Experiment no 1

Aim: Introduction to LAN with its cables, connectors and topologies

LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
• LANs are privately owned network with maximum span of 10Km and provides local
connectivity within a single building or campus of few Kilometer in size.
• LANs are distinguished from other kinds of networks by three characteristics:
– Size : LANs are restricted in size, transmission time is bounded and known in
advance and thus ease of maintenance
– Transmission technology: consisting of single cable to which all the machines
are attached. Runs at speed of 10 to 100 Mbps
– Topology: Like BUS, STAR, TREE, HYBRID etc.
TRANSMISSION MEDIA
Transmission media can be divided into two broad categories:
GUIDED AND UNGUIDED MEDIA.
GUIDED MEDIA(CABLE)
• Guided media is the one which provides a conduit from one device to another; include
twisted pair cable, co-axial cable and fiber optic cable.
• Twisted and co-axial use metallic (Cu) conductor that transport signals in the form of
electric current, whereas optical fiber is a glass or plastic cable and transport signal in
the form of light.
Twisted Pair Cable (100 Hz to 5 MHz)
Frequency range of Twisted Pair Cable is 100 Hz to 5 MHz.
Twisted pair cable comes in two forms:
1>Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP),
2> Shielded Twisted Pair (STP).
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
UTP is the most common type of telecomm. Medium and is use in telephone system,
which consists of two conductor (Cu), each with of different plastic color insulation to
identify specific conductor.
Advantage of UTP
UTP is cheap, flexible and easy to install, higher grade of UTP are used in many LAN
technologies.

UTP cable standards

EIA has developed standard to grade UTP cables by Quality with 1 as lowest and 5 as highest
• Category 1: Used for telecommunication system. Works fine for voice transmission
but not for low-speed data transmission.
• Category 2: Suitable for voice and data transmission up to 4 Mbps.
• Category 3: Required to have at least 3 twists per foot and used for transmission up to
10 Mbps.
• Category 4: It must also have at least 3 twists per foot and is capable of transmission
rates up to 16 Mbps
• Category 5: Used for data transmission up to 100 Mbps.
UTP connector
UTP is most commonly connected to n/w devices via a snap-in plug like RJ45
connector with 8 conductors.

Shielded Twisted Pair(STP)

• STP has a metal foil or braided-mesh covering that encases each pair of insulated
conductors. The metal casing prevents the penetration of electromagnetic noise.
• Through the use of STP we can eliminate the phenomenon called cross talk.
• STP has the same quality consideration as UTP.
• STP is more expensive than that of UTP but less susceptible to noise.
STP connector
STP Uses same connectors as UTP but shield must be connected to ground.

Co-axial cable (100 KHz to 500 MHz)

• Coaxial cable carries signal of higher frequency ranges (100 KHz – 500 MHz)
• Coax has a central core conductor of solid or stranded wire enclosed in an insulating
sheath, which in turn, encased in an outer conductor of metal foil, braid, or a
combination of two (usually copper).
• The outer metallic wrapping serves both as a shield against noise and second
conductor which completes the circuit.
• The outer conductor is also enclosed in an insulating sheath and the whole cable is
protected by a plastic cover.

Coaxial cable standards

Different coaxial cable designs are categorized by the Radio Government (RG) ratings.
Each denotes a unique set of physical specifications, including wire gauge, the thickness
and type of inner insulator.
The following are:
• RG – 8, RG – 9, RG – 11: Used in thick Ethernet.
• RG – 58:00 Used in thin Ethernet.
• RG – 59: Used for TV.
Coaxial cable connectors
There are number of connectors available for coax some of them are
1. BNC (bayonet n/w connector)
2. T-connectors which allow secondary cable to branch off from main line
3. Terminators used in Bus topologies.

OPTICAL FIBER
• Optical fiber is made of glass or plastic and transmits signals in the form of light.
• A core is surrounded by cladding, forming the fiber. Fiber is covered by a buffer layer
that protects it from moisture; finally the entire cable is encased in an outer jacket.
• Both core and cladding can be made either of glass or plastic but must be of different
densities. The inner core must be completely regular in size and shape.
• The outer jacket can be made either of Teflon coating, plastic coating, fibrous plastic,
metal tubing etc. each of which has its own purpose and depends on where the cable
is to be installed.
• Optical fibers use reflection to guide light through a channel. A glass or plastic core is
surrounded by a cladding of less dense glass or plastic.
• The difference in density of the two materials must be such that a beam of light
through the core is reflected off the cladding instead of being refracted into it.
• There are two types of Propagation Modes:

• The purpose of fiber optic cable is to contain & direct a beam of light from source to
target. For transmission, the sending device must be equipped with a light source &
the receiving device with a photosensitive cell.
• The light source can be either LED or ILD (Injection Laser Diode)

Advantages of Optical fiber

• Noise Resistance
• Less signal attenuation
• Higher Bandwidth
Disadvantages of Optical fiber
• Cost
• Installation/maintenance
• Fragility or delicate

