...Rey Lozada NT1330 homework June 19, 2015 IP Addressing Scenario According to the scenario, the company will have a single, physical location with approximately 145 hosts on the network. In this case, I would us a class C address such as 192.168.0.0. Reason why is because you can put all the devices on a single subnet with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0/24. This would allow for 253 usable host addresses, which is more than needed in this case. Whether you should dynamically or statically assign those IP’s goes, I suggest assigning it dynamically. Unless you don’t mind MANUALLY managing 218 hosts, you should definitely go with DHCP. The router will be well capable of handing out addresses for 145 hosts. Since there is only one location used in this case, only one network should be used as it will only complicate things to have more than one network. Since DHCP is being used as the suggestion, whether we should use a router and/or firewall, or utilizing Windows Server…the answer is yes. The router for dishing out the IP addresses and the firewall should be used for security purposes. Using Windows Server just for DHCP is rather overkill. Using these suggested methods should also accommodate for at least 50% growth within the next few years.

...My RFP for this building is I will be wiring this entire building with Cat5e cable because it’s cheaper and better to use in a building like this. I will try and get the job done as quickly as possible; it probably will take me about 3 or 4 day to wire this building. I will provide all the labor, material, tools and equipment need for this job. Me and my team will do a great job on wiring your building and have it up in running in no time. I plan to have your Telco room in the back of the building in the left corner with all the theory rooms and labs surrounding it. I will have racks and switches setup in the Telco room for the other rooms , but for labs 4 and lab 1 I will have a switches in those rooms because those tow labs have the most computers in them and that’s a lot of cable to run from every computer in those rooms back to the Telco room . So I will just put the switches in the labs mount them on the wall or a have racks setup so the stiches and cables can be place and cable be neatly organized, and have to main cables running from those rooms back to the Telco room. Then with the other two labs , LRC I will do the same thing as I did with the other labs so it want be so much cable and they have their own switch in them , with the 5 theory rooms and front desk I will have 3 cables in each room going back to the Telco room . All the cables in all rooms will be organized and in the Telco room will have the cables on racks so they are neat and if a cable...

...Constructing a new Structure- Building Codes The information in this document should be useful in making design-related decisions that will not only satisfy the move to our new building Information Technology (IT) requirements but also meet the needs of the building and its future occupants with respect to voice, video and data communications. The intention of this document is to provide a comprehensive understanding and reference guide that can be referred to when moving to our new building. Moving into our new building we need to follow certain cable codes and specification. A properly designed network is based around components or wiring units. The components should also follow certain performance specifications so that when installing we will know exactly what types of applications will be supported. The cable specifications and building codes requirements that we use will be based on * ANSI/EIA/TIA standards 568-C-- Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard * ANSI/EIA/TIA 569-- Commercial Building Standards for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces; ANSI/EIA/TIA 606- Administration Standard for the Telecommunications Infrastructure of Commercial Buildings * ANSI/EIA/TIA 607-Commercial Building Grounding and Bonding Requirements for Telecommunications; BICSI Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual (TDMM) and NFPA 70--National Electric Code (NEC).

...Activity 1: Building a New Structure – Problem Analysis Here are the most common causes of fiber network malfunctions: • Broken fibers because of physical stress or excessive bending • Insufficient transmitting power • Excessive signal loss due to a cable span that’s too long • Excessive signal loss due to a contaminated connector • Excessive signal loss due to faulty splices or connectors • Excessive signal loss due to having too many splices or connectors • Faulty connection of fiber to the patch panel or in the splice tray Typically, if a connection is completely dead, it’s because of a break in the cable. However, if the connection is intermittent, there are several possible causes: • The cable’s attenuation may be too high because of poor quality splices or too many splices. • Things like dust, fingerprints, scratches, and humidity can contaminate connectors. • There is low transmitter strength. • There are bad connections in the wiring closet. Some tools to assist in determining the issue with the network would be: Cable fault finder - fault locator, cable and wire manager and tone generator Electrical Contractor Telecom Kits - these kits contain essential industry standard telecommunications tools and test equipment. Voltage Detector - provides protection against hazardous voltages. Punchdown Tool - termination tool allows you to terminate jacks.

And the last one concerning the delivery. As mentioned inside of the case the company though that the product was free on the board and it was not their responsibility to take care of the shipment process and the product. However the case was the opposite as Distributor's employee made sure to change the title and finish the transaction as the product would reach the destination. In this case Biovail should recognize the revenue the moment that the product have left the first destination and the company in order to go to Distributor's destination. That way the responsibility would be not only concern Biovail but also Distributor. 3.it does not influence them in third quarter at least, in any of the case whether they take revenue at the moment the product reaches the destination or they count revenue the moment it leaves the warehouse.

