After the installation of your network driver, you are ready to configure your
network. To configure the network of your PC, Right-click on your network
connection. You'll see this in your System Tray. If you are connecting your
computers through a switch with no router, you'll need to assign each
computer on the network its own individual IP address. This process is handled
automatically if you're using a router. Think of an IP address as a mailing
address. Each computer on the network needs a unique IP address so that
information sent across the network reaches the correct destination.

Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you should be able to:
1. To identify What is Local Area Network
2. To acquire knowledge in Configuring Local Area Network
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices
that share a common communications line or wireless link to a server.
Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a server
within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial
establishment. Computers and other mobile devices use a LAN connection to
share resources such as a printer or network storage.

A Personal Computer (PC) is a multi-
purpose electronic computer whose size,
capabilities, and price make it feasible for
individual use. PCs are intended to be
operated directly by an end user, rather
than by a computer expert or technician.
Ethernet cables are networking
hardware used to connect one network
device to other network devices or to
connect two or more computers to
share printers, scanners etc. Different
types of network cables, such as coaxial
cable, optical fiber cable, and twisted
pair cables, are used depending on the
network's physical layer, topology, and
size. The devices can be separated by a
few meters (e.g. via Ethernet) or nearly
unlimited distances (e.g. via the
interconnections of the Internet).
Router/Hub/Switch is a way stations
that control the traffic of data within a
network, assigns a unique IP Address to
each computer.

Modem is a device that send, receives,
and translates information from the
internet and makes it available within the
Local Area Network
When Equipments and Peripherals are all ready, we will now proceed on
Installing and Configuring Local Area Network. Below are steps in configuring
Local Area Network.
1. Prepare your Workplace
It must be clean and dry. Work on a spacious table. If necessary
work with your PPE. Do not forget to apply the OHS policies and
procedures.
2. Determine the number of computers you want to connect. The
number of computers you're connecting will determine the type of
network hardware you'll need.
 If you are connecting four or less computers, you'll just need
a single router or one switch if you don't need internet.
 If you're connecting more than four computers, you'll want
a router and a switch, or just a switch if you don't need
internet.
3. Determine your network layout.
If you’re installing a permanent LAN solution, you'll want to keep
cable length in mind. CAT5 Ethernet cables should not run longer

than 250 feet. If you need to cover larger distances, you'll need
switches at regular intervals, or you'll need to use CAT6 cables.
a. You'll need one Ethernet cable for each computer you want to
connect to the LAN, as well as an Ethernet cable to connect the
router to the switch (if applicable).
4. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into your computer. Make sure
you're using an Ethernet cable (RJ45), not a telephone cable.
5. Plug the other end of the cable into an open LAN port. This can be
any open LAN port on either the router or the switch, depending on
your LAN setup.
6. Reset the Router. In resetting your Router just click the small button
on the back of your router using a Pin or Ballpen and wait until all
the icons in front of the Router will Lights on. See figure below.

Configure Wide Area Network (ACCESS POINT)
Learning Objective:
1. To identify What is Wide Area Network
2. To acquire knowledge in Configuring Wide Area Network
A wide area network (WAN) is a telecommunications network or computer
network that extends over a large geographical distance. Wide area networks
are often established with leased telecommunication circuits.
Business, education and government entities use wide area networks to
relay data to staff, students, clients, buyers, and suppliers from various
locations across the world. In essence, this mode of telecommunication allows
a business to effectively carry out its daily function regardless of location.
The Internet may be considered a WAN.
Configure Wide Area Network
As we gather all the peripherals and equipment needed we will proceed
on Configuring Wide Area Network. Same process with Router but this time we
will use Modem or the Access Point. See steps listed below:
1. Gather your Modem, Ethernet Cable and Personal Computer. Connect
each peripheral using the Ethernet Cable. Directly connect Modem to

Learning Objective:
1. To identify what is Wireless Network?
2. To enumerate steps in Configuring Wireless Settings
A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data
connections between network nodes.
Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications
networks and business installations avoid the costly process of introducing
cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment
locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented
and administered using radio communication.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) links two or more devices over a short
distance using a wireless distribution method, usually providing a connection
through an access point for internet access. The use of spread-
spectrum or OFDM technologies may allow users to move around within a local
coverage area, and still remain connected to the network.
Products using the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards are marketed under
the Wi-Fi brand name. Fixed wireless technology implements point-to-
point links between computers or networks at two distant locations, often
using dedicated microwave or modulated laser light beams over line of

sight paths. It is often used in cities to connect networks in two or more
buildings without installing a wired link.
Configure wireless settings
After configuring the Router and Modem we will now proceed on setting
up the wireless network.
1. First, we need to check whether you have a wireless adapter.
a. Select the Start button, type Device Manager in the search
box, and then select Device Manager.
b. Expand Network adapters.
c. Look for a network adapter that might have wireless in the name.

