As a consulting network engineer for the Excellent Network Consulting Co., you have been requested to perform an evaluation of the data network at the Zoom Trucking Company, which has just moved into an eighty-year-old office building.

Zoom Truckings network engineer has not been able to get the network functioning on the network cable that was in the building when Zoom Trucking moved in. Part of the network uses coaxial thinnet cabling, and part of it uses Cat-3 network cabling. Less than half of the user workstations connected via Cat-3 cabling are working, and none of the workstations connected to coaxial cable are working because none of the user workstations have the right connectors.

Some specifics about Zoom Trucking:

Employees with workstations: 75

Servers: 8 servers located in a server room

Building size: 2 floors, 100 200

Construction: wood frame and masonry exterior

Your job is to create a 1-page (minimum) report including a list of recommendations to Zoom Trucking: what steps should it take to get its data network working as soon as possible?
