The network has also become a source of contention with frequent collisions especially at peak periods during the day such as the morning when everyone gets is and starts their daily activities. An interview with IT Director, Alfred Wingfield has revealed that the cable infrastructure is in dire need of replacement to enable the use of a voice over I.P. system with the current system. In addition, the customer would like all of the backbone switches connected to each other with a high speed connection.…
Time is a risk for this project on several levels. 173 employees this will be affected as well as their customers. The company has agreed that this is a good move, however, if the process of setting up the equipment, managing the security and providing training goes on too long, then it will start to negatively affect the company over-all. Currently there is concern if the technology will be delivered due to an unforeseen fire, this set back will be costly in time and work. Also, a second part of time being a risk is managing faulty or dying equipment. Home offices will take longer to assess and fix in the long run. IT staff will either have travel to employee’s homes, or employees will be held up having to come into the home office for repairs.…
There will be 25 employees at the main office and 15 employees at the two new locations. Each employee will have their own workstation at their employed location. Each employee will have their own unique user id and password to log into their workstations. Each employees profile will be set up so they can log into any workstation at all three locations. All the profiles will be connected to a public shared drive that gives all employees access to all documentation under this drive. Each employee will also have a private drive that will give them access to private documentation at any location they may be working at. There are 10 employees that will be traveling to different locations when needed. Although the employees have the capability of logging onto any workstation and/or customer relations workstation at either location; we will also provide laptops and/or tablets connected to the network they will be able to access their profiles…
3) If the company is set up with multiple locations in different cities I would set up a WAN if the company is set up as a single location then I would recommend a LAN set up. In a client/server environment a client such as a laptop is connected to a server that stores information and files on it. The client, such as a laptop, connects to a server to access the information on that server.…
I would suggest installing a Local Area Network, which will supply networking capabilities to computers in the company. The set up for installation requires a modem and wireless routers to be able to connect all computers to the internet, using Ethernet cables or wireless card connections will allow all computers access to the internet via a broadband connection. Each computer or client will be able to access all necessary information on the network this can be achieved by utilizing file sharing will allowing that company to dictate who has access to what information on the network. I would also suggest printer sharing, which will allow the company to dictate who has access to the printer. I would also utilize TCP/IP Protocols; which are the rules that allow computers to connect to one another and that enable computers and peripheral devices to exchange information.…
Company A is an organization with a moderate amount of employees that occupies three locations within one city. The three locations are connected via fast network connections and the IT/IS Administration is centralized with the helpdesk. Employees have the ability to utilize computers and printers within their department, but are not allowed to use these devices located in other departments. In addition, HR information is restricted to that department as well as the executive offices, which have access to all locations and data.…

Some employees are using the company networks to access the Internet. Some expect the company to provide this type of access. This presents a number of challenges to company network management. Identify three challenges and suggest strategies for a company to address these challenges.…
Modern telephone systems offer a variety of features. Some are essential communication tools; other features that people will likely use on a more discretionary basis. One common and frequently used feature of today’s telephone systems is voice mail. If you can’t take am incoming call, voice mail allows callers to record messages which you can access at your convenience. An auto-attendant feature, useful for businesses, consists of a centralized recorded message to greet callers and direct their calls to the right numbers. You can use a phone systems conference – calling feature to allow a number of people to participate in a call at the same time. Each system allows different numbers of people to participate, and all remain on the call until they hang up. Telephone systems offer various features for managing incoming calls, one useful feature is call transfer, which allows me to transfer calls from my number to another number. Another much used feature is call holding if you are on the phone and receive an incoming call, you can put the first call on hold and attend to the second call. One more feature within the trust is call mute/secrecy, with allows me to mute the call so that the person on the other end of the phone can’t hear what I’m discussing, which helps with confidentiality because they can’t hear client or patient information.…
Butler’s Information Resources department played a major role in establishing the new VoIP system at Butler University. The IS department began this entire project by first researching the current system at Butler and identifying what they currently had, and what they needed. They looked at the features provided by Centrex and how their current system worked and developed a plan of what they needed to improve and add to their system. Butler’s IS department researched other systems, listened to vendor presentations, and set up interviews with numerous potential providers in order to narrow down their decision of what system they would be installing. The IS department came across a system called VoIP that was extremely intriguing to them. Although it was a fairly new and expensive system, they saw it as an opportunity to improve their current system drastically. “Only twelve to thirteen percent of the market had VoIP installed in 2004. Even though the telecommunications landscape was changing with an emerging trend of increasing IP lines, the current statistics were still daunting and left us wondering if this was a good path to…
Fixed networks can come in many shapes, sizes, costs and speeds. Prices range widely, and differ depending upon the provider, but the equipment used is usually very similar. You’ve got dial-up, which uses existing phone lines to provide a very low speed, unreliable connection. There is also DSL, which uses those same telephone lines, but only works a certain distance away from your telephone company’s central office. Then you’ve got services like AT&T’s U-Verse, which also uses telephone lines in a similar manner as DSL, but has the capacity to produce much higher speeds and provide video services as well.…

Key words: Fiber Bragg grating , dispersion compensation, apodization ABSTRACT A wideband chirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) dispersion compensator operating in C band is designed theoretically by numerically solving the coupled mode equations. The power reflectivity spectrum and dispersion characteristics of the chirped fiber Bragg gratings are analysed. In order to achieve wideband dispersion compensation with a low insertion loss, grating length, average refractive index change, apodization profile and chirp parameter of the grating should be precisely optimized. The chirped FBG designs achieved in this study have resulted in a negative dispersion of 4.95 ps/nm for a grating length of L = 10 mm and a negative dispersion of 9.76 ps/nm for a grating length of L = 20 mm with 16 nm bandwidth at around 1550 nm. recognized as a perfect alternative do DCF. The most significant advantages of chirped FBGs are low insertion loss, nonlinear effects and cost. The idea of dispersion compensation using chirped fiber gratings was firstly proposed by Qulette [4] and later demonstrated experimentally by Williams et.al. [5]. A fiber Bragg grating is a reflective device composed of an optical fiber that contains a modulation of its core refractive index over a certain length. The grating reflects light propagating through the fiber when its wavelength corresponds to the modulation periodicity. In a chirped FBG, the periodicity of the induced index modulation varies along the grating’s length. As the grating period varies along the axis, the different wavelengths are reflected by different portions of the grating and accordingly are delayed by different amounts of time. The net effect is a compression of the input pulse that can be tailored to compensate for the chromatic dispersion accumulated…
