2.2 What You Are Likely to Have Now
Figure 8 shows examples of network components that may exist in your
organization. We detailed as many example connections as possible
(hopefully not all these examples exist at one time).
Figure 8. Network Components that May Exist in Your Organization
As shown in the example, there are more complex network components, such
as LAN Bridge and Host-to-Host. These types of connection require a higher
level of networking knowledge. However, the planning and installation
concepts are similar to those found in Network Station implementation.
2.3 What You Are Trying to Achieve
The following diagram shows some types of connections you can make with a
Network Station. There is overlap in the methods used. You may not use all of
them.
