7 Steps to install a Wired Network

This week, En Azrul had been given a work. He give routers and switch. After class I found out that my group setup the network not in proper manner. So after class, I made a research about the right way to build a wired network. 

Step 1: Turn off and unplug all the computers

          This is because all of them that are going to be connected to your soon-to-be network should be unplugged

Step 2 :Turn off all the computers' peripherals

               This includes printers, monitors, modems and anything else that’s attached to any computer.

Step 3 :Install the network adapters

Plug the USB adapters into your computers' USB ports. If you are using adapter cards, remove each computer's case and push the card into the proper size of slot. 

Step 4 : Connect each network cable between the computer's adapter and the router/ switch

Unless you’re using wireless adapters, you may need to route cables under carpets or around doorways. (Most routers and switches have power cords that need to be plugged into a wall outlet as well.)

Step 5 : Plug the modem into the router's WAN port

Most routers label their cable modem’s port with the letters WAN (Wide Area Network). The router’s other ports, labeled LAN (Local Area Network), are numbered. You can plug any PC into any of the numbered ports. (You can leave some numbered ports empty)

Step 6 : Turn on the computers and their peripherals

             Turn on the computers and their monitors, printers, modems, and whatever else happens to be connected to them.

Step 7 : Select a location for your network

When window wakes up and notices the newly attached network equipment, it asks you for your network's location: Home, Work or Public Location. 

Done!

Now lets check the ip4 address UniSZA , open cmd and type ipconfig.Our group get 172.20.18.77.
