QUALIFICATION TITLE : COMPUTER SYSTEMS SERVICING NC II
UNIT OF COMPETENCY : SET-UP COMPUTER NETWORKS
UNIT DESCRIPTOR
This unit covers the outcomes required in setting-up computers networks for LANs and small-office home-
office (SOHO) systems. It consists of competencies to install network cables, set network configuration, set
router/Wi-Fi/ wireless access point/repeater configuration as well as to inspect and test the configured
computer networks.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
1. To be able to identify various classification of network systems.
2. To be able to explain the basic network categories.
A server is the computer on the network that manages the network resources,
such as the shared files, programs and printers.
Types of Networks
4. Any network computer that connects to and request resources from a network.
a. Host
b. Peers
c. Network Server
d. Workstation
Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1.) Identify the different kinds of tools needed on networking
2.) Know the functions on each devices
3.) Know the proper handling of different tools and materials
4.) Familiarize the uses of different tools and materials.
Crimping tool
To use this crimping tool, each wire is first placed into the connector. Once all the wires are in
the jack, the connector with wires are placed into the crimping tool, and the handles are
squeezed together. Crimping makes the plastic connector puncture and hold each of the wires,
which prevents the wires from falling out and for data to be transmitted from the connector to
Cable tester
A cable tester is a device that is used to test the strength
HUB
Networks using a Star topology require a central point
for the devices to connect. Originally this device was
called a concentrator since it consolidated the cable
runs from all network devices. The basic form of
concentrator is the hub.
Switches
Bridges
A bridge is used to join two network segments together, it allows computers on either segment to access
resources on the other. They can also be used to divide large networks into smaller segments. Bridges
have all the features of repeaters, but can have more nodes, and since the network is divided, there is
fewer computers competing for resources on each segment thus improving network performance.
Bridges can also connect networks that run at different speeds, different topologies, or different protocols.
But they cannot, join an Ethernet segment with a Token Ring segment, because these use different
networking standards. Bridges operate at both the Physical Layer and the MAC sublayer of the Data Link
layer. Bridges read the MAC header of each frame to determine on which side of the bridge the
destination device is located, the bridge then repeats the transmission to the segment where the device is
located.
Router
Every networked computer must also have a network adapter driver, which controls the network adapter.
Each network adapter driver is configured to run with a certain type of network adapter.
