1. Home Networks & Connectivity

2. Lesson 1 - Home networking Objectives In this lesson you are learning about: reasons for having a home network wired and wireless methods of connecting devices in a network

3. Lesson 1 - Home networking Outcomes At the end of this lesson you will be able to: describe the benefits of a home network explain the benefits and drawbacks of wired versus wireless connections

4. Starter: Why have a home network? Here’s the Smith’s house. They have the usual digital devices in their home. What would be the advantages of connecting them all up?

5. Why have a home network? Home networks File sharing Printer / peripheral sharing Internet connection sharing Multi- player games Internet phone/ video call service Home entertain ment Streaming media

6. The Smiths want to be able to.... send files to the printer from any PC in the house access the internet from anywhere in the house play computer games with each other and with friends listen to music stored on the desktop PC in other rooms of the house apart from the study access files stored on any PC in the house irrespective of where they are stored watch films downloaded from the internet on the desktop PC on the TV in the lounge

7. Which Type of Network? WiFi Ethernet Powerline

9. Types of Network – Ethernet, Wireless or Powerline Ethernet – an Ethernet cable is the original way of connecting computers. The cable is connected to the computers network interface card (NIC’s) by plugs like telephones. Ethernet cards provide different speeds of connection.

10. Types of Network – Ethernet, Wireless or Powerline Wireless – WiFi - allow the computers/devices to communicate by radio or microwaves if they have wireless network cards installed. Wireless transmission can be affected by household appliances and walls and ceilings, performance is also distance sensitive and affected by the number of machines on the wireless network

11. Types of Network – Ethernet, Wireless or Powerline POWERLINE – uses the existing mains power circuit in the house to transmit the data around the house. As it uses the existing plug sockets, there is no need for new wiring or trailing wires, once the main Powerline connection is made by Ethernet to your router/hub.

12. Types of Network – Ethernet, Wireless or Powerline Can you use a mixture of the 3 different network methods? Yes you can – no problem – some things work better with wires eg printers, connected to the computer. Gaming is better using cable to connect as this is more reliable and faster. Laptop computers or Netbooks may work better connected wirelessly as they are then still portable. It is not uncommon to have a mixture of wired and wireless connections in a network in a home or workplace, e.g. cable to the printer and desktop computer, WiFi for on-the- go access Each device on a network needs to be uniquely identified within the network.

13. Wireless Networks: Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages Convenience Portability Easy to install as no wires or drilling required Health and safety – no trailing wires Easier to expand/add new devices Cheaper to expand Disadvantages Range Reliability Speed All affected by other household objects eg microwave, thermostat, walls, cordless phones, how many people using it Security Effect of radiation?

14. Wired Networks: Advantages and Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of Portability/convenience: limited to length of cables Health and safety – trailing wires Messy and can be expensive to expand Advantages Security Control over who accesses it Reliability Speed

15. How fast is the connection? It is the combination of BANDWIDTH and LATENCY that determines the performance of a network connection. BANDWIDTH measures the capacity of a connection – the volume of data that can pass trough and is expressed in bits per second( the more the better) LATENCY measures the speed of the connection and is expressed in milliseconds (The less time the better the connection Gaming involves transmitting large amounts of data making bandwidth important. It also requires a high speed of data transfer making latency important.

16. The networked home

17. What to do now: Over the next few weeks, you are going to produce a booklet about home networking with all the information someone would need to know. In Publisher, choose a Newsletter template, format as appropriate. Now using what you have learned today, add in the following information: 1.Explain why it is beneficial to set up a home network 2.Explain how each of the 3 types of network works with a suitable diagram/picture, and give the advantages and disadvantages of each type of network. 3.Find a picture of a house on the internet with a range of digital devices and explain, using it as an example, how someone could network this house.

18. Lesson 2 - Setting up a network Objectives In this lesson you will learning about: equipment needed to set up a home network how to set up a simple home network

19. Lesson 2 - Setting up a network Outcomes At the end of this lesson you will be able to: Explain how to set up a simple home network Explain the purpose of the components needed

