Network Definition
• A network is a system of interconnected objects or
people. There are many different types of
networks. A computer network is defined as
having two or more devices such as workstations,
printers, and servers linked together for the
purpose of sharing information.

Computer Networks Using Voice Cable
• Telephone lines are often used for transmitting
data between computers, particularly for home
and small business Internet users. Although this is
a slow connection method, it is fairly inexpensive,
and for many home users, the only option
available.
• New telco (short for telephone company) data
services are bringing higher bandwidths at
reasonable costs to home and small business
users over the same copper wires that carry voice
calls .

Benefits of Networking
• Sharing Output Devices - Printers, other output
devices, and fax machines can be shared.
• Sharing Input Devices - High-end devices are
typically used occasionally and are often
expensive so it makes sense to configure them for
multiple users on the network.
• Sharing Storage Devices - Files can be saved on
these storage devices and accessed from
anywhere on the network.

More Benefits of Networking
• Sharing Internet Connections - With the proper
software, an entire LAN can connect to the
Internet through one phone line and a single ISP
account.
• Security – It is much easier to secure data and
resources when policies and enforcement are
centralized and managed.
• Sharing Data and Applications - Sharing data files
result in the efficient use of disk space and easier
collaboration on multi-user projects.

Role of cabling in a network
• In the past, data and voice networks were
separate. Today, the wiring systems are integrated
creating organized and standards-driven
structured cabling systems.
• Such systems pull wires for both data and voice
networks at the same time, sometimes even using
the same kind of wiring for both.

Networking media
• The most common networking medium is copper
wiring, which uses electrical current to send
signals.
• Fiber-optic cable uses pulses of light to transmit
signals along thin strands of glass.
• Wireless media include radio waves, infrared, or
microwave waves.

Server Location Issues
• One feature of any structured cabling installation
is the ability to provide services from any location
on the network.
• Peer-to-peer networks have no central server.
Every network member shares files with every
other member.
• Servers contain information or applications that
can be accessed by many users.

Types of Computer Networks
• A local area network (LAN) is a computer
network that connects a cluster of users and
devices within a building and is managed on site.
• Multiple LANs can be internetworked together to
form Building Area Networks (BANs) or
Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs).
• LANs, BANs, and MANs can be internetworked
together over large geographical regions to form
Wide Area Networks (WANs).

Global and regional voice networks
• The telephone system is a
global network allowing
users from virtually
anywhere in the world to
call another user. The
global telephone network
is composed of smaller
telephone networks from
each country.

Local voice network
• A localized voice network is basically a private
telephone network confined to an organization.
These are called private branch exchanges
(PBXs), and are found in many large
organizations.
• PBXs allow users to access other users on the
network by only dialing their extension rather
than the entire phone number. Users of the PBX
share a certain number of outside lines for
making telephone calls external to the PBX.

Local Area Networks
• A computer network that
connects users and
devices within a building
or campus and is
managed on site is
called a Local-Area
Network (LAN). LANs
are found in businesses,
schools, governments,
and even homes.

Metropolitan Area Networks
• When two or more
LANs are linked
within a city or
limited geographic
area, it is called a
metropolitan-area
network (MAN).

Wide Area Networks
• A wide-area network (WAN) has few geographic limits.
WANs can cover a city, country, or even the entire
world.
• The Internet is an example of a WAN.

Network topologies
• Computer networks have physical and logical
topologies.
• Physical topologies are the layout of the
networking cables, devices, and workstations.
• Logical topologies dictate the path data takes
between devices and workstations.
• Every network has both a logical and a physical
topology.

The Bus Topology
• A physical bus topology uses a single length of
cable that runs from one end of the network to
the other.
• Users are connected to the central cable by
segments of cable.

The OSI reference model
• The OSI reference model is used universally as
a method for teaching and understanding
network functionality.
• Following the OSI model when designing,
building, upgrading, or troubleshooting will
achieve greater compatibility and interoperability
between various types of network technologies.