TOPOLOGY
The term topology refers to the way physically or logically arrangement of network.
There are five basic topologies:
1) Mesh 2) Star 3) Tree 4) Bus 5) Ring
Mesh
• Every device has a dedicated point-to-point link to every other device.
• It needs n-1 I/O ports and
• A fully connected mesh has n(n-1)/2 links for n devices.
• Advantages:
– Dedicated links eliminates traffic problems
– Robust
– Privacy and Secure for communications.
– P2P makes fault identification and fault isolation easy.
• Disadvantages
– High amount of cabling and number of I/O ports
– Expensive and need large space
Star
Each device has a dedicated point-to-point link to a central controller, usually called hub.
• CHARACTERISTICS
1. The failure of medium does not seriously affect the network.
2. The malfunctioning of a station does not seriously affect the performance of
network.
3. The network can use a variety of guided and unguided transmission media.
4. The failure of HUB seriously affects the network.
• Advantages
– Less expensive than a mesh topology
– Needs only one cable and one I/O port to connect to hub
– Easy to install and reconfigure
– Easy addition and deletion of nodes
– Robust, Easy default identification & fault isolation

Prepared By: Abhishek Varshney, DEPT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGG

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

• Disadvantages
– Central node dependency.
Tree

• Tree is variation of a star, in which majority devices connected to a secondary hub

that is connected to central hub.
Ring
• Ring topology, each device has a dedicated P2P line configuration. Each device in the
ring incorporates repeaters.
• CHARACTERISTICS
5. The failure of medium seriously affects the network.
6. Because the interface are active devices, their malfunctioning seriously affect
the performance of network.
7. Because the interface is active devices, there is no limitation on the length of
network.
8. Because each interface creates a delay, the total propagation delay is
dependent on the no. of station on the network.
9. The network can use one of a variety of transmission media including fiber
optics cable.
• Advantages:
– A ring is relatively easy to install and reconfigure.
– Fault isolation is simplified
• Disadvantage:
– Unidirectional traffic can be disadvantage. The weakness can be solved by
using dual ring or a switch capable of closing off the break
Bus
• A bus topology is multipoint; one long cable is act as a backbone to link. Nodes are
connected to the bus cable by drop lines and taps.
• As signal travels along backbone, some of its energy is transformed into heat;
therefore it becomes weaker & weaker the farther to travel. For this reason there is a
limit on the number of taps.
CHARACTERISTICS
1. The failure of medium seriously affects the network.
2. Because the interfaces are passive their malfunctioning does not seriously
affect the performance of network.
3. Because the interfaces are passive there is limit on the length of network
unless repeaters are used.
4. The propagation delay is independent of number of stations on the network.
• Advantages
– Ease of Installation
– Use less cable than mesh, star or tree topology
• Disadvantages
– Difficult reconfiguration and fault tolerance
– Fault break in the bus cable stops all transmission

Experiment no 2

Aim: To connect two personal computer with straight thru and cross
over twisted pair

Theory:
A crossover cable connects two devices of the same type, for example DTE-DTE or
DCE-DCE, usually connected asymmetrically (DTE-DCE), and by a modified cable called a
crosslink. Such distinction of devices was introduced by IBM.

The crossing wires in a cable or in a connector adaptor allows:

 connecting two devices directly, output of one to input of the other,

 letting two terminal (DTE) devices communicate without an interconnecting hub
knot, i.e. PCs,
 linking two or more hubs, switches or routers (DCE) together, possibly to work as one
wider device.
 Let's start with simple pin-out diagrams of the two types of UTP Ethernet
cables and watch how committees can make a can of worms out of them.
Here are the diagrams:


 Note that the TX (transmitter) pins are connected to corresponding RX
(receiver) pins, plus to plus and minus to minus. And that you must use a
crossover cable to connect units with identical interfaces. If you use a
straight-through cable, one of the two units must, in effect, perform the cross-
over function.
 Two wire color-code standards apply: EIA/TIA 568A and EIA/TIA 568B. The
codes are commonly depicted with RJ-45 jacks as follows (the view is from
the front of the jacks):

Prepared By: Abhishek Varshney, DEPT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGG

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

 If we apply the 568A color code and show all eight wires, our pin-out looks like
this:


 Note that pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 and the blue and brown pairs are not used in
either standard. Quite contrary to what you may read elsewhere, these pins
and wires are not used or required to implement 100BASE-TX duplexing--they
are just plain wasted.
 However, the actual cables are not physically that simple. In the diagrams,
the orange pair of wires are not adjacent. The blue pair is upside-down. The
right ends match RJ-45 jacks and the left ends do not. If, for example, we
invert the left side of the 568A "straight"-thru cable to match a 568A jack--put
one 180° twist in the entire cable from end-to-end--and twist together and
rearrange the appropriate pairs, we get the following can-of-worms:
 This further emphasizes, I hope, the importance of the word "twist" in making
network cables which will work. You cannot use an flat-untwisted telephone
cable for a network cable. Furthermore, you must use a pair of twisted wires
to connect a set of transmitter pins to their corresponding receiver pins. You
cannot use a wire from one pair and another wire from a different pair.
 Keeping the above principles in mind, we can simplify the diagram for a 568A
straight-thru cable by untwisting the wires, except the 180° twist in the entire
cable, and bending the ends upward. Likewise, if we exchange the green and
orange pairs in the 568A diagram we will get a simplified diagram for a 568B
straight-thru cable. If we cross the green and orange pairs in the 568A
diagram we will arrive at a simplified diagram for a crossover cable. All three
are shown below.

There are only two unique cable ends in the preceding diagrams. They correspond
to the 568A and 568B RJ-45 jacks and are shown to the right.

Again, the wires with colored backgrounds may have white stripes and may be
denoted that way in diagrams found elsewhere. For example, the green wire may be
labeled Green-White--I don't bother. The background color is always specified first.

