This is a practical guide to implementing wireless networks for several key applications. It presents a range of solutions and provides photographs, schematics, charts and drawings to clarify key points. The subject covered is applicable to a wide range of networks including LANs, MANs, WANs and enterprise networks.
Managers and network personnel who are currently using FDDI, planning on using FDDI, or just want to keep up to date in this rapidly changing field will find, in this text, detailed coverage of the practical aspects of planning, installing, and managing a metropolitan area network (MAN) and local area network (LAN) using FDDI technology. FDDI networks are based on the token-ring protocol and transmit data 6 to 10 times faster than any other LAN standard. Emphasizing practicality, the author uses case studies to illustrate important management and implementation techniques and troubleshooting methods. The book details connection methodologies for high-story office buildings, multiple building campuses and distributed computing environments; as well as network operations requiring the 100 Mbits/s bandwidth, security features, and interoperability provided by FDDI. Readers will also find complete installation procedures for the mechanical components of FDDI networks; and complete troubleshooting techniques for isolating hardware, software, and network operating system problems.
This reference provides hands-on technical, financial and planning techniques to implement ISDN (Integrated Systems Digital Network) for residential or business purposes. It explains ISDN in the context of its most popular services: Internet connectivity, videoconferencing, telecommuting and "bandwidth on demand" plus all the facts on the strengths and limitations of ISDN.
Token ring is a popular protocol of choice in high-speed, high-volume networking. This guide offers a complete look at establishing a token-ring network in light of today's technological developments, corporate needs and management concerns. It covers such practical issues as safety factors, installation procedures, hardware and software choices, and debugging and testing. It then moves on to detail valuable troubleshooting techniques and network security and monitoring methods. Featured topics include available software applications developed specifically for token ring, FDDI and twisted-pair cabling, installation guidelines and how to cope with security and maintenance issues.
Martin Nemzow guides readers through sample installation and migration scenarios, including a small LAN, "typical" office, office building floor, and multiplebuilding site. He provides helpful advice on how to decipher the many compteing standards, wiring options, and infrastructure technologies. Readers also learn how to optimize Fast Ethernet networks after implementation.
This text provides a guide to understanding and relieving enterprise network bottlenecks, with accurate information on what can be optimized. It also features several paradigms for performance analysis modelling, and new insights into benchmarks and tuning. The CD-ROM accompanying the text features queueing model software, a collection of performance benchmark tools, analytical software, reference materials and a hypertext version of the book.
Completely revised to cover a fast Ethernet and other advances in LAN technology, this highly praised, bestselling handbook has helped thousands of Ethernet managers and administrators plan, install, expand, and troubleshoot their networks. Network expert Martin Nemzow has thoroughly updated this comprehensive guide.
