1. For the purpose of this Unit, setting-up a simple Local Area Network is discussed
2. Different networking equipments are needed to set-up a network. These are Router, Switch, CAT-5 cable,
etc.
3. A network printer can be shared with the entire network or a computer printer can be shared with other
computers in the network
4. Troubleshooting of a network failure was also discussed
Assignments
Draw a map of the computer network at your telecentre. Show all computers, switches, routers, servers and
network printers. Show how they connect to each other and to the Internet.
Add a network or shared printer to a computer in a computer network.
Practice using the help files on a computer or online searches to address network problems.