Now, all you need to remember, to

properly configure the cables, are the
diagrams for the two cable ends and the
following rules:

 A straight-thru cable has

identical ends.
 A crossover cable has
different ends.

It makes no functional difference which

standard you use for a straight-thru
cable. You can start a crossover cable
with either standard as long as the other
end is the other standard. It makes no
functional difference which end is which.
Despite what you may have read
elsewhere, a 568A patch cable will work in a network with 568B wiring and 568B
patch cable will work in a 568A network. The electrons couldn't care less.

Procedure:

1. Pull the cable off the reel to the desired length and cut. I have a box of cable at
one end of my shop and a mark on the floor 10' away. For cable lengths which are a
fraction of ten feet, I eye-ball the length as I pull the cable out of the box (also, my
feet are about one foot long). For longer cables, I pull it out to the ten foot mark and
go back to the box and pull the remaining fraction or another ten feet. If you are
pulling cables through walls, a hole in the floor, etc., it easier to attach the RJ-45
plugs after the cable is pulled. The total length of wire segments between a PC and
a hub or between two PC's cannot exceed 100 Meters (328 feet or about the length
of a football field) for 100BASE-TX (and 10BASE-T).

2. Strip one end of the cable with the stripper or a knife and diags. If you are
using the stripper, place the cable in the groove on the blade (left) side of the
stripper and align the end of the cable with the right side of the stripper. This is
about right to strip a little over 1/2" of the jacket off the cable. Turn the stripper
about one turn or so. If you turn it much more, you will probably nick the
wires. The idea is to score the outer jacket, but not go all the way through.
Once scored, you should be able to twist the end of the jacket loose and pull it
off with one hand while holding the rest of the cable with the other. If you are
using a knife and diags, carefully slit the cable for about an inch or so and
neatly trim around the circumference of the cable with the diags to remove the
jacket.

3. Inspect the wires for nicks. Cut off the end and start over if you see any. You
may have to adjust the blade with the screw at the front stripper. Cable diameters
and jacket thicknesses vary.

4. Spread and arrange the pairs roughly in the order of the desired
cable end.

5. Untwist the pairs and arrange the wires in the order of

the desired cable end. Flatten the end between your
thumb and forefinger. Trim the ends of the wires so they
are even with one another. It is very important that the
unstripped (untwisted) end be slightly less than 1/2"
long. If it is longer than 1/2" it will be out-of-spec and
susceptible to crosstalk. If it less than slightly less than 1/2" it will not
be properly clinched when RJ-45 plug is crimped on.. Flatten again.
There should be little or no space between the wires.

6. Hold the RJ-45 plug with the clip facing down or away from you.
Push the wire firmly into the plug. Now, inspect the darn thing... before crimping
and wasting the plug! Looking through the bottom of the plug, the wire on the far
left side will have a white background. The wires should alternate light and dark
from left to right. The furthest right wire is brown. The wires should all end evenly at
the front of the plug. The jacket should end just about where you see it in the
diagram--right on the line. Aren't you glad you didn't crimp the plug?

7. Hold the wire near the RJ-45 plug with the clip down and firmly push it into the left
side of the front of the crimper (it will only go in one way). Hold the wire in place
squeeze the crimper handles quite firmly. This is what will happen:

(Crimp it once.) The crimper pushes two plungers down on the RJ-45 plug. One
forces what amounts to a cleverly designed plastic plug/wedge onto the cable jacket
and very firmly clinches it. The other seats the "pins," each with two teeth at its end,
through the insulation and into the conductors of their respective wires.

8. Test the crimp... If done properly an average person will not be able to pull the
plug off the cable with his or her bare hands. And that quite simply, besides lower
cost, is the primary advantage of twisted-pair cables over the older thinwire, coaxial
cables. In fact, I would say the RJ-45 and ease of its installation is the main reason
coaxial cable is no longer widely used for small Ethernets. But, don't pull that hard
on the plug. It could stretch the cable and change its characteristics. Look at the
side of the plug and see if it looks like the diagram and give it a fairly firm tug to
make sure it is crimped well.

9. Prepare the other end of the cable so it has the desired end and crimp.

10. If both ends of the cable are within reach, hold them next to each other and with
RJ-45 clips facing away. Look through the bottom of the plugs. If the plugs are
wired correctly, and they are identical, it is a straight-thru cable. If they are wired
correctly and they are different, it is a crossover cable.

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

11. If you have an operational network, test the cable. Copy some large files.

12. If the cable doesn't work, inspect the ends again and make sure you have the
right cable and that it is plugged into the correct units for the type of cable. Try
power-cycling (cold booting) the involved computers.

13. If you have many straight-thru cables and a crossover cable in your system, you
should consider labeling the crossover cable or using a different colored cable for the
crossover cable so you don't mix them up. I do not recommend implementing the
crossover function, as recommended elsewhere, with two RJ-45 jacks, appropriately
wired back to back, and two straight-thru cables. This method costs noticeably
more, introduces more than the necessary number of components and connections,
increases the complexity and time of assembly, and decreases reliability.

Precautions:

1. Try to avoid running cables parallel to power cables.

2. Do not bend cables to less than four times the diameter of the cable.

3. If you bundle a group of cables together with cable ties (zip ties), do not over-
cinch them. It's okay to snug them together firmly; but don't tighten them so much
that you deform the cables.

