V. Introduction
People who aspire to start a business need to explore the economic,

cultural, and social conditions prevailing in an area. Needs and wants of the
people in a certain area that are not met may be considered as business
opportunities. Identifying the needs of the community, its resources, available
raw materials, skills, and appropriate technology can help a new entrepreneur in
seizing a business opportunity.
6
To be successful in any kind of business venture, potential entrepreneurs
should always look closely at the environment and market. They should always
be watchful on the existing opportunities and constraints. The opportunities in
the business environment are those factors that provide possibilities for a
business to expand and make more profits. Constraints, on the other hand, are
those factors that limit the business to grow, hence reduce the chance of
generating profit. One of the best ways to evaluate the opportunities and
constraints is to conduct Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats
(SWOT) Analysis.

What to TRANSFER
Guide the learners in creating their own Ethernet cable by stating the
general directions, materials and tools needed and by discussing the
procedures for the said activity.
Inform the learners about the rubrics to be used in order to rate their
performance (rubrics is on page 90).
Task: Create your own Ethernet Cable

Directions: Prepare the following tools and materials in fabricating your own
cross over and straightthrough cables.
Materials:
1) 6 meters Ethernet Cable Category 5e or Cat5e- standard wire for
cabling;
2) RJ45 crimpable connectors for Cat5e;
Tools:
3) RJ45 Crimping tool;
4) Wire cutter, stripper or pliers; and
5) Ethernet cable Tester / LAN Tester
Take Note: Be careful when using the tools.
You just need to follow the procedures cited in this module and apply
the safety precautions to avoid injury or any unwanted incident. You will be
given 30 minutes to complete the task. You will be rated according to the
performance rubric.
Procedures:
1. Cut into the plastic sheath 1 inch from the end of the cut cable. The
crimping tool has a razor blade that will do the trick with practice.
2. Unwind and pair the similar colors.
3. Pinch the wires between your fingers and straighten them out as
shown. The color order is important to get correct.
4. Use scissors to make a straight cut across the wires 1/2 Inch from the
cut sleeve to the end of the wires.
5. Push the wires into the connector. Note the position of the blue plastic
shielding. Also note how the wires go all the way to the end.
6. A view from the top. All the wires are all the way in. There are no short
35
wires.
7. Crimping The Cable carefully place the connector into the Ethernet
Crimper and cinch down on the handles tightly. The copper splicing
tabs on the connector will pierce into each of the eight wires. There is
also a locking tab that holds the blue plastic sleeve in place for a tight
compression fit. When you remove the cable from the crimper, that end
is ready to use.
8. For a standard "Straight Through" cable, repeat all steps and wire color
order on the other end of cable. For a cross-over cable, the other end
will have a different color order as shown by the crossover picture
above.
9. Make sure to test the cables before installing them. An inexpensive
Ethernet cable tester does this quite well.

Go to any search engine and type network diagnostic tool.
After downloading the application, run the setup file of the program and
93
install it into your computer.
If the program was already installed, run the application. Take note of the
diagnosis. Do some action if there are problems or errors encountered.
Testing Network Connection with Ping Symptoms:
Guide the students in doing the activity on pages 297-299.

Demonstrate the Ping Command
wants to test the network using Ping

wants to test the latency of the network
1. Open the Command Prompt or Terminal. Every operating system has

a command line interface that will allow you to run the Ping command.
The Ping command operates virtually identically on all systems.
o If using Windows, open the Command Prompt. Click the Start
button and enter "cmd" into the Search field. Windows 8 users can
type "cmd" while on the Start screen. Press Enter to launch the
Command Prompt.
2. Type ping followed by an IP address or a website address then press

Enter key to execute the command. Here is a brief explanation of
commonly used ping commands:
o ping 127.0.0.1 (This is a "loopback ping" - your computer trying to talk
to itself. If the loopback step fails, it might be because the TCP drivers
are corrupted, the network adapter might not be working, or another
service is interfering with IP.)
o ping <IP address> (This will ping the IP address of a device like a local
computer, remote server or any client that receives an IP address to
verify that it is reachable and that you can communicate with it
properly.) Example: ping 192.168.1.1 (this is the default IP address of
NETGEAR routers)
o ping<website address> (This command will test for the Internet
connectivity and DNS functionality.) Example: ping www.netgear.com,
ping google.com
Students will work the activity on pages 302-303.

a DSL filter on the phone line.)
Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the local area network (LAN)
port on the device, and then plug the other end into the networking port
of the computer that you want to connect to the Internet. The LAN port
should be labeled "LAN." (If you are connecting wirelessly, skip this
step.)
Start (or restart) the computer.
Open the Connect to the Internet wizard by clicking the Start button
, clicking Control Panel, clickNetwork and Internet, clickNetwork
and Sharing Center, clickSet up a connection or network, and then
clickConnect to the Internet.
