COMPANY PROFILE
The Siemon Company is a manufacturer and
designer of network cabling and coupling
devices.
It was founded in 1903 by Carl F. Siemon as
the Siemon Hard Rubber Company.
In 1906 they entered the new
telecommunications industry.
In the 1960s Siemon began shipping its
"66" connecting blocks to other customers,
serving the increasing demand for new
and better telecommunications.
The 1960s and '70s were rising times for
telecommunication expansion.
Currently, Siemon is one of the world's
largest networking and cabling
manufacturers, making Category 5e, 6,
and 7 cabling systems.
NETWORKING BASICS
A computer network is a group of
interconnected computers. Networks may
be classified according to a wide variety of
characteristics.
A computer network allows computers to
communicate with many other and to
share resources and information.
NETWORK COMPONENTS
File Server
Workstations
Network Interface Cards
Repeaters
Switches
Bridges
Routers
Hubs
FILE SERVER
A file server stands at the heart of most networks. It
is a very fast computer with a large amount of RAM
and storage space, along with a fast network
interface card. The file server controls the
communication of information between the nodes on
a network.
WORKSTATION
All of the user computers connected to a network
are called workstations. A typical workstation is a
computer that is configured with a network interface
card, networking software, and the appropriate
cables
NETWORK INTERFACE CARDS
Network card is a piece of computer hardware
designed to allow computers to communicate
over a computer network.
REPEATERS
A repeater is an electronic device that receives
a signal and retransmits it at a higher power
level, or to the other side of an obstruction, so
that the signal can cover longer distances
without degradation.
BRIDGES
A network bridge connects multiple network
segments at the data link layer (layer 2) of the
OSI model.
ROUTERS
A router is a networking device that forwards
packets between networks using information in
protocol headers and forwarding tables to
determine the best next router for each packet.
Routers work at the Network Layer of the OSI
model and the Internet Layer of TCP/IP. A router
translates information from one network to
another; it is similar to a super intelligent bridge.
HUBS
A network hub contains multiple ports.
When a packet arrives at one port, it is
copied unmodified to all ports of the hub
for transmission.
NETWORK CABLES
Cable is the medium through which information
usually moves from one network device to
another. There are several types of cable which
are commonly used with LANs:
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable
Coaxial Cable
Fiber Optic Cable
Cable Installation Guides
Wireless LANs
TYPES OF LAN CABLES
Straight Cable AND Crossover Cables:
ROLLOVER CABLES:
Rollover cable also known as Cisco console cable, is
a type of null-modem cable that is most commonly used
to connect a computer terminal to a router's console port.
This cable is typically flat (and has a light blue color) to
help distinguish it from other types of network cabling.
It gets the name rollover because the pin outs on one
end are reversed from the other, as if the wire had been
rolled over and you were viewing it from the other side.
This rollover cable is more commonly known as the Yost
cable.
CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Cut the cable to the length that you will need.
2. Remove all of the twists in the cables pairs.
3. Cat 6 cable has a center spine that needs to be removed. Pull
on the spine and fold the pairs back.
Then cut the spine as close to the cables end as possible.
4. Place the wires in the order.
5. Bring all of the wires together, until they touch.
6. The wires on a very sharp angle to make it easier to install the
load-bar.
7. Insert the load-bar on the wires one wire at a time.
8. Now make a perfectly straight cut.
9. Insert the connector onto the load bar assembly.
10. Use the Crimping tool to finalize it.
11. Repeat the procedure on the other end of the
cable using the same wiring diagram.
12. Test the cable using a high quality four pair
tester.
CONFIGURING LAN SETUP
