  2. Introduction to Networking

  3. Networking – a Concept… • Networking– is a concept that not only refers to ICT but also to life in general. • An analogy that can be used is that of you and your circle of friends. • The need for networking becomes apparent when information or resources need to be shared.

  4. What is a network?… • In simple terms – an ICT network allows for the sharing of information and resources, using computer systems, in a defined geographical area. • Four main network types can be defined depending on the size of the area: • PAN (Personal Area Network) e.g. Bluetooth - home • LAN (Local Area Network) e.g. RJ45/Fibre – Office • MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) e.g. ISDN - Branches • WAN (Wide Area Network) e.g. 3G, ADSL - Internet

  10. Introduction to Media Conversion Technology Do You Know ? ? ? What % of all network equipment is purchased as an addition to an existing network What % of all fiber optic cable is purchased as an addition to an existing network

  11. Introduction to Media Conversion Technology • 85%of all new network components are purchased as an addition to an existing network • 95%of all fiber cable is purchased as an addition to an existing network What’s the Significance ? ? ?

  12. Introduction to Media Conversion Technology What’s the Significance ? ? ? Copper cable & fiber cable will coexist in a computer network

  13. What is Media Conversion Technology Media Converter • Media: • A flexible cable made up of either metal or glass wire or group of wires, insulated with a material such as plastic or rubber, used as the medium to transport data communication signals in a computer network • Converter: • A device in a computer network that changes one set of codes, modes, sequences, interfaces, impulses, or frequencies into a different set

  14. What is Media Conversion Technology A Transition Networks media converter provides a link between different media types, which operates transparently to the network
