Final Project in Networking
Final Project in Networking
Galle District Co-Operative Hospital Ltd was established at a meeting held on at Parakrama
Vidyalaya, Dickson Road, Galle with the participation and blessing of Messers K.H.Muthtettuwatta,
Senapala Samarasekara, D.M.Nandadasa, V.Siriwardena, F.B.Wijesinghe, Sumathipala Maitipe,
D.L.S.Wanigaratne, P.Kariyawasam, G.G.Somadasa, K.R.Francis, Henry Dissanayake,
W.Gunawardena, N.T.W.Wijesekara, Jayatissa, and P.B.Wijetunga, under the coordination and
monitoring of Mr. Wijesekara who was the Co-Operative Development Officer at that time, in
consideration of the tremendous difficulties faced by the people in the Southern Province during the
decades of 1950 – 1960. Basic healthcare services were commenced from 14.06.1962 in a building at
No. 57, Wakwella Road, Galle having registered as a small dispensary.
With the increase of its membership, and keen interest shown by the public, followed by the assistance
and the support of the politicians and the elites who were truly committed to the community services, it
was possible to convince the Government to get a land released on a long term lease at No.42,
Wakwella Road, Galle in 1972 to set up the hospital. A new building had been constructed and
healthcare services had been extended including medical consultancy services. Subsequently, services
had been further extended in 1982 in a three storied building constructed on a Government land
received on lease, located opposite the existing building to cater to the increasing demand.
By 1996, this hospital became one of the most leading private hospitals in the Southern Province, and
the management had foreseen the necessity to develop it to suit the advancement of the society with
medium and long term strategies. Accordingly, a four storied building was constructed in 2004 and
further expanded its services.
In 2012, construction of a new seven storied building with modern facilities and advance equipment
was commenced with a cost of Rs. 262 Million. This new building consists of two main surgical
theatres, a labour room, an intensive care unit, a pre-mature baby care unit, a diabetic screening center,
a dental unit, emergency services, a laboratory, and medical consultancy service rooms as well as an
underground vehicle parking facility. The project has been designed to extend residential rooms up to
65, with all required facilities to accommodate both locals and foreigners.

1.2 INITIAL SITUATION
The channeling center doesn’t have a network. So they want to install a new network to their building
to improve their hospitality abilities and provide excellent service for their customers. Our main
objectives are to create a networking system for channeling center new branch in Karapitiya .Co –
Operative hospital in Galle is thinking of running a branch network through a networking process It
primarily reflects customer growth. It basically enhances the name of the Co – Operative hospital
group in leading private hospital range. Therefore, it is planned to prepare a networking system for
the channeling center new branch in Karapitiya .
2
1.3 PROBLEM DEFINITION
Now a days every channelling center in Sri Lanka have a network. As a leading hospital group in
Sri Lanka it is so important to have a network to this Medicare clinical center because without a
network,
• Time & human labour wasting to sharing those files by using non networking sharing
options.
• In non network system there is lot of cost gone for the resources.
E.g. ; Printers
Scanners
Pos machine……etc.
• Communication between inter company is will be possible
• Quality of patient care and clinical communication.
• Asset tracking & inventory management.
• Security problems.
3
1.4 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
As it is a big problem to deal with customers without a network in a medical center.it will be so
much easier to satisfy customers and do hospitality service easily if a network is placed in the
company.

Centralization of control
Access, resources and integrity of the data are controlled by the dedicated server so that a
program or unauthorized client cannot damage the system. This centralization also facilitates task of
updating data or other resources (better than the networks P2P)
Scalability
You can increase the capacity of clients and servers separately. Any element can be increased
(or enhanced) at any time, or you can add new nodes to the network (clients or servers).
Easy maintenance
Distribute the roles and responsibilities to several standalone computers, you can replace,
repair, upgrade, or even move a server, while customers will not be affected by that change (or
minimally affect).

