The DE LORENZO Local Area Network deals with the study of technologies, standards, devices, applications related to the connection between PCs in a 'local' environment.

List of the lessons: 1. Local Area Network introduction 2. Signals encoding and transmission media 3. OSI model and LAN IEEE protocols 4. Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks 5. Network devices 6. Structured cabling systems and EIA/TIA 568A - ISO/IEC11801 standards 7. Protocols: NetBIOS, NetBEUI, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX 8. Intranet and networks testing 9. Architecture of a Peer-to-Peer Network Operating System: Windows 98/Me 10. Architecture of a Server Network Operating System: Windows 2000 Server

Educational technologies: Theory The basic theoretical subjects are shown on the computer through WEB pages, with an efficient hyper textual navigation. Practical experiments The practical experiments on real devices represent the indispensable completion of the training process.
