LAN Network Installation and Configuration

LAN (Local Area Network) is a type of tissue that connects two or more workstations in a local network that is not too broad, for example, in one room or one building. Broadly speaking there are two types of LAN networks, namely:
1. Peer to Peer
2. Client-Server

Peer-to-peer is a type of network that connects several workstations where each workstation has the same position. in the sense that each of the workstations to share resources. Meanwhile, network Client-Server, can be seen from its name, where there is a workstation that serves as a server that provides the resources given to each client.

1. LAN network installation
Some things needful in this installation such as:
- UTP Cable
- RJ-45

- Lan Tester (optional)
- LAN Card (NIC) for the mainboard is not properly installed onboard lan card (network devices and grapich yet included / external).

After it needs is ready, then we can start building a network that we need. It should be noted that each type of network will use a different cable types.

[+] The network peer-to-peer use crossover type cable
[+] Client-server networks use a cable type Straight

Immediately, we started making the first cable network is a peer-to-peer, in this network we use a Crossover type cable. Here is an arrangement of colors on the type of crossover cable.

Connektor 1#
WG - G - WO - Bl - WBl - O - WBr -Br

Connektor 2#
WO - O - WG - Bl - WBl - G - WBr -Br


As for the second network is a network Client-Srver we use a Straight cable, which is where the arrangement of the color of the cord as brikut:

Connector 1 # and 2 # the same arrangementWO - O - WG - Bl - WBl - G - WBr -Br



Description:
G >Green
Bl >Blue
O >Orange
Br >Brown
W >White

After we finished up the cable colors according to what we need, we continue to connect with RJ-45 connectors. Flatten the ends of the eight wires which we will enter into the connector. Which need to be considered when inserting the wires into the connector positions konekstor facing up or down, not to reverse its position on the connector one end and at the other end.

After that lock connectors and cables by using crimping pliers. If necessary you can test your cable with LAN Tester. Make sure any lights that live on the same LAN tester.
