This document discusses different types of computer networks: - Personal area networks (PANs) connect devices within a single room using technologies like Bluetooth. - Local area networks (LANs) connect devices within a building or campus using wired or wireless connections. - Wireless local area networks (WLANs) are wireless LANs that connect devices via WiFi. - Metropolitan area networks (MANs) connect multiple LANs across a city using wired or wireless connections. - Wide area networks (WANs) connect devices over larger distances, including the global Internet.

COC 2: SET UP COMPUTER NETWORKS

TYPES OF NETWORKS

1. PERSONAL AREA NETWORK (PAN)

 This is the smallest and most basic network that you’ll find. It’s meant to cover a very small area (typically a single

room or building). A PAN is most commonly used for one individual and to connect just a handful of devices such as a

computer, smart phone, and printer. Probably the most well-known PAN technology is Bluetooth connection. So, next

time you connect your phone to your car to play music, you can thank your Personal Area Network

2. LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)

 This is an extremely common and well-known type of network. Just as the name suggests, a LAN connects a group of

computers or devices together across a local area. This type of network can be utilized to connect devices throughout

one building or even 2-3 buildings depending on the proximity to each other. Whether your office location utilizes

wired or wireless connection, it’s almost surely using a LAN connection. This brings us to the next type of network…

3. WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN)

 A WLAN is simply a LAN that does not rely on cables to connect to the network. So, when you’re using WiFi, you’re

using a WLAN. WLANs are typically used in the same scenario as LANs, it just depends on whether you’d prefer an

on premises or remote cloud solution (wires or wireless).

4. METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN)


 Larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, a MAN incorporates elements of both types of networks. It connects
multiple LANs together and spans an entire geographical area such as a city or town (or sometimes a campus).
Ownership and management can be handled by a single person, but it’s more likely done by a larger company or
organization.

5. WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)


 Like LANs, you very well may recognize the term “WAN.” WANs do the same thing as LANs but across a larger area
while connecting more devices. Even when miles apart, a WAN can connect devices together remotely. In fact, the
most basic example of a WAN is the Internet which connects computers and devices worldwide. Since it’s much larger,
this type of network is typically maintained by multiple administrators and ownership is distributed across various
organizations.

6. STORAGE AREA NETWORK (SAN)


 A SAN is another type of LAN that’s designed to handle large data transfers and storage. This purpose of this network
is to move larger, more complex storage resources away from the network into a separate, high-performance
atmosphere. Doing this not only allows for easy retrieval and storage of the data but it also frees up space and improves
overall performance of the original network.

7. VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN)


 The point of a VPN is to increase security and privacy while accessing a network. The VPN acts as a middleman
between you and the network by encrypting your data and hiding your identity. This is a great option for sending and
receiving sensitive information, however, using a VPN is ideal anytime you connect to the Internet. Anytime you’re on
a public network, you run the risk of being targeted by a hacker, so using a VPN is you best bet at ensuring your
cybersecurity.
TOOLS , MATERIALS AND
EQUIPMENT FOR NETWORKING
1. LAN CARD
( LOCAL ARE NETWORK )
A Lan Card connects a computer to a
network, whether local foreign. It is
connected to the computer mother board via
serial port

2. CONNECTORS RJ 45
 RJ 45  This connector is used to connect the
 BNC twisted pair cables with the
networking devices

BNC
 it is commonly used in base 10
Ethernet network, it is used to end the
magnetic signal within the cable
which carries info

3. CRIMPING TOOL This tool is designed for the connections of


the UTP cables with the connectors by
cutting, stripping, deforming.

Crimping was developed as a high quality


cost replacement for soldering process

4. KRONE TOOL
A punch down tool used by the
telecommunication and network technicians.
It is used for inserting wires in insulation
displacement connector.

5. UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR The standard connector for unshielded


CONNECTOR twisted pair cabling is an RJ-45 connector.
This is a plastic connector that looks like a
large telephone style connector.

6.
7. PUNCH DOWN TOOL / IMPACT
TOOL Used to punch individual wires into slots in a
keystone RJ-45 jack that is used in an RJ-45
wall jack

8. CABLE TESTER

A cable tester is a device used to test the


strength and connectivity of a particular type
of cable or other wired assemblies.

9. COAXIAL CABLE
Coaxial cable is a type of copper cable
specially built with a metal shield and other
components engineered to block signal
interference. It is primarily used by cable TV
companies to connect their satellite antenna
facilities to customer homes and businesses.

10. ROUTER A router receives and sends data on computer


networks. Routers are sometimes confused
with network hubs, modems, or network
switches. However, routers can combine the
functions of these components, and connect
with these devices, to improve Internet
access or help create business networks.
SET A STATIC IP ADDRESS IN WINDOWS
STEP #1 :
 To change the computer’s IP address in Windows, you’ll need to open the “ Network Connections ”
window. Hit “ Windows+R “, type “ ncpa.cpl ” into the Run box, and then hit “ Enter “
STEP #2 :
 In the “ Network Connections ” window, right-click the adapter for which you want to set a static IP
address, and then select the “ Properties ” command.
STEP #3 :
 In the properties window for the adapter, select “ Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) ” and then
click the “ Properties ” button
STEP #4 :
 Select the “ Use the following IP address ” option, and then type in the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway that corresponds with your network setup. Next, type in your preferred and alternate DNS
server addresses. Finally, select the “ Validate settings upon exit ” option so that Windows immediately
checks your new IP address and corresponding information to ensure that it works. When you’re ready,
click the “ OK ” button.
STEP #5 :
 close out of the network adapter’s properties window.
Windows automatically runs network diagnostics to verify that the connection is good. If there are
problems, Windows will give you the option of running the Network troubleshooting wizard. However, if
you do run into trouble, the wizard likely won’t do you too much good. It’s better to check that your
settings are valid and try again.
