  1. Networking U2M3 Network Devices

  2. Objectives • List the basic network hardware • Describe various Transmission Media • Explain the function of various network hardware • Identify the OSI layer that the equipment resides

  3. OSI layers • Application (Layer 7)Presentation (Layer 6)Session (Layer 5)Transport (Layer 4)Network (Layer 3)Data Link (Layer 2)Physical (Layer 1) • All People Seem To Need Data Processing • Please Do Not Through Sausage Pizza Away

  4. Node • A Node is any device on a network that is accessed directly. • server • workstation • printer • scanner • or any other kind of peripheral • A node has • an unique name or IP address so the rest of the network can identify it.

  5. Physical (Layer 1) –Network devices • Transmission Medium • Connectors • HUBS • Repeaters • Network Cards • Modems • Data Transmission via : electric voltages, radio frequencies, pulses of infrared or ordinary light

  6. Data Flow • Simplex transmission • One direction only • Television and radio • Half-duplex transmission • Both direction – one direction at a time • CB radio, terminal • Full-duplex transmission • Both directions at the same time • Telephone, computer to computer

  7. Timing • Asynchronous transmission • Start/stop bits for character synchronization • Mark (1or stop) /space (0 or start ) bits for bit synchronization • Simple, inexpensive, slow speed transmission • For personal computer • Synchronous transmission • Clock circuitry • One to four synchronization characters for each block of data • Large amount of data on dedicated line

  8. Transmission Medium Any material that is capable of carrying one or more signals • Twisted Pair • Coaxial Cable • Fiber Optics • wireless Signals

  9. Twisted pair cabling Shielded and Unshielded. • Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) • Category 3 - Data to 10 Mbps (Ethernet) • Ethernet specification -10BaseT • Category 4 - Data to 20 Mbps (Token Ring) • Category 5 -Data to 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) • Ethernet specification -100BaseT

  10. RJ-45 connector • The standard connector for twisted pair cabling is an RJ-45 connector

  11. Coaxial Cable • Coaxial cabling has a single copper conductor at its centre • Ethernet specification - 10Base2 • resistant to signal interference. • supports greater cable lengths between network devices • Cable television (CATV) network wiring often uses coaxial cable

  12. Bayone-Neill-Concelman (BNC) connector • connector used with coaxial cables • T-connector, • barrel connector • terminator

  13. Fiber optic • consists of a centre glass core surrounded by several layers of protective materials • Ethernet specification -10BaseF • Transmit • light rather than electronic signals • signals over much longer distances • at greater speeds • 100Mbps to 1Gbps.

  14. Fiber Optic Connector • ST connector • It is barrel shaped, similar to a BNC connector • SC connector • It has a squared face

  15. Communications Media Summary • Twisted pair (copper cable) • used in telephone network and LANs • Coaxial cable • high quality, well insulated cable • Fibre optic cable • sends pulses of light rather than electricity • Microwave • almost line of sight (can be up to about 30 miles apart) • Communications satellite • in geosynchronous orbit (rotating at the same speed as earth, therefore stationary relative to Earth)

  16. FireWire • FireWire also known as IEEE 1394 • transfers information between digital devices, especially audio and video equipment. • is fast -- speeds up to 800 Mbps.

  17. WIRELESS TRANSMISSION MEDIA • Wireless Transmission media send communication signals through air or space using radio, microwave, and infrared signals. • Has a transceiver/antenna to send and receive the data. • Advantage • more convenient than installing cables • where installing cables are impossible. • The wireless transmission media • Satellite • Microwave • Wireless fidelity (WiFi)

  18. Satellite • This makes connectivity available via satellites that orbit the earth • provides access to users in remote areas

  19. Satellite • A communication satellite is a space station that receives microwave signals from an earth-based station, amplifies (strengthens) the signals, and broadcasts the signals back to earth over a wide area to any number of earth-based stations. • The earth-based stations - • microwave stations. • smart phones • GPS receivers,

  20. Satellite • Communication satellite’s transfer data rate is 1Gbps. • Uplink is the transmission from an earth-based station to a satellite. • Downlink is the transmission from a satellite to an earth-based station.

