Performing a Network Installation
Installing the network
Network installation requires a lot of planning. Some measures to consider include the requirements and ensuring things like business growth and technology growth are taken into consideration as this will ensure that the new infrastructure will support the business now as well as in the future and ensure that it is adaptable to any new technology development.
To kick-start the process, below is a list of things that need to be assessed:
1. Usage requirements - (user access (individual/shared computer)) as well as whether remote network access will be required via VPN.
2. User input - different users will have different needs for the system, so try to incorporate them into the network plan, determining any additional costs that will be incurred as well as additional implementation time.
3. Future Planning - the direction of the business for the future (maybe in 3-5 years time), factors that will affect the network needs (e.g. more staff, remote working, software installations) to ensure a cost effective and useful network implementation.
4. Network Management ? A defined network means hiring a network manager. Availability of internal resources to maintain the network will determine if an external IT support company is required. If required then try incorporating remote network administration tools so that most problems are solved quicker remotely, reducing system downtime.
5. Security Issues ? Build security features into the network, including firewalls, password & virus protection as well as data encryption techniques.
Other things to consider include information management including standardized naming conventions for files and folders stored on the server as well as definition of rules for creating new files and folders. Staff training programs can also be developed to ensure that all staff are making full use of the network and its time saving, productivity enhancing features.
Pre-Installation ? Network Checklist
The main things to consider when a new network installation or upgrade is being considered is to Plan, Plan and Plan some more. I can't stress how important the planning aspect is. Planning will help you to answer major questions looking at the number of people using the network (local/on-site/remote), the number of computers connecting to the network, etc.
It will also allow you to determine network hardware requirements, looking at network supports and availability of network points to connect additional devices (e.g. printers). It will then help you determine which type of network topology to use and if the workstations can support this. Another important aspect of planning is security features and contingency such as back-up measures in case of network failure.
Finally, network support services will also need to be considered to ensure that the users of the network have some form of technical support contact and receive training in how to use the services on the network. Planning can also help reduce system downtime and network crashes, to ensure a smooth transition into a networked environment with minimal disruption to the workforce.

For use in a Transition Point System Chassis. With Transition Networks fullfeatured 100BASETX to 100BASEFX Media Converters costeffective integration of twisted pair and fiber optics in Fast Ethernet networks is easier than ever before. Deploy fiber in a strategic and economical manner by using Fast Ethernet converters. Fast Ethernet converters can extend distances that copper cannot reach. Converters can be used in conjunction with lower cost copper based equipment to extend fiber to remote users. Round trip delay of only 40 bit timesfar below the Class II rating of 92 bit times. AutoNegotiation (802.3u) Allows devices to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. AutoCross Automatically detects and configures the twisted pair port on the converter to the correct MDI or MDIX configuration. Link Pass Through Link Pass Through is a troubleshooting feature that allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal. Far End Fault (FEF) A troubleshooting feature that is generally used in conjunction with Link Pass Through to notify both end devices of a loss of link. Automatic Link Restoration Transition Networks converters will automatically reestablish link in all network conditions. Pause (IEEE 802.3xy) Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. Remote Firmware Upgrade Point System Chassis Can be used with any Point System Chassis. Reporting Features: Report converter status to chassis management software: TP Link status Fiber Link status Hardware switch settings Fault TP cable length Write operation includes: Power on/off device Full or halfduplex Pause |
