Design a small local area network for a medical office Mark up the floor plan as follows:
Draw a purple rectangle where the wireless router should be placed. Keep in mind the following:
A wireless router's signal can extend for up to 125 feet in all directions, but the signal starts to get weak at a much shorter distance.
Be mindful of the measurements listed around the perimeter of the floor plan when placing your router.
If you place the router in a corner of the building, not all areas of the building will have a strong WiFi signal.
You can place the router in the ceiling to keep it out of the way.
Draw a blue rectangle where the cable modem will sit. Keep in mind the following:
The cable modem should be somewhere that the staff can easily access (not in the ceiling) because it might need to be reset.
The cable modem should be somewhere that unauthorized people will not be able to tamper with it.
Draw a blue line from the cable modem to the router, representing the cable that will connect them.
Draw a yellow rectangle where the server should be placed. Keep in mind the following:
The server should be somewhere that the staff can easily access (not in the ceiling) because it might need to be configured or reset.
The server should be somewhere that unauthorized people will not be able to tamper with it.
Draw a yellow line from the server to the router, representing the cable that will connect them.
Draw green circles where the Ethernet jacks will be in the walls.
Draw green lines from the router to the Ethernet jacks. Keep in mind the following:
Cables can be run through the walls and ceilings.
There must be a separate cable from each jack directly to the router; you can't split a cable.
If you worked with a partner, add the partner’s name to the drawing at the top.
