Network Setup TCP/IP (Internet Concept) IP address Subnet Mask Default Gateway DNS (Domain name server) Alternate DNS DHCP (Automatic) Microsoft Network Computer name Workgroup name Domain name
Set up Identitas Komputer IP address : Alamat IP yang menunjukkan identitas dari komputer agar dapat dikenal oleh jaringan Default Gateway : Alamat IP dari Router yang terkoneksi dimana permintaan akses internet akan diteruskan DNS Server (Domain Name System) Alamat IP dari server yang berfungsi melayani permintaan penterjemahan nama domain menjadi alamat IP 9
Static IP dan Dynamic IP Dua metode pemberian alamat IP Static IP Diset secara manual. Semua jenis komputer bisa Untuk perangkat mobile umumnya tidak bisa Dynamic IP Diset “obtain IP address automatically” Pemberian IP address dll dilakukan oleh yang disebut DHCP server yang umumnya juga ada dalam router Perangkat mobile (HP, Smartphone, X-pad, dll) umumnya menggunakan metode ini 10
Some Network Utilities ipconfig ping traceroute / tracert (Microsoft) netstat Note : protocol used is icmp
TCP/IP Protocol Architecture developed by US Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) for ARPANET packet switched network used by the global Internet protocol suite comprises a large collection of standardized protocols
Simplified Network Architecture
TCP/IP Layers no official model but a working one Application layer Host-to-host, or transport layer Internet layer Network access layer Physical layer
Physical Layer concerned with physical interface between computer and network concerned with issues like: characteristics of transmission medium signal levels data rates other related matters
Network Access Layer exchange of data between an end system and attached network concerned with issues like : destination address provision invoking specific services like priority access to & routing data across a network link between two attached systems allows layers above to ignore link specifics
Internet Layer (IP) routing functions across multiple networks for systems attached to different networks using IP protocol implemented in end systems and routers routers connect two networks and relays data between them
Transport Layer (TCP) common layer shared by all applications provides reliable delivery of data in same order as sent commonly uses TCP
Application Layer provide support for user applications need a separate module for each type of application
Operation of TCP and IP
Addressing Requirements two levels of addressing required each host on a subnet needs a unique global network address its IP address each application on a (multi-tasking) host needs a unique address within the host known as a port
Overview of Wireless LANs use wireless transmission medium issues of high prices, low data rates, occupational safety concerns, & licensing requirements now addressed key application areas: LAN extension cross-building interconnect nomadic access ad hoc networking
Single Cell LAN Extension
Multi Cell LAN Extension
Cross-Building Interconnect connect LANs in nearby buildings point-to-point wireless link Not a LAN per se connect bridges or routers
Nomadic Access link LAN hub & mobile data terminal laptop or notepad computer enable employee to transfer data from portable computer to server also useful in extended environment such as campus or cluster of buildings users move around with portable computers may wish access to servers on wired LAN
Infrastructure Wireless LAN
Ad Hoc Networking temporary peer-to-peer network
Wireless LAN Requirements throughput - efficient use wireless medium no of nodes - hundreds of nodes across multiple cells connection to backbone LAN - using control modules service area to 300 m low power consumption - for long battery life on mobiles transmission robustness and security collocated network operation license-free operation handoff/roaming dynamic configuration - addition, deletion, and relocation of end systems without disruption to users
Technology infrared (IR) LANs individual cell of IR LAN limited to single room IR light does not penetrate opaque walls spread spectrum LANs mostly operate in ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical) bands no Federal Communications Commission (FCC) licensing is required in USA narrowband microwave microwave frequencies but not use spread spectrum some require FCC licensing
Infrared LANs Transmission Techniques directed-beam IR point-to-point links range depends on power and focusing for indoor use can set up token ring LAN IR transceivers positioned so data circulates in ring omnidirectional single base station with line of sight to other stations acts as a multiport repeater other stations use directional beam to it diffused configuration stations focused / aimed at diffusely reflecting ceiling
