This Warnborough Online Course will teach you:
- What computer networks are
- Their component parts
- Different configurations
- What different configurations can be used for
Your ability to plan and manage computer networks will be vastly improved by this online course. This resource is designed for IT professionals or office managers who have limited knowledge of computer networks, how they work and want to obtain strong foundation.
A computer network is a group of interconnected computers or devices all interacting with each other and exchanging information. A network can have any amount of devices connected to it – as long as there’s at least two to start with. Devices on networks usually consist of routers, modems, printers, external hard drives and computers.

What Comes First
The first thing you should do when setting up a computer network is plan. You need to consider all possibilities – this includes; topography, architecture, hardware and a reliable but affordable place to buy the appropriate hardware.
Topography
The shape or structure of a network is what is meant by the term topography or topology. There are two types of topography; physical topology and logical topology.
Physical – the connections of the devices in the network.
Logical – the methods and protocols for transmitting (or passing) data between the devices.