  21. Microwave

  22. Microwaves • Microwaves are radio waves that provide a high-speed signal transmission • maximum rate of 150 Mbps • use line-of-sight transmission • fixed wireless, involving sending signals from one microwave station to another.

  23. WiFi • IEEE 802.11x. • 802.11a, • up to 54 Mbps • Uses 5 GHz range • 802.11b , • 11 Mbps • Uses 2.4 GHz range • Interference • 802.11g, • 54 Mbps • Uses 2.4 GHz range • 802.11n • over 100 Mbps • multiple wireless signals and antennas (MIMO technology)

  24. Hubs • A hub is central device that (seldom still used today) • provides a common connection point for nodes on the network. • broadcast messages

  25. Hubs - Functions • When a signal is sent from a computer, it is • received by the hub • make a clean, strong copy of the signal. • Broadcast • Retransmitted to all other computers connect to it. • accepted only by computer the signal is addressed.

  26. Hubs - Issues / Disadvantages/ Problems • If the hub goes down, the whole network goes down. • Broadcasting messages • slow down network • generate lot of traffic • Lowers security

  27. Repeater • Amplifies the input signals and retransmits. • It Is used to extend the range of a network segment.

  28. Network Interface Card • NICs play an important role in connecting a computer to the physical part of the network

  29. Modem • A modem (Modulator DEModulator) is a device that modulates an analogue carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information.

  30. Types Modem Connections Telephone service • Dial-up Modems Broadband Telephone Service • Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) • DSL (Digital Service Line) TV service • Cable modem

  31. Dial-up Modems • Features • Analogue • dial-up connections • normal phone lines • dial-up service • data rate up to 56 Kbps • voice or data • on the phone or internet • Connect drops when phone rigns

  32. Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) • Features • dial-up service • Digital • special ISDN telephone line • Data rate use 64Kpbs channels • combined channels for higher speeds.

  33. Digital Service Line (DSL) • Features • Digital • Telephone lines • Always connected • Data rate up to 6 Mbps • Use both data and voice (be on the phone and internet)

  34. Cable modem • Features • Analogue or digital • Uses coaxial cable • Always connected • data rate up to 30 Mbps

  35. Data Link (Layer 2) • Network Interface Card • Switches – uses MAC address • Bridges

  36. Network Interface Card • a NIC operates at both layer 1 and Layer 2. • At Layer 2 • the NIC MAC address are used by switches to make connections between nodes

  37. Switches • A switch is a network device that connects a number of computers together to make a LAN. • Function • each computer has its cables plugged into it • on receiving a message, it checks who it is addressed to, and only sends it to that specific computer.

  38. Switches • Is an ‘intelligent’ device • Compared to a hub • networks that use switches are more secure than those that use hubs, • more expensive than hubs. • The typical use of a switch • At the centre of a star network (or as part of a hybrid network)

  39. Bridge • A bridge is a network device that typically links together two different parts of a LAN.

  40. Bridge Functions • analyze incoming data packets • Determine which segment of the network to send the given packet. • filters data traffic at a network boundary • reduce the amount of traffic on a LAN • divided into two segments

  41. Network (Layer 3) • Routers - uses the IP address • Layer Three switches (brouter)

  42. Routers A network device that • is used to connect together two or more networks. • a LAN to a WAN

  43. Router Functions • forwards data packets across and between computer networks. • different from a switch which works within a single network • selects the fastest available path • For data packets to reach their destination • allows multiple computers to share a single high-speed (Internet) connection

  44. Routers • A wireless router is a router and wireless switch combined. • It links a wireless LAN to a WAN

  45. Transport (Layer 4) • Gateways • Proxy Server • Firewalls

  46. Transport (Layer 4) • Gateways • Proxy Server
