This text aims to help professionals in planning and executing the routeing of a complete digital network. It provides practical information on design and installation of network routeing, and features step-by-step explanations of the fundamentals of internetwork routeing. Completely revised to highlight recent advancements in this technology, the authors provide detailed case studies, and product and protocol-specific information to help network managers with specific application problems. The book also features a guide to the major routeing vendors and chapters on upgrading and capacity planning.
This text goes into the principles of all facets of the ISDN operation, giving an overview to set the operations in context and to act as an introduction to detailed standards, recommendations and specifications. The author looks at short and long term applications of ISDN that have become apparent since the first edition in 1990. New terminal equipment has emerged and this is described in chapter 8. Other additions include a more detailed consideration of supplementary services and an update on the situation on inter-PABX signalling and Broadband ISDN. An annex explaining the use of SDL in specifying ISDN interfaces is provided.
This book assumes absolutely no previous experience with UNIX or Linux. It's written for any PC user who wishes to make the transition to a Linux-based workstation and Linux applications. This book is for users who want to get Linux installed and configured, and then get on with the tasks they currently accomplish with their Windows software: file maintenance, email, Web browsing, newsgroups, word processing, and spreadsheet use.

Passionately democratic in its advocacy of networking for the masses, this is the first book on Linux networking written especially for the novice user. Because the free, open-source Linux operating system is winning so many converts today, the number of Linux-based networks will grow exponentially over the next few years. Taking up where Linux Clearly Explained left off, Linux Networking Clearly Explained walks the reader through the creation of a TCP/IP-based, Linux-driven local area network, beginning with a "sandbox" installation involving just two or three computers. Readers master the fundamentals of system and network administration-including handling user accounts and setting up security-in this less complex environment. The author then helps them along to the more sophisticated techniques associated with connecting this network to the Internet. * Focuses on the 20% of Linux networking knowledge that satisfies 80% of network needs-including the needs of small businesses, workgroups within enterprises and high-tech homes. * Teaches novices to implement DNS servers, network information services (NIS), network file systems (NFS), and all of the most important TCP/IP services, including email, Web and newsgroup access. * Explains how to set up AppleTalk and Windows NT domain servers for networks that include MacIntosh or Windows systems. * Comes with a CD containing the latest version of Red Hat Linux, as well as additional freeware/shareware Linux tools and network management applications.
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Networking) is a major communications development whereby voice, data and video, for instance, are integrated and transmitted over an extensive network of digital exchanges. It is an extremely fast mechanism for transmitting data.; Now in its 3rd edition, this title provides an overview of the principles and applications of ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Networking) operations and applications. More information on broadband aspects is included and there is an explanation of Signalling Access Protocols.
ISDN Explained Worldwide Network and Applications Technology Third Edition John M. Griffiths and the staff at BT Laboratories, UK ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is now an established communications development and continues to replace modems as a fast transmission mechanism. This significantly updated and expanded third edition of ISDN Explained provides an overview of the principles and applications of ISDN operation and application. Building on the success of the first and second editions, this new version provides more detail on the broadband aspects and adds a complete reference section on the signalling access protocols that control an ISDN connection. Other features in this comprehensive guide include: - complete coverage of the increasing number of supplementary services and the embedded data channel - useful end of chapter questions with solutions included at the end of the text - listing of ISDN terms in French, German and Spanish. As a highly readable introductory guide to ISDN it suits all levels of understanding, and as an authoritative text it is ideal for students in engineering and computing. Practising communications engineers, electrical and electronic engineers and computer communications personnel will also find this essential reading. Visit Our Web Page! http://www.wiley.com/
A thin client is a Network Computer that runs Windows programs, providing the infrastructure that enables an Intranet to reach its full potential. The benefits of thin client computers are the comparatively low cost and the ability to manage these machines centrally, providing convenience and efficiency. Employees who need computers but don't use them intensively can use thin clients to access corporate databases and corporate publishing through a Web browser, for email, for word processing, and even for GroupWare. This is a straightforward book that will be useful to officers, executives, supervisors, and many others who wish to implement and use thin clients on an Intranet.
