...Three factors that need to be considered in a cable installation are fire protection, possibility of water damage and protecting from EMI. Fire protection is very important so that if the building were to catch on fire the coating on the cables would not melt or at least not melt as fast. It is also smart to know where fire extinguishers are in order to possibly prevent the fire from spreading if it is not too large. It is important to consider the possibility of water damage because you do not want your servers and equipment ruined by some water that never should have touched it. In this case it is a good idea to know where water pipes run in the building so that you do not risk placing a network closet underneath a bathroom. Or right night to a bathroom for that matter. The possibility of flooding and ruining server equipment, firewall equipment, and cables by a bursting pipe or overflowing flood is just not worth it. You also want to make sure there are sprinklers but maybe not directly over your servers so that there is a possibility of saving them should they be set off for any reason. Protecting from EMI is very important so that you do not have any breaks in signal or weakened signal experiences. Making sure that your cables run perpendicular to power cables is one way to prevent EMI interference. Another way to prevent EMI is to make sure that you have shielded twisted pair cables instead of unshielded twisted pair cables. There are many things to take into consideration...

...When Erica is presented with manipulatives and asked “How Many?” She is able to state the correct amount for 1, 100% of occurrences, 2, 100% of occurrences, 3, 80% of occurrences. For 4, 63% and for 5, 25%. There are times her attention gets pulled elsewhere causing her to lose the place she was counting. As the numbers get bigger, Erica has a little harder time keeping track of what number she previously hit and what number comes next. There are times when she will hit the button, but it will not work, so she will skip that number or she will touch it again. But she has already moved her finger to the next manipulative, which throws her off. When Erica is asked to identify her numbers in order without any number cards from 1-10, she...

...internet based attacks. However, in the case of Stuxnet it is generally understood that the worm entered the system via the use of a USB stick. Once on the system the next step was getting the trust of the LAN within the facility, this was achieved through the use of a digital certificate contained in the worm (believed to be stolen from a company called “JMicron” based in Taiwan). Engineered into the worm and proving again how complex and complete the design was when this digital certificate was discovered it instantly replaced it with another digital certificate from another company called “Realtek”. Further investigation found that Realtek was also based in Taiwan, in fact the two companies where in the same industrial park. Figure 1 - How Stuxnet Works [6] An amazing fact with respect to Stuxnet was that it contained four “Zero Day” exploits, a Zero Day is defined in Wikipedia as follows: “A zero-day (or zero-hour or day zero) attack or threat is an attack that exploits a previously unknown vulnerability in a computer application or operating system, one that developers have not had time to address and patch. It is called a "zero-day" because the programmer has had zero days to fix the flaw (in other words, a patch is not available)”. [7] Stuxnet exploited a printer spooler vulnerability, a .LNK vulnerability along with vulnerabilities in the Task Scheduler files and Windows Keyboard file to elevate its privileges to fully control the system. Finally, the worm also...

...common clock. In the proposed approach although it is considered that cluster head ( a group leader ) is non-malicious but it may be malicious. A malicious cluster head will not report exact time as which it sends reference packets to all intended receivers, i.e. it will send a false time to all receivers. This false time will be used by group members for synchronisation. Hence all group nodes will synchronise to false time. This can be overcome by fixing the initial sender node as non-malicious. The proposed approach is able to overcome from external as well as internal attacker problems is group synchronisation. The external attacks are resolved with the help of MAC message authentication codes and the use of private keys and the internal attacks is finding out on the basis of send and receive time. Fei et al [8] address water monitoring. It has to be monitored as high chemical levels can cause health problems. The authors propose a scalable, low energy, delay tolerant water quality monitoring sensor network model. It is highly variable, has a long propagation delay and mobile. The time synchronisation mechanism can achieve satisfactory timestamp accuracy. The designed a correlation based security model to detect outlier timestamp data and identify nodes generating insider attacks. The scheme can also counter measure insider attacks. It uses low cost water sensors and uses multi hop wireless transmissions to relay data until finally reaching surface stations. The tree like routing...

...routing before the message is actually delivered to the application on the internet. The TTN backend implements such methods when it is placed between the gateways and the applications.\\ \begin{wrapfigure}{R}{0.5\textwidth} \centering \includegraphics[scale=0.15]{Routing-Services.png}\\ \caption{Routing-Services} \cite{LoRawan - the things network wiki_2017}. \label{fig:Routing-Services} \end{wrapfigure} The TTN backend performs the routing and processing in such a way that any interested party can set up their own network and their own part of the backend yet still utilize the core architecuter offered by the TTN backend. In order to help with the decentralization the components of the TTN backedn were split in a manner shown in the figure above. \\ End devices broadcast LoRaWAN messages over the LoRa radio protocol. These messages are then received by a number of Gateways (G) which is connected to a Router (R). The Router is responsible for managing the gateway's status and for scheduling transmissions. Each Router is connected to one or more Brokers (B). Brokers are the central part of The Things Network. Their responsibility is to map a device to an application, to forward uplink messages to the correct application and to forward downlink messages to the correct Router (which forwards them to a Gateway). The Network Server (NS) is responsible for functionality that is specific for LoRaWAN. A Handler (H) is responsible for handling the data of one...