4. Keep cables away from devices which can introduce noise into them. Here's a
short list: copy machines, electric heaters, speakers, printers, TV sets, fluorescent
lights, copiers, welding machines, microwave ovens, telephones, fans, elevators,
motors, electric ovens, dryers, washing machines, and shop equipment.

5. Avoid stretching UTP cables (tension when pulling cables should not exceed 25
LBS).

6. Do not run UTP cable outside of a building. It presents a very dangerous

lightning hazard!

7. Do not use a stapler to secure UTP cables. Use telephone wire/RG-6 coaxial
wire hangers which are available at most hardware stores.

Experiment no 3

Aim: Introduction to Motherboard & Installation of LAN Card

Theory:

Introduction to motherboards

The primary component of a computer is the motherboard (sometimes called the

"mainboard"). The motherboard is the hub which is used to connect all of the computer's
essential components.

As its name suggests, the motherboard acts as a "parent" board, which takes the form of a
large printed circuit with connectors for expansion cards, memory modules, the processor,
etc.
Characteristics

There are several ways in which a motherboard can be characterised, in particular the
following:

 the chipset,
 the type of processor socket used,
 the input-output connectors.

Prepared By: Abhishek Varshney, DEPT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGG

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

Integrated components
The motherboard includes some on-board components, meaning that they are integrated into
its printed circuitry:

 The chipset, a circuit which controls the majority of resources (including the bus
interface with the processor, cache memory and random-access memory, expansion
cards, etc.)
 The CMOS clock and battery,
 The BIOS,
 The system bus and the expansion bus.

What's more, recent motherboards generally include a number of onboard multimedia and
networking devices which can be disabled:

 integrated network card;

 integrated graphics card;
 integrated sound card;
 upgraded hard drive controllers.

The chipset
The chipset is an electronic circuit whose job is to coordinate data transfers between the
various components of the computer (including the processor and memory). As the chipset is
integrated into the motherboard, it is important to choose a motherboard which includes a
recent chipset, in order to maximise the computer's upgradeability.

The CMOS clock and battery

When the computer is turned off, the power supply stops providing electricity to the
motherboard. When the computer is turned on again, the system is still on the right time. An
electronic circuit, called the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxyde Semiconductor, sometimes
called the BIOS CMOS), saves some system information, such as the time, the system date,
and a few essential system settings.

The CMOS is kept powered by a battery (a button battery), or a battery located on the
motherboard. Information on the hardware installed in the computer (such as the number of
tracks or sectors on each hard drive) are stored in the CMOS. As the CMOS is a form of slow
storage, certain systems sometimes recopy the CMOS's content into the RAM (fast storage);
the term "memory shadow" is used to describe this process of copying the data into RAM.

The BIOS
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is the basic program used as an interface between the
operating system and the motherboard. The BIOS is stored in ROM (read-only memory,
which can not be rewritten), so it uses data contained within the CMOS to find out what the
system's hardware configuration is.

The BIOS can be configured using an interface (named the BIOS setup), which can be
accessed when the computer is booting just be pressing a key (usually the DEL key. In

Prepared By: Abhishek Varshney, DEPT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGG

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

reality, the BIOS setup is only used as an interface for configuration; the data is stored in the
CMOS. For more information, check your motherboard's manual.)

The processor socket

The processor (also called the microprocessor) is the computer's brain. It runs programs using
a set of instructions. The processor is characterised by its frequency, the rate at which it
executes instructions. This means that an 800 MHz processor can carry out 800 million
operations per second.

The motherboard has a slot (sometimes several, for multi-processor motherboards) into which
the processor is inserted, called the processor socket or slot.

 Slot: A rectangular connector into which the processor is mounted vertically.

 Socket: In addition to being the general term, it also refers more specifically to a
square-shaped connector with many small connectors into which the processor is
directly inserted.

RAM connectors
RAM (Random Access Memory) is used to store data while the computer is running;
however, its contents are wiped out as soon as the computer is switched off or restarted, as
opposed to mass storage devices such as hard drives, which keep information safe even while
turned off. This is why RAM is called "volatile."

Expansion slots
Expansion slots are compartments into which expansion cards can be inserted. These are
cards which give the computer new features or increased performance. There are several
types of slots:

 ISA slots (Industry Standard Architecture): For inserting ISA slots. The slowest ones
are 16-bit.
 VLB slots (Vesa Local Bus): Bus formerly used for installing graphics cards.
 PCI slot (Peripheral Component InterConnect): used for connecting PCI cards, which
are much faster than ISA cards and run on 32 bits
 AGP slot (Accelerated Graphic Port): A fast port for a graphics card.
 PCI Express slot (Peripheral Component InterConnect Express): Faster bus
architecture than AGP and PCI buses.

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

 AMR slot (Audio Modem Riser): This type of slot is used for connecting mini-cards to
PCs which are built for it.

the input-output connectors.

The motherboard has a certain number of input/output sockets found on the rear panel.

Most motherboards have the following connectors:

 A serial port, for connecting old peripherals;

 A parallel port, mainly for connecting old printers;
 USB ports (1.1, low-speed, or 2.0, high-speed), for connecting more recent
peripherals;
 RJ45 connector (called LAN or ethernet port) used for connecting the computer to a
network. It corresponds to a network card integrated into the motherboard;
 VGA connector (called SUB-D15), for connecting a monitor. This connector
interfaces with the built-in graphics card;
 Audio plugs (Line-In, Line-Out and microphone), for connecting sound speakers or a
hi-fi system, as well as a microphone. This connector interfaces with the built-in
sound card;

Instructions on how to fit a PCI network interface card.

