PROJECT OVERVIEW

2009-03-07T00:27:00.002-08:00

OVERVIEW

We were going to create a network design on one of the room on CICT building which is used by IT students. The room chosen by our group is IT7 located at the 3rd floor of the building. It is a room with a size of medium that hold 24 computers which is enough for every group in a section.

We will make the design of the network high performance. To achieve that, we will use a star network. The design will be a server and client network like any usual connection for control and maintenance.

OBJECTIVES

Our objective is to create a network on room IT7 which will be used by IT students and by the professor. We will make a design that can accommodate 24 client computers for students and 1 computer which serve as a server used by the professor.

HARDWARE AND REQUIREMENTS

We will use the following:

Server/Client
Switch
24 PC / workstation
CAT 5 UTP cable
RJ 45

INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENTS

In making this design, we ensure that we fairly divide every task for each of the members to have even or fair grade since this is a group project. The division of each task is given according to the knowledge and skills of every member.

Network Installation

2009-03-07T00:14:00.000-08:00

In order to have a better connection on the room we chose. We decide to use a Star Network which is very common when designing network connection on a room. Star Network consists of one central switch, hub or computer, which acts as a conduit to transmit messages on its simplest form. But on our design, we make a star network inside a star network.

-Advantages

Good performance
Easy to set up and to expand. Any non-centralized failure will have very little effect on the network, whereas on a ring network it would all fail with one fault

-Disadvantages

Expensive to install
Extra hardware required

Introduction

IT 7 is the designated room to be design. Our team uses and follows the two standards of the network cabling which is the straight through and cross-over. Based on the standards if were connecting PC-to-PC we are going to use the cross over. The topology that were using is the star topology, why star topology because star topology uses switches and it is the most appropriate to use in designing in a room. The best wires and connector to be use in this room is the CAT 5e UTP for the good performance, capacitance, frequency, resistance, and attenuation.

Standards

There are two wiring standards for network cabling.

T568A and T568B are the two standards for the RJ-45 or 8-position modular connector, permitted under the TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standards document.

The only difference between T568A and T568B (also known as Weco, AT&T 258A) is that the orange and green wire pairs (pairs two and three) are interchanged.

Topology

In order to achieve a high performance network, we decided to make it a star topology.
Using this topology connects the clients to other clients and to the server by the use of switch.

Wires/Connector

The best wire category that may suite to our network is CAT 5e UTP cable since using this category gives a good performance in capacitance, frequency, resistance, and attenuation.

CAT-5e is formally called ANSI/TIA/EIA 568A-5 or simply Cat-5e (the e stands for 'enhanced'). CAT-5e is completely backward compatible with current CAT-5 equipment. The enhanced electrical performance of CAT-5e ensures that the cable will support applications that require additional bandwidth, such as gigabit Ethernet or analog video.

For the connector, we will use RJ 45 since we are going to use UTP cable. The RJ-45 connector is commonly used for network cabling and for telephony applications. It's also used for serial connections in special cases.

Procedure

The room is located at the 3rd floor of CICT building with --- wide and ---- long. We will design a connection for 25 computers including the server. The computer will be divided into 3 (with out the server) makes 8 computer for each segment. The server will be placed on the front of the room.

We will use 4 switches on this network. The 3 switches has the capacity of 8 connection so it means that the three switch will became one segment connecting 8 computers. 1 of the switch serves for main switch which is connected to server and to the 3 switches. The switches will be placed on the upper part of the wall as shown.

The wire will be CAT 5e cable with a RJ 45 connector. The wire will be ensured its safety for being pulled or stretched by embedding the wires on the floor when the connection is on the floor and by putting a plastic protector on when the wire is on the wall.
