  4. LEARNING OUTCOMES • Compare LANs, WANs, and MANs • List and describe the four components that differentiate networks • Compare the two types of network architectures

  5. LEARNING OUTCOMES • Explain topology and the different types found in networks • Describe TCP/IP along with its primary purpose • Identify the different media types found in networks

  6. NETWORK BASICS • Telecommunication system -enable the transmission of data over public or private networks • Network -a communications, data exchange, and resource-sharing system created by linking two or more computers and establishing standards, or protocols, so that they can work together

  7. NETWORK BASICS • The three types of networks include: • Local area network (LAN) • Metropolitan area network (MAN) • Wide area network (WAN)

  8. NETWORK BASICS

  9. NETWORK BASICS • Networks are differentiated by the following: • Architecture - peer-to-peer, client/server • Topology - bus, star, ring, hybrid, wireless • Protocols - Ethernet, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) • Media - coaxial, twisted-pair, fiber-optic

  10. ARCHITECTURE • There are two primary types of architectures • Peer-to-peer (P2P) network • Client/server network

  11. Peer-to-Peer Networks • Peer-to-peer (P2P) network - any network without a central file server and in which all computers in the network have access to the public files located on all other workstations

  12. Client/Server Networks • Client- a computer that is designed to request information from a server • Server - a computer that is dedicated to providing information in response to external requests • Client/server network -model for applications in which the bulk of the back-end processing takes place on a server, while the front-end processing is handled by the clients

  13. Client/Server Networks • Network operating system (NOS) - the operating system that runs a network, steering information between computers and managing security and users • Packet-switching -occurs when the sending computer divides a message into a number of efficiently sized units called packets, each of which contains the address of the destination computer • Router - an intelligent connecting device that examines each packet of data it receives and then decides which way to send it onward toward its destination

  14. Client/Server Networks • Client/Server network

  15. Client/Server Networks • Worldwide router growth

  16. TOPOLOGY • Network topology - refers to the geometric arrangement of the actual physical organization of the computers and other network devices) in a network • Bus • Star • Ring • Hybrid • Wireless

  17. TOPOLOGY

  18. PROTOCOLS • Protocol - a standard that specifies the format of data as well as the rules to be followed during transmission • Interoperability - the capability of two or more computer systems to share data and resources, even though they are made by different manufacturers

  19. Ethernet • Ethernet - a physical and data layer technology for LAN networking

  20. Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol • Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - provides the technical foundation for the public Internet as well as for large numbers of private network

  21. Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol • TCP/IP applications • File transfer protocol (FTP) • Simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) • Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) • Simple network management Protocol (SNMP)

  22. Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol

  23. Voice over IP (VoIP) • Voice over IP (VoIP) -uses TCP/IP technology to transmit voice calls over long-distance telephone lines

  24. MEDIA • Network transmission media -refers to the various types of media used to carry the signal between computers • Wire media (guided) • Wireless media (unguided)

  25. Wire Media • Wire media - transmission material manufactured so that signals will be confined to a narrow path and will behave predictably • Three most commonly used types include: • Twisted-pair wiring • Coaxial cable • Fiber optic (or optical fiber)

  26. Wire Media

  27. Wireless Media • Wireless media - natural parts of the Earth’s environment that can be used as physical paths to carry electrical signals

  28. E-BUSINESS NETWORKS

  29. E-BUSINESS NETWORKS • Virtual private network (VPN) - a way to use the public telecommunication infrastructure (e.g., Internet) to provide secure access to an organization’s network • Valued-added network (VAN) -a private network, provided by a third party, for exchanging information through a high capacity connection

  30. OPENING CASE QUESTIONSThe Digital Hospital • Explain how hospitals are using telecommunication and network technologies to improve their operations • Describe the two different types of network architectures and identify which one Hackensack University Medical Center is using • Explain TCP/IP and the role it plays in Hackensack University Medical Center’s IT projects • Identify a new telecommunication or network product that Hackensack University Medical Center could use to improve its operations

  33. WIRELESS FIDELITY (WI-FI) • Wireless fidelity (wi-fi) – a means of linking computers using infrared or radio signals • Common examples of wireless devices include: • Cellular phones and pagers • Global positioning systems (GPS) • Cordless computer peripherals • Home-entertainment-system control boxes • Two-way radios • Satellite television

  34. WIRELESS FIDELITY (WI-FI) • Disruptive wireless technologies • WiMax wireless broadband • Radio frequency identification tags (RFID) • Micro hard drives • Apple’s G5 and AMD’s Athlon 64 processors

  35. The Value of Timely Information • Timeliness is an aspect of information that depends on the situation • Real-time information – immediate, up-to-date information • Real-time system – provides real-time information in response to query requests

  36. The Value of Timely Information • Real-time systems help organizations make faster and more effective decisions

  37. BUSINESS DRIVERS FOR WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES • Mobile and wireless are often used synonymously, but actually denote two different technologies • Mobile technology - means the technology can travel with the user, but it is not necessarily in real-time • Wireless technology - gives users a live (Internet) connection via satellite or radio transmitters

  38. BUSINESS DRIVERS FOR WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES • Drivers of wireless technology growth include: • Universal access to information and applications • The automation of business processes • User convenience, timeliness, and ability to conduct business 24x7