1. Shut down Windows and then turn the computer off and unplug it. Never work in
your computer's insides with the power on or the power cord plugged in!
2. Remove the cover from your computer. There are normally a number of screws on the
outside of the case to remove. Put the screws someplace where they won't wander off.

Figure 1: Removing your

computer's cover.
3. Find an unused expansion slot inside the computer. The expansion slots are lined up
in a neat row near the back of the computer. All new computers have at least three or
four slots known as PCI slots.
4. Many older computers also have several slots known as ISA slots. You can
distinguish ISA slots from PCI slots by noting the size of the slots. PCI slots are
smaller than ISA slots, so you can't accidentally insert a PCI card in an ISA slot or
vice versa. Figure 2 shows the different types of slots.

Figure 2. PCI slots are white, ISA slots are

black
5. When you find the right type of slot that doesn't have a card in it, remove the metal
backplate from the back of the computer's chassis. A small retaining screw holds the
backplate in place. Remove the screw, pull the backplate out, keep it in a safe place in
case you ever want to remove the network card.
6. Insert the network card into the slot. Line up the connectors on the bottom of the card
with the connectors in the expansion slot, and then press the card straight down.
Sometimes you have to press uncomfortably hard to get the card to slide into the slot.
7. Ignored the little cable that came with the card, you can chuck this in the bin. It is a
Wake-On-LAN connector and isn't required for your card to work.
8. Secure the network card with the screw that you removed in Step 4.
9. Put the computer's case back together. Watch out for the loose cables inside the
computer; you don't want to pinch them with the case as you slide it back on. Secure
the case with the screws that you removed in Step 2.
10. Turn the computer back on.

Aim: Case Study of Ethernet (10 base 5, 10 base 2, 10 base T)

Ethernet Overview

If you have an existing network, there’s a 90% chance it’s Ethernet. If you’re installing a new
network, there’s a 98% chance it’s Ethernet— the Ethernet standard is the overwhelming
favorite network standard today.
Ethernet was developed by Xerox®, DEC™, and Intel® in the mid-1970s as a 10-Mbps
(Megabits per second) networking protocol—very fast for its day—operating over a heavy
coax cable (Standard Ethernet).
Today, although many networks have migrated to Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) or even Gigabit
Ethernet (1000 Mbps), 10-Mbps Ethernet is still in widespread use and forms the basis of
most networks.
Ethernet is defined by international standards, specifically IEEE 802.3. It enables the
connection of up to 1024 nodes over coax, twisted-pair, or fiber optic cable. Most new
installations today use economical, lightweight cables such as Category 5 unshielded twisted-
pair cable and fiber optic cable.
How Ethernet Works

Ethernet signals are transmitted from a station serially, one bit at a time, to every other station
on the network.
Ethernet uses a broadcast access method called Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision
Detection (CSMA/CD) in which every computer on the network ―hears‖ every transmission,
but each computer ―listens‖ only to transmissions intended for it.
Each computer can send a message anytime it likes without having to wait for network
permission. The signal it sends travels to every computer on the network. Every computer
hears the message, but only the computer for which the message is intended recognizes it.
This computer recognizes the message because the message contains its address. The
message also contains the address of the sending computer so the message can be
acknowledged.
If two computers send messages at the same moment, a ―collision‖ occurs, interfering with
the signals. A computer can tell if a collision has occurred when it doesn’t hear its own
message within a given amount of time. When a collision occurs, each of the colliding
computers waits a random amount of time before resending the message.
The process of collision detection and retransmission is handled by the Ethernet adapter itself
and doesn’t involve the computer. The process of collision resolution takes only a fraction of
a second under most circumstances. Collisions are normal and expected events on an Ethernet
network. As more computers are added to the network and the traffic level increases, more
collisions occur as part of normal operation. However, if the network gets too crowded,
collisions increase to the point where they slow down the network considerably.

EXPERIMENT NO. 5
Objective
• Create a simple network with two PCs using a hub
• Identify the proper cable to connect the PCs to the hub
• Configure workstation IP address information
• Test connectivity using the ping command

Theory
A hub is a networking concentration device sometimes referred to as a multiport repeater.
Hubs are inexpensive and easy to install, but they permit collisions to occur. They are

appropriate for a small LAN with light traffic.

In addition to the physical and data link connections, which are Layers 1 and 2, the
computers must also be configured with the correct IP network settings, which is Layer 3, so
that they can communicate. Since this lab uses a hub, a basic Category 5/5e UTP straight-
through cable is needed to connect each PC to the hub. This is referred to as a patch cable or
horizontal cabling, which is used to connect workstations and a typical LAN. Start this lab
with the equipment turned off and with cabling disconnected.
Resources/Apparatus required:
• Two workstations with an Ethernet 10/100 NIC installed
• Ethernet 10BaseT or Fast Ethernet hub
• Several Ethernet cables, which are both straight-through and crossover, to choose from for
connecting the two workstations.
PROCEDURE
Step 1 Identify the proper Ethernet cable and connect the two PCs to the hub
a. The connection between the two PCs will be accomplished using a Category 5 or 5e
crossover cable. Locate two cables that are long enough to reach from each PC to the
hub. Attach one end to the NIC and the other end to a port on the hub. Be sure to
examine the cable ends carefully and select only a straight-through cable.

