1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
1 - Analysis for the Design of a Local Area Network Topology: This is simply dis
play the communication system on a network should use the concept of topology, o
r physical structure of the network. The network topologies described physically
and also give us information about the access method used (Ethernet, Token Ring
, etc.).. Among the known topologies have. Bus: A bus network, each node monitor
s the line activity. The messages are detected by all nodes, but will only be ac
cepted by the node or nodes to the target audience. Like a bus network is based
on a "highway" common data, a failed node simply stops communicating, that does
not interrupt the operation, as may occur in a ring network
Ring: Integrates the network in a ring or circle. This type of network is of lit
tle use because it depends only on the main fault if all stations suffer. Star:
A star network consists of multiple nodes connected to a central computer (HUB)
in a star-shaped configuration. The messages of each individual node go directly
to the central computer, which determined where appropriate, to where to route
them s easy to install and if any of the facilities other faults will not be aff
ected since it has a limitation. Possible problems due to a network misconfigura
tion in the equipment set. Loss of Data: Data loss is caused by a virus or other
occurrence, the most common are poor handling by the user or unscrupulous perso
ns who access the system or via the Internet, these incidents can be avoided so
that the workstations are installed codes so that only authorized personnel have
access, Internet as there are many software on the market better known as fire
walls, used to stop the intruders. Continuing decline of the Red: The continuous
fall in a network is in most cases a bad connection to Server> Hub or the conne
ction to the ISP. In the information processing is very slow: When the processin
g of information in a network is very slow we have to take into account the type
of equipment we chose, (Server, cables, hubs, Workstations and others, because
if we a wrong decision will lose both time and money. 2 - Protocols using TCP /
IP: This refers to the two protocols that work together to transmit data: the Tr
ansmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP). When you send info
rmation through an intranet, data is fragmented into small packages. The package
s arrive at their destination, they become merged into its original form. The Tr
ansmission Control Protocol divides the data into packets and gathers when recei
ved. The Internet Protocol handles the routing of data and ensures that is sent
to the exact destination.
Standard EIA / TIA 568: ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A (Building Telecommunications Wiring C
ommercial) This standard defines a generic telecommunications wiring for commerc
ial buildings that can withstand an environment of multiple products and supplie
rs. The purpose of this standard is to enable the design and installation of tel
ecommunications cabling had little information about telecommunications products
will be installed later. The installation of wiring systems during the installa
tion process and / or remodeling are significantly cheaper and involve less disr
uption after the building is occupied. The purpose of this rule is to allow the
planning and installation of wiring for commercial buildings with very little kn
owledge of telecommunications products to be installed later. The installation o
f wiring systems during construction or renovation of buildings is significantly
less costly and disruptive than when the building is occupied. Scope The standa
rd EIA / TIA 568A specific minimum requirements for the wiring of commercial off
ice facilities. Please be advised:
â ¢ â ¢ â ¢ â ¢
The topology The maximum cable distance performance components and connectors Sh

Is intended to support telecommunications cabling specified various types of bui
ldings and user applications.€It is assumed that the buildings have the followi
ng characteristics:
â ¢ â ¢ â ¢
A distance between them of up to 3 km A office space to 1,000,000 m2 A populatio
n of up to 50,000 individual users
Applications that use the telecommunications cabling systems include, but are no
t limited to:

