Реферат: How To Design A Network Essay Research

The main points of concern when dealing with the printer configuration are reliability and

accessibility. Reliability is centered around quality and effeciency. Top quality network printers

are expensive but sometimes are not the best choice. Speed of output, such as papers per

minute, play a big role in choosing a network printer. Printers that are easy to get to and easy to

service are a key to a successful network. I personally can not stand to walk into a lab and have

to hunt where the printers are and have to wait for someone to remove a jammed paper. The lab

on the second floor of the Belk building is a good example. An excellent example of a good

configuration is in Forsyth. The printers are easily seen and easily worked on. The printers

separate the two main islands of workstations which allow for effecient management.

This system will be of considerable size and area. It will require constant monitoring and any

on-line maintenance will be in the form of a supervisor or network administrator. This designated

person or person’s will need to be very knowledgable in all the system’s hardware and software.

For example CAN certified would be an excellent standard for consideration. The person or

person’s would have to be a full time faculty member in the College of Business. I feel that having

a daily interaction with the system and the users would prove to be very helpful in comparison to

having someone called in to diagnose and solve the problems. Outside consultants are usually

expensive and are most of the time are not worth it.

The load placed upon the system will vary at times. Classes are going to have a conflict in

assignment due dates and everyone is going to rush to the lab to finish their assignments.

However I think that most of the time there will be a slight to moderate load placed on the

system. Most students bounce in to check their mail or to send a quick message anyway. Sitting

down and writing a program in one session is impossible any, so that will reduce the load in itself.

Login scripts for each user need to be simple. Allowing students to write their own should

not even be considered. Each student should have the same format and be placed at the same

starting point each time that they login. Alloting a specific number of search drives and network

drivers would definitly reduce problems. Students should be required to change their passwords

periodically. The system login scripts could execute certain commands for each different users,

faculty and students. These are just a few areas within the entire Technical Design process that
