1 COMPUTER NETWORKS

2 Computer Networks A network is two or more computers connected together to allow them to share information and resources. Network connections are created by Cables Radio signals (wireless/wifi) Telephone lines Satellite links (Long distance)

3 Stand-alone Computer A computer which is NOT connected a network is known as stand-alone computer

4 Why Use Networks? Easy file sharing To share expensive resources (Hardware) Centralized storage of data Log on to any workstation to access your work. Communicate with other network users ( , IM, video-conferencing) Network software Access to entertainment (Games, video) To use internet services Online shopping Searching for information Online communities

5 Why Not to Use Computer Network? Computer is vulnerable to hackers If the network breaks works cannot be done Easily be attacked by virus, spreads too.. When we use internet.. Careful about revealing personal information Avoid suspect websites that might contain malware Information found on internet is not accurate or reliable

6 Why Not Use Computer Network? Slow service- as more users logon to network and request for files, we get a slow network Cost purchasing additional hardware and wiring are expensive Expert support required Network administrators are usually highly-paid

7 Computers in Network There are two types of computers in a network. Clients or workstation: are normal computers people sit at to get their work done Servers: are special, powerful computers, they provide services to other computers.

8 Types of Networks Local Area Network (LAN) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Wide Area Network (WAN) Bluetooth (Personal Area Network)

9 Local Area Network LAN is a small network confined to one room, building or a campus. They are geographically small and use cables or low-power radio (wireless) for the connection.

10 Wireless Local Area Network A WLAN is a LAN that uses radio signals to connect the computers instead of cables At the centre of the WLAN there is a wireless switch or router with a small antenna It is convenient to use wireless network because it doesn t use long cables all over the building More difficult to secure, other people can also try to connect. Need to use hard-to-guess password

11 Wireless Local Area Network

12 Wide Area Network It is a network that extend over a continent or the entire globe. A WAN is often created by many LANS. Constituent computers in a WAN are far apart They often use technologies: Optical fibre, satellite radio links, microwave radio links, etc.

13 WAN

14 Bluetooth (Personal Area Network) It is designed for very short-range connections It get rid of the cables Connects computers to its peripheral devices It uses lo-power transmitters and receivers When devices are in range they can be paired

15 Typical uses of Bluetooth Connecting a keyboard to computer Connecting a wireless mouse to computer Connecting wireless headset with a mobile phone Printing wirelessly from a PDA Transferring data from computer to MP3 player Transferring photos from phone/computer to another devices

16 Network Topology A network can be made by connecting computers in number of different ways. These different arrangement is called as Topology There are three common topologies: Bus Network Ring Network Star Network

17 BUS Network In this topology all the computers are connected to a long, central cable.

18 Advantages (BUS Network) Is cheap to install (Just one long cable) Easy to expand the network

19 Disadvantages (BUS Network) Can be quiet slow due to data collision Entire network will stop working if there is any break in the cable or a computer is switched off

20 RING Network In this topology all computers are connected in a circular form

21 Advantages (RING Network) It is cheap less cable length required

22 Disadvantages (Ring Network) If a computer fails the entire network fails Troubleshooting is difficult

23 STAR Network (the most common network topology) In this Topology all the computers are directly connected to a central device called switch/hub

24 Advantages (Star Network) Is very fast as there is no data collision - each computer has its own cable If a cable or computer breaks the other part of network still continue working

25 Disadvantages (Star Network) Is quiet expensive Need to buy long cable and central device Will stop working if the central device fails

26 Hybrid Network Hybrid Network is one that combine two or more of the basic topology.

27 Network Interphase Card (NIC)

28 Network Cable Cables are still used in network because they can carry more data per second and more secure

29 Optical fibre

30 HUB Connects computers in LAN It is the central device in Star Network

31 SWITCH Connects computers in LAN Switch is an intelligent device than Hub

32 ROUTER Router is a network device that connects two or more networks A common use of router is to join home/office network (LAN) to internet (WAN) It can be wireless too

33 PROXY SERVER A proxy server is a computer setup to share a resource usually an internet connection Proxy servers are often used instead of router

34 BRIDGE A bridge is a device that links two different parts of a LAN (Router connects LAN and WAN)

35 FIREWALL A firewall is a device or a piece of software that is placed between your computer/network and the rest of the network.

36 FIREWALL

37 MODEM The word MODEM is an abbreviation of MOdulator DEModulator MODEM converts analogue signals to Digital signal and vice versa. A MODEM contain DAC and ADC MODEM

38 INTERNET Internet is a world-wide network Evolved from an experimental network called ARPANET by US in 1960s It connects millions of computers, thousands of businesses, governments, schools, universities, etc.

39 Internet is Used For View web pages on world wide web (www) Sending and receiving s Sharing files Making VOIP calls, video-conferencing Playing multi-player games Listening to streaming music and videos E-commerce - buying and selling goods online Online communities

40 INTRANET Intranet is a network using the same technology as the internet but it is only accessible within an organisation. Intranet is a private network Used by business and other organisations

41 Typical Uses of Intranet Viewing internal web pages Internal and Instant Messages Sharing internal Document Internal News Broadcast

42 Setting up a Small Network One or more switches/hubs Network cables A wireless access point to connect mobile devices A Router to connect your LAN to Internet(WAN) A firewall to protect you Network from hackers Server to manage network storage, resources, access permissions etc. Also setup an account with Internet Service Provider (ISP). And configure the network and devices

43 Wireless clients Servers Switch Wireless Access point workstation workstation Firewall ISP Router

44 Network and Data Security

45 Preventing Unauthorized Access Physical Security Username and Password, fingerprint-reader Firewall Keep log of all attempts to access the system Data Encryption It is a process of converting data into a unreadable code

A network is two or more computers, or other electronic devices, connected together so that they can exchange data.

A network is two or more computers, or other electronic devices, connected together so that they can exchange data. Computer Networks What is a Network?