Throughout history, progression and advancement in technology has fundamentally separated us from our evolutionary antecedents, enabling a life of greater comfort, extravagance and an increased ability to procreate and sustain ourselves. This improvement is especially apparent in the world of architecture and civil engineering, where there has been an unremitting ambition to surpass the existing boundaries, particularly with regards to height. The most renowned early example of a structure where height was key are the Pyramids of Giza where elevation was crucial in order to radiate power and divine authority. The tallest pyramid, standing at 146.5m, was built more than 4500 years ago, and remained the tallest manmade structure for the next 3800 years, until the 1300s when Lincoln Cathedral was built topping it by only 13.5m [1][2]...

...According to Webster’s dictionary, architecture is defined as “an art or science of building.” While I believe buildings are mostly engineering processes, structures can be artistic. Architecture comes with design and design usually has some kind of creative element to it. This creativity to reflect the architect’s artistic ability in a building, the thought processes, functional aspects, is art. There is a lot of effort put into making a building. Apart from the engineering process and scientific principles of manipulating mass, volume, materials, and pragmatic elements such as keeping in mind cost, technology, an architect has to be creative to make the building or structures very pleasurable to view. This is because architecture, in essence, fulfills all the roles of an artist. I believe architecture primarily reflects the history, time, culture of the people, technology, and is very symbolic of that time in several different ways. Several examples can be attributed to the artistic roles of architecture. I personally love the fig 494 on page 370 of our text. It is structure called Turning Torso Residential Tower in Sweden. This particular building reflects the third and fourth role of artists of making the structure pleasurable and give hidden meaning of stronger powers. Another impressive building is the Burj Khalifa (fig 501, pg 373, name changed in 2010) in Dubai that is the tallest building in the world as of now demonstrating again third and fourth role of artists demonstrating...

...Part 1: Description of This Building Olympiapark is a Postmodern collection of buildings located in Munich, Germany and was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics. Olympiapark consists of 4 main areas: Olympic area, village, media city, and park. The main focus of my paper is on Olympic Stadium which is pictured above. The design for Olympiapark was chosen through a national competition that was won by the German architect Günter Behnisch’s design company Behnisch und Partner. The 1 square mile area where Olympiapark was built at that time was known as Oberwiesenfeld (‘upper meadow-field’). Oberwiesenfeld before that was a dumping area for World War II debris and a landing strip. The area was designed to ‘be green’ and to make use of the flat land that was once used as a dumping ground. “The architects developed a theme thus shaping the area. They created a lake at the end of the elongated hill and molded the otherwise completely flat land using earth dams and landfills into a diverse park. The park contains embedded stadiums, sports halls and athletic residence buildings” (Berber 2008). The tops of the famous tent-like roof on the stadium is made of PVC-coated polyester fabric. Today Olympiapark is still in use for concerts and various other events. The Olympic Village where athletes once stayed during the games have now been converted into student housing for more than 9,000 people.

...Society & Architectural Design Architecture is defined as the complex or carefully designed structure of an object. In this case architecture can apply to a variety of different examples that are not just buildings, or objects, but as a reflection upon the thoughts and ideas of the time period in history. In this essay I will be discussing the dramatic impact that architecture has had on the major civilizations throughout time by being able to display them in their works, which not only was a clear representation of the time but as well helped mold and solidify the society’s thoughts through expression. By taking examples from ancient to modern times I will examine how the architecture of these eras clearly displays the thoughts and ideas of the culture in which it was built upon and as well the society in which it is placed. As well I will be examining how several major key architects played a dynamic role in these critical showcases that represented their time. I will be taking architectural examples from; the ancient Egyptian time period, the gothic and medieval time period, the renaissance & pre-modern period and the now contemporary period. Each one of these unique periods of time in architectural design were clear representation of the dynamic time period in our history. Here, looking back at these time periods we can see the most incredible works in architectural design that still to this day help us understand the culture at the time. As well I will be...

...30 St Mary Axe, also known as the “Gherkin,” is one of Norman Foster’s works that has sparked London’s new architectural movement. This movement consists of structures with steel and glass, a round-shape, and unused designs. I chose this structure because of its odd-shape and towering height; it’s not very common to see this specific design in major cities around the world. The Gherkin is a missile-shaped skyscraper that incorporates Foster’s combination of steel and glass; its height and shape draws the eyes of every Londoner. The building tends to stand out to many due to its surrounding of outdated, smaller structures. While there are many older buildings surrounding it, the Gherkin is also located in one of the more updated parts of the...
