TOKEN RING DESIGN and INSTALLATION April 10, 1991 Washington, DC May 8, 1991 Dallas, TX Token Ring Seminar Attendees will Learn About: - LAN Applications - Token Ring Topology - Network Configuration - Wiring Requirements From the developers of the industry-recognized IEEE 802.5 standard. Local Area Networks TOKEN RING DESIGN and INSTALLATION The availability of a full range of competitively priced, state-of-the-art information processing hardware and software developed to meet particular requirements has lead to the predominance of multi-vendor systems environments. This development has fostered the demand for multi-vendor connectivity, distributed processing, and the electronic exchange of information between incompatible mainframes, workstations, and peripherals. In response, Local Area Networks (LANs) have emerged. The primary data communications vehicle in most of today's system implementations, LANs allow for the compatible interconnection of system stations. For network and systems managers to effectively choose the right LAN products for their existing and future applications needs, a thorough understanding of modern LAN architectures and access methods is essential. This seminar focuses on the Token Ring Access Method for the compatible interconnection of data processing equipment. It is based on IEEE Std 802.5-1989, and discusses token-passing ring topology and network configuration and wiring requirements in accordance with the industry standard. In this seminar, network professionals gain a thorough understanding of the principles and fundamentals of token ring operations and physical design. They will be able to better manage their existing network environments, while confidently planning for future growth. In this seminar, you'll learn: - Local area networks concepts and definitions - Fundamentals of token ring operation - Principles and mechanics of token ring physical design - Differences between token ring, token passing bus, and Carrier Sense and Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) access methods - Network topology selection - Physical design for high network availability - When and how to divide networks into rings - Physical wiring and configuration for networks - How to choose cable media twisted pair, coaxial, or optical fiber for connecting workstations - The impact of wiring upgrades from 4 to 16 MBit/s - Repeaters placement in networks - Lobe lengths - Building wiring to support token ring applications - Limitations associated with wiring LANs and interconnecting networks When you're back on the job, apply your new expertise and: - Properly evaluate your current and future application requirments - Select the LAN architecture that best fits your needs - Avoid costly mistakes by procuring the right equipment for your network from the start - Plan the wiring of a building to support token ring applications - Wire a LAN that uses the token-ring access method - Effectively manage and optimize a physical network to accommodate for future expansion WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course is designed for those involved in the physical design and implementation of networks and who need to understand the operation of token ring networks from a physical design point of view, especially: - Network/Systems Managers - Network Administrators and Systems Analysts - Systems and Application Designers - Network/LAN Suppliers and Developers - Wire and Cable Engineers DATES and LOCATIONS April 10, 1991 Washington DC May 8, 1991 Dallas,TX TAKE HOME MATERIALS At our seminar, you'll receive the following IEEE Standards used throughout the industry: - IEEE Std 802.5-1989, Local Area Networks: Token Ring Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications a $42.00 value! - ISO 8802-2 : 1989, Information Processing Systems Local Area Networks Part 2: Logical Link Control a $45.00 value! - Complete lecture notebook SEMINAR FEES Take advantage of our Early Bird discount and enroll before March 15, 1991!