...Exercise One Nt1310 Week 1 In: Computers and Technology Exercise One Nt1310 Week 1 NT1310:Week 1 Telecommunications By: Kenneth Martin You are an IT Network Specialist and are required to develop the design of the company’s telephone system for its new building which will begin construction in a few months. In order to get a background which will help when developing the new system, your supervisor asked you to research the current Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) currently used by the company. You must research the system components and report back to your supervisor , the Telecommunications Manager, within a week. 1. Describe a local land line phone system based on the following Landline Telephone Components: a. Local Loop a local loop is the wired connection from a telephone company's central office in a locality to its customers' telephones at homes and businesses. This connection is usually on a pair of copper wires called twisted pair. The system was originally designed for voice transmission only using analog transmission technology on a single voice channel. Today, your computer's modem makes the conversion between analog signals and digital signals. With Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), the local loop can carry digital signals directly and at a much higher bandwidth than they do for voice only. b. Central Office In telephone communication in the United States, a central office (CO) is an office in a locality...

Discuss the reasons for using each, and any strengths/weaknesses each has. Submission Requirements Submit a 1-2 page Word document; double-spaced; Times New Roman 12 pt font. Cite all sources used. Section 1 In computer networking, topology refers to the layout of connected devices. Think of a topology as a network’s virtual shape or structure. This shape does not necessarily correspond to the actual physical layout of the devices on the network. For example, the computers on a home network may be arranged in a circle in a family room, but it would highly unlikely to find a ring topology there. Hierarchical Star Hierarchical star is also known as an extended star topology. Hierarchical or extended star topology is a star network with an additional networking device connected to the main networking device. Typically, a network...

...NT1310-Physical Networking Unit 1 Assignment 1: Voice VS Data 1. A cell phone is a mobile phone which can make and receive calls over a radio link. It connects to a cellular network which allows it to connect to the public telephone network. It uses both voice and data networks. 2. A landline phone is a device that has a physical connection with a telecommunication network. One big advantage landlines hold over cell phones is clear reception. Landlines offer both voice and data usage via broadband. 3. SMS stands for short message services It is the text messaging service component of mobile communication systems, phones or the web. It is the most widely used data application. It is used on data networks. 4. A Fax is the telephonic transmission of printed text and images to a telephone number connected to a device. It uses both analog and digital signals. It operates over both voice and data networks, and is a big reason why there are still landlines. 5. A Pager, also known as a Beeper, is a wireless communication device that receives numeric or text messages. It can also receive and announce voice messages. There are one way pagers which can only receive messages, and two way pagers which can send messages. The Pager uses both voice and data networks. 6. VOIP, or voice over IP is technology which enables the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions. Over internet protocol networks, VOIP involves signaling, channel setup, digitization of analog voice signals...

...Adam Wolfe 10/20/2012 NT1310 – Unit 4. Assignment 1 – Copper vs. Fiber The copper phone wire has very limited bandwidth. It was designed to provide 3,000Hz bandwidth, perfectly adequate for a voice signal. Fiber links offer over 1,000 times more bandwidth capacity and can be carried over 100 times the distance than copper can. The chart pictured here shows the specific advantages Fiber has over copper wiring in regards to bandwidth and distance. When it comes to LANs or premises cabling, a lot of controversy, a lot of "positioning" and a lot of misinformation are talked about by most people who speak on the topic of copper vs. fiber cabling. The wire most use for LANs is a lot younger than fiber optics. Fiber use is over 20 years old, but computer networks on unshielded-twisted-pair cable (UTP) have only been around about 15 years. In that time, UTP has gone through at least 5 generations, each time to keep up with the incrementing bandwidth requisites of LANs; the ever evolving technology of LAN wire is hardly the “telephone wire” that the majority think of it as. Below is a chart showing the LANs growth in capacity LAN | Bandwidth | Ethernet | 10 Mb/s | FDDI | 100 Mb/s | Fast Ethernet | 100 Mb/s | ATM | 55, 155 Mb/s | Gigabit Ethernet | 1,000 Mb/s (1 gigabit/s) | 10 Gigabit Ethernet | 10 Gb/s | But still, even with all the efforts that copper cabling manufactures have made to stay relevant in todays LAN structuring, installation is a problem...