b. What kind of cable is required to connect from NIC to hub? ___________________

c. What is the category rating of the cable? ______________________

Prepared By: Abhishek Varshney, DEPT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGG

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

d. What is the AWG wire size designation of the cable? ______________________

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

b. Note that the default gateway IP address is not required, since these computers are
directly connected. The default gateway is only required on local area networks that
are connected to a router.
Computer Computer IP Address Subnet mask Default Gateway

PC – A : 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 Not Required

PC – B : 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 Not Required

Step 5: Access the Command or MS-DOS prompt

Use the Start menu to open the Command Prompt (MS-DOS-like) window:

Windows 95 / 98 / Me users should do the following:

Start > Programs > MS-DOS Prompt

Windows NT / 2000 users should do the following:

Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

Windows XP users should do the following:

Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

Step 6: Verify that the PCs can communicate

A) Test connectivity from one PC to the other by pinging the IP address of the opposite
computer.
Use the following command at the command prompt.
C:>ping 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.1.2)

Step 7 Confirm the TCP/IP network settings

Windows 95 / 98 / Me users should do the following:
Type the winipcfg command from the MS-DOS Prompt. Record the results.
Windows NT / 2000 / XP users should do the following:
Type the ipconfig command from the Command Prompt. Record the results.
Step 8 Restore the PCs to their original IP settings, disconnect the equipment, and
store the cables.

Precautions:
write down the existing IP settings, so that they can be restored at the end
These include IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. If the workstation
is a DHCP client, it is not necessary to record this information.

EXPERIMENT NO. 6
Objective:
 Installation & working of Remote desktop

Hardware Required:
LAN Card, LAN drivers, 2-computers, Modem, Cables

Theory:

Remote Desktop, a function included with Windows XP Professional, enables you to connect
to your computer across the Internet from virtually any computer, Pocket PC, or smartphone.
Unlike a typical VPN connection (which will give a remote PC access to the company
network) Remote Desktop will actually allow you to see and control your connected PC as
though you were sitting directly in front of it.
Remote desktop technology makes it possible to view another computer's desktop on your
computer. This means you can open folders, move files, and even run programs on the remote
computer, right from your own desktop. Both Windows and Macintosh computer support
remote desktop connections, though they use different implementations.

Windows XP and Vista both include Remote Desktop as part of the operating system. The
Remote Desktop program uses Microsoft Terminal Services and the Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP) to connect to a remote machine. Remote connections can be opened using
Windows' Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), which is also referred to as Terminal Services
Client (TSC). This program allows users to configure and manage remote connections to
other computers. Of course, to connect to another machine, the remote system must be
configured to accept incoming RDC connections.

A Windows computer can be configured to accept incoming remote desktop connections by

opening the Control Panel and selecting "Performance and Maintenance." Then click the
"System" icon and select the "Remote" tab in the System Properties window. Next, check the
box that says, "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer." Then click OK. This
should enable remote desktop connections to your machine. You can then click "Select
Remote Users..." to only provide access to specific users. Of course, if you don't want your
computer to be accessed by anyone, leave the "Allow users to connect..." box unchecked.

Mac OS X 10.5 and later includes a feature called Screen Sharing that allows other users to
remotely access the computer's desktop. To turn on Screen Sharing, open System Preferences
and select the Sharing option. Next, check the "Screen Sharing" check box. You can then add
access for specific users in the "Allow access for:" section of the window. If the Mac OS X
Screen Sharing option feels a bit limited, you may want to try a program called "Apple

Remote Desktop." This program, which is developed by Apple, provides more advanced
remote access features and is often used for managing several computers on a network.

Remote desktop is a program or an operating system feature that allows the user to connect to
a computer in another location, see that computer's desktop and interact with it as if it were
local.

People use remote desktop capability to do a variety of things remotely, including the
following:

 Access a workplace computer from home or when traveling.

 Access a home computer from other locations.
 Fix a computer problem.
 Perform administrative tasks.
 Demonstrate something, such as a process or a software application.

Prepared By: Abhishek Varshney, DEPT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGG

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

Remote desktop connectivity relies upon any of a number of protocols, including Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP), Virtual Network Computing (VNC), NX technology and
Independent Computing Architecture (ICA).

Remote desktop software exists for most operating systems and platforms, including
handheld computing devices. Microsoft and Apple each have a product called "Remote
Desktop." Other remote desktop products include Citrix XenApp, Cross Loop, Jaadu (for the
iPhone and iPod Touch), GoToMyPC, PCAnywhere and Chicken of the VNC.

Procedure:
1. Go to My Computer properties window by right clicking and selecting properties
from menu that appears
2. Select Remote

*For successful connection we have to perform 3 things:-

 Check the checkbox ―Allow users to connect remotely to this computer
 Turn the Firewall off
 Set password by:

a) Right clicking My computer and click Manage.

b) Select ―Local user & group‖
c) Right click on ―Administrator‖

3. Set IP of 2nd computer in ―Remote Desktop Connection‖ window. To open ―Remote

4. Give username and password of 2nd computer. The 2nd computer will automatically
Log off while 1st one is working remotely on it. The remote connection is last once
the user of 2nd computer logs in again.

Result:
The two computers are now accessing each-other by remote desktop
connection. The accessing of remote systems is possible by configuring remote desktop.

