Network Basics NETWORKS DETAIL Wiring: twistedpair The most common wiring used for LANs is twistedpair wiring, similar to the wiring used for telephones. This wiring connects the computers or other network devices to a central hub. The use of telephone-type wiring makes it easy for the persons who - HP Jetdirect 280m | HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Internal Print Server LIO - Page 12
Network Basics commonly operates at a data rate of either 10 Mbps (megabits per second) or 100 Mbps. Category 5 wiring is required for 100-Mbps operation. A 10-Mbps LAN can run on either Category 3 or Category 5 wiring (though we strongly recommend Category 5). At either data rate, cables may extend - HP Jetdirect 280m | HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Internal Print Server LIO - Page 13
Network Basics NETWORKS DETAIL Wiring: thin coax An alternative to twistedpair wiring is thin coaxial cabling, often called thin coax. This cabling is known as RG-58A or RG58U cable, and has an impedance of 50 ohms.

Network Basics NETWORKS DETAIL Computer connections For twisted-pair LANs: A desktop computer connects to a twisted-pair LAN through a network interface card (NIC) that resides in a slot in the computer, or through a similar interface built in to the computer itself. The RJ45 plug of the network - HP Jetdirect 280m | HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Internal Print Server LIO - Page 16
Network Basics are uncommon. Portable computers connecting to thin coaxial LANs use a PC card with a short cable that provides a BNC connection. In all cases, the LAN cable connects to the computer through a BNC "T" connector.

Infrastructure mode Terminology: Infrastructure mode is referred to as a "basic service set" (BSS). It's topology is sometimes called a "star point performs additional functions when a wireless LAN is connected to a wired LAN.) Infrastructure mode is suitable for wireless LANs of all sizes. file - HP Jetdirect 280m | HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Internal Print Server LIO - Page 20
mode the access point sets the channel for all device that communicate through it. A wireless LAN can have multiple access points. This can expand the capacity of the network and extend its range, allowing users to roam with their portable computers and still stay connected to the network. file - HP Jetdirect 280m | HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Internal Print Server LIO - Page 21
mode is referred to as an "independent basic service set" (IBSS). It is sometimes called "peer-topeer mode". On a network of Apple Macintosh computers, it may be called "computer-tocomputer mode". Topology: In ad hoc mode the wireless devices on a network communicate directly with each other - HP Jetdirect 280m | HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Internal Print Server LIO - Page 22

connections work at short ranges and slow speeds. (In this tutorial, we will concentrate on the networking that is typified by 802.3-type wired networks and 802.11b-type wireless networks.) file:///C|/Bottlecap_Structure_26--TestMerge/DOCS/EN/NETBASIC/FNWD0060.HTM (2 of 2) [5/20/2003 3:41:09 PM] - HP Jetdirect 280m | HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Internal Print Server LIO - Page 24
networking connections are simpler than wired ones just because there are no wires to connect. Wireless connections are most common in portable computers.

Network Basics NETWORKS L is for Local The "local" in "local area network" means that the network is in a single location. A LAN can be small enough to serve a home office or a small business, or it can be large enough to serve a school, a hospital, or a substantial business or public office. It can - HP Jetdirect 280m | HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Internal Print Server LIO - Page 29
Network Basics can be a separate piece of equipment, or it can include the LAN hub.

. This allows you to communicate with a specific computer (or other device, such as a printer). That way, your email doesn't go to everybody, and your print job doesn't get printed simultaneously on all printers on the network. There are several addressing schemes for networks. Of these, the most - HP Jetdirect 280m | HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Internal Print Server LIO - Page 31
The number of possible IP addresses is huge. So is the number of Internet users, and the possibility of conflicts is a real one.

Why use network printers? Using network printers lets you meet your computer users' printing needs more efficiently. By sharing printers among several users, you reduce the number of printers you need.

. In such an application you will still probably want to use a print server, because its small size gives you location flexibility. Using a print server, you can easily place your printers near your users, while keeping the network server out of the way in a central computer area.

printing using a print server. The first is the peerto-peer topology, in which a computer sends print jobs directly to the printer. In peer-to-peer printing, each computer manages the print the printer and waiting for it to be available. Peer-to-peer printing works well on networks with few users.

The second standard layout for network printing is the client/server topology.

PRINTING Printer drivers The printer driver is the last major component to consider in network printing. This driver is system software that converts a document in your computer to a form that makes sense for the printer.
