Implementation of computerized networking Environment...

Alpha System should go for implement a local area network (LAN).

01/06/2012

Alpha System should use expended Star topology. Because it is

Easy to install and wire. No disruptions to the network when connecting or removing devices. Easy to detect faults and to remove parts. Point-to-point wiring for individual segments. Supported by several hardware and software venders.

And it has combine characteristics of linear bus and star topologies. It consists of groups of star-configured workstations connected to a linear bus backbone cable. The expanded stat topology will allow them expansion of an existing network, and enable to configure a network to meet their needs. In the case of cable failure only single system effects other systems do not disturbed.

Implementation of computerized networking Environment... List of computer networking devices required:

Gateway: Device sitting at a network node for interfacing with another network that uses different protocols. Router: A specialized network device that determines the next network point to which it can forward a data packet towards the destination of the packet. Unlike a gateway, it cannot interface different protocols. Works on OSI layer 3. Switch: a device that allocates traffic from one network segment to certain lines (intended destination(s)) which connect the segment to another network segment. So unlike a hub a switch splits the network traffic and sends it to different destinations rather than to all systems on the network. Works on OSI layer 2. Hub: Connects multiple Ethernet segments together making them act as a single segment. When using a hub, every attached device shares the same broadcast domain and the same collision domain. Therefore, only one computer connected to the hub is able to transmit at a time. Depending on the network topology, the hub provides a basic level 1 OSI model connection among the network objects (workstations, servers, etc.). It provides bandwidth which is shared among all the objects, compared to switches, which provide a dedicated connection between individual nodes. Works on OSI layer 1. Repeater: Device to amplify or regenerate digital signals received while sending them from one part of a network into another. Works on OSI layer 1. Modem: Device that modulates an analog "carrier" signal (such as sound), to encode digital information, and that also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information, as a computer communicating with another computer over the telephone network. Cable: Depending upon the users financial strength various types of wires are i.e twisted pair cable, fiber optic cable, coaxial cable. Cable type. The most common cable is unshielded twisted pair, which is most often used with star topologies.

Fiber can run hundreds of feet, without having a signal boost with no security issue, and interference like wireless have. Fiber cables are slight expensive. It would be better solution.
