1 Course Name: Information Systems Strategy - MS2 Module: 8 Module Title: Managing telecommunications and networks Lectures and handouts by: Brian Friedrich, MEd, CGA, FCCA(UK) Laura Friedrich, MSc, CGA, FCCA(UK) Module 8 - Table of Contents Part Content Overview of telecommunications and Network basics (8.1 & 8.3) Strategic uses of telecommunications and trends in network management (8.2 & 8.4) Network security issues (8.5) Planning and managing wireless networks (8.6) Remote computing management issues (8.7) Assignment 3 tips 2 Seven basic communications model elements: Sender and Receiver Encoder and Decoder Channel Message and Noise 3 1
2 Compare the different channels used in telecommunications networks (Level 1). Two types of signals: Digital - streams of 0s and 1s Electrical pulses Computer data Analog - continuous waves Voice Traditional cable television 4 The functions of a modem Modulation - converting digital signal to analog (e.g., to send message from computer across network to Internet) Demodulation - converting analog signal to digital (e.g., to receive message from Internet across network to computer) Mo Dem 5 Telecommunications channels can be divided into two groups: 1. Wired (conducted) Twisted pair - e.g., telephone wire, Ethernet Coaxial cable - e.g., television cable Fibre optic USB, FireWire 6 2
3 2. Wireless (radiated) Different functions naturally occupy, or are assigned, different ranges within the electromagnetic spectrum AM/FM radio Microwave Satellite relay Cellular phones, pagers Infrared - e.g., remote controls Bluetooth devices - e.g., PDAs 7 Choosing between Wired and Wireless Factors to consider Cost Speed/bandwidth Expandability/Scalability Security Durability Distance 8 Wired Generally higher transmission rates More secure (especially fibre optics) More durable Greater distances - less attenuation Higher cost, requires more resources to install and maintain 9 3
4 Wireless Lower transmission rates Less secure, less reliable Generally local in reach Convenient access Less expensive to set-up and maintain 10 Explain the purpose of communication protocols and list the most common protocols in use of today (Level 1). Telecommunications protocols are the rules and procedures that govern the transportation and communication of information and data. Telecommunications protocols will: identify check for errors notify correct errors verify 11 In order for two devices to communicate they must use the same protocols. Most common protocol is TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), which is used by the Internet. 12 4
5 OSI reference model Models network communications by using 7 theoretical layers At each layer, protocols guide the packaging of the message which is then passed to the next layer Allows developers to treat layers that are irrelevant to their product as a black box Makes communication and development of network solutions easier 13 Distinguish between the different ways of classifying networks and the kinds of networks that these approaches describe (Level 1). Networks can be defined by: Ownership Geography Topology Protocol 14 Ownership Private: all of the components of the network are owned and controlled by single entity Public: may be owned by a single organization but are used to provide infrastructure and services to other organizations or the public Combination of public and private may be used 15 5
6 Geography LAN (local area network) - covers a department or a building WAN (wide area network) - covers a few kilometers to full continents MAN (metropolitan area network) - backbone for a city or municipality GAN (global area network) - spans the globe 16 Topology (or structure) Star - all communication passes through central host Bus - all messages broadcasted to all network computers on a single circuit; messages travel in both directions Ring - messages travel in one direction from computer to computer; circuit forms closed loop Physical connection may differ from logical functioning 17 Protocol or Network services Internet is a TCP/IP network Most LANs can be defined as TCP/IP networks and as Ethernet networks Services include message management such as packet switching, frame relay, and ATM Services could also refer to Internet access technology type such as ISDN, DSL, T1, cablemodem, or dial-up 18 6
7 Assess the benefits and limitations of a networked system (Level 1). Benefits of networking Communications Sharing data Sharing network resources Centralized administration 19 Assess the benefits and limitations of a networked system (Level 1).
