NETWORKING PROJECT

EXPERIMENT : PROJECT NETWORKING

TITLE : DESIGNING, WIRING AND CONFIGURE LOCAL AREA NETWORKING AT DATA COMMUNICATION LABORATORY (M-4-TCL)

OBJECTIVE : At the end of this experiment, student be able to :*Designing LAN networking at Data Communication Laboratory*Wiring the straight cable and cross cable*Configuring local area networking at Data Communication Laboratory

THEORY : A Local Area Network (LAN) is a computer network that connects computers and devices in a limited geographical area such as home, school, computer laboratory or office building. In another word networking is a link two or more computing devices together for the purpose of sharing data. Networks are built with a mix of computer hardware and computer software.

Project Task :1)You are required to prepare 30 list of network equipment that are using in this Project Networking and each function include :

*Name of Network Equipment*Picture of Network Equipment*Function of Network Equipment

2)You are required to draw a plan layout at Data Communication Laboratory by using Microsoft Visio and Packet Tracer. See the attachment.

3)You are required to take video and photo at work area.*Use your own multimedia skill to develop a CD

interactive about the project.*Give the explanation every video and picture.

4)You are required to do checklist.

FIRST WEEK Before starting the wiring, we need to open a conduit to introduce a

ceiling on the top of the ceiling.

Figure 1: shows how we enter into the conduit in the ceiling.

We need to connect conduit to the switch box. For this connection, we

need 3 stem conduits to reach the switch box.

If conduit is installed not long enough, we need to continue the conduit. To cut the conduit we need to use saws provided. Conduit shall not be cut with a knife because it will be damaged conduit. We used the saw to cut the conduit.

The figure is the type of connector that we use to connect conduit not long enough.

For the second week we need to insert the wire into the conduit. Right wire is measured by the distance of the location. Amount of wire used is 4. At the end of the wire should be attached with adhesive tape to facilitate wire insertion into conduit.

Excess wire will be collected at the switchbox.

SECOND WEEK

Ceiling then punched a size conduit will be issued. Table should also be drilled to insert a conduit into the space lab table. Previously drilled, it must be measured in advance according to the distance conduit as required. The above diagram shows how to measure be it is punched.

Next is the process of bending conduit for inclusion in the table. Size of the conduit is bent so that the conduit 45̊B must be angled to be in the upright position.

After the socket is on the table and screw holes will be cut along with the socket.

All wires will be removed from the drilled hole.

The next process we need to do is install a RJ45̊ on the wire. Before we install the R45̊, the end of the wire should be cut. Wire size must be cut according to the size of the RJ45̊. Next wires will be arranged according to color as specified.

Rubber pads will be installed on the wire before the wire RJ45̊installed.

THIRD WEEK

Guide wire inserted into the socket connector.

Next, RJ45̊ to be included in the switch box in accordance with the prescribed place.

Between the components used in the wiring run.

1) First, you must close your wireless signal.

2) Click ‘Start’ button at menu and search ‘run’. Then, click it.  3) Type ‘cmd’ and click ‘OK’ button. After a few minutes, the black screen will

appear.  4) Type ‘Ip config’ and press button ‘ENTER’.  5̊) You will get the Ip address for your computer. It is 10.40.6.216  6) Then, type ‘ping 10.40.6.1 (server for JKE).  7) Press F3 to copy.  8) Type ‘ping 10.40.2.1 (server for ict unit).  9) Lastly, type ‘ ping www.google.com.my

FOURTH WEEK

DISCUSSIONS :

 What is networking? In the world of computers, networking

is the practice of linking two or more computing devices together for the purpose of sharing data. Networks are built with a mix of computer hardware and computer software.

Networks can be categorized in several different ways. One approach defines the type of network according to the geographic area it spans. Local area networks (LANs), for example, typically reach across a single home, whereas wide area networks (WANs), reach across cities, states, or even across the world. The Internet is the world's largest public WAN.

Computer networks also differ in their design. The two types of high-level network design are called client-server and peer-to-peer. Client-server networks feature centralized server computers that store email, Web pages, files and or applications. On a peer-to-peer network, conversely, all computers tend to support the same functions. Client-server networks are much more common in business and peer-to-peer networks much more common in homes.

A network topology represents its layout or structure from the point of view of data flow. In so-called bus networks, for example, all of the computers share and communicate across one common conduit, whereas in a star network, all data flows through one centralized device. Common types of network topologies include bus, star, ring and mesh.

CONCLUSION :

At the end of this project, we are as students had gain a lot of knowledge about the networking. This projects give us the opportunity to make our own designing LAN networking at the Data Communication Laboratory (M-4-TCL). We started this project with making the straight cable and cross cable and wiring the whole lab. Lastly, we configure local area networking. We also can comparing / contrasting the performance of software applications like Web servers. Finally, the whole experiment had done very well.
