File server – stores information that is sent to it from the computers (used instead of individual computers saving to there individual hard drive.
Network interface card – this is what is need for computers to “talk” to each other.
Print server – this is what the computers are connected up to and it controls and allows printing to happen from multiple computers to one printer.
A computer – the piece of hardware that allows you to view and control what you are doing.
A switch or hub- many cables are streamed into one piece of hardware to save space and confusion.
P-j 45 cables- this is what carries the information from computer to computer the NIC generates.
Fibre optic cables are tiny cables that carry information.
Activity 3
A switch is more effective, even if more expensive because it is faster and simpler than a hub. What it does is reads where the file is meant to go and then send it there directly.
A hub however sends the file to every computer in the network and sees if it is the correct address, this can clog up the cables slowing the system down.