EXPERIMENT NO. 7

Objective:
Installation and working of Telnet (Terminal Network)

Hardware Required:
LAN Card, LAN drivers, 2-computers, Modem, Cables

Theory:

Its an abbreviation for ―Terminal Network‖. Telnet is a protocol that allows a user to log on
to other computers. You use an IP address or domain name to log on. Bulletin boards are still
available to play games, download files or read information. In addition, you can play games
with your friends over this type of network. Telnet is not as common as it once was.
Nevertheless, it is a simple method of connecting to different friends or online communities.
Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP protocol
for accessing remote computers. Through Telnet, an administrator or another user can access
someone else's computer remotely. On the Web, HTTP and FTP protocols allow you to
request specific files from remote computers, but not to actually be logged on as a user of that
computer. With Telnet, you log on as a regular user with whatever privileges you may have
been granted to the specific application and data on that computer. A Telnet command
request looks like this (the computer name is made-up):
telnet the.libraryat.whatis.edu

The result of this request would be an invitation to log on with a user-id and a prompt for a
password. If accepted, you would be logged on like any user who used this computer every
day. Telnet is most likely to be used by program developers and anyone who has a need to
use specific applications or data located at a particular host computer.

EXPERIMENT NO. 8

Objective:
Working with Null modem

Null Modem Cable

After all, isn't this why you came to this site?

The purpose of a null-modem cable is to permit two RS-232 "DTE" devices to

communicate with each other without modems or other communication devices (i.e.,
"DCE"s) between them.

To achieve this, the most obvious connection is that the TD signal of one device
must be connected to the RD input of the other device (and vice versa).

Also, however, many DTE devices use other RS-232 pins for out-of-band (i.e.,
"hardware") flow control. One of the most common schemes is for the DTE (the PC)
to assert the RTS signal if it is ready to receive data (yes, it DOES sound backwards,
but that's how it works), and for the DCE (the modem) to assert CTS when it is able
to accept data. By connecting the RTS pin of one DTE to the CTS pin of the other
DTE, we can simulate this handshake.

Also, it is common convention for many DTE devices to assert the DTR signal when
they are powered on, and for many DCE devices to assert the DSR signal when they
are powered on, and to assert the CD signal when they are connected. By
connecting the DTR signal of one DTE to both the CD and DSR inputs of the other
DTE (and vice versa), we are able to trick each DTE into thinking that it is connected
to a DCE that is powered up and online. As a general rule, the Ring Indicate (RI)
signal is not passed through a null-modem connection.

Common Null-Modem Connection

Signal Name DB-25 Pin DB-9 Pin DB-9 Pin DB-25 Pin
FG (Frame Ground) 1 - X - 1 FG
TD (Transmit Data) 2 3 - 2 3 RD
RD (Receive Data) 3 2 - 3 2 TD

Prepared By: Abhishek Varshney, DEPT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGG

 M.P.Christian college of engineering and technology

RTS (Request To Send) 4 7 - 8 5 CTS

CTS (Clear To Send) 5 8 - 7 4 RTS
SG (Signal Ground) 7 5 - 5 7 SG
DSR (Data Set Ready) 6 6 - 4 20 DTR
CD (Carrier Detect) 8 1 - 4 20 DTR
DTR (Data Terminal Ready) 20 4 - 1 8 CD
DTR (Data Terminal Ready) 20 4 - 6 6 DSR

Here's another null-modem connection that I've seen floating around the net. Some
folks say that it's the cable that's shipped with LapLink 4 Pro.

Signal Name DB-25 Pin DB-9 Pin DB-9 Pin DB-25 Pin
FG (Frame Ground) 1 - X - 1 FG
TD (Transmit Data) 2 3 - 2 3 RD
RD (Receive Data) 3 2 - 3 2 TD
RTS (Request To Send) 4 7 - 8 5 CTS
CTS (Clear To Send) 5 8 - 7 4 RTS
SG (Signal Ground) 7 5 - 5 7 SG
DSR (Data Set Ready) 6 6 - 4 20 DTR
DTR (Data Terminal Ready) 20 4 - 6 6 DSR

Personally, I don't think that a null-modem cable built to the above pinout will work
quite as well, but a lot of folks appear to have success with it. In general, it will work
with some software packages, such as those that only use RTS/CTS hardware flow
control. However, some packages that rely on the proper assertion of the CD signal
will not work with this cable.

Here's a good set of figures for DB-25 male and female connectors, as viewed from
the pin side (not the solder side).

If you're using a serial cable or null-modem cable for local serial connectivity or for
modem replacement, you might consider looking at the Traversix™ network

products to connect to serial-enabled devices over the Internet, even (especially)
when those devices are located behind a third-party firewall.

EXPERIMENT NO. 10

Objective:
Installation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Theory:

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to

devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address
every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even
change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP
addresses.

Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP
addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new
computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP
address. Many ISPs use dynamic IP addressing for dial-up users.

A DHCP Server assigns IP addresses to client computers. This is very often used in enterprise
networks to reduce configuration efforts. All IP addresses of all computers are stored in a
database that resides on a server machine.

desired IP address, MAC address and description – choose whether you want to support
DHCP or BOOTP and press add. The new reservation will be added to the list.

That’s it it is very easy to configure DHCP server in win server 2003 now you can configure
your windows client pc to check your dhcp server is working or not.

