Networking Terms: Educating the Client
Networking terms are very important for you to know. This article explains some of the most common networking terms.
It is very important to educate your small business prospects and clients on key small business networking terms and buzzwords. After all, in order to "win them over," you need to be speaking the same language. In fact, you may even want to prepare a "cheat sheet", based on the below definitions, to help you in your prospect and client pre-sales activities.
If youd like to order a license to reproduce these networking terms for client sales literature, please contact questions@ComputerConsulting101.com and put "Licensing Your LAN Buzzwords" in the subject line.
802.11a wireless Ethernet standard that allows for data networking transmission at up to 54Mbps; operates in the 5-6Ghz range.
802.11b most mature of the widely available wireless Ethernet standards that allows for data networking transmission at up to 11Mbps; ; also commonly referred to as a "WiFi"; operates in the 2.4Ghz range
802.11g newest in-progress wireless Ethernet standard that promises to allow for data networking transmission at up to 54Mbps, operates in the same 2.4Ghz range as 802.11b-based Wireless Ethernet networks.
CAT5 (Category 5 Cable) copper, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling that can support voice and data communications at speeds up to 100Mbps and 1000Mbps for Ethernet networking.
Client/Server Network a network in which a dedicated server is used to share resources.
Ethernet Network Adapter due to the market dominance of Ethernet networks, an Ethernet network adapter has become largely synonymous with the more general term network adapter or network interface card.
IDE (integrated drive electronics) is a more mainstream, lower-cost interface (than SCSI) for connecting internal peripherals -- generally hard drives, CD-ROM drives and tape backup drives.
LAN (Local Area Network) set of computer systems and peripheral devices connected for sharing resources and providing near instantaneous communications; todays small business LANs are typically physically connected using Ethernet network adapters and Category 5 cabling; when extended to one or more additional geographic locations, can become a metropolitan area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN).
Network Integrator a computer services business that designs, installs and maintains heterogeneous computer systems and software; many computer consultants are also network integrators (and vice versa).
