  1. Network Fundamentals Morrison / Wells

  2. Objectives • Describe a network. • Identify the benefits of a network. • Identify client/server networks. • Understand network communications. 2 2

  3. cable modem client client/server network communications channels server intranet extranet Internet modem local area network (LAN) server operating system Vocabulary 3 3

  4. Introducing Networks • A network is simply a group of two or more computers linked together. • Digital, mobile, and standard telephones are supported through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). 4 4

  5. Identifying the Benefits of a Network • A network like the Internet provides instant communication. Other benefits include: • Information sharing • Collaborative environment • Hardware sharing • Software sharing • Enhanced communication 5 5

  6. Identifying Client/Server Networks • The term client/server network describes a network design model. • In most instances, the client is a software program such as Internet Explorer. • The serveris hardware (a computer) and can be one of many types, such as a mail server, a database server, an FTP server, an application server, or a Web server. • Server operating systems are high-end programs designed to provide network control and include special functions for connecting computers and other devices into a network. 6 6

  7. Identifying Network Types • Local Area Networks: • Most LANs connect personal computers, workstations, and other devices such as printers and scanners in a limited geographical area, such as an office building, school, or home. 7 7

  8. Identifying Network Types (continued) • Wide Area Networks (WAN): • A WAN covers a large geographical area and can contain communication links across metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries. • Other Types of Networks • Client/server network • Peer-to-peer network • Intranet • Extranet • Internet 8 8

  9. Understanding Network Communications • Communication Hardware: • Modem • Cable modem • Digital subscriber line • T-1 line • Wireless 9 9

  10. Summary In this lesson, you learned: • A network is a group of two or more computers linked together. • A telephone network is similar in makeup to a computer network. 10 10

  11. Summary (continued) • You can use a network for information sharing, hardware sharing, software sharing, and as a collaborative environment. • Networks are categorized according to size as local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). • LANs connect personal computers, workstations, and other devices such as printers and scanners in a limited geographical area, such as an office building, a school, or a home. 11 11

  12. Summary (continued) • A WAN is made up of several connected local area networks. • In a client/server network, one or more computers on the network acts as a server. The server manages network resources.. 12 12

  13. Summary (continued) • Transmission media can be either physical or wireless. • A modem is a type of communications device. A hub is a device that controls the incoming and forwarding of data. A router directs traffic on the Internet or on multiple connected networks. 13 13
