    Study Notes

    Connecting Your LAN to the Internet

    • Even if private networks use the same IP addresses, they do not cause problems because they use different public IP addresses.
    • The modem/router gets the public WAN-IP address when it connects to the ISP.
    • The modem/router assigns private network addresses to systems connected to it.
    • It uses NAT to replace the private IP address used by a system on the LAN with the Internet-addressable IP address.

    Viewing Your Public IP Address

    Wired Connection - Ethernet

    • A wired connection to a LAN is called an Ethernet connection.
    • Ethernet cables are used to connect computers and other devices to wired connection points in your network.
    • Ethernet cables are made in different grades or categories called Category 5 or “Cat” 5.
    • Ethernet cables can reliably transmit signals over a cable length of about 300 feet (100 meters).

    Wireless Connection - Wi-Fi

    • Wi-Fi, or wireless fidelity, is a standard for wireless networking that uses radio waves to transfer data between computers and other devices.

    Cellular Networks

    • Cellular service travels with you and is available anywhere your provider has a cell network.
    • Your phone can roam and use services from another carrier if you leave your provider’s coverage area.

    Cellular Carriers

    • Cellular carriers are cell phone companies that provide cellular service to mobile phone users.
    • AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon are the four biggest cell carriers in the USA.
    • GSM carriers use GSM networks and their phones identify with the carrier network through the use of a SIM card.
    • CDMA carriers use CDMA networks and CDMA phones use an ESN (Electronic Serial Number) to identify with the carrier network.
    • Pre-Paid Carriers charge an up-front fee for services and are run by either a CDMA or GSM carrier or a third-party carrier who “piggybacks” services off a major carrier network.

    Obtaining Cell Service

    • Pre-Paid services provide cellular service on a month-to-month basis and do not require users to sign a contract.
