  1. Incident Hardware and Network Design

  2. We Do Not Endorse or Recommend Any Vendor

  3. Overview • Equipment we support • Documentation • BPA’s • Network Layout

  4. Equipment We Support • Routers • Switches • Wireless Access Points • Servers • Workstations • Network Attached Storage (NAS) • Printers and Print Servers • Plotters • Satellite Transceivers • Mobile Devices

  5. Document It • Record any and all bits of information regarding your network • Get in the habit of doing it now • IP addresses, passwords, property location, phone numbers • Transition documentation

  6. BPA’s • Nationwide or Regional Rental Agreements • Negotiated With Hartford, Smart Source, and Spectrum • Fire, GIS, FBAN and e-ISuite server Computer Configurations, iPad, networking equipment, Peripherals (new National Standard being developed) • Check With Your Finance Chief for the latest Agreements

  7. Let’s Start With the Router • A router is a device that forwards traffic between networks and subnetworks --- yours and the Internet, for instance. • It is the _______ of your network • One per network/subnetwork • Can provide wired or wireless access to networkable devices • Provides DHCP

  8. Router Configuration • Set the admin id and password • Configure WAN Port (the connection to your ISP) • Enable DHCP • Disable wireless access until/unless needed • Reserve a block of static IP addresses for printers, servers, etc. (or set reservations….your choice) • Set the DHCP range • Document ad nauseum

  9. Switches • A Switch is a device that connects networkable devices which have IP addresses Older Models are still in use, so be careful • Uplink or auto-sensing ports • Last port link or uplink

  10. ICP Network Layout • Server Central • Label your cables • Additional Devices – workstations, printers • Additional Yurts/Rooms/Buildings • Use a Star Topology early and as you expand the network • Seems like we always end up daisy chaining • How are we going to cover long distances to Supply or Ground Support? • How do we connect remote users or join ICP’s that are miles apart?

  11. Typical Network Setup in a Type 3 to Type 2 to Type 1 Fire Camp DON’T DO THIS TO THE INCOMING ITSS

  12. DO THIS

  13. Star Topology Home Runs From Central Server Location To Individual “Yurts/Trailers” Switches w/in “Yurts” To Connect PCs or Meshed Access Points w/in “Yurt” Switch

  14. Tree or Daisy-Chain

  15. Typical Network Setup in an ICP

  16. What Kind of Workstations? • Rentals • Agency Imaged • Agency Non-imaged • DO NOT LET Personal Equipment ON YOUR NETWORK

  17. Keep Your Network Virus Free • Check for Antivirus currency • Don’t put your network at risk • NIMDA at Lakeview Complex • LUVSAN at B & B

  18. Configure Workstations • DHCP enabled router: set TCP/IP to automatically obtain an IP address and DNS server addresses • Join the appropriate workgroup or domain • Do not UNJOIN Agency PCs from Their Domain

  19. Workgroup or Domain

  20. Not Networked? • Check Connections • Start  Run  cmd • Ipconfig {/all /release /renew} • Check NIC Configuration • Enabled? • DHCP Enabled?

  21. Printers and Plotters • Avoid “Sharing” Printers • Use print servers like JetDirect or D-Link • Use the latest Drivers and BIOS • Static or Reserved IPs • Only set up plotters for users that need them – plotters are a precious commodity

  22. Summary • Equipment We Use • Document • BPA • Router Setup • Switches • Network Layout • Workstations • Printers and Plotters • GPS Devices • Mobile Devices
