Access point: Is a network device that connects wired

Cabling: Is the cable that will occupy the physical

communication equipment to form a wireless network that

interconnects mobile or wireless cards

network called UTP

Communication protocols: They are a set of rules

Bridge: It is a device interconnection of computer networks
operating in the layer 2 (data link layer) of the OSI model. This
connects two network segments by the passage of data from
one network to another, based on the physical address of the
destination of each package. A bridge connects two network
segments as a single network using the same network protocol
setting
To make the bridging or networking of more than 2 networks,
the switch is used

governing the transmission and reception of data over a

network

Connector RJ45: it is a physical interface commonly

used to connect computer networks with structured
cabling (categories 4, 5, 5e , 6 and 6a). It has eight pins
or electrical connections which are commonly used as
ends of twisted pair (UTP).

Crim: It is a tool that helps us to form a wiring harness

Hub: A Hub is a computer network that connects

each other computers or devices relaying data
packets from any of them to all

Gateway: a device is often a computer, which allows to

interconnect networks with different architectures and
protocols at all levels of communication. Its purpose is to
translate information protocol used in a network protocol
used on the network the destination.
The IP address of a gateway (or gate ' link) often looks
like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 and uses some
predefined ranges, 127 xxx 10 xxx 172 xxx xxx 192,
which include or are reserved for networks local, also
should be noted that equipment matching necessarily the
role of gateway on a network, you must have two network
cards.

Modem: It is a device used to modulate and

demodulate a signal called carrier by another entry
called modulating signal. The modulating signal is
the information that is prepared for transmission
(modem prepares the information to be
transmitted, but does not perform transmission)

Network Interface Card: They are a set of rules

governing the transmission and reception of data over a
network.

Network operating system: It is the program that

allows control of the network and resides on the server.

Repeater: It is an electronic device that receives a weak

or low level signal and retransmits it to a power level or
higher, so that they can cover longer distances without
degradation or with a tolerable degradation

Router: It is a general purpose device designed to

segment the network, with the idea of limiting
broadcast traffic and provide security, control and
redundancy between individual domains
broadcast, it can also serve firewall and affordable
access to a WAN. It operates at Layer 3 of the OSI
model and has more facilities than a software
switch. When operating in a higher layer of the
switch, the router distinguishes between different
network protocols, such as IP, IPX, AppleTalk or
DEC net.

work stations:
Server: It is the main processing element contains
the network operating system and manages all
processes within it

Switch: It is an electronic device that receives a

weak or low level signal and retransmits it to a
power level or higher, so that they can cover longer
distances without degradation or with a tolerable
degradation.
The switches are used when you want to connect
multiple networks, merging them into one. As the
bridges, because they function as a filter in the
network, improve performance and safety of the
lans.

sometimes called nodes , can be personal

computers or any terminal connected to the
network
