A. SAQ
1. a. What hardware are needed to acces the internet? Hardware that are needed to acces internet are router and modem. b. What software are needed to acces the internet? Software that are needed to acces internet are browser and e-mail. Browser is used to find and look at information on the web and e-mail is used to send and receive massages over internet. 2. a. Define the terms LAN, WLAN and WAN? - LAN : Local Area Network - WLAN : Wireless Local Area Network - WAN : Wide Area Network

b.

Is the internet a LAN or a WAN? Internet is a WAN. 4. a. Which Network device can find the best route for a message ? A Router, it is differs with bridge, it is more intelligent. A Wireless router is often used to provide a connection between a network and the internet because of its ability to join together two unlike network ( one of the function) b. Which network device can connect dissimilar network ? Bridge , this is the device which allows two dissimilar network to send message from one to other. 5.

B. QUESTION
1. Look back at the section describing how Nabila and Rana set up a home office networking. Draw a diagram to show how the computers and other equipment might be connected. Are they using bus network or a star network? Answer : They use the bus network because all of computers connected to a cable. Bus network are cheap and also easy to install. Nabila and Rana use the bus network becase they didnt buy hub or switch. This is the diagram of bus network.

2. Find the examples of networks in your area. Your school is a good place to start as it may have a number of different networks. You might also consider network in shops and offices and also in peoples home if there is more than one computer in a house. a. What examples of networks that use cable of differen types as the medium data tranmision did you find ? b. What examples of networks that use wireless transmission of data did you find ? c. What were the differences in the networks that meant that the different types of transmission media (cable or wireless ) were used ? Answer : a. b. c. Bus network Wi- fi and bluetooth The deference between cable and wireless is Usually the networks with cable only can use in some place that have, but with wireless can use in all of place like bluetooth.

If we use network with cable we must to have extra hardware to allow the network to operate .

3. You have seen a number of ways to connect device to enable communication between them. Investigate the different uses for the different method of data transmission. Consider the characteristic of different applications for which each would be useful. Answer : A. Different uses for the different method of data transmission : 1) The difference of hub and switch Hub if we send message from 1 device, the message will sent to all device that connected to the hub, but Switch, if we send one message from one device, the message will sent only in one device too. 2) The difference of proxy server and router with router only: If use router only , will be many connection, that can make the internet connection slowly. If use router with proxy server, the internet connection from the user piggy back on a single connection to the internet B. For can be useful 1) Hub can be useful if the device that send message (computer/user) it have individually/ personality Switch be useful if we use it in many user that must know the same message that we make, it is good use in big office 2. Router be useful if the user one only ( in the home/ personality), if the user so many we must add proxy server for make the connection be single. 5. If your school has an intranet , why does it have one? If it does not, discuss wheter or not your school would benefit from one. In either case, describe what it can be used for by : a. Teachers b. Students Answer : School has intranet because the intranet can access information for the WAN is via a web Browser . It already can reach all of the school area in each building in the school, and all can connected in one server (the school). Also the price for pay the data transmission will be more chip a. For the teacher : Teachers use the WAN to send messages to students about work and also about clubs and societies. The teacher in charge of the hockey team can send an email to all the players, marked urgent, telling team that the game this evening is

cancelled. The science teacher can make information available to students in the form of web pages either from the Internet or created especially for the school WAN b. For the students : Students have access to various parts of the WAN. It includes an email service for teachers and for students. Students often use it for handing in homework which has been done on computer using resources made available on the WAN.
