bit is the smallest unit of storage
• Kbps (Kilobits per seconds)
• 125 chars/sec
• Mbps (Megabits per seconds)
• 1,250 chars/sec
• Gbps (Gigabits per seconds)
• 12,500 chars/sec

Connecting to the Internet

• Requirement
– A computer or PDA or cell phone
– An account with an ISP (Internet Service Provider)
– A modem (modulator/demodulator) for dial-up services or a NIC
(Network Interface Card) for DSL/Cable services

Connection Types
• LAN
• WLAN
• Dial-up Services
• Broadband Services
• WAN

Classification of Networks by Geography

Networks are frequently classified according to the geographical

boundaries spanned bythe network itself. LAN, WAN, and MAN are the basic
types of classification, of which LAN and WAN are frequently used.

Local area network (LAN):

– A LAN covers a relatively small
area such as a classroom,
school, or a single building.
– LANs are inexpensive to install
and also provide higher
speeds.
LAN
Metropolitan area network (MAN):
– A MAN spans the distance of a
typical metropolitan city.
– The cost of installation and
operation is higher.
– MANs use high-speed
connections such as fiber optics
to achieve higher speeds.
MAN
Wide area –network
WANs(WAN):
span a larger
area than a single
city.
– These use long
distance
telecommunication
networks for
connection, thereby
increasing the cost.
WAN
– The Internet is a
WLAN (Wirelessgood example of a
LAN)
WAN.
• Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity)
– A wireless technology that connects computers without cables
• Access Point (AP)
– A device (base station) that connects wireless devices together
– Usually connected to a wired-network
• ESSID (Extended Service Set ID)
– A “name” for the AP, eg. mobilenet
• Hotspot
– The area covered by wireless access points

Classification of Networks by Component Roles

Networks can also be classified according to the roles that the networked
computers play in the network’s operation. Peer-to-peer, server-based, and
client-based are the types of roles into which networks are classified.

5
Peer-to-peer Network

In a peer-to-peer network, devices are connected directly to each other

without any additional networking devices between them, as shown below.
In this type of network, each device has equivalent capabilities
and responsibilities.
Individual users are responsible for their own resources and can
decide which data and devices to share. Because of that, the network has
no central point of control or administration.

It allows certain files and folders to be shared with everyone or with

selected users. Peer-to-peer networks are quite common in small offices that do
not use a dedicated file server. Files and folders can be configured to allow
network users to copy them, but not alter them in their original location, which
is a common safety precaution. However, files and folders can also be assigned
a "read/write" status that allows either selected users or all users on the
network to change them.

Client-Server Network

In a client/server network, the server provides the requested information

or service to the client. Servers on a client/server network commonly perform
some of the processing work for client machines, such as sorting through a
database before delivering only the records requested by the client.

6
 One example of a client/server network is a corporate environment in
which employeesuse a company e-mail server to send, receive, and store e-
mail. The e-mail client on an employee computer issues a request to the e-
mail server for any unread e- mail. The serverresponds by sending the
requested e-mail to the client.
In a client/server model, the servers are maintained by network
administrators. Data backups and security measures are implemented by the
network administrator. The network administrator also controls user access to
the network resources. All the data on the network is stored on a centralized file
server. Shared printers on the network are managed by a centralized print
server. Network users with the proper permissions can access both the data and
shared printers. Each user must provide an authorized username and password
to gain access to network resources that he or she is permitted to use. For data
protection, an administrator performs a routine backup of all the files on the
servers. If a computer crashes, or data is lost, the administrator can easily
recover the data from a recent backup