20. Starter Complete e-knowledge check 3.6

21. Networking your home ComponentPurpose Modem (cabled) Translates the broadband signals carried over the phone/cable network into data signals your computer or home network can understand. Wireless router To connect your devices wirelessly to share an Internet connection. Might be the same device as the modem eg the Virgin Hub Ethernet router Needed if you want to connect more than two computers with an Ethernet cable and share a wired Internet connection Network adaptor/interface card Will probably be installed inside your device/computer already, allows the computer to connect to the network Wireless adaptor Each computer on your network will need one if they are connecting wirelessly as this makes the wireless connection. Many devices and laptops almost always have these built in Ethernet Switch or hub An Ethernet switch or hub sends network traffic to the correct destination on the network. You need a switch with at least one port for each computer. If you run out of ports on the switch you can connect switches together to add more ports. Ethernet/Network cable Required to connect each computer which will have a wired connection to the network Signal booster In case you have areas of your house where the wireless signal is weak, this helps boost the Wi-Fi signal in those areas

23. Setting up a network Log into Moodle >ICT>GCSE>Unit 1>Home Networks and open Home Network Scenarios. You should have 3 scenarios for home networks and the equipment available. Using clip art or other images, lines, any other symbols required to show the links between the devices, draw out the network solutions for each scenario. Discuss your ideas with a partner Annotate your design with an explanation of what you have done. Be prepared to share your solutions with the class at the end of the lesson.

24. The networked home

25. Practical Task 1 CARD 1: Sharing a Printer The Jones have one printer, which is in the study. They want to be able to print documents from any computer in the house, using the network. Using the equipment provided, set up a network which enables multiple computers to share a printer. Equipment: 2x PCs 1x Printer 1x Router (optionally with Wi-Fi support) 1x Printer server (optional) Ethernet cables (optional)

26. Practical Task 2 CARD 2: File sharing The Smiths often want to share files between different computers within the house. Sometimes they only need read access (such as playing music), other times they need full access (shared documents). Visitors to the Smith household may use the families internet access (via WiFi). Mr and Mrs Smith do not want visitors to be able to access any of their files. Using the equipment provided, set up a network which allows files to be accessed by different computers on the network. Demonstrate the different shared files can have different restrictions (read only, read/write, public, log-in required). Equipment: 2x PCs 1x Router (optionally with Wi-Fi) 1x External USB hard driver (optional) 1x External networked attached storage device (optional) Ethernet cables (optional)

27. Practical Task CARD 3: Internet sharing The Whites have a number of devices that connect to the internet. Each device uses the internet for different things. Some devices support WiFi, others require a cable connection. The devices include owned by the Whites include: The Whites would like all their devices to be able to use their broadband connection. Using the equipment provided, set up a suitable network which would allow connections by all these devices. Equipment: 1x Router/Switch 1x Cable or ADSL or 3G modem (if not integrated in the router/switch) Ethernet cables At least TWO of the following: 1x PC 1x laptop/netbook 1x WiFi capable phone 1x Ethernet enabled Blu-Ray disc or DVD player 1x WiFi/cable enable games console 1x tablet PC 1x media streaming device (e.g. AppleTV)

28. Homework 1 For each piece of equipment on the worksheet, explain what it does within a home network. Due:

29. Lesson 3 - Home networking security Objectives In this lesson you are learning about: network security measures

30. Lesson 3 - Home networking security Outcomes At the end of this lesson you will be able to: describe security measures that should be taken to prevent unauthorised access to a home network

31. Wireless network security Wireless networks are less secure than cabled ones. When you connect your own network, you may be able to see the networks of your neighbours. In a public place, you can see available networks you could connect to. The network dialog box also shows: signal strength, security, type of encryption, SSID name

32. Why protect your network? You wouldn’t allow a stranger into your home to help themselves to your gas, electricity, water, telephone for free so you need to make sure your wireless network is not freely available to your neighbours or anyone passing your house! They could access your private data on your network, simply steal bandwidth slowing down your connection, use up your data allowance or they might be using your internet connection for illegal reasons, such as downloading copyright material. The earliest attempt at WiFi security, Wired Equivalent Protocol, or WEP, was very easy to hack. WiFi Protected Access (WPA) and in particular WPA2 (which features tough encryption) has improved security greatly. BUT lots of people sill have unprotected or weakly protected wireless networks

33. How to protect your network Change the default SSID (Service Set Identifier or network name) on your router. The default SSIDs of common network hardware eg NETGEAR or DLINK are well known to hackers and suggest an insecure network worth trying to hack! Your SSID ideally should not contain information that would give away your company name or location eg MissWatsonsModem. Without fail you should also change the administrator's password/phrase provided with your router. Hackers know the default passwords for all of the major brands of hardware and if you don’t change your SSID they could easily remotely access your connection. Passwords have to be a minimum of eight characters long, but the longer the better (as long as you can remember it), random, mixed numbers/letters/characters.

