Page 6 NETWORKS What you want ..is for all your computers to be able to: Communicate -- send and receive e-mail, and participate in conferences Share information -- transfer files among systems, and get information from central databases Share resources -- use shared printers,...
Page 7: The Problem Is
NETWORKS The problem is ..standalone computers have no way to talk to each other, so attempts at communication fail.
Page 8 NETWORKS The solution: a local area network A local area network (or LAN) provides connections that tie the computers together and allow them to communicate. (The most common type of local area network may also be referred to as an Ethernet LAN or an Ethernet.) Local area networks can be either wired (as shown here) or...
Page 9 NETWORKS Wired LANs As the name implies, a wired LAN connects computers (and other network devices) physically, using wires. A typical LAN uses twisted-pair wiring (similar to telephone wiring) to connect each computer to a central hub. The hub transmits network communications between computers.
Page 10 NETWORKS DETAIL Wiring: twisted-pair The most common wiring used for LANs is twisted-pair wiring, similar to the wiring used for telephones. This wiring connects the computers or other network devices to a central hub. The use of telephone-type wiring makes it easy for the persons who administer your telephone wiring to administer the network...
Page 12 NETWORKS DETAIL Wiring: thin coax An alternative to twisted-pair wiring is thin coaxial cabling, often called thin coax. This cabling is known as RG-58A or RG-58U cable, and has an impedance of 50 ohms. (It looks similar to the 75-ohm thin coaxial cable used in television installations, but the television cable will not work in a network.)
Page 13 NETWORKS DETAIL Computer connections For twisted-pair LANs: A desktop computer connects to a twisted-pair LAN through a network interface card (NIC) that resides in a slot in the computer, or through a similar interface built in to the computer itself. The RJ-45 plug of the network cable plugs into an RJ-45 jack on the card or in the computer.
Page 15: Wireless Lans
NETWORKS Wireless LANs In a wireless LAN, information travels through the air in radio- frequency signals instead of through wires. This makes wireless LANs very flexible, and setup and reconfiguration are very easy. Communication speeds on wireless LANs, however, tend to be slower than on wired LANs, and it generally takes more work to make a wireless LAN as secure as a...

Page 17: Infrastructure Mode
NETWORKS DETAIL Infrastructure mode Terminology: Infrastructure mode is referred to as a "basic service set" (BSS). It's topology is sometimes called a "star topology", and it may also be called "enterprise mode" because it is the preferred topology for large networks. On a network of Apple Macintosh computers, it may be called an "Airport network".
Page 18: Ad-Hoc Mode
NETWORKS DETAIL Ad hoc mode Terminology: Infrastructure mode is referred to as an "independent basic service set" (IBSS). It is sometimes called "peer-to-peer mode". On a network of Apple Macintosh computers, it may be called "computer-to-computer mode". Topology: In ad hoc mode the wireless devices on a network communicate directly with each other, and access points are not...
Page 19 NETWORKS DETAIL Standalone peripherals Not all wireless connections are network connections. Though the distinctions may often be somewhat blurry, some wireless technologies -- such as the Bluetooth technology that is becoming popular in mobile phones and handheld computers -- are more about connecting a computing device to a peripheral, rather than connecting computers and other devices in a network.
Page 20: Computer Connections
NETWORKS DETAIL Computer connections Connections at the computer for wireless networking connections are simpler than wired ones just because there are no wires to connect. Wireless connections are most common in portable computers. Increasingly, notebook computers come with built-in wireless networking. For notebook computers that don't have built-in networking, you can plug a wireless networking...
Page 21 NETWORKS Mixed LANs Mixed LANs combine wired and wireless LANs, taking advantage of the strong points of each. For example, a mixed LAN can provide the flexible connections of wireless with the high overall throughput of a wired LAN. Such an arrangement makes it particularly easy for mobile workers to connect their...
Page 22 NETWORKS L is for Local The "local" in "local area network" means that the network is in a single location. A LAN can be small enough to serve a home office or a small business, or it can be large enough to serve a school, a hospital, or a substantial business or public office.
Page 23 NETWORKS Addresses Each device on the network has a unique address. This allows you to communicate with a specific computer (or other device, such as a printer). That way, your e- mail doesn't go to everybody, and your print job doesn't get printed simultaneously on all printers on the network.
Page 24: Wireless Security
NETWORKS Wireless security Wireless networks are inherently less secure than wired ones. In a wired environment an intruder needs to gain physical access to your network wiring to break into your network; in a wireless environment, he just needs to be in range of the radio waves that carry the network traffic.

Page 29 NETWORK PRINTING Why use network printers? Using network printers lets you meet your computer users' printing needs more efficiently. By sharing printers among several users, you reduce the number of printers you need. This approach saves money -- there's less equipment to buy saves space -- users don't need to make space for a printer...
Page 30 NETWORK PRINTING Why use a print server? A print server provides your printer with connection to the network. You could get the same connection using a computer -- your network server -- but it would cost more and be more complex.
Page 31: Hardware Connections
NETWORK PRINTING Hardware connections Print servers can be internal or external devices. Which one you choose depends on your printer. Internal print servers -- These are special-purpose cards or modules that plug into the built-in input/output slot in the back of some printers. The slot provides the data and power connections for the print server, and the network cable plugs into...
Page 32 both internal and external models. Their connections are similar to the those of wired print servers, except that there is no network cable connection. (An antenna in the print server makes the radio-frequency connection to the wireless network.) The connection to the printer, whether by plugging the print server into the printer's input/output slot or connecting a...
Page 33: Peer-To-Peer Topology
NETWORK PRINTING Peer-to-peer topology There are two standard layouts for network printing using a print server. The first is the peer- to-peer topology, in which a computer sends print jobs directly to the printer. In peer-to-peer printing, each computer manages the print jobs that it generates.
Page 34 infrastructure and ad hoc (peer- to-peer) wireless topologies.)
Page 35 NETWORK PRINTING Client/server topology The second standard layout for network printing is the client/server topology. In this topology, a computer sends its print jobs to a network server, and the server sends the print jobs to the printer. In client/server printing, the network server manages the print jobs from several computers (the clients).
Page 37: Printer Drivers
NETWORK PRINTING Printer drivers The printer driver is the last major component to consider in network printing. This driver is system software that converts a document in your computer to a form that makes sense for the printer. When you print from an application on your computer, it is the printer driver that converts the layout on your screen to the...

If you are using the network printer installer that resides on the printer's CD, the operation may be slightly different from what we describe here.
Page 44 In many cases this is the same driver that is used for a direct (non-networked) printer connection, and you can probably find the driver on the CD that came with the printer. (In fact, some printers come with the network installer program on the printer CD.

Page 48: Tips On Getting Started
Tips on Getting Started Background Installing a network printer is quite straightforward: First, you set up your hardware. This involves setting up your printer, and then setting up a print server to connect the printer to your network. Then, you run the network printing software to install the printer on your computer. If you have purchased your printer and print server separately, you probably have two sets of documentation and two installation CDs -- which do you use? The section below on Which CD do I use?
Page 49 HP LaserJet 2200 HP LaserJet 3300 series HP LaserJet 4100 series HP LaserJet 9000 HP LaserJet 9000MFP HP Business Inkjet 2280 HP Color Inkjet cp1160 HP Deskjet 5550 HP Officejet D series No: Go to step 3. Yes: Use the printer CD. (It knows where to find the printer driver.) When prompted, select the network connection option.
Page 50 The best source of a driver for your printer is the Web, because that gives you the latest driver. (The drawback of getting your driver from the Web is that some drivers are quite large, and may take several minutes to download at modem speeds. We think it's worth spending the time.)
