7. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Structured Wiring  Main Cross-Connect (Main Distribution Frame) – Riser Cable(“Backbone”)  Intermediate Cross-Connect (Int. Dist. Frame) – Horizontal Wiring  Jack Field – Drop Cable  Workstation

8. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Why use Hierarchical Wiring?  Flexibility = Lower Cost From Bates, Voice and Data Communications Handbook: – Estimated Cost for 50 single wire pulls: $15,568 – Estimated Cost for 50 dual wire pulls: $16,935

9. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Wiring Standards  Building Wiring Standards – Electronic Industries Association – Telecommunications Industry Association – EIA/TIA 568 Commercial Building Wiring Standard  “Outside Plant” – Bell Labs technical publications – Now maintained by Telcordia (formerly Bellcore)

10. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann RJ-What?  As an aside for the eternally curious: The RJxx nomenclature appears in the legal documents used by the FCC to identify permitted methods to connect telecom equipment to the network  For the really, really curious: Title 47 CFR, Part 68, Subpart F, Section 502

11. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Signal Transmission Overview Analog Data over Analog Transmission Systems Digital Data over Analog Transmission Systems Analog Data over Digital Transmission Systems Digital Data over Digital Transmission Systems

12. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Analog Signaling of Digital Data  Encode "0" and "1" as changes in one signal property  Amplitude Shift Keying: Use two signal amplitudes, one for each bit value.  Frequency Shift Keying: Change the signal frequency to indicate the bit value.  Phase Shift Keying: Create a phase change relative to the most recent bit to indicate the bit value

13. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Digital Signaling of Analog Information  Voice Codec – Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) – Compressed Voice  Video Codec

14. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Digital Encoding Example PCM  Example: Voice  4000 Hz  Sample at twice the highest frequency (8000 samples per second)  8 bits per sample  Result: 64kbps

21. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Ethernet  Designed as a broadcast medium; each transmission is received by every station  Based on a bus architecture  Manchester Encoding  Several Media Types – 10Base5 – 10Base2 – 10Base-T – 10Base-F

22. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann 10Base-T  Simulates the Ethernet bus using an active star topology.  Uses unshielded twisted pair wiring.  “4-pair” (8 conductor) wiring is normally used, but only 2 pairs are used – 1 transmit pair one receive pair  Each station connects to a central hub. – Cables are wired “straight through” – Hub ports are “crossed” (transmit/receive are reversed

23. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Fast Ethernet  All use a star topology  100Base-TX – Two pair copper wire (Cat 5) – Same pin-out at 10Base-T, better wire  100Base-FX – Two fibers  100Base-T4 – Rarely used; 4 pair lower quality (cat 3) wires  1000Base-X (4 pair Cat 5 or 5E)

24. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann FDDI  100 Mbps Ring  Usually based on optical fiber  Based on the Token Ring Standard  Provides capacity pre-allocation  Economics: – Ethernet is cheaper than token ring and does almost as good a job – so it wins – Fast Ethernet is cheaper than FDDI and does almost as good a job – so it wins

25. Applied Data Networking © 2003, Hans Kruse and Shawn Ostermann Other Stuff  The slides after this one have probably not been used in class unless a specific question came up
