Chapter \&B Wireless Local Area Networks The idea of networking is catching on at NDAS. Recently, a mail server was instaned in Tampa to serve the depurtment heads. Later, ir will also provide email services to other employees as well. Each of the department heads (See Case Figure 1-2) which are housed ia the hcadquarters in Tampa were recently given laptop compaters with both wired and wireless capabilities. The main reasons why they were given these computers is so that they coald check email and ase other important services no natter whether they were at work, home, or traveling. President Coone is beginning to woe some of the benefits of networking and is especially exeited about email beeause it offers him an easy method of commanicating to all of the department heads. Exereises 1. You are responsible for designing and installing the network infrastrecture that allows each of the department beads to eonaect into the corporate WLAN from their offices. Think about the placement and quantity of aceess points. In addition, consider that access poists must be pbysically wired into the aetwork. How will this be done? 2. Security is always a major concern, especially with the wireless network being inpleanented. What measures will be taken to increase the level of seeurity on the wircless network? 3.Consider that other wireless technologies exist today such as Blo etooth, in frared, and RFDD. How could each of these technologies be stilized by NDAS? 3. Consider that other wircless technologies exist today such as Bluetooth; in frared, asd RFID. How could each of these technologies be utilized by NDAS? The idea of networking is catching on at NDAS. Recently, a mail server was installed in Tampa to serve the departmeat heads.

Exercises 1. You are responsible for designing and installie g the network in frastrueture that allows each of the department heads to coanect into the corporate WL.AN from their offices. Think about the placement and quantity of aceess points. In addition, consider that aceess points must be physically wired inte the network. How will this be done? 2. Security is always a major concern, especially with the wireless nctwork bcing implemented. What measures will be taken to increase the level of security on the wireless network? 3. Consider that other wireless tech nologies exist today such as Blaetooth, in frared, and R.FID. How could each of these technologies be stilixed by NDAS
