Telephone network, TV network l Familiar and well-known network Computer network l Network connects computers and relative devices l One configuration is LAN which is selected according to a system scale and connection. l Internet is one of the networks connecting over the world.

5. 5 What is LAN ? LAN: Local Area Network l It is a computer network in an enclosed zone, for example, a floor in a office, an office, a building, a complex LAN

6. 6 Connection via LAN Star Wiring l The most popular LAN is based on Ethernet using star connection. There are also other kinds of LANs based on other standards. l In this training, we just only explain about the star connection based on Ethernet. LAN

12. 12 Network Cable Cable and Connector Type l CAT5 UTP cable with RJ-45 connector are used generally on 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX (Ethernet transmission speeds). u A cross cable is used between equipment or between repeater hubs u a straight cable is used between equipment and switching hub. RJ-45 connectors Network Technology: Equipment

13. 13 Cat5 Cable l CAT5 UTP is an inexpensive unshielded twisted pair data grade cable. l It is similar to telephone cable but the pairs are more tightly twisted. l Other CAT5 cables are the shielded STP or FTP types but u more expensive u allow only short distances between network devices l Maximum UTP CAT5 cable length between devices: 100m (at 100MBps = 100Base-TX) Network Technology: Equipment

14. 14 HUB Different Hubs Hubs connect network devices to each other. So network devices communicate via Hubs. l HUB = Repeater HUB l SWITCH = Switching HUB Network Technology: Equipment

24. 24 Router l A Router connects or divides LANs, it selects the route to transmit data from a subnet into an other subnet. (The routes must be set manually by a network specialist) Subnet B Subnet D Subnet C Subnet A Router Network Technology: Equipment

25. 25 WAN Router l A WAN Router connects LANs to WANs (Wide Area Network), e.g. the Internet LAN WAN e.g. ADSL e.g. Internet or rented line Network Technology: Equipment l Disadvantage of a simple WAN router: it can connect only one device to the WAN

26. 26 Network Technology: Equipment WAN Router with NAT/NAPT General l Shares the Internet connection into several devices l Shares a global IP address for several devices NAT: Network Address Translation l Translates a global IP address into a private IP address l but: only 1 user can access the Internet at a time

27. 27 Network Technology: Equipment WAN Router with NAPT (1) NAPT: Network Address Port Translation l Translates a global IP address and port no. into a private IP address and port no. (IP masquerade) l Several users can access the Internet simultaneously (session; max. no. of sessions!) l Usually it uses a dynamic routing table but this is not suitable for the N-8000 system u N-8000 communicates with acknowledge signals. When using a dynamic routing table, then the acknowledge signal may not be sent back to the correct receiver u Therefore it is necessary to use fixed private port no. which can be set by the N-8000 software

30. bcbc Transmission

31. 31 Data Rate (Throughput) Official Data Rate Means the capacity of how many data can be transmitted per second. The data rate is mentioned as bps (bit per second). Sometimes it is called forward speed or line capacity. Effective Data Rate Means the actual capacity of which the data is transmitted. In the LAN, the real transmission rate is 60-80% less. (Besides, around half of the rate in case of half duplex) Network Technology: Transmission

33. 33 IP Address What is an IP Address? l IP address means just the address of the node (device): u An IP address of a LAN (such as in an office) is assigned by a network administrator. u An IP address of the Internet, so called “Global IP Address”, is assigned by an Internet provider Network Technology: Transmission

34. 34 Composition of the IP Address The IP address consists of 4 Bytes, divided into l Host address l Subnet address Example: 192.168.1. 3/24 Example: A slash after the IP address indicates how many bits belong to the subnet address. The remaining bits belong to the host address. 11000000101010000000000100000011 bits (binary) 19216813 Bytes 192.168.1. 3 written Network Technology: Transmission

35. 35 Example: IP address ”192.168.1. 3“ but… Subnet mask Network address(Subnet) Host address 255.255.255. 0 192.168. 1 3 255.255. 0. 0 192.168 1.3 255. 0. 0. 0 192 168.1.3 The above three setting mean: All nodes belong to a different subnet. *Examples 192.168.1.3/24, 192.168.1.3/16, 192.168.1.3/8 Subnet Mask A subnet mask is a parameter that divides the IP address into l the subnet (local network) to which the node belongs to l the host address of the node in the subnet. Network Technology: Transmission

36. 36 Default Gateway Transmitting Data to other Network l When the data shall be transmitted to a node of an other subnet, then it will be forwarded to the node called Gateway in the network. l When the data is not send to a known node in the subnet, then the data is transmitted to the node called Default gateway. l The default gateway (in almost all cases it is a router) can route the data to communicate properly, if the default gateway is set in every nodes. Network Technology: Transmission

37. 37 Browser User Interface l The user interface to display homepages of the (World Wide) Web site l Three features “communication, analysis, display” are provided. u It is used for communication with network devices and display. u In this training, we will explain using the Internet Explorer as the browser. Proxy Network Technology: Transmission

38. 38 User’s computer (Demand) WWW server (Receiver) Proxy server User’s computer (Demand) WWW server (Receiver) Proxy server In case of proxy server is not available. In case of proxy server is available. Network Technology: Transmission

39. 39 Proxy Server Problem l The PC can not communicate with network devices on the LAN if the browser is set in order to connect with the Internet via the proxy server. l Then you have to stop the proxy server using or change the setting of the particular address.
