Minimum Requirements for Networking

Minimum Requirements for Networking

The minimum requirements for networking are 4 to 6 computers and 4 to 6 network interface cards, Cat 6 cables for LAN connections and 4 to 6 network operating systems software, 4 to 6 IP addresses for network connections, and the set of rules (network protocol). The minimum requirements for networking are 4 to 6 computers and 4 to 6 network interface cards, Cat 6 cables for LAN connections and 4 to 6 network operating systems software, 4 to 6 IP addresses for network connections, and the set of rules (network protocol).

The following Minimum Requirements For Networking is

  1. PC’s
  2. NIC ( N/W interface card  (or) Either net card )
  3. Cables  & Connector
  4. Network OS
  5. IP-Address (Internet protocol)
  6. Protocol (Set of  rules)

PC’s (Computers)

Therefore networking we need to buy 4 to 6 computer sets like Monitors, Cabinets with CPU, Keyboards, and Mouse. Such as the basic essentials for computer systems to work fine. However, a CPU is a central processing unit it contains Motherboard, RAM, Processor, FAN, SMPS, CMOS battery, and VRAM.

NIC (N/W interface card  (or) Either net card)

A Network Interface Card (NIC) is used to connect computers to the network with the help of LAN cable (CAT 6). Therefore it provides connection between the computers and connects to the internet. It is also know as Ethernet Adaptor, LAN Adaptor, and Network Adaptor.

Cables  & Connector

A cables and connector is used to connect computers to communicate each other. Therefore LAN cables (CAT 5 or CAT 6 cables) are connect with ethernet cards to share information with each computer.

Network OS

An Operating system is software that interfaces between computer hardware and computer users. Therefore in network operating systems, it has features like DNS configuration, Active Directory configurations, SQL management, etc,.

IP-Address (Internet Protocol)

Protocol (Set of  rules)

Printer

What is Printer? Another widely used output device is a printer and it is a computer peripheral device. A printer produces a hard copy of a processed text or a result. A hard copy refers to a permanent human-readable text or graphics taken on physical print media such as paper or transparency. A printer will use toner to provide a quality print on paper, a toner is a replaceable material. Once the toner gets empty we can refill it and reuse it.  Most of the printers are used for commercial purposes such as private offices, industries, government offices, photo studios, etc,. Most of the printers are used to print emails, documents, files, images, color photos, color documents, color posts, banners, advertisement posters, etc,. There are the following 5 types of printers such as dot matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, dye-sublimation printer, and plotter printer this are all the printer which uses nowadays for a printing purpose. A printer is characterized by the followin...

Dot Matrix Printer

What is Dot Matrix Printer? A dot matrix printer or impact matrix printer refers to a type of computer printers with a print head that contains a cluster of pins. The pins run back and front on the page and print by impact with striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against a paper similar to a typewriter. The Dot-matrix printers can print at a speed of 500 cps. Therefore a low-resolution dot matrix printers use 9 pins and a high-resolution dot matrix printer uses 24 pins. Then the low-resolution dot matrix is use to apply ink on the surface for layout.  In this a printer is able to print different patterns but not only the specific characters. Then a Dot-matrix printers are work as a non-impact method such as laser printers or inkjet printers where they also use the same process for printing. In this each dots produce by a wire or pin which is a tiny metal rod. The tiny electromagnet give the power to move forward directly small levers and a ribbon mask holder which facing the papers...

Interconnecting Devices

Interconnecting Devices An Interconnecting devices is a network device. It used to transfer data from one computer to other computer with the help of network devices. There are five categories of interconnecting devices are such as. Router  Hubs  Switches/Bridge  Repeater  BRouter Repeater: Now I am going to tell you the repeater is an electronic device that used to receive and send a signal. It amplifies the signal and noise. It provides transmission of the signal.  HUB (Hyper User Bus):  In this, it used to link several computers in the same network. It based on broadcasting, and it sends the data to all computers and repeats the signal which receives a signal from one port and copies to other port and traffic are high. Bridge / Switch:  In this, we can see the interconnecting devices which can divide a single network into two or more segment are called Bridge / Switch.  It has multiple ports like 2, 4, 16, and 32. The Switch main...
