preliminary

The use of computers personal and group will facilitate the achievement of a goal,
whether in communications, finance and other fields .. Bringing knowledge in the field of
computer. Therefore, efforts to increase productivity efficiently and effectively
performed by maximizing the use of computer networks. Thus, the book of knowledge
about computer networks is needed.
In this case, there are many sources of knowledge as well as books. There are many
books that discussed the wired and wireless network connections. In this case we have to
know the contents of the book, so that we know how to understanding the book is called
the Book Critical Report. In Critical Book this Report will only discuss about wired and
wireless network connections.

Summary

A. Definition of the Kompter Network

Computer net is a collection of computers. This means that the computer is more than one
fruit that is separated but can be interconnected in carrying out a task. A group of computers
work autonomously. This means that you can only exchange in a certain area or member.
Making this computer network uses communication protocols through communication media
that share information, programs, shared use of hardware such as printers, hard disks, and so
on. Computer networks can also be referred to as a collection of a number of communication
terminals located in various locations consisting of one or more computers connected to each
other as described above.

B. History of Computer Network Systems

The history of computer networks globally dates back to 1969, when the American
Department of Defense formed the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
Which aims to conduct research on how to connect multiple computers so that they become
organic networks. The research program was later called the ARPANET (Advance Research
Project Agency Network). In 1970 more than 10 computers were successfully connected to
one another, communicating with each other, and forming a network. In 1970 it was also after
the workload increased and the price of computer equipment began to be expensive, then the
Distributed Processing process was used. In the process of Distributed Processing, several
host computers do a large job in parallel to serve terminals that are connected in series in
each host computer. In this distribution process, it is absolutely necessary to collaborate
between Telecommunications and computer Technology. In 1972, Roy Tomlinson succeeded

1
in perfecting the e-mail program he had done a year ago for the ARPANET. Because the
program is so easy to use, the program immediately became popular. This year the at (@)
icon is introduced as an important symbol that shows "at" or "on". In 1973, the ARPANET
network began to be developed out of America. And Computer University College in London
was the first computer to use the ARPANET network. This year also two computer expert
scientists namely Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn presented a more idea, which is a forerunner or
beginning of the International Network (Internet). This idea was presented for the first time at
Sussex University. Another historic day was March 26, 1976, when the Queen of England
successfully sent e-mails from the Royal Signal and Radar Establishment in Malvern. a year
later more than 100 computers connected to the ARPANET network formed a network or
network. Tom Truscott, Jim Ellis and Steve Bellovin, created a newsgroup called the
USENET (User Network) in 1979. In 1981, France Telecom created a new thing by
launching the first television telephone, where people could communicate and connect with
video links. As computers are connected, an official protocol is needed that can be recognized
and accepted by all networks. For this reason, in 1982 a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
was formed, or what was more ingested was the Internet Protocol (IP) that we know until
now. To homogenize existing computer network addresses, the 1984 Domain Naming
System (DNS) was introduced. The computer network continues to grow, and Jarrko
Oikarinen, a Finnish national, created Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which allows two or more
people to be able to interact or communicate directly with sending messages (chatting). Mid
1990 was the most historic year, where Tim Berners Lee designed an editor and explorer
program that could explore one computer with another by forming a network. This program
is called Waring Wera Wanua or the World Wide Web.
C. Classification of Computer Networks
The following is the classification of Computer networks.
1. Based on Transmission Technology From Transmission Technology, it is still divided into
2 groups, namely:
a. Broadcasting Network Having a single communication channel that is used jointly by all
computers throughout the network. Small messages called Packages, sent by one computer
and received by another computer. In the package there are some information such as
shipping address, recipient address, package size, and contents of the package. There are no
types of operations:
Ø One resource to one destination, where the sender is intended for only one particular
computer.
Ø Broadcasting, packages are sent to all existing destinations
Ø Multicasting. Packages are sent to a subset of computers.
b. Point to Point
Consists of several individual pair connections from machines. To go from source to
destination, a packet on this type of network may have to go through one or more
intermediate machines. Often you have to go through many routes that may be different
distances. Therefore, routing algorithms play an important role on the point-to-point network.

