Course : Diploma in Information Technology

Module Code : Unit_04


Module : Network Technology

Tutorials aim to discuss matters arising from lectures, work not covered in lectures, essays
or other tasks that have been set or some aspect of the readings. Tutorials are generally led
by a tutor. As such, the following work is to be discussed and explored either physically or
via online means.

Tutorial (2 Hours)

Watch Video and Answer Questions

Video 01
01) What are network topologies?
 A topology is a layout of how a network communicates with different devices
02) What are the basic categories of network topologies?
 Star topology
 Bus topology
 Ring topology
 Mesh topology
03) Explain the characteristics of star topology.
 Every node is connected to a central node called a hub or switch
 Centralized Management
 All traffic must pass through the hub or switch
04) Explain the characteristics of ring topology.
 A ring topology is a bus topology in a closed loop
 Peer-to –Peer LAN topology
 Two connections: one to each of its nearest neighbors
 Unidirectional
 Sending and receiving data takes place with the help of a Token

05) Explain the characteristics of bus topology.
 All data transmitted between nodes in the network is transmitted over this common
transmission medium and is cable to be received by all nodes in the network
simultaneously.
 A Signal containing the address of the intended receiving machine travels from a source
machine in both directions to all machines connected to the bus until it finds the
intended recipient.
06) What do we mean by BNC Connector.
 In the bus topology the computers connect to the coaxial cable using special connectors
called BNC, Which are also known as T connectors
07) Explain the characteristics of mesh topology.
 Each node ids directly connected to every other nodes in the network.
 Fault tolerant and reliable
08) Explain the characteristics of Ad hoc and infrastructure topologies.
 Ad hoc
 Simple technology
 Doesn’t rely on centralized device
 Connected to other devices wirelessly by peer to peer connection
 Easy to set up

 Infrastructure
 Uses wire and wireless devices
 Similar to star topology
 Wireless access point helps wireless devices like phone and laptop connect to the
network

(Note: Learner can explain this by using diagram)

Video 02
01) List down the characteristics of RJ-45 connectors.
 The most common network connector that is used in networking.
 8 pin modular connector.
 Used to connect computers and network devices in local area network.
 Used with unshielded twisted pair cables.

02) What is the difference between RJ-45 connectors and extended RJ-48 connectors.
 RJ-45 used with unshielded twisted pair cables and RJ-48 used with shielded twisted
pair cables.
 RJ-48 is primarily used with T1 lines and it’s also wired differently than the RJ-45.

03)List down the most popular fiber optic connectors.


 SC connector
 MTRJ connector
 LC connector
 ST connector