34. How to protect your network Turn on (Compatible) WPA / WEP Encryption - All Wi-Fi equipment supports some form of encryption. Encryption technology scrambles messages sent over wireless networks so that they cannot be easily read by humans. Several encryption technologies exist for Wi-Fi today. Always turn on the highest level of security your hardware supports. Use WPA or better still WPA2 encryption if it's available.Turn on (Compatible) WPA / WEP Encryption Disable SSID Broadcast - In Wi-Fi networking, the wireless access point or router typically broadcasts the network name (SSID) over the air at regular intervals. This feature was designed for businesses and mobile hotspots but in the home, this is unnecessary so find out how to disable the SSID broadcast featureDisable SSID Broadcast Enable Firewalls On Each Computer and the Router Position the Router/Hub Safely - Wi-Fi signals normally reach to the exterior of a home. A small amount of signal leakage outdoors is not a problem, but the further this signal reaches, the easier it is for others to detect and exploit.Position the Router/Hub Safely Do Not Auto-Connect to Open Wi-Fi Networks Connecting to an open Wi-Fi network such as a free wireless hotspot or your neighbour's router exposes your computer to security risks. Turn Off the Network During Extended Periods of Non-Use eg when on holidayTurn Off the Network During Extended Periods of Non-Use One-touch set up - Some routers from the main providers have a 'one-touch' WiFi Protected Setup but this has recently been found to contain security weaknesses.

35. What to do now Open the booklet your started about home networks earlier this week/last week. Add into this a detailed section on home network security: Why protect your network How to protect your network – lots of hints and tips, include pic of wi-fi connection dialog box and back of router showing default details

37. Internet Service Providers

38. Learning objectives By the end of these lessons you will be able to: define the terms concerning Internet access explain these terms to a new user explain the criteria for selecting an Internet service provider use the criteria to assess different providers

39. In mid-2013, 43.6 million adults (86%) in the UK had used the Internet. 7.1 million adults (14%) had never used the Internet. Men (88%) were more likely to be Internet users than women (84%). By region, London and the South East had the highest proportion of Internet users (89%); Northern Ireland the lowest (79%). In mid-2013, 43.6 million adults (86%) in the UK had used the Internet. 7.1 million adults (14%) had never used the Internet. Men (88%) were more likely to be Internet users than women (84%). By region, London and the South East had the highest proportion of Internet users (89%); Northern Ireland the lowest (79%).

40. Starter On one side of your white board, list as many advantages of having fast internet access as you can think of. On the other, list as many disadvantages of NOT having fast internet access

41. How do internet services work? Internet services are provided in two ways: broadband narrowband – usually called dial-up. Broadband technologies provide much faster connection to the internet so most people in the UK use broadband. However, broadband is not available in some rural areas and is more expensive. This means some people still use dial-up internet services. The Government has set a target that everyone in the UK will be able to access broadband by 2015. Broadband can be delivered to your home via: ADSL - broadband service provided over the telephone network by an internet service provider (ISP). Cable - about half the households in the UK have access to cable broadband. These fibre optic connections provide the fastest broadband. Mobile - where you use broadband through a special mobile device or dongle.

42. What else do ISP provide? Internet service Providers don’t just provide internet access. They may also provide: Email Web hosting – so you can have your own website Online / cloud storage

43. Factors affecting choice of ISP When choosing a broadband package you need to think about: Price – make sure you check all the costs involved Speed – don’t pay for a fast connection speed you won’t need Usage – how much data will you need to use every month: is it enough or too much? Contract – check the length of the contract and the renewal terms.

44. Price When choosing a internet provider, check all the costs involved: the monthly subscription any one-off connection the costs of any equipment you might need to buy such as a modem/router or dongle what is included in the package and whether you’d use it, e.g. email accounts or space for your own website whether there are extra charges for paying by means other than direct-debit the costs of getting technical help – for example whether you have to use a premium rate phone line think about how long the contract is and about whether you want to commit to a provider for a long time.

45. Connection Speeds The faster the speed of your broadband service the more expensive it will be. What you are going to use the internet for will help you decide how fast you need your service to be: The more you use the internet to download music or films, the faster the speed you’ll probably need. If you use the internet only for light internet surfing and emailing, you won’t need a more expensive package with fast download speeds. Y Your broadband package will have a headline speed – for example 8 megabits per second. However, you might not get this speed all the time and there has been some controversy about the advertised speed only rarely being available in some cases where very fast speeds are advertised. Speeds are affected by things like how far you live from your local telephone exchange so check with providers the maximum speed you’re likely to get.

