What is Network?
A network is a collection of
computers and related equipment
(printers, webcams, game consoles, etc.)
connected so that data can move
between them. Even if you have a single
computer, it looks to the Internet as part
of a network. The Internet, then, is a
network of networks.

Three Basic Network Categories

• Local Area Network- the smallest of the three network types, consist of
PCs connected together within a limited area, such as within the same
building, floor or department.
• Metropolitan Area Network – are network that spans no more than 50
miles. It is design to connect LANs spanning a town or city
• Wide Area Network – used to distribute information thousands of miles
among thousands of users.

Network Interface Card (NIC) – also
called LAN card, a printed circuit board, an
adapter that plugs into the computer’s
motherboard when connected with a network
cable, provides the physical link between
your computer and the network.

Router – a device that forwards data packets

between Local or Wide Area Network groups.

Network Switch – It helps determine how

data moves over large networks.

Repeater – a device that strengthen signals and allow s

it to stay clear over longer distances.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.2

Network Cable

Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one
network device to another. There are several types of cable which are commonly
used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable,
other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for
a network is related to the network's topology, protocol, and size.

Examples of network media:

1. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable

1. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable
2. Coaxial Cable
3. Fiber Optic Cable
4. Wireless LANs

1. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable

The least expensive and most popular network

media. The standard connector for unshielded
twisted pair cabling is an RJ-45 connector. This is a
plastic connector that looks like a large telephone-style

2. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable

Although UTP cable is the least expensive

cable, it may be susceptible to radio and
electrical frequency interference (it should
not be too close to electric motors, fluorescent
lights, etc.). If you must place cable in
environments with lots of potential
interference, or if you must place cable in extremely
sensitive environments that may be susceptible to the electrical current in the
UTP, shielded twisted pair may be the solution. Shielded cables can also help to
extend the maximum distance of the cables.

Revision # 01
 3. Coaxial Cable

Coaxial cabling has a single copper

conductor at its center. A plastic layer provides
insulation between the center conductor and a
braided metal shield. The metal shield helps to block any outside interference
from fluorescent lights, motors, and other computers. This cable is commonly
used by television industries.

4. Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cabling consists of a center

glass core surrounded by several layers of
protective materials. It transmits light rather
than electronic signals eliminating the problem
of electrical
interference. This makes it ideal for certain
environments that contain a large amount of electrical interference.

5. Wireless LANs

More and more networks are operating without cables, in the wireless
mode. Wireless LANs use high frequency radio signals, infrared light beams, or
lasers to communicate between the workstations, servers, or hubs. Each
workstation and file server on a wireless network has some sort of
transceiver/antenna to send and receive the data.

Wireless networks are great for allowing laptop computers, portable

devices, or remote computers to connect to the LAN.

Testing Your Computer Network

You’ve set up all your network switches, plugged in all the cables, and configured
all your computers. One task remains before you can declare your network
finished: You must verify that the network works as expected.

Here are a few simple tests you can conduct to make sure your network is
functional.

• Check the physical connections.

Check that the Link light — the little red or green light next to the RJ-45
port — is lit on every computer. You must check this light both on the
computer itself and on the switch or router the computer is plugged into. If
this light is not on, you have a connection problem — most likely a bad
cable.

• Verify that you can log on.

When you’re sure the physical connections are good, you should attempt to
log on to each of your network computers using a valid domain user
account.

• Check the network configuration.

Click the Start button, type cmd and press Enter. Then, enter the
command <ipconfig /all> and press Enter.

 IPv4 Address ........................ [Link](Preferred)

• Verify that the computers can ping each other.

Another basic test you should perform is to use the ping command from a
command prompt to make sure that the computers on your network can
contact one another.

Ping another computer (LAN only)

Click the Start button, type cmd and press Enter. Then, enter the
command PING [Link] and press Enter.

Ping a website (WAN-Internet)

Click the Start button, type cmd and press Enter. Then, enter the
command PING [Link] and press Enter.

What is an IP Address?

An Internet Protocol address (IP address) in layman’s terms is basically the

address given to your computer when it’s connected to a network. Technically
speaking, an IP address is a 32-bit number that signifies the address of both the
sender and receiver of packets on a network.

Class Address Range Supports

Class A [Link] to [Link] Large networks with many devices

Class B [Link] to [Link] Medium-sized networks.

Small networks (fewer than 256
Class C [Link] to [Link]
devices)
Class D [Link] to [Link] Reserved for multicast groups.

Reserved for future use, or Research

Class E [Link] to [Link] and Development Purposes.

The two main types of IP Address

1. Static IP Address

 As the name speaks, the static IP addresses are those types of IP address
that never change once they are assigned to a device on a network. No doubt
this type of addressing is cost effective but could have a high security risk.
Static IP addresses are mostly used by web, email and gaming servers who
don’t care much about hiding their locations.

2. Dynamic IP Address
On the other hand, a Dynamic IP address changes each time the device
logs in to a network. This kind of IP address is very tough to trace and are
thus used by companies and business firms.

You must be thinking as to who or what allocates this Dynamic IP address

every time the device logs in. Well, these IP address are assigned using DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Talking about DHCP in detail is
beyond the scope of this article and we will take it up in a future post.
How to set a Static IP Address
Normally, your computer’s IP Address has a dynamic IP Address. To find
out your computer’s Dynamic IP simply click the Start button, type cmd and
press Enter. Then, enter the command IPCONFIG and press Enter.

To permanently set it as your Static IP

1. Right click on Wifi icon (Laptop) or LAN icon (PC) at the notification
bar and select Open Network and Sharing Center
