In a network, the computers need to be able to connect to each other physically.

Therefore, another important network property is how the computers connect to

each other, either directly or through a central device.

ONE-ON-ONE WIRED NETWORK

also known as: Direct connection (max. 2 PCs)

NOTE: Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect two computers directly to each

other.

WIRED NETWORK WITH MORE THAN 2 PCs

Use a hub or switch to connect more than 2 PCs to each other.

NOTE: Use straight-through Ethernet cables to connect the computers to the

central device (hub/switch).

HOW TO INTERCONNECT WIRED NETWORKS

Use a gateway router to connect one network to another (e.g. to the Internet, also

known as WAN).

ONE-ON-ONE WIRELESS NETWORK

Also known as: Ad Hoc / Peer-to-Peer

WIRELESS NETWORK WITH MORE THAN 2 PCs

Also known as: Ad Hoc / Peer-to-Peer

The wireless medium forms a hub in and of itself. No hardware hub is needed.

CONNECTING WIRELESS TO WIRED NETWORKS

also known as: Infrastructure / Access Point

Use a wireless base station.

Central devices, like a hub, switch, router or wireless access point may be stand-

alone devices or built into a computer.

•A hub has multiple ports and serves as a central connection point for

communication lines from all computers on a wired network. It copies all data

arriving at one port to the other ports. A switch is similar to a hub, but is able to

handle different network speeds at each port.

• Gateway routers and wireless access points route network traffic from one

network to another (e.g. from a wired network to the Internet, or from a

wireless network to a wired network or to the Internet).
