  1. Cindy Perrin ETEC 5303 Tour of Lead Hill High School’s Computer Network

  2. Meet our network administrator-Suzette Howerton

  3. Suzette told me that this is where it all starts! This is where we connect to the Ethernet via NATCO (our service provider). Ethernet According to Pidgeon (n.d.a), messages are sent through the Ethernet in chunks called frames, which are defined by the Ethernet protocol. See http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ethernet5.htm for more information.

  4. Next in line is the router… According to Franklin (n.d.), the router allows information to be sent back and forth between computers. Check out the animation at http://computer.howstuffworks.com/router1.htm

  5. The filter screens all information… • Suzette explained that the filter works in two directions: • it stops users from accessing forbidden Web sites • it stops unwanted information from coming in • If students or staff try to access blocked Web sites, warning messages pop up.

  6. Next in line are the switches and patch panel… Image retrieved from http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ethernet14.htm According to Pidgeon (n.d.b), the switches allow many simultaneous communications to occur within the network. Fiber optics make the connections between the filter and the switches (lower half of picture).

  7. From the patch panel information goes to: OR SERVERS, WHICH HAVE FILES AND APPLICATIONS USED BY THE NETWORK OTHER COMPUTERS IN THE NETWORK

  8. We have wireless access points scattered throughout the campus. These allow us to use our laptops and iPads! Finally… According to Brain and Wilson (n.d.), “A computer's wireless adapter translates data into a radio signal and transmits it using an antenna.” *See http://computer.howstuffworks.com/wireless-network1.htm for more information.