46. Usage limits Many broadband packages have a fixed amount of data that you can use every month. As with the speed, you need to think about how much you will actually need – don’t pay for more than you need! If you only use the internet for email and internet surfing then these limits probably won’t affect you. But if you use the internet to download music or TV programmes then they might. Some providers charge you extra if you go over your monthly usage limit. Think about whether you are likely to go over the usage limit and check what happens if you do.

47. Other services on offer Bundles A bundle is when you buy a combination of packages from one provider eg internet and phone, or internet, phone and a television package. These can work out cheaper, as you sometimes get a good deal for the bundle compared to buying each separately but it is always worth checking! Again you don’t want to pay for 300 digital TV channels you are never going to watch! Mobile Broadband You could decide to choose mobile broadband instead of a service that’s linked to your home. Mobile broadband connects to the internet using a small dongle which you plug into your computer or a SIM which you insert into your tablet, or your phone becomes your hotspot for internet connection using the phone network. It can be easy to use and allows you to access the internet outside your home, and is widely used by business.

52. The Internet has changed the way people go about their daily lives. Almost three quarters of adults in Great Britain used the Internet everyday (73%) in 2013, with 6 out of every 10 adults (61%) using a mobile phone or portable computer to access the Internet 'on the go'. In 2013, more people than ever before used the Internet for reading newspapers or magazines (55%), to access their bank accounts (50%), to seek health information (43%) or to buy groceries (21%).

53. Compare what’s on offer You may already have internet at home, and it may be part of a “bundle” with other services such as TV and phone. Imagine your parents are at the end of their current contract and want to find out what else is available. Do some research to find out what is available at your postcode with different providers such as Virgin Media, BT, Sky, TalkTalk, PlusNet. Get some prices for internet only, and then bundled packages. You can either go onto the ISP websites or compare easily using sites such as: http://www.moneysupermarket.com/broadband/ http://www.comparethemarket.com/broadband http://www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/ http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/ 1.Complete the table from Moodle>ICT>GCSE>Unit 1>Home Networks>Comparing ISP for my family.

56. Starter Key words recap On your white board, write a definition of: ISP Broadband Bandwidth Latency

57. A sizable increase in daily computer use, by age, in the past seven years has been for adults aged 65 and over. In 2006, just 9% reported that they used a computer every day, this compares to 37% in 2013. In 2013, 21 million households in Great Britain had an Internet connection. This represented 83% of households, up from 80% in 2012 and 57% in 2006. There were 4 million households in Great Britain without Internet access in 2013, compared with 10 million in 2006.

58. IP addresses An IP address – the Internet Protocol address – is the personal address of your computer, a bit like your home address. This enables the data you have requested (eg when you type in a web address or do a search) to be sent to the correct address Your ISP will issue you/your family with an IP address which is used externally on their internet. Each computer/device within your home will also need an internal IP address so they can communicate with each other and with the router in your house. The router assigns each computer with an internal IP address so it knows where to send the web pages/content being looked at.

59. IP Filtering So, we know that every computer which is connected to the Internet is assigned an IP (Internet Protocol) address, which is more or less a unique identity of the computer (or the computer network). The IP address is a combination of numbers and the numbers are assigned in blocks of numbers per country. Through the IP address it is therefore possible to determine the country (and other location data) of web visitors. By using an IP filtering service you can allow or block visitors based on several methods - Country filtering, custom IP filtering. For instance if you want - for some reason - that only UK based visitors can reach your website (eg BBC iPlayer, National Lottery), then you have to check the IP address of each visitor and lookup their country in the IP - Country database, and if their country is on your filter list, you block this visitor.

60. Filtering and Parental Controls Filtering can also be used to keep users off certain websites! For example: Games sites and social networking in schools and offices – to avoid time wasting by both pupils, teachers and employees in businesses Restrict children to age appropriate websites in the home: ISP have “parental controls” built into their security so that you can filter and block millions of websites based on how suitable they are to your child, and it constantly updates to stop any unsuitable sites slipping through the net. You will need to create a create a Windows User Account for each person in your home and then configure the ISP security settings to fit the age of your children eg a more relaxed profile for an older child, stop kids using the web at certain times (perhaps when it’s past their bedtime) or specific sites (like Facebook and YouTube) when they’re meant to be doing their homework!

61. ISP Tasks 1.Complete e-task 3.8 – ISP terminology 2.Complete e-plenary 3.3 – which type of ISP is most suitable for the different users? 3.Open the leaflet you have been working on about home networking.

