Connected by cables, telephone lines, radio waves
Types include:
LAN - Local Area Networks (common)
WAN - Wide Area Network (common)
MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
WLAN - Wireless LAN
WWAN - Wireless WAN]]> 2023-09-04 22:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683815484 grhollis1 https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683815522 1. User Access Control

(printing, faxing, software hosting, file storage, messaging, data storage, retrieval, complete access control - security)

* Workstations - desktops, computers, keyboards, mouse, display, laptops, iPads, iPhones

*Servers tend to be more powerful than workstations.

*WAPs (wireless access points) provide a bridge between computers and networks.

*Cable connections remain the fastest]]> 2023-09-04 22:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683815640 grhollis1 https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683815673 *Connects networks in larger geographic areas such as the US to the world.

*Complicated - using multiplexers, bridges, routers, global communication networks (www)

*OSI - Open Systems Interconnection
-Common Protocols: HTTP, FTP, SMTP, DNS, Telnet

*There are 4 layers : 
1. Ethernet (Physical/Data Link Layers)
2. IP/IPX (Network Layer)
3. TCP/SPX (Transport Layer)
4. HTTP, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, and DNS (Combined Session/presentation/application layers)

*Ethernet - original standard developed in 1983 with max speed of 10 Mbps

*Current standards use a twisted pair wire
Common Types - 10BaseT, 100BaseT, 1000BaseT
(Baseband means it has full control of the wire on a single frequency)
"T" stands for Twisted Pair
"Fiber" can also be used (ex: 10BaseFL)]]> 2023-09-04 22:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683815760 grhollis1 https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683817703 Category 5 twisted pair or fiber optic cables
*100BaseT - 100Mbps over 2 pair category 5 or better UTP cable
*100Base FX - 100Mbps over fiber cable
*100BaseSX - 100Mbps over multimode fiber cable
*100BaseBX - 100Mbps over single mode fiber cable]]> 2023-09-04 22:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683817703 grhollis1 https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683820182 IP & IPX (Network Layer) - in charge of routing network messages (data) from one computer to another.
- Are the leading protocols for most networks

MAC - Media Access Control - address assigned to a network card (fixed and cannot be changed) for devices on the network

TCP & SPX (Transport Layer) - by far the most popular protocol at the transport level

HTTP, FTP, SMTP, DNS (Session/Presentation/Application Layers)
*DNS - Domain Name System - translates network address (IP Address) into human terms
*DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration - automatically assigns Internet addresses to computers and users
*FTP - File Transfer Protocol - transfers and manipulates files on the internet
*HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol - Internet-based protocol for webpages on the internet
*IMAP -Internet Message Access Protocol for email messages
*IRC - Internet Relay Chat - a protocol used for Internet chat and other communications
*POP3 - Post Office Protocol Version 3 - used by email clients to retrieve messages from remote servers
SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - A protocol for email messages on the Internet]]> 2023-09-04 22:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683820182 grhollis1 https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683820214 Includes all computers, peripherals, interface cards, and other equipment needed to perform data-processing and communications within the network.

1. Shielded
2. Unshielded

Unshielded UTP is the most popular and best option for schools. It has a standard connector (RJ-45) connector, which looks much like a telephone connector.]]> 2023-09-04 22:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683820237 grhollis1 https://padlet.com/grhollis1/Bookmarks/wish/2683822220 Coordinates multiple computers across a network