EXPERIMENT NO. 11

Objective:
To study DNS Server Case Study and to install DNS Server and its Configuration

Theory (Case Study):

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a standard technology for managing the names of Web
sites and other Internet domains. DNS technology allows you to type names into your Web
browser like compnetworking.about.com and your computer to automatically find that
address on the Internet. A key element of the DNS is a worldwide collection of DNS servers.
What, then, is a DNS server?
Answer: A DNS server is any computer registered to join the Domain Name System. A
DNS server runs special-purpose networking software, features a public IP address, and
contains a database of network names and addresses for other Internet hosts.

DNS Root Servers

DNS servers communicate with each other using private network protocols. All DNS servers
are organized in a hierarchy. At the top level of the hierarchy, so-called root servers store the
complete database of Internet domain names and their corresponding IP addresses. The
Internet employs 13 root servers that have become somewhat famous for their special role.
Maintained by various independent agencies, the servers are aptly named A, B, C and so on
up to M. Ten of these servers reside in the United States, one in Japan, one in London, UK
and one in Stockholm, Sweden.

DNS Server Hierarchy

The DNS is a distributed system, meaning that only the 13 root servers contain the complete
database of domain names and IP addresses. All other DNS servers are installed at lower
levels of the hierarchy and maintain only certain pieces of the overall database.

Most lower level DNS servers are owned by businesses or Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
For example, Google maintains various DNS servers around the world that manage the
google.com, google.co.uk, and other domains. Your ISP also maintains DNS servers as part
of your Internet connection setup.

DNS networking is based on the client / server architecture. Your Web browser functions as a
DNS client (also called DNS resolver) and issues requests to your Internet provider's DNS
servers when navigating between Web sites.

When a DNS server receives a request not in its database (such as a geographically far away
or rarely visited Web site), it temporarily transforms from a server to a DNS client. The
server automatically passes that request to another DNS server or up to the next higher level
in the DNS hierarchy as needed. Eventually the request arrives at a server that has the
matching name and IP address in its database (all the way to the root level if necessary), and
the response flows back through the chain of DNS servers to your client.

DNS Servers and Home Networking

Computers on your home network locate a DNS server through the Internet connection setup
properties. Providers give their customers the public IP address(es) of primary and backup
DNS servers. You can find the current IP addresses of your DNS server configuration via
several methods:

 on the configuration screens of a home network router

 on the TCP/IP connection properties screens in Windows Control Panel (if configured
via that method)

 from ipconfig or similar command line utility

Install DNS

1. Open Windows Components Wizard. To do so, use the following steps:

a. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
b. Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
2. In Components, select the Networking Services check box, and then click Details.
3. In Subcomponents of Networking Services, select the Domain Name System
(DNS) check box, click OK, and then click Next.
4. If you are prompted, in Copy files from, type the full path of the distribution files,
and then click OK.

Configure DNS

1. Start the Configure Your Server Wizard. To do so, click Start, point to All
Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Configure Your Server
Wizard.
2. On the Server Role page, click DNS server, and then click Next.
3. On the Summary of Selections page, view and confirm the options that you have
selected. The following items should appear on this page:
o Install DNS
o Run the Configure a DNS Wizard to configure DNS

If the Summary of Selections page lists these two items, click Next. If the Summary
of Selections page does not list these two items, click Back to return to the Server
Role page, click DNS, and then click Next.

4. When the Configure Your Server Wizard installs the DNS service, it first
determines whether the IP address for this server is static or is configured
automatically. If your server is currently configured to obtain its IP address
automatically, the Configuring Components page of the Windows Components
Wizard prompts you to configure this server with a static IP address. To do so:
a. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, click Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
b. In the Internet Protocols (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click Use the
following IP address, and then type the static IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway for this server.
c. In Preferred DNS, type the IP address of this server.
d. In Alternate DNS, type the IP address of another internal DNS server, or
leave this box blank.
e. When you finish setting up the static addresses for your DNS, click OK, and
then click Close.
5. After you click Close, the Configure a DNS Server Wizard starts. In the wizard,
follow these steps:
. On the Select Configuration Action page, select the Create a forward
lookup zone check box, and then click Next.
a. To specify that this DNS hosts a DNS zone that contains DNS resource
records for your network resources, on the Primary Server Location page,
click This server maintains the zone, and then click Next.

b. On the Zone Name page, in Zone name, specify the name of the DNS zone
for your network, and then click Next. The name of the zone is the same as the
name of the DNS domain for your small organization or branch office.
c. On the Dynamic Update page, click Allow both non secure and secure
dynamic updates, and then click Next. This makes sure that the DNS
resource records for the resources in your network update automatically.
d. On the Forwarders page, click Yes, it should forward queries to DNS
servers with the following IP addresses, and then click Next. When you
select this configuration, you forward all DNS queries for DNS names outside
your network to a DNS at either your ISP or central office. Type one or more
IP addresses that either your ISP or central office DNS servers use.
e. On the Completing the Configure a DNS Wizard page of the Configure a
DNS Wizard, you can click Back to change any of the settings. To apply your
selections, click Finish.

After you finish the Configure a DNS Wizard, the Configure Your Server Wizard displays
the This Server is Now a DNS Server page. To review all the changes that you made to your
server in the Configure Your Server Wizard or to make sure that a new role was installed
successfully, click Configure Your Server log. The Configure Your Server Wizard log is
located at %systemroot%\Debug\Configure Your Server.log. To close the Configure Your
Server Wizard, click Finish.
