    The document discusses key concepts in computer networking including network diagrams, types of networks (WAN, LAN, MAN, PAN), networking devices like switches, hubs, routers, modems, cables, and topologies. It defines Local Area Networks (LANs) that connect computers within a small geographic area like a home or office, Wide Area Networks (WANs) that span larger areas like cities and countries, and Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) that connect LANs within a metropolitan region. Personal Area Networks (PANs) connect devices near an individual user. [/SUMMARY]

    Introduction Computer Networking

    TERMINOLOGIES

    NETWORK DIAGRAMS

    Basic layout/map of a computer networks

    NETWORK TYPES

    Computer types are base in shape and size.

    ○ WAN ○ LAN ○ MAN ○ PAN

    FIBER OPTIC CABLE

    One of the latest innovation in network cabling.

    SWITCHES & HUB

    The central device within a computer network that transmit data

    ROUTER

    Connects Modem to other device to allow communication from devices to the Internet.

    MODEM

    Enable connection/communication with the internet.

    TOPOLOGIES

    refers the infrastructure of computer networks.

    FIREWALL

    Network software that keeps destructive forces and intruders from a computer network.

    COMPUTER NETWORKS

    Computer network connects two or more autonomous computers.


    The computers can be geographically located anywhere.

    Computer Network enable computer to communicate and transfer data and files from one computer to
    another.

    Computer networks can also create a group of computer networks.

    It uses a device called network switch / hub to connect all the computer station from one another to
    establish a group of network.
    THE NETWORK DIAGRAM

    TYPES OF COMPUTER NETWORK

    ○ Local Area Network (LAN)

    ○ Wide Area Network (WAN)

    ○ Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

    ○ Personal Area Network (PAN)

    ○ Peer-to-peer

    (1) Local Area Network (LAN)


    (2) Wide Area Network (WAN)

    is a communications network that spans a large geographic area such as across cities, states, or
    countries. They can be private to connect parts of a business or they can be more public to connect
    smaller networks together.

    (3) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

    is a series of LANs (Local Area Networks) that are interconnected in a Metropolitan area such as a city,
    region or country.

    (4) Personal Area Network (PAN)


    interconnection of information technology devices or gadgets within the environment of an individual
    user.

    (5) Peer-to-Peer Network Commonly known as P2P network.

    is created when two or more PCs are connected and share resources without going through a separate
    server computer. Each workstations has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. Does not require
    switch or hub.

    TECHONOLOGIES IN NETWORKING

    NETWORK SWITCH / HUB

    Used to connects various of network devices and computer to perform computer networking.

    A network device that channels incoming data from any of multiple input ports to the specific output
    port that will take it toward its intended destination.

    MODEM

    A modem connects the source of your Internet from your ISP and your home network, whether you
    use a cable provider, like Comcast, fiber optics, like FIOS, satellite, such as Direct TV, or a DSL or dial-up
    phone connection. The modem connects to your router–or directly to your computer–using an
    Ethernet cable.

    Modems are different for each type of service; they are not interchangeable.

    ROUTER

    Network device that join multiple computer networks together via either wired or wireless
    connections.

    It also connects two or more networks and that the router operates at the network layer of the OSI
    model.

    ETHERNET CABLE

    A cable use to connect your computer and network devices.

    Ethernet cables resembles a phone cable but are larger and feature more wires.

    Both cables share a similar shape and plug but an Ethernet cable has eight wires and a larger plug than
    the four wires found in phone cables.

    REPEATER

    Network device used to regenerate or replicate a signal.


    It extend the coverage area of your WiFi network. It works by receiving your existing WiFi connection,
    amplifying it and then transmitting the boosted signal. With this network device you can boost the
    signal and effectively double the coverage area of your WiFi network.