2.2 Required Tools and Equipment
• Crimping tool
A crimping tool is a device used to conjoin two pieces of metal by deforming
one or both of them in a way that causes them to hold each other. The result of
the tool's work is called a crimp. A good example of crimping is the process of
affixing a connector to the end of a cable. For instance, network cables and
phone cables are created using a crimping tool to join the RJ-45 and
RJ-11 connectors to the both ends of either phone or CAT5 cable.
Figure 2.1
• Side Cutter
Use for the cutting wires.
Figure 2.2
12
• Punch down tool
It is used for inserting wire into insulation-displacement connectors on punch
down blocks, patch panels, keystone modules, and surface mount boxes.
Figure 2.3
• Cable Tester
A cable tester is used to verify that all of the intended connections exist and
that there are no unintended connections in the cable being tested. It is use to
test Ethernet cables and to check all the 8 cables are working properly.
Figure 2.4
13
• RJ-45 connectors
An 8-pin/8-position plug or jack is commonly used to connect computers onto
Ethernet-based local area networks (LAN). Two wiring schemes–T568A and
T568B–are used to terminate the twisted-pair cable onto
the connector interface.
Figure 2.5
• Keystone
A keystone jack is a female connector used in data communications,
particularly local area networks (LANs). The jack is usually mounted in a wall
plate or patch panel. A keystone plug (RJ-45 connector) is the matching male
connector, usually attached to the end of a cable or cord.
Figure 2.6
14
• Faceplate
Figure 2.7
• Patch Panel
A patch panel in a local area network (LAN) is a mounted hardware
assembly that contains ports used to connect and manage incoming and outgoing LAN
cables. Patch panels are also referred to as patch bays, patch fields or jack fields and
are also commonly used in radio and television.
Figure 2.8
15
• Network Switch
A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, officially MAC
bridge) is a computer networking device that connects devices together on a computer
network by using packet switching to receive, process, and forward data to the
destination device.
Figure 2.9
• Router
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer
networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. Data
sent through the internet, such as a web page or email, is in the form of data
packets.
Figure 2.10
16
• Networking Cables
Networking cables are networking hardware used to connect one network
device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share printers,
scanners etc.
Figure 2.11
17
2.3 Used Standards
• IEEE Standards
IEEE 802. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. IEEE 802 is a family
of IEEE standards dealing with local area networks and metropolitan area networks.
More specifically, the IEEE 802 standards are restricted to networks carrying variable-
size packets.
Figure 2.12
18
• Straight-through Cable
The TIA/EIA 568-A standard which was ratified in 1995, was replaced by the
TIA/EIA 568-B standard in 2002 and has been updated since. Both standards define
the T-568A and T-568B pin-outs for using Unshielded Twisted Pair cable and RJ-45
connectors for Ethernet connectivity. The standards and pin-out specification appear
to be related and interchangeable, but are not the same and should not be used
interchangeably. Both the T-568A and the T-568B standard Straight-Through cables
are used most often as patch cords for your Ethernet connections. In Sri Lanka we use
commonly TIA/EIA 568-B standard.
Figure 2.14
• Cross-over Cable
A good way of remembering how to wire a Crossover Ethernet cable is to wire
one end using the T-568A standard and the other end using the T-568B standard.
Another way of remembering the color coding is to simply switch the Green set of
wires in place with the Orange set of wires. Specifically, switch the solid Green (G)
with the solid Orange, and switch the green/white with the orange/white. If you
require a cable to connect two Ethernet devices directly together without a hub or
when you connect two hubs together, you will need to use a Crossover cable.

2.4 Concepts and Relevant Theory
• IP Addressing
Figure 2.16
20
• Network Topologies
Figure 2.17
21
2. Star Topology
In a star network devices are connected to a central computer, called a hub.
Nodes communicate across the network by passing data through the hub.
Advantage in a star network, one malfunctioning node doesn't affect the rest of
the network but the main disadvantage is that if the central computer fails, the
entire network becomes unusable. But star topology is the most common
network topology used in nowadays.
Figure 2.18

• Troubleshooting Commands
1. Ping
At DOS prompt type Ping 10.10.10.1 and press enter. If you get the reply
from the server then the connectivity is ok and if you get the error message
like this “Request time out” this means the there is some problem in the
connectivity with the server.
Figure 2.20
2. IPCONFIG
Figure 2.21
23
3. NSLOOKUP
Figure 2.22
4. TRACERT
Tracert command is used to determine the path of the remote system. This
tool also provides the number of hops and the IP address of each hop. For
example if you want to see that how many hops (routers) are involved to
reach www.yahoo.com and what’s the IP address of each hop then use the
following command.

4.1 Install Physical Components
A bank environment should be high of security and safety. When installing network equipment they
should place properly to avoid any damage and loss of data.
• Wall outlet
Wall outlet contain the keystone which connect the networking devices with the
network switch. When installing wall outlet you should be very careful not to
damage the networking wires and the keystone.
• Patch panel
Networking cables comes from the keystones are connected to this device. Patch
panel does not need electricity and it is use to protect the network switch from
damage.
• Switch
In the enclosure network switch always placed under patch panel and under the
cable management. Switch needs electricity to do its work. It is the device that
connect all the nodes together.
• Cable Management
Cable management is placed inside the enclosure in-between the patch panel and
the network switch. It is used to manage patch codes from the patch panel to the
network switch.
• Router
Router is placed inside the enclosure and the Ethernet cable is connected to the
patch panel and a patch cable is connected to the network switch to get internet
connection to the organization.

4.3 Maintain Network
4.3.1 Hard Maintenance
Take a patch cable and cable tester. Plug patch cable to cable tester and other side plug to cable
tester another port. It is wrong it`s mean patch cable is incorrect.
Take patch cable and cable tester. Plug patch cable to cable tester and another side plug
keystone port. It is work. It`s mean keystone is correct and colouring code also correct.
We can check wall outlet and system unit LAN port right or wrong like this.
Take patch cable plug patch cable to wall outlet port and other side plug system unit LAN port.
And after that check network icon. It`s yellow it`s mean patch cable is ok bot of side. It is red,
it`s mean keystone, system unit LAN port or switch have some problem.
We can check network switch and wall outlet right or wrong like this.
Check network switch port no and wall outlet no. PC`s network icon is yellow. It`s mean
network connection is ok. It is red, it`s mean keystone or switch have some problem.
We can numbering UTP cable both of side and wall outlet face.it is easy for troubleshooting. We
can numbering like this,