Reasons for using the OSI model
• Divides the aspects of network operation into
less complex elements.
• Enables engineers to specialize design and
development efforts on specific functions.
• Prevents changes in one area from affecting
other areas, so that each area can evolve more
quickly.
• Allows network designers to choose the right
networking devices and functions for that layer.
• Helps with testing and troubleshooting.

Physical layer (Layer 1)
• This layer provides the electrical, mechanical,
procedural, and functional means for activating
and maintaining whatever physical link exists
between hosts.
• If the link between hosts or networks is severed
or experiencing problems, data may not transmit.
• Networking media such as twisted-pair, coaxial,
and fiber-optic cable are layer 1 equipment.
Copyright 2003
Fundamentals of Voice and Data Cabling 1.2

Data-link layer (Layer 2)
• This layer deals with speed of transmission, flow
control, error identification, and topology.
• This layer recognizes special identifiers that are
unique to each computer, called media access
control (MAC) addresses.
Copyright 2003
Fundamentals of Voice and Data Cabling 1.2

Network layer (Layer 3)
• The network layer adds logical or network
addresses, such as Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses to information that passes through it.
• With the addition of this information, the frames
are now called packets.
• This layer is responsible for determining the best
way to move data from one network to another.
• Routers perform this operation and are thus
referred to as Layer 3 devices.

Transport layer (Layer 4)
• This layer takes the data file and divides it up
into segments to facilitate transmission.
• This layer is also responsible for reliable delivery
of data between the two hosts.

Session layer (Layer 5)
• The session layer establishes, maintains, and
manages conversations, called sessions,
between two or more applications on different
computers.
• The session layer is involved in keeping the lines
open for the duration of the session and
disconnecting them at the conclusion.

Presentation layer (Layer 6)
• This layer provides formatting services to the
application layer by ensuring the data that arrives
from another computer can be used by an
application.
• For instance, it translates EBCDIC characters
from mainframe computers into ASCII characters
for PCs so that an application can read the data.
• This layer is also responsible for encryption and
compression.

Layer 1 problems
• When there are problems with a network,
troubleshooting should begin with
Layer 1.
• It is estimated that about three-quarters of all
network problems are Layer 1 problems.
• Many of these could be avoided when installing
cable.

Data-link Layer Functions
• Data-link layer (Layer 2) LAN devices help filter
network traffic by looking at the MAC addresses
in the frame.
• These MAC addresses are physical addresses
burned into the network interface cards (NICs)
on PCs and devices.
• The data-link layer devices use these addresses
when performing their functions.
Copyright 2003
Fundamentals of Voice and Data Cabling 1.2

Bridges
• A bridge keeps a table with all MAC addresses
on the network.
• This table enables the bridge to recognize which
MAC addresses are on each side of the bridge.
• A bridge works by keeping traffic destined for
one side of the bridge to that side alone.

Switches
• A switch can divide the network into many
subnetworks or smaller networks depending on
the number of ports on the switch.
• A switch helps to keep network communications
from reaching beyond where they are destined.
• A switch allows multiple connections within it.
When two hosts are communicating, they use
only a pair of ports.

Network Layer Functions
• The network layer (Layer 3) deals with higherlevel addressing schemes and path
determination. The network layer address is the
Internet Protocol (IP) address of a computer.
• Each computer on a network has an IP address
to identify its location on the network. It indicates
to which network and subnetwork a computer
belongs.

Routers
• A router is a Layer 3 networking device that
connects network segments or entire networks.
• It is considered more intelligent than Layer 2
devices because it makes decisions based on
information received about the network as a
whole.
• A router examines the IP address of the
destination computer to determine which path is
best to take to reach the destination.

Transport Layer Functions
• The transport layer (Layer 4) is responsible for
segmenting the data file and regulating the flow
of information from source to destination.
• This end-to-end control is provided using a
variety of techniques, such as sequence
numbers, acknowledgements, and windowing.

Presentation Layer Functions
• The presentation layer (Layer 6) facilitates
communication between applications on diverse
computer systems to occur in such a way that it
is transparent to the applications. It does so by
reformatting the data.
