MODULE DESCRIPTION

• Module objective This module is designed to ensure participants are able to describe what NGEA is,
understand the benefits of using NGEA, and describe the different types of network
topologies. Lab exercises will be used for skill development and knowledge check.

• Competency statement At the completion of this module participants will be able to describe what NGEA is,
describe the benefits of using NGEA, and identify and describe NGEA network
topologies. Participants will be able to successfully complete the following
exercises:
• Lab 1: Identify CAN and Ethernet Nodes on an Electrical Schematic
• Post-Assessment

• Audience Level II field service personnel, resident mechanics, technical communicators, and
shop technicians. All participants should have a working knowledge of basic
electrical and hydraulic systems.

LAB EXERCISES INSTRUCTOR NOTE

The following section provides directions to set up, facilitate, and assist during lab
exercises.

Some lab exercises are the written-type with worksheets, while other labs are
the traditional “on the iron” labs. Answers are provided in this document for the
worksheet exercises.

The participant lab sheet(s), along with accompanying materials, are located in the
Participant Material PDF (included in the module PDF).

At the beginning of each lab, review the lab description.

NOTE: Discuss safety procedures with the participants for each lab (i.e.
safety glasses, clothing). Safely Home. Everyone. Every Day.™