2. Setting up the modem and Internet connection
After you have all the equipment, you'll need to set up your modem and
Internet connection. If your modem wasn't set up for you by your Internet
service provider (ISP), follow the instructions that came with your modem to
connect it to your PC and the Internet. If you're using Digital Subscriber Line
(DSL), connect your modem to a phone jack. If you’re using cable, connect your
modem to a cable jack.
3. Positioning the wireless router
Put your wireless router somewhere where it will receive the strongest
signal with the least amount of interference. For better results, follow
these tips:
a. Place your wireless router in a central location. Place the router
as close to the center of your home as possible to increase the
strength of the wireless signal throughout your home.
b. Position the wireless router off the floor and away from walls
and metal objects, such as metal file cabinets. The fewer physical
obstructions between your PC and the router's signal, the more
likely that you'll be using the router's full signal strength.
Securing your wireless network
Security is always important; with a wireless network, it's even more important
because your network's signal could be broadcast outside your home. If you

don't help secure your network, people with PCs nearby could access info
stored on your network PCs and use your Internet connection.
To help make your network more secure:
Change the default user name and password. This helps protect your router.
Most router manufacturers have a default user name and password on the
router and a default network name (also known as the SSID). Someone could
use this info to access your router without you knowing it. To help avoid that,
change the default user name and password for your router. See
the documentation for your device for instructions.
Set up a security key (password) for your network. Wireless networks have a
network security key to help protect them from unauthorized access. We
recommend using Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) security if your router
supports it. See the documentation for your router for more detailed info,
including what type of security is supported and how to set it up.
Some routers support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). If your router supports
WPS and its connected to the network, follow these steps to set up a network
security key:
1. Select the Start button, look for Control Panel and click Network and
Internet. Then look for Network and Sharing Center.

The wizard will walk you through creating a network name and a security key.
If your router supports it, the wizard will default to Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA or WPA2) security. We recommend that you use WPA2, because it offers
better security than WPA or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security. With
WPA2 or WPA you can also use a passphrase, so you don’t have to remember a
cryptic sequence of letters and numbers.
Write down your security key and keep it in a safe place. You can also save
your security key on a USB flash drive by following the instructions in the
wizard. (Saving your security key to a USB flash drive is available in Windows 8
and Windows 7, but not in Windows 10.)
Connect a PC to your wireless network
1. Select the Network or icon in the notification area.
2. In the list of networks, choose the network that you want to connect to,
and then select Connect.
3. Type the security key (often called the password).
4. Follow additional instructions if there are any.

Setting Up Firewall with Advanced Security
Learning Objective:
1. To identify What is Firewall with Advanced Security
2. To enumerate steps in Configuring Firewall with Advanced Security
The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is a tool which gives you
detailed control over the rules that are applied by the Windows Firewall. You
can view all the rules that are used by the Windows Firewall, change their
properties, create new rules or disable existing ones. In this tutorial we will
share how to open the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, how to find
your way around it and talk about the types of rules that are available and
what kind of traffic they filter.
A firewall is hardware or software that can help protect your PC
from unauthorized users or malicious software (malware). Running a firewall
on each PC on your network can help control the spread of malicious software
on your network, and help protect your PCs when you're accessing the
Internet. Windows Firewall is included with this version of Windows.
Setting Up Firewall with Advanced Security
You have several alternatives to opening the Windows Firewall with Advanced
Security:

5. What Are The Inbound & Outbound Rules?
a. In order to provide the security you need, the Windows Firewall has a
standard set of inbound and outbound rules, which are enabled
depending on the location of the network you are connected to.
b. Inbound rules are applied to the traffic that is coming from the network
and the Internet to your computer or device. Outbound rules apply to the
traffic from your computer to the network or the Internet.
c. These rules can be configured so that they are specific to: computers,
users, programs, services, ports or protocols. You can also specify to
which type of network adapter (e.g. wireless, cable, virtual private
network) or user profile it is applied to.
d. In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, you can access all rules
and edit their properties. All you have to do is click or tap the
appropriate section in the left-side panel.

6. The rules used by the Windows Firewall can be enabled or disabled. The
ones which are enabled or active are marked with a green check-box in
the Name column. The ones that are disabled are marked with a gray
check-box.
7. If you want to know more about a specific rule and learn its properties,
right click on it and select Properties or select it and press Properties in
the column on right, which lists the actions that are available for your
selection.

8. In the Properties window, you will find complete information about the
selected rule, what it does and in when it is applied. You will also be able
to edit its properties and change any of the available parameters.
9. What Are The Connection Security Rules?
a. Connection security rules are used to secure traffic between two
computers while it crosses the network. One example would be a rule
which defines that connections between two specific computers must be
encrypted.

b. Unlike the inbound or outbound rules, which are applied only to one
computer, connection security rules require that both computers have
the same rules defined and enabled.
c. If you want to see if there are any such rules on your computer, click or
tap "Connection Security Rules"on the panel on the left. By default, there
are no such rules defined on Windows computers and devices. They are
generally used in business environments and such rules are set by the
network administrator.
10. What Does the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Monitor?
The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security includes some monitoring
features as well. In the Monitoring section you can find the following
information: the firewall rules that are active (both inbound and outbound), the
connection security rules that are active and whether there are any active
security associations.
