LAN Considerations
Protocol:– CSM/CD, Token Ring
Medium:– Coaxial cable and fiber optic cables are more noise-resistant mediums.– Error rates
Speed:– Common LAN speeds for PC’s are 1, 2.5, 4, 10, 16, 20 and 100 Mbps. – Trend is for higher speeds so can transmission greater volumes of data.
Distance:– Distance in LAN is measured in wiring length.– Most microcomputer LANs range from few 100’s m to several 1000’s m
Applications:– Application Program Interfaces (APIs) are used to interface with
networks.– Some software is not LAN compatible.
![Page 10: Unit 6, Chapter 12 LAN Installation & Operation. Objectives Describe the installation and operation of a LAN. Describe the necessary management criteria](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e175503460f94b0328b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
LAN Considerations
LAN Software and Hardware:– Selecting software & hardware that is compatible with existing equipment.– Speed of the equipment
Expandability:– Adding workstations or more workstations from one location to another.– Ease of expandability depends on medium installed.– Adding nodes is more difficult for fiber optic cables than for twisted-pair wires or coaxial
cables.Remote AccessVendor and Support:– You can be more successful with a good vendor, and a less capable LAN than
with a poor vendor and a superior LAN.– Vendor speed of resolving problems, obtaining needed equipment, etc. are factors
of consideration in LAN operations.Manageability:– Do not underestimate the time and effort required to operate & manage a LAN.– LAN Management Tasks are listed in Table 9-4 on page 260.
Security:– LAN software must have ability to control access to data, unlike stand-alone microcomputer
systems which are usually single-server systems.
