3.3 Data Networks

Overview Identify the main differences between LAN and WAN. Identify the advantages of using a network over stand-alone computers. Describe the function of a range of network resources: network interface card, network cables, switch, router. Describe the need for network communication.

LAN Local Area Network Covers a small geographical area

WAN Wide Area Network Covers a wide geographical area

Network v Stand-alone Network Shared peripherals Easier communication Usually cheaper software via licences Files can be accessed from any computer Software easier to install in bulk Better monitoring of security Stand-alone Usually more expensive due to attached peripherals Software has to be installed on each machine

Network interface card A card that is slotted into a computer motherboard that allows other computers to connect to it.

Switch A hardware device that acts as a single point to connect a group of computers. Each computer, including the server, has cables connected to the switch. The switch organises the communication between the computers.

Router A hardware device which connects two or more networks together. It works out the best route for each packet of data to travel along. A router is needed to send and receive data from the Internet to a computer.