A home entertainment network Outcomes At the end of this lesson you will be able to: explain what a home entertainment system is and what it is used for identify components/features of a home entertainment system and explain their purpose select devices/features of home entertainment systems to meet specified needs on-demand entertainment services

66. Starter Home of the Future video: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technolo gy-23466964http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technolo gy-23466964

67. Do some research and design a home entertainment system to meet these needs – or your own dream entertainment system! Budget is not a problem! You need to produce a “Proposal” in which you put pictures of your chosen devices, prices, details of the spec and how you intend to connect everything together. You need to make sure everything is compatible. watch digital television and films in high definition (or ultra HD) and in 3D on a huge TV turn the living room into a home cinema with amazing surround sound record programmes so that they can watch them when it’s convenient catch up with programmes they forgot to record download films from the internet and watch them on the TV and other devices round the house play computer games on the TV and with each other around the house, using motion detecting peripherals view photos and home movies on the TV’s big screen but also access these from elsewhere in the house Have a voice activated TV which shows content appropriate for the viewer Access music on all devices everywhere in the house so a media streaming devi ce may be required eg Apple TV Create a home entertainment system

68. Plenary Remind students of the lesson objectives. Ask them to jot down five features of a home entertainment system that make it suitable for the Smiths. Ask them to give one possible positive and one negative impact of the home entertainment system on the family.

69. Home entertainment network - 2 Objectives In this lesson you are learning about: on-demand entertainment services components and features of home entertainment systems

70. Home entertainment network - 2 Outcomes At the end of this lesson you will be able to: explain the difference between streaming and downloading apply understanding of home entertainment systems to exam questions

71. Starter: On demand How can we watch TV programmes and films ‘on demand’?

72. On demand

73. Video Streaming Streaming = content is sent in compressed form over the internet and displayed by the viewer in real time. You need a special program known as a player that uncompresses the data. Advantages : you don’t have to wait to download a file to play it or have enough room to store it, can pause and rewind, watch whenever you want. Disadvantages : reliant on a reliable and fast internet connection, may be slow to buffer/play Using streaming technology you can watch live TV and listen to radio stations but you need a TV license to watch live TV!

74. Downloading Downloading = save the film/music to your own computer Advantages: don’t need to be online to watch it Disadvantages: takes up storage space, could be illegal!

75. Download responsibly Avoid Peer-to-Peer file sharing – breaks copyright Avoid free sites – free ones may break copyright eg Limewire Check the download conditions some may have Digital Rights Management software (DRM) DRM allows the copyright holder/owner of media to control how many times the media is viewed/played/copied and even which devices the media is played on Use reputable sites – eg iTunes, Tesco, Sainsbury's, HMV Check the reliability of the site to ensure it is legal, will give you a high quality file, no risk from spyware/viruses

81. ICT and the Law You need to know about 3 laws covering the use and misuse of ICT

82. You need to know about: The Data Protection Act The Copyright Act The Computer Misuse Act

83. The principles of Data Protection Everyone has the ‘right to privacy’ (i.e. no one wants to have their personal details - medical, financial, educational, political - available to anyone). Because computerised databases often hold such data about people, they have to be protected from misuse.

84. What is personal data? Personal data covers both facts and opinions about the individual. It also includes information regarding the intentions of the data controller towards the individual, although in some limited circumstances exemptions will apply. With processing, the definition is far wider than before. For example, it incorporates the concepts of 'obtaining', holding' and 'disclosing'.

85. What is sensitive personal data? Sensitive personal data may not – in normal circumstances – be disclosed. It includes: – Information about a subject’s racial or ethnic origins. – Information about a subject’s religious or political beliefs. – Information about a subject’s physical or mental health. – Information about a subject’s criminal record or allegations of criminal activity.

86. The eight Principles of Data Protection – Data must be: 1.Fairly and lawfully processed. 2.Processed for limited purposes. 3.Adequate, relevant and not excessive. 4.Accurate. 5.Not kept longer than necessary. 6.Processed in accordance with the data subject's rights. 7.Secure. 8.Not transferred to countries without adequate protection.

87. The Data Protection Act The eight principles are enforced in the UK by Act of Parliament. This is the DATA PROTECTION ACT (1998). They also form part of the FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (2000). The person in charge of making sure that both Acts are enforced is the INFORMATION REGISTRAR (formerly the DATA PROTECTION REGISTRAR).

88. A person’s rights under the Data Protection Act Everyone has the right to see any personal details held on a computer or paper-based data system. Everyone also has the right to see a description of the data that is held about them. Everyone also has the right to know why data is about them is held. A person can request a copy of this information.
