Study Notes

Introduction

The text introduces Smart Building concepts and includes an example project
The text also defines "Dr" as any defective item related to a contract between the Client & another party
"Dr" does not include matters related to conformance by the Project to building regulations
Note: "Dr" is defined as an abbreviation but the definition contains the word "Dr" which can be confusing and require further clarification

Constituents of Smart Building

Smart Building is designed to automatically adapt with changes in environmental conditions, regulated by a computer
Security and communication systems are coordinated and controlled by computer workstations

DNA Distributed Network Architecture

Ideal for large buildings and multi-building campuses
Based on TIA/EIA & ISO Standard Architecture
Low fiber count backbones
Disadvantages include complex MACs (Moves, Adds, and Changes), high administration time and costs, and poor port utilization and efficiency

CNA Distributed Network Architecture

Easier and less costly MACs than DNA
Lower administration times and costs
Increased port utilization and efficiency
Less space utilized in telecommunication closets
Faster network migration path
Fewer points of failure
Disadvantages include higher initial installation costs and higher cost of optical electronics

Benefits of Structured Cabling

Greater flexibility
Future-proof solution
Easy and low-cost moves and changes
Simpler management
No downtime when reconnecting equipment
Independent of protocol and network technologies

Topologies of Structured Cabling

Topologies define the physical and logical path of your network
