Evolution : Early 90’s
• Multi User Centralized Main Frame Systems
with proprietary OS and specialized
engineering applications at corporate centre
in Fully AC, Dust free Computer Centre at
Corporate Centre.
• Similar system at RLDCs for Real time Data
acquisition(Siemens system at
NRLDC,ERLDC & ABB system at WRLDC
• These systems were mainly used for
analysis and reporting
Evolution:Mid 90’s
• With evolution of Personal computer 286,386
computers came out of the computer centre
and there was transformation from centralize
computing to distributed computing.
• Computer used for word processing and
Spread sheets with CUI softwares like wordstar
and Lotus.
• To fulfill the need of information sharing on
limited basis these network were connected
through BNC cabling system and Novell Server
was used mainly for File sharing .
Late 90’s to 2002
• In late 90’s and early 2000 there were
substantial development in H/W & S/W and
networking area.
•
•
•
•
•
Hardware: 486,pentium I/II/III
OS: Win 3.1/ Win 95/Win 2000(GUI)/Linux
Office : Office 95/97/2000
NOS: WIN NT/WIN 2000 Server/Linux
Networking: UTP Cat III/IV/V,Hub & switches
• These technologies were adopted in the
company and GUI based networking was
carried out at Corporate & Regional level.
• Intranet Application,File sharing ,Use of
Internet,Email.

Networking Basics
•Definition of Computer Networks:>Computer Network is
said to be Interconnected collection of autonomous
computers (unlike the Old central system).
•Types of Computers Network(Based on Distance)




LAN (Local Area Network) 10m-1 km
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)10 km
WAN (Wide Area Network)>10 to 1000km
Internet
Internet is networking of number of networks across the
world
32
Networking Technology
•Types of Computers Network(Based Transmission
Technology):
Broadcast Network :This technology is genrelly used in
LAN environment ,Traffic can be Unicast, Multicast or Broadcast


Point to Point Network: This Technology is used on WAN
environment, Dial up Network to Internet
•Development and standardization of Computer Networks:
During Initial phase of development each individual networking
companies were having there own networking solution. which
resulted in no of network island and connecting two different
network was a tough and expensive task.
33
TCP/IP Model
• To overcome this problem International standards
organization proposed Open System Interconnection
reference Model.The whole network architecture
has been divided into seven layers for ease of
simplicity.These layers are

Lease line :Provides permanent point to point connectivity Generally ranges from
64 Kbps to several E1.Lease line modem Connected to the router on Sync/Async
port.
ISDN BRI Dial Up Line:Digital link provide 64 Kbps speed , one ISDN contains two
data channel of 64 Kbps and 16 Kbps control Channel. Connected to Router
through NT(for S/T interface) or with U interface u don’t need NT
VSAT:TDM/TDMA outbound 2 Mbps to all the users and inbound 128 Kbps shared
in a group.
VAST PAMA: Point to point clear channel allocation,Modem Connected to Router
and the IDU unit of the VSAT
Devices based on IEEE 802.3
• BNC cabling system with Thin COAX Cable and NIC with
T-connector on the system connected to the LAN.
• HUB Based system with 10 or 100 Mbps speed with