2. Based on Geographic Computer Networks are divided into Local Area Networks (LAN),
Metropolitan Area Networks or Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and Wide Area
Networks (WAN), Wireless Networks (Wireless / Wi-Fi) ), Internetwork.
a. LAN (Local Area Network)
LAN is a computer network that only covers small areas, such as campuses, offices, schools
(laboratories), etc. Most of these LANs are based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet uses a switch
device that has a data transfer speed of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit / s. With the rapid development

2
of technology, Ethernet technology has now developed into 802.11b technology or often
called Wi-fi. Places that provide LAN or Wi-Fi networks are commonly called Hotspots.
b. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
MAN network is a large LAN network that uses the same technology as LAN. MAN is
implemented by a company as a public facility, but is used by individuals and organizations.
The level of error and delay in the MAN network is higher than the LAN network, therefore
MAN connects various types of LANs with different topologies. MAN only uses one or two
cables and does not have a switching element, which functions to arrange packets through the
output cable. MAN is separated from special categories because there is a standardization of
IEEE for MAN, namely DQDB (Distributed Queue Dual Bus) or better known as 802.6
c. WAN (Wide Area Network)
WAN networks are networks that cover a wider area, for example computer networks
between regions, between countries, and between continents. This WAN network not only
consists of transmission media but also a number of interconnected routers. WAN is usually
used by companies that have many branches in various places. WAN generally uses
underwater satellite and cable. WAN consists of a collection of machines aimed at running
user / user programs (applications).
d. Wireless Network (Wi-Fi)
Wireless networks (wireless networks) or more modernly called Wi-Fi is a local network that
uses radio waves as a transmission medium, no longer using cables to provide an internet
connection to all users in the surrounding area. The range is not as extensive as the example,
from a single room to the entire campus.
e. Internetwork
The internet is the parent of all networks throughout the world. Today the internet has
functioned as the heart of the information age. The internet is called the parent of all
networks because the word Internet is a computer network throughout the world that connects
smaller computer networks, such as education, commercial, military, individual networks,
etc.

3. Based on its function, there are two types of computer networks:

a. Client-server
Namely a computer network with a computer that is specifically dedicated as a server. A
service / service can be provided by a computer or more. An example is a domain like
www.detik.com which is served by many web server computers. Or you can also have many
services / services provided by one computer. An example is the jtk.polban.ac.id server which
is a computer with multi services, namely mail server, web server, file server, database server
and others.
b. Peer-to-peer
That is a computer network where each host can become a server and also become a client
simultaneously. For example in file sharing between computers on the Windows Network
Neighborhood Network there are 5 computers (we give the names A, B, C, D and E) that give
access rights to the files they have. At one time A accesses the share file from B named
data_nilai.xls and also gives file access to issue_uas.doc to C. When A accesses file from B
then A functions as client and when A gives file access to C then A functions as server. Both
functions are carried out simultaneously by A then a network like this is called peer to peer.

4. Based on the distribution of information sources / data

a. Centralized network
This network consists of client clients and servers where client computers function as
intermediaries to access sources of information / data originating from one computer server

3
b. Distributed network
Is a combination of several centralized networks so that there are several computer servers
that are interconnected with clients forming a particular network system.

5. Based on data transmission media

a. Wired Network
In this network, connecting a computer with another computer requires a network cable.
Network cable functions in sending information in the form of electrical signals between
network computers.
b. Wireless Network (WI-FI)
Is a network with a medium in the form of electromagnetic waves. This network does not
require a cable to connect between computers because it uses electromagnetic waves that will
send information signals between network computers.

Critical evaluation

Writing the material covered in both books are very different. In the first book of
the material covered on the tasks and functions of the network connection on a wired or
wireless which as we all know as our general insight that the network connection is to gain
access to computer programs or access the Internet. In the second book, the material covered
is the category and the benefits of using the wired network and other types of waves in
wireless networks. In the first book, there is an introduction to the material covered, but
written in the chapter on the title of magnitude, so be classified not have / no introduction to
the material. In the second book, there is an introduction to the material covered and made
detailed introduction to the material is divided into wired network connections and wireless
network connections.

On book 1, the material presented to taste (not complete), while the second book,
the material presented is included very complete. In the first book, the advantages are
attractive hardback book, and books of translations from abroad where everyone thinks it
would be very nice book to read. However kekuragannya, it turns out the book incomplete. In
the second book, the advantages are the book presents material in a language easily
understood so as to make the book easier to understand. The drawback is on the cover of a
less attractive to make people think the book is less interesting to read. Books are more easily
understood is the book to 2 for presenting the material very well and is already included in
the book are complete.

 After reading these two books, I can conclude that basically the order in accordance with
the material explanation of the explanation adanya.Mulai early, medium to akhir.Hanya just
my opinion, a better book is the second book because describes about the network and data
communications in depth .In ddengan compare 1 book, the book simply explains only briefly
without elaborating.

Recommendation

Hopefully with the task Critical Book this Report, can give us information about the
system network and data communications in particular on the subject of wired and wireless
Network Connection train students in criticizing the book.
