Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Installer's Guide to Local Area Networks is mandatory reading for every cable installer and apprentice who needs a single source of practical information on a complete range of networking topics, from current and legacy local area network (LAN) technologies to the cabling standards that support them. Written by an experienced educator with nearly twenty years of first-hand, professional experience in the computer networking industry, this all-inclusive, general reference uses a remarkably entertaining style to convey a wealth of practical information and detailed technical specifications. The book begins by defining a LAN and introducing essential buzzwords, standards, and organizations, plus network protocols and operating systems. Subsequent chapters are presented in logical sequence to propel readers on a direct path to understanding the essential aspects of today's modern LAN technologies, including media requirements, cable plan installation standards and practices, plus certification details. In addition, a unique historical perspective heightens the reader's appreciation of the evolution of modern LAN technologies while offering useful insights into the reasons why some emerging technologies succeed and others do not.

A Kid's Review
The book is excellent for beginners such as me. Review Questions at the end of each chapter help you understand more of the chapter. Very good in detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great technical resource, February 19, 2008
By ComanchePilot (Virginia Beach, VA) - See all my reviews
If you have a need to understand some of the legacy LANs that you have, or if you simply want to have a field resource to assist you in physical layer as well as a guide to IP protocol, this book should do it for you. It does cover many other areas that are under the responsibility of the IT manager, so look this one over, it could help you out.
