Reviewing The Fire Department Network Topology Information Technology Essay

Published: November 30, 2015 Words: 4120

Fire department covers an area of 70 square kilometers around of head quarters. This fire department needs both cable and wireless network. Ethernet is the most common type of connection computers use in a local area network. Two widely-use form of Ethernet are 10BaseT and 100BaseT. Network topologies define the physical layout of a network environment. Network topology involves cabling, client computers, routers and hubs.

Topology refers the network layout and how different nodes in a network are connected to each other and they communicate is determined by the network's topology. Topologies are base on logical topology and physical topologies

A) Explain how the topologies operate.

We have two options.

1. Cable network. Cable network have four principle topologies.

A) Bus topology: Ethernet system use bus topology. All computer and device connect in a central cable. Bus topology is inexpensive, easily install and maintain for small network. Real life bus topology-

Figure: Bus topology.

Start network: All computers are connecting to center switch and hub. When one computer sends to another computer data or information through central device

Figure: Start topology.

2. Wireless network: Wireless Networks focused on networking and user aspects. Network architecture for personal communications systems, wireless LANs, radio, tactical.

1. Ad.hoc: A wireless computer network, ad-hoc mode is a method for wireless devices to communicate with each other. Ad-hoc mode allows communicating wireless device within a fixed range without central access points.

Figure: Ad.hoc topology.

2. Infrastructure: wireless Infrastructure mode networking bridges a wireless network to a wired Ethernet network. Infrastructure modes have a central device to communication data in a central point. Access point require for infrastructure mode wireless networking.

Figure: Infrastructure topology.

B) Explain the advantage and disadvantage of each medium.

Cable network: Most popular cables are twist pair, fiber optic.

Advantage of Twist pair cable:

1. Usually higher transmission speeds.

2. Longer distance.

3. It is very hard to taps it.

Disadvantage of twist pair cable:

1. Twist pair cable require peer to peer connection.

2. Twist pair cable incompatible if I can talking to more then 1 computer by going thought a switch or hub.

Advantage Fiber optic cable:

1. High bandwidth and long terminal distance.

2. Fiber optic cable is more secure because highly resistant to tapping.

3. Faster data transfer.

Disadvantage fiber optic cable:

1. Fiber optic cable is expensive.

2. High optical power can destroy the cable, known as fiber use.

Advantage of 802.11b:

1. Its frequency is 5.15 GHz to 5.35 GHz

2. Support bandwidth up to 54 Mbps.

3. Occurs less entreasure.

Disadvantage of 802.11b:

1. Doesn't support encryption methods.

2. Setup is most expensive.

3. Simple blocked.

c) Provide a recommendation for which topology and medium to use including reasons for the recommendation.

Infrastructure topology select for this recommendation and 802.11b as a medium. Because Infrastructure network can easily install, enable wireless roaming for office workers, centralize WLAN management. I will use infrastructure mode of Wi-Fi technology because in the scenario there is written that it have to cover 70 square kilometers. The medium of the network 802.11b is more secure data transfer and speed up to 54Mbps.

Task2

Introduction:

Fire department covers an area of 70 square kilometers and all branches connect to the head quarter. The fire department has three watches and each on duty on eight hours. This fire department need two ways internet connection if one connect fail then backup line provide internet connection.

a) Describe the internet service that may be required.

Virtual private network (VPN): Newtown fire department covers an area of 70 square. All branches require internet connection but they require high secure and more reliable connect. We can connect all branch by private cable line .Actually it is impossible to manage this network. So I choose virtual private network for connecting main branch to other branch. A virtual private network is public telecommunications networks to conduct private data communications use to public network. Most VPN implementations use the Internet as the public communications.

VPN client and VPN server typically use three reasons:

1. To support remove access to an internet

2. To support connections between multiple intranets within the same organization.

3. To connect networks between two organizations, forming an extranet.

Advantage of virtual private network:

1. VPN is the low cost need to support network technology to access remove computer.

2. VPN establishes long distance and secure internet connection using public network.

3. Reduce long distance telephone charge.

B) Explain the connection speeds that are suitable for these requirements.

According to the scenario of assignment, fire department need to vital communication. Fire department need large bandwidth to communicate one branch to another branch.1MB bandwidth require for VPN internet connection that are suitable for these virtual private network. I choose 1 MB bandwidth because head office connects to other branch office and head office cover an area of 70 square kilometers.

c) Fine examples of internet service provider (ISPs) that can meet these requirements.

Bangladesh telecommunication regulation commission (BTRL), legal licensing requirements for operating frequencies and cost operating the system including licensing costs, equipment costs in our country.

A) How each method words (frequencies, full/half duplex).

Frequencies: Number of waves that pass a fixed point per unit time and the number of cycles undergone in unit time by a body in periodic motion. Here one label attached to a product to response in a specific frequency that is continued over the transmitter. Then the label answers the signal and checks the criterion of specific frequency.

I can set this number-of-measurement-per-second limitation using a drop-down combo box "Sampling Frequency" (here it shows 11 kHz) Each measurement is converted into an 8- or 16-bit number called a sample.

Full and half duplex: Half duplex is two people communicating on a CB radio use the same frequency; one person can talk at a time.

Example: walkie talkie.

Full duplex means that I use one frequency for talking and, separate frequency for listening. Both people can talk at a time

Example: cell phone.

b) Details of the legal requirements for operating the system in your country (e.g. allocation of frequencies, licensing requirement, etc).

Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulation Commission (BTRC) provides legal requirements for operating the system in our country. These requirement Ares-