prior knowledge that the products to be connected. Benefits: Flexibility, Techno
logy Ensures compatibility, reduces Fallas, moves, adds and changes quick
3. - A platform to use. Microsoft Windows XP:
Why use Windows XP: It's simple, compatibility between applications and hardware
. Operating System Reliability and Security, including the latest updates to sol
ve security problems detected in Windows XP
3 - Identification of equipment used on a Local Area Network. Workstation: An el
ectronic device capable of receiving a set of instructions and executing them by
performing calculations on numerical data or by compiling and correlating other
information. These allow users to exchange information quickly and in some case
s, share a workload. Usually we focus on the more expensive computers since it h
as the latest technology, but for the design of a Local Area Network only need a
few stations that meet the requirements demanded, be careful not to make mistak
es because if we give to a computer failure does not meet the requirements will
lose time and money.
Switch or (HUB): This is the device responsible for managing the distribution of
the information server (HOST), the Workstation and / or vice versa. Computers N
etwork receiver sends the address and data to the hub, which connects directly s
ending and receiving computers. Let us be careful when choosing a type of hub (H
UB), we say this because it is classified into three categories. Only Hub will b
e used depending on the workstations that require it. Workgroup Switch: A Switch
for Workgroup connects a group of teams within their immediate environment. Int
ermediate switches: It is typically in the communications closet on each floor.
Which connect hubs working group. (They may be optional) Switch Corporate: Repre
sents the central connection point for end systems connected intermediate hubs.
(Third Generation Concentrators). MODEM: Equipment used for the communication of
computers through analog lines for data transmission. The modem converts the di
gital signals from other analog transmitter that can be sent by phone. When the
signal reaches its destination, another modem it reconstructs the original digit
al signal, which process is responsible for the receiving computer. NOTE: The Fa
x Modem will use it only for the server (HOST). Commonly normally use a 56K Mode
m. Ethernet Cards (Red): Red card is one that takes care of workstations interco
nnected with the hub and also with the server (HOST). Other: Here you will find
other devices on the network connectors RJ45 coupler is used to attach cables to
connect a cable or appropriate in this case recommends RJ45 connectors.
Wiring: It is the means used to transmit the information in the network, ie the
means to interconnect and workstations. For wiring is twisted pair cable recomme
nded level No. 5 unshielded.
Nexxt RJ45 Crimping Tool or (punches):
4 - Steps for Building the Network: The steps to be followed for the constructio
n of the Network are listed here. Network Design: Draw a diagram of the home or
office where each computer and printer. Or, you can create a table showing the h
ardware is in each team. Determine the type of hardware is each team should use
established teams in the company or office:
Next to each computer, note the hardware such as modems and network adapters,€t
hat each team. Choose the server (Host) determined to connect to workstations: C
hoose the host computer for Internet Connection Sharing. Determine the type of a
dopters of network, you need for your home or office network: Determine the type
of network adapters you need for your home network or small office. Make a list
of hardware you need to buy. This includes modems, network adapters, hubs and c
ables: Make a list of hardware you need to buy. This includes modems, network ad
apters, hubs and cables. Measuring the space between Workstation and Server: Thi
s space will measure the distance between the Workstation and Server (HOST), a M
etro, this is done to avoid exceeding the meters set for such construction . Pla
stic gutters Placement: For the placement of plastic gutters simply take the mea
sures taken, will cut the gutters, will lay the Ramplús in the wall and screw t
he Gutters Plastic Strip Screws with substance.
Wiring Measurement: In this part arem the same procedure as with the Gutters, Wi
ring We will take measures to prevent excess cable between Workstation loa. Conn
ecting the cables to the connectors: The connection to the connectors need: The
Connecting Cable, RJ45 connectors and a scallop. The first step will take place
at the cable end of the punches, then proceed to tear (peel), the next step will
be cut in a straight line is everyone should be even, because if this does not
happen we will
a bad connection and some contacts are longer than others. Well we will continue
to enter the first pair of wires as "We will make this? First, we examine the l
egislation and that this is essential for the proper functioning of the Network
Connection Policy of Rules 568 A Cables
Level 5 twisted pair cable shielded RJ - 45
Level 5 twisted pair cable - unshielded

The following table shows you the different connections you can use, we will giv
e a Click Next.
This space will give you four options are: 1 - Connect to Internet 2 - Connect t
o the network at my place of work 3 - Setting up a home network or small office
4 - Configuring an Advanced Connection Only take the first option is Log Interne
t The next part is crucial because the number of options are of vital importance
, will give you three options are as follows. 1 - Choose a list of Internet Serv
ice Providers 2 - Set up my connection manually 3 - Use the CD I have of an Inte
rnet service provider (ISP). Remember that this is according to the service you
have available.
After having made the decision to give a Click Next to continue with the connect
ion.
Then you see the following table give a Click Finish to complete installation. S

Within this screen you will have the IP address, subnet mask and default Gateway
. Within these options the following arem.
WARNING: The IP address change one digit more example for each station. In the f
irst season we will have the IP. 168.192.0.2, Why?, Is very simple as the first
digit (1) belongs to the Server (Host) Well as we move from one station will hav
e to add more digits as mentioned earlier. If the first station was the second s
tation will be 168.192.0.2 168.192.0.3 and so on. Moreover, the Subnet Mask will
always be 255.255.0.0 for all Seasons. With respect to the gateway will always
be 168.192.0.1, why? It is simply the gateway will be the same as the Protocol o
r IP is 192.168.0.1 Server is the code that allows us to access the Internet thr
ough the server.
Connecting Wiring to Switch: This is a very simple, it is the penultimate step i
n putting the Net We will walk Cables and their respective measured and shielded
RJ45 connectors. The first step is to take the cable connected to the hub serve
r and the first port then install all the remaining equipment in the required or
der. 8-Port Switch
Checking the Connection: The first step will be to turn on all the stations Prin
ters and other equipment installed on the network, ensure that the server is con
nected to the Internet and the hub is turned on and running, another way to tell
if stations are connected is server is opening the Control Panel, double clicki
ng on the Network Connections icon Once there located on the left side a small w
indow called Other Sites, you will be a click on the name you gave to your netwo
rk another screen in the upper left of the screen, there'll click on View Networ
k Computers By following these simple steps you will have a full view of all equ
ipment connected to the network, from there you can monitor and access them. 5 -
How to set Internet connection: This step is very simple because only we have t
o locate the Internet Explorer icon on the Start Button on Desktop Taskbar, or t
he same desktop.
CONCLUSION
With the evolution suffers every day computer systems, ease of use and countless
features that it offers, your can say that also has increased the number of use
rs working with computers, but not before he noted the Internet, a communication
route effective and efficient€which binds us all through a computer. Using the
Local Area Network in a private internal structure and organization, then is co
nstructed using the TCP / IP. Allows users to work in a simple and effective, wh
ile providing certainty as to the information and that is protected by firewall:
hardware and software combinations that only allows certain people access it fo
r specific purposes. Moreover, the Intranet allows us to work together on projec
ts, share information, conduct visual conferences and establish safe procedures
for production work.
