15 USB - What is it? The Basics:USB (Universal Serial Bus) is the most popular connection used to connect a computer to other devices Cross-platform compatible “Plug and Play”. What is it? The Basics: USB (Universal Serial Bus) is the most popular connection used to connect a computer to devices such as digital cameras, printers, scanners, and external hard drives. USB is a cross-platform technology that is supported by most of the major operating systems. On Windows, it can be used with Windows 98 and higher. USB is a hot-swappable technology, meaning that USB devices can be added and removed without having to restart the computer. USB is also “plug and play”. When you connect a USB device to your PC, Windows should detect the device and even install the drivers needed to use it.

29 Ethernet - What is it? The Basics:A standard for physically connecting devices into a LAN and a communications protocol that lets them share data. Most widely implemented networking standard in the world Works with all modern operating systems, cross manufacturer compatibility Requires special hardware
30 Ethernet - What is it? The Basics:Ethernet would not exist without a seamless marriage with TCP/IP. The TCP/IP protocol defines: How messages are formatted and delivered. Error detection Data flow control Message prioritization Coordinating the timing of message events
31 Ethernet – TCP/IP Protocol:IP Address The IP address is a mailing address Every Ethernet device has an IP address For example Device may be set up with a Static IP or Dynamic IP address Each time the device is powered up, a new address is assigned by a DHCP server if the lease for the IP address has elapsed
32 Ethernet – TCP/IP Protocol:Subnet Mask Allows Network Administrators to divide hosts into separate networks A mask that determines what subnet a device is on For example Subnets do not communicate with each other without the use of a gateway
33 Ethernet – TCP/IP Protocol:Gateway Allows for communication between networks. Usually communication between your network and the internet through the DSL, Cable or T1 router
34 Ethernet – Wired or Wireless?the most reliable and secure but obviously requires cabling which adds to cost. Additionally in wet or extreme environments Polyurethane (PUR) insulation cables should be used with washdown safe connector’s routers/ switches which are expensive and add to the final installed cost
35 Ethernet – Wired or Wireless?Reduces network cost by eliminating most wiring but may require advanced wireless routers and antennas for an industrial environment Security is still a potential issue as well as overall reliability More time consuming to configure, install and maintain due to security issues protocol set up Wireless Reduces network cost by eliminating most wiring but may require advanced wireless routers and antennas for an industrial environment Security is still a potential issue as well as overall reliability More time consuming to configure, install and maintain due to security issues protocol set up. As an example: When the wireless router is reconfigured, all devices must be updated to communicate
36 Ethernet – Wired or Wireless?Can you guess the ratio of wired verses wireless Ethernet units that Doran sells? 9:1 Wired over Wireless
37 Ethernet - How does it work on a Doran Scale?It is an optional communication interface. EXOPT101 Wired Ethernet, EXOPT102 Wireless Ethernet.
