Objectives • Define common network topologies and identify structured cable distribution schemes • Identify the major industry bodies and standards, and obtain and read standards documents • Identify the layers of the Open Systems Interconnection reference model (OSI/RM), and describe the function of each layer • Relate networking and convergence protocols, services and equipment to each OSI/RM layer • Explain data encapsulation in relation to frame assembly and function on the network • Relate common networking and convergence protocols, services and equipment to each of the four layers of the TCP/IP model
Networks Defined • Network – two or more connected computers that share data • Host – a computer that participates in a network, often providing services to other computing systems • Most networks are: • Local area networks (LANs) • Wide area networks (WANs)
Data Networks and Convergence • The public switched telephone network (PSTN) is an integral part of the Internet infrastructure • Internet Protocol (IP) telephony– a technology that uses packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax and other forms of data • Voice over IP (VoIP)– voice information delivered in digital form as packets of data using IP • Communications over Internet Protocol (CoIP)– a set of emerging standards defining transmission of multimedia (text, images, video) over the Internet
Networking Elements and Models Network elements: • Protocols – communication rules on which all network elements must agree • Transmission media– media (such as cables or wireless technologies) that enable all networking elements to interconnect • Network services– resources that all network users share Networking models: • Mainframe – centralized; all processing is performed by the mainframe • Client/server – distributed; reduces congestion by dividing processing and storage tasks between the client and the server • Web-based – increasingly decentralized and more affordable networking
Network Connections and Cable Distribution • Backbone cabling– used to connect LANs together • Campus distributor (CD)– used between routers and switches to connect LANs in different buildings within one general location • Vertical cabling– considered part of the backbone and runs between floors in a multi-floor building • Building distributor (BD)– the main interface between public or private telecommunications lines coming into a building and the internal network wiring • Horizontal wiring– connects individual users to the data or telecommunications network • Cross-connect– the point at which one type of wiring or cabling is connected with another
Network Connections and Cable Distribution (cont'd) • Wiring closet– a room or closet that houses all equipment associated with telecommunications wiring systems • Floor distributor (FD)– a rack that interconnects wiring between a BD and workstations • Patch panel– a group of sockets (usually consisting of pin locations and ports) mounted on a rack • Punchdown block– a device that connects one group of wires to another group of wires through a system of metal pins to which the wires are attached

Objectives • Compare and contrast the use of E-carrier, T-carrier, SONET/SDH and ISDN technologies for data and voice networks, including bandwidths of common technologies • Identify cable terminators • Define and contrast data communications equipment (DCE) and data terminating equipment (DTE) • Identify network media, and identify proper cabling procedures in specific environments • Compare and contrast straight-through, crossover, rolled and null-modem cabling
Transmission Types • Synchronous transmission • Access device and network device share a clock • Asynchronous transmission • No clock in the transmission media • Data transmission flow • Simplex – data travels in only one direction • Half duplex – data travels in two directions, but in only one direction at a time • Full duplex – data travels in two directions simultaneously • Baseband and broadband transmissions • Baseband – uses entire media bandwidth for a single channel • Broadband – divides the media bandwidth into multiple channels, and each channel carries a separate signal
Digital Signaling • Digital signal level zero (DS0) – the basic level of digital communication upon which all other digital signaling levels are built • Digital Signal Hierarchy (DSH) – an electrical (as opposed to optical) hierarchy used to classify the speed capacities of multiplexed lines • T-carrier system – a North American high-speed digital carrier system used to transmit data • E-carrier system – a European high-speed digital carrier system used to transmit data in almost all countries outside the United States, Canada and Japan
Digital Signaling (cont'd) • Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) – a completely digital service capable of carrying voice, fax, imaging or data communications • Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) – a North America high-speed fiber-optic system for optical transmissions • Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) – an international high-speed fiber-optic system for optical transmissions
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) ISDN configurations: • 2B+D – also known as Basic Rate Interface (BRI). Intended for home use. Uses two 64-Kbps B channels and one 16-Kbps D channel • 23B+1D – available in the United States and Japan. Intended for business use. Designed for 23 B channels plus one D channel • 30B+2D – also known as Primary Rate Interface (PRI). Available in Europe. Intended for business use. Designed for 30 B channels and two D channels
Benefits of Using SONET/SDH • It is possible to use multiplexers and routers to combine different data lines and streams onto one line • One heterogeneous network can communicate with another distant heterogeneous network
Common Peripheral Ports • Serial ports • Universal Serial Bus (USB) • FireWire (IEEE 1394) • Parallel ports • PS/2 connectors • Small computer system interface (SCSI) • Amphenol connectors
Serial Ports • Serial ports are computer sockets that connect serial devices to a computer • Use two types of connectors: • DB-9 (9-pin) – usually COM1 • DB-25 (25-pin) – usually COM2 and used for modem
Universal Serial Bus (USB) • USB interface may replace serial and parallel ports • USB allows up to 127 devices to be daisy-chained using one USB port • Two USB standards: • USB 1.0 offers transfer rate of 12 Mbps for fast devices (and 1.5 Mbps for slow devices) • USB 2.0 offers transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps • Two USB connectors: • Type A is rectangular and relatively small. All permanent connections use the Type A connector • Type B is square and is only used for devices that use a separate cable

Transmission Media Free space transmission media: • Infrared • Short-range wireless • Microwave • Satellite Cable transmission media: • Twisted-pair cable • Coaxial cable • Fiber-optic cable
Free Space Transmission • Infrared (IR) – wireless communication in which signals are sent via light waves that are longer than those of the visible light spectrum • Short-range wireless – used for networking PCs and for connecting a PC to peripherals • The most common standard for peripheral device communications is Bluetooth • Microwave – signals sent by line-of-sight transmission via parabolic antennas mounted on towers • Satellite – transmits information between two stations that are not within the line of sight of each other
Twisted-Pair Cable • Maximum segment length of 100 metres • Available in two basic types: • Shielded (STP) – twisted copper wrapped in a metal sheath; more difficult to install and maintain than UTP • Unshielded (UTP) – most common; less expensive than STP, but prone to electromagnetic interference • STP and UTP are available in two varieties: • Stranded – most common; flexible and easy to handle around corners and objects • Solid – can span longer distances, but less flexible and will break if bent multiple times
Twisted-Pair Cable Types • Straight-through cable – the transmit wires on one end of the cable connect to the transmit wires on the opposite end of the cable • Crossover cable – the transmit wires on one end will connect to the receiving wires on the other end, and vice versa • Rolled cable – a serial cable in which one end of the cable is wired as the mirror image of the other end • Null-modem cable – an RS-232 serial cable in which the transmit and receive lines are cross-linked
Coaxial Cable • Used for video and communication networks • Provides higher bandwidth than twisted-pair cable • Designed for baseband, broadband and television networks • Supports data transfer rates from 1 Mbps to100 Mbps • Transfer rate of 10 Mbps common for LAN • Common types: RG-6, RG-11, RG-59 • Uses the F-type connector:
